    Chris Bosh is the other obvious guy who has worked in this system and anchored the Miami defense to two titles. It's why Spoelstra always talked about how critical Bosh was even though no one listened.

    Or Amir...... See, theoretically, some combination of Amir/JJ/PPat/Ross should be able to cover for JV's lack of footspeed but Ross wet the bed this year and Amir isn't the same Amir.
    And there was this "other guy" who could guard 4 positions. Can't quite remember his name. Unfortunately, he's not included with the system. lol.

    Also, look at where Spoelstra's defense is now? Bottom 1/3rd of the league (21st DRTG). Even with Whiteside - a terrific off ball help defender, rebounder and elite rim-protector. And Deng's a good defender too. Bosh hasn't been out that long.

      Great point about Miami.

      A) A system needs the right personnel. Spo's system with Lebron and a healthy Bosh was championship calibre. Without them (I'm sure Spo's made adjustments this year tho) it's bottom third. Exhibit B would be Mike D'Antoni, who's offensive really influenced the entire league (teams are still adjusting offenses in that direction), but D'Antoni couldn't coach himself out of a wet paper bag when Steve Nash wasn't his point guard.

      B) Truly great coaches adjust. Thibs has worked with all kinds of personnel because of Chicago's massive injury problems. GOAT coaches like Pops adjust systems entirely to fit his personnel.

      C) Casey had the personnel in Dallas for his system (Chandler + Marion + Kidd) and the defense was really only quite good, not league best. He clearly doesn't have the personnel he needs here (see point A) and has been completely unwilling to adjust anything (see point B). He basically just tells guys to try harder and benches Jonas. That's his solution. Meanwhile the team is a bottom third defense. :/
