Spoelstra is more than ready to begin training camp with his new-look team and wants the team to play at a controlled but speedy pace to take advantage of his weapons.
Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra excitedly took the podium Monday to kick off Media Day and appeared to be excited not just for his team's chances of competing this season but to finally begin coaching again after an unexpectedly long layoff.
Saying it was the first time in almost 20 years he was able to personally visit his mother on Mother's Day, he jokingly warned her not to be too excited about it but that he didn't want the experience to be repeated.
