With the recent firing of head coach David Blatt by the Cleveland Cavaliers, here's why Erik Spoelstra is among the few who keep their jobs amid trouble.
They had the best record in the Eastern Conference, and many believed an easy path to the Finals. But that didn't stop the Cleveland Cavaliers from firing their head coach David Blatt after halfway through his second season with the team. A surprise move around the league and even the locker room, but not uncommon in the NBA.
You may very well know this already, but Erik Spoelstra is the second longest tenured NBA coach with his current team behind San Antonio's Gregg Popovich.
