    Time for Van Gundy to coach heat

    i said it before the playoffs and say it now. spoelstra is one big reason the heat lost this series. lebron played his part in the loss also, but this guy never made adjustments, played a zone team but never inserted the nba leading 3pt shooter james jones. he was a small fish in a big pond in way over his head. van gundy has the experience, knowledge, riley connection, and talent is in place to win titles. and i can defend lebron no longer. all you guys that called him lechoke, lefraud, etc., he did not prove otherwise!

    after riley screwed his brother last time out a coaching job, i doubt this will happen..

    also you act like this is some scrub team that beat the heat..dallas swept the lakers also, does that mean phil jackson is a scrub coach?

    If Jones played every one of Bibby's minutes they probably win the series

    I always liked Van Gundy but I think Spoelstra is coming back in November.

    anyone who watched that series knows the lakers didn't lose because of coaching. dallas played alot of zone d and there were no adjustments made in the heat series. just one on 3 basketball and wade was incredible to score and break down 2 and 3 guys and they fastbreaked every missed shot before dallas could set up d.

    I hope Van Gundy does coach some team so we dont have to hear his annoying whiny-ass voice broadcasting games any more.

    huh? no.... it wasnt their defense that was so great, it was their offense. great ball movement, and they kept making their shots.

    He really does have the "deer in headlights" look. Something tells me Riley will replace him after this.

    dallas played zone defense, especially in the 4th qtrs. dwade was able to do incredible things breaking past 2 and 3 guys, but lebron doesnt have wade's speed. every fan and coach knows you punish teams for playing zone. and keeping the LEAGUE'S best 3 pt shooter on the pine isn't punishing. carlisle ran circles around this guy. spoelstra seems to be to riley what isaiah is to dolan. again i say he was given the keys to a ferrari and he ran it into a ditch. has he ever heard of a pick and roll?? they won those other series based on talent. when they needed coaching, he offered nothing but,"fellas, we're in a fight. this is a battle" in lieu of making adjustments.

    I'm guessing he and Riley don't have the best relationship after their NY days.

    Van Gundy will most likely end up with the Raptors. they want a defensive coach, as they need one badly....

    Van Gundy would take the Raptors to the playoffs.
    watch out for Ed Davis next season. This guys gonna be a beast.

    word.

    I'm still surprised Riles let Spoelstra finish. I thought he would have relieved him of his duties after they let game 2 slip away.

    According to truehoop, the Mavs are the only team in the league w/ an official team shrink. It seems like these Heat could use one as well.

    Yeah Spoelstra is a clown and not respected by the team's biggest stars. Also in my opinion they need to get rid of James or Wade, or at least all should know who is the leader and No.1 in the team and who is much and I mean much below him. Also someone should explain to Chris Bosh that he is nobody and nothing. And not even close to the two mentioned above. It was really big joke when Bosh in the middle of the regular season when the team does not doing just well, stated that he need to get more balls and to take a lot more shots. At that moment it was obvious that Heat are in big problem because of the ego of some players.
