Miami Heat Key to Games 5 and 6 – Coach Spo Needs To Rework His Chess Board
Coach Spo has had a rough time. It’s not that he’s been outcoached per se, but he needs to move his chess pieces back around.
Erik Spoelstra
Spo ran what was basically a seven-man rotation in Game 4 and that’s pretty normal for a playoff team. Sometimes (a lot of the time), the playoffs are about having the guys you trust out there.
The thing is—you thought Coach trusted more guys.
Now, I’m not saying Dewayne Dedmon should be closing games, but we’ve seen Spoesltra run with more guys before to find some success.
I know it’s been difficult with Lowry showing clear signs of injury but this team has gotten quality play from a variety of guys all season. We could easily see one or two more guys get consideration in Game 5 at home, especially when the shots are just aren’t falling.
That takes us to the final piece of this puzzle though.
