    ===========================
    SUNS - Frank Vogel

    ===========================
    Heat - Erik Spoelstra

    Is he really all that good? Outside of last year where they played the luckiest 2 series in history, he has done nothing without lebron. They underachieve every season despite having 2 all nba level players

    The Celtics might not just have Mazzulla but people forget Sam Cassell, Rondo and JVG in that building behind him....

    That is a mighty staff.......

    I like Spoelstra but the Heat do not have a clear superstar, I think Butler is not a legit superstar.

    He is just a very good Playoff performer.

    I think butler is massively overrated also but him and bam are still allstar level players, and yet they struggle to be in the top 8 in a trash conference

    I would have Lue and Spoelstra at the top...Nurse a hair below that....not really sure past that except that Kidd wouldn't be close to the top.
