After five seasons with a positive assessment and as many participations in playoffs, the Heat is playing with fire this season. Psychodrama Jimmy Butler and injuries weighed down a first half of the season concluded with a balance sheet of 25 wins for 28 defeats. This is enough to point temporarily in the Play-In area, but Tyler Herro has another idea in mind. The Miami All-Star believes in a big regular end of the season to finish higher than the current ninth place in the Floridian franchise.
“” These last 25 to 30 games are really important for everyone “He said During a press briefing after the All-Star Game Sunday. “” We lost the last three before the All-Star Game. We have a new workforce in a way. We will start foot in the floor. It will come very quickly, and everything will count this next month and a half. »»
“” We clearly think that we can get there He continues. “” The teams between the fourth and eighth or even ninth place are all very close to the standings. We must have three or four games late but it is a question of regularity, to have a good month and a half to arrive in the playoffs. It will be very important to us. The Heat actually has five wins behind the Pacers, currently fourth, more synonymous with the field in the first round of the Playoffs, and points to three games from the pistons, sixth and last provisional “direct”.
A rotation to rethink high speed
And if Miami started badly his month of February, the rest of the east is not in great shape either. Among the teams classified between the fourth and the eleventh place, only Detroit with its four successes of rank before the All-Star Game and Indiana have an assessment above the 50% victories over the last ten games. Heat has attenuating circumstances for him, while Jimmy Butler's trade in Golden State took place just before the Trade Deadline and recruits like Andrew Wiggins, Davion Mitchell or Kyle Anderson barely arrived.
“” We are looking for clarity and regularity in our workforce since the start of the season … »Tyler Herro analysis. “” We worked with a pack of different players. But we have a different group now, we love the workforce we have now. We are looking forward to this series after the All-Star Break. Difficult to proceed to Herro, while only eight players from the current “roster” was there to start last season.
As for whether he considers that the Heat could still strengthen in the Buyout market, Tyler Herro is quite enigmatic, repeating: ” We have clarity now, a lot of clarity“. It remains to be seen for what result.
