Eric Spoelstra Is Their Head Coach

When it comes to the postseason, talent is very important. In the NBA, the team with the more talented roster has a distinct advantage.

While the Miami Heat may not have the talent of the Big 3 the Brooklyn Nets have with Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving, they have one huge advantage; Eric Spoelstra.

Spoelstra is one of the best head coaches in the NBA. He has coached through plenty of different scenarios, having the super team or being the scrappy underdog that beats teams they weren’t expected to.

Whatever the situation calls for, Spoelstra has dealt with it in the past. Having that kind of experience on the sidelines is as valuable as anything. Miami goes into games knowing they have the head coaching advantage on an almost nightly basis.

He worked his way up the ladder to become head coach and knows what it takes to win. In crunch time, Spoelstra will be able to express a calm demeanor that less experienced coaches may not be able to project as confidently.
