    I concede that.
    I think the question for me was . . . .same with Phil Jackson
    How good are they when they don't have the most Dominant player on the planet on their team.
    Spo - often is discredited

    There are those that feel like Former Cleveland Coach Mike Brown could have coached that Miami team to a championship

    Unfortunately for Blatt, if he wins the title, he gets none of the credit because everyone says how couldn't you win with all that talent.

    BUT, if he loses, he gets all the blame.

    Its a tough situation, Blatt came into the league with promise and hope to coach a young roster into a contender. Then he was instead expected to win a title ASAP.

    Given the expectations for a rookie coach, and where the Cavs are now, you have to say Blatt has done an incredible job to forge an identity for the Cavs.

    Spoelstra was not a rookie coach when Lebron arrived, he had a few seasons under his belt. Blatt has had to adjust to the league on the fly. Its as if you were hired to be the president of a small company, but then were told on day one that the company better triple in revenue in year one or your fired. Incredible amount of stress Blatt must have night in night out.

    Spo had RINGLESS LBJ
    Blatt has TWO RINGS LBJ

    You think that makes a difference in LBJ's respect for the coach?

    i'm floored with how good wiggins has been since January. He keeps on improving and he will be a top 5 player by the time he's in his early 20's.
