Erik Spoelstra compares the Heat’s end of the season to “March Madness”

A year ago, to the day, Miami held first place in the East. A place of n°1 that the Floridians will keep until the start of the playoffs. This season, with a little less than ten wins less, the Heat is far from the top of its conference, occupied by the Bucks.

With a record of 39 wins for 34 losses, the Heat, 7th in the East, is not even guaranteed to qualify directly for the playoffs without going through the “play-in” box.

Nothing is simple this season, I accept the fact that it is not easy. And I told the team: we have to accept it. It’s the way to go, it doesn’t mean it’s something negative. You have to keep that in mind, accept it and take up the challenge », Erik Spoelstra poster.

The Florida coach speaks thus at the end of a victory on the floor of the Pistons. Although unconvincing, this success has the merit of allowing Miami to get closer to the Nets, current occupants of 6th place with two fewer wins (39-32).

New Yorkers who remain on three consecutive losses, where Jimmy Butler and his gang have won three of their last four outings. And this before a game” of utmost importance wednesday “, as the coach said, facing the Knicks (5th, 42-30), before the reception of the Nets precisely at the end of the week.

This will be our ‘March Madness’ and our ‘April Madness’ “, thus compares Erik Spoelstra in allusion to the university tournament with direct elimination. ” I see similarities between the two, it’s a must win every game. If you are a competitor, you must love this. No matter how we got here, if you’re a competitor and you want to be tested, have the opportunity to conquer others, that’s what it’s all about. “, develops the technician.

The latter considers that he and his players are looking for this pressure. ” We don’t want matches without stakes or aiming for the lottery. We are looking for this context to see what this competition can bring. She will bring out […] excitement, frustration. Anger, joy and everything in between. This is where you feel most alive, when you throw yourself into the competition without necessarily knowing what is going to happen. », delivered the coach ten days earlier.

His Heat have only nine games left before the end of the regular season.
