Not sure what will be Erik Spoelstra’s next move will be

Quite frankly, it’s hard to see what exactly Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra can do as the series shifts to Games 3 and 4 in Boston. Of course, that’s why he gets paid the big bucks and not me, but it’s hard to find any resemblance of positivity for the Heat after Games 1 and 2.

They stole Game 1, which they probably didn’t have any business winning, and Boston absolutely blitzed (and embarrassed) them in Game 2. The fact that Boston had that much success in Miami is certainly concerning. Even more so considering that the Heat has struggled on the road during the postseason.

If the Heat is going to win this series, they’re going to need possibly Spoelstra’s best work. And that will have to start in Game 3. With the way that they’ve been outplayed through the first two games of this series, it’s hard to see the Heat winning a game in Boston. Can Spoestra cook up something? We shall see.
