The Miami Heat opened their season with a disappointing loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves , and while there were plenty of reasons Miami came up short, some of Erik Spoelstra's decisions deserve a closer look.

I was curious mostly about his defensive strategy and schemes more so than his rotations. Heat fans are blowing this loss out of proportion, it’s only one game.
