Generally, I honestly wouldn't do that. However, Spoelstra really coached like an amateur against Carlisle. Dallas exploited gaps in Spoelstra's defense that every team in the league is now aware of. Carlisle also stunted their offense with timely zones because he knew Spoelstra relied too heavily on pure athleticism. Miami showed no set offense because of this reliance. After JJB was pushed into Dallas' starting lineup, the Mavs won three straight games. It took two losses in a row before Spoelstra reacted and copied the move by promoting Chalmers to their starting five. He was out coached in every aspect. He should be fired in my opinion.
Miami needs a seasoned coach to be dominate. If they can do that, I think they will become a dynasty.
