    Looking at these playoffs I think there are several Areas of the Game
    I have enjoyed watching. The Chess Match if you will.

    1. Coaching. Spo and Malone are COACHING. Mazzulla and Ham's first year status is showing
    Honestly. . . DOC displayed why he is DOC. I think the Lakers and Philly lost because their coaches
    could not be without their stars for more than a few moments.
    Philly Playing Embiid, Tucker, Harden 38+ minutes a night was insane.
    38 yr old LeBron fading down the stretch was not surprising with the minutes he logged
    The other players either could not or would not step up. They were either not empowered or not coached too.
    To me that is COACHING

    A Heat Nuggets championship is the Ultimate WILL versus SKILL game
    The Heat are 100% Will. Jimmy's value is beyond the states .
    Make no mistake the Heat are playing above their heads
    Jokic is playing the ultimate skill game. The Denver Nuggets are a machine
    No on knew cause no one was watching.

    Funny Jokic and Butler are kind of the opposites
    Jokic is the Carrot - Play well and you will be rewarded with a nice assisted basket
    Butler is the Stick - Play well OR ELSE! LOL

    Make no mistake all teams have these
    SKILL, WILL, and COACHING
    The ones winning this year have all three.
    The WILL can come from coaching but Coaching cannot come for just will power
