Erik Spoelstra vs. Ime Udoka
One other matchup that was not easy to overlook the last time these two teams met in the Eastern Conference Finals was the adjustments that Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra was able to make that Celtics head coach Brad Stevens simply didn’t have an answer for.
However, Stevens is no longer the coach for the Celtics. The task of trying to out-game plan Spo will now fall on first-year coach Ime Udoka. But it’s not what you think. Udoka has been a really good coach, especially considering the circumstances.
He’s adjusted and has proven that his players are willing to stick by him even after their rough start to the season.
This should be an intriguing matchup to watch and could be a key to determining which team wins this series.
