I Want Riles, And Awesome Decision Passing On Matt Ryan

I've often been accused of overthinking things.

I sit and analyze and then I go over the same thing in my head again and again.

Sometimes the simplest answers are staring you right in the face.

So allow me a few knee-jerk reactions (not pictured).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pat Riley is the best coach in the Heat organization right now.

Is that a crazy thought?

I know he's not coaching.

I know he's in his 60s.

But if you want to tell me that Erik Spoelstra gives the Heat a better chance to win RIGHT NOW--- you're lying.

Yes, it's great to develop a young talent.

Spo's a great story who worked his way up from the video room.

Time to go back there.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Riley can take you places, that other coaches can't.

Stan Van Gundy was given basically the same roster with the Heat--- couldn't get it done.

Riley took over.

15 Strong--- Championship.

You going to tell me Spo is better than Stan?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Riley's foundation is defense.

Even with the showtime Lakers--- who always converted defense to offense (triggering their fastbreaks).

The Heat team right now has no identity.

They have been exposed TWICE by the Celtics who are an ELITE, superior team.

They are sick of hearing about Miami.

Which is why Paul Pierce tweeted after the game..."It's been a pleasure to take my talents to South Beach"--- ouch.

Miami needs to gel--- but they need to do it under the man who uses lots of gel.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Dolphins have a quarterback crisis.

They kicked Chad Henne in the groin and said--- you ain't the man.

Let's go to a broken, surgically repaired 34 year old who throws like a woman (I happen to be a Chad Pennington fan).

The Dolphins passed on Matt Ryan in the draft.

Matt Ryan is 18-1 at home as a starter.

The Fins haven't won a home game this year.

I like Jake Long.

He'll block for mediocre quarterbacks for the next decade.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes the talk-radio crowd and the masses react too quickly.

Other times, they just point out the obvious.

Riley should coach the Heat and the Dolphins were dumb to pass on Matty Ice.
