How will Miami slow down the reigning MVP? If there's anyone who can figure it out, it's coach Erik Spoelstra.
MIAMI — In a one-game battle with such big stakes, there aren’t many combinations of coaches fans would be more eager to see match wits as Erik Spoelstra and Nick Nurse. Both are among the best tacticians, particularly within a single game, that the league has to offer. There is a limit to what can be done with two days rest, one practice and a morning shootaround, though. Advertisement “We are who we are,” Spoelstra, the coach, said Tuesday.
It is no surprise, then, when Nurse got a physical, multi-skilled big man to work with, he made sure Embiid could sling the ball around to his teammates so that defenses would have to make the same effort he asked of his Raptors years ago. “It’s essentially trying to guard two every position because you try to give as much help as you can with a guy like him, and he’s able to knock down shots,” Heat swingman said.
