Today it's Miami's turn to return. On the program, “Media Day” this Monday at the Kaseya Center, then departure for the Bahamas for the start of the training camp. The destination may be idyllic, but the Heat are not going on vacation, far from it!
The men ofEric Spoelstra know that with the rise of competition in the East, Miami has lost its aura a little. A data that we do not only see with the forecasts of the bookmakers, but also with regard to the number of broadcasts of the Heat on national TV this season, which went from 16 in 2023-2024 to 7…
The tone is set
Enough to boost the vengeful spirit of Jaime Jaquez Jr and his teammates, who fell in the first round of the playoffs last season after reaching the NBA Finals in 2023, for the franchise's second time in three years.
15 days ago, the “sophomore” announced the color: “ I can guarantee you that they will continue to talk about us during the season. The media will always find a way to talk about us and what we do, and clearly, we're going to make some noise this season. They will have no choice but to mention our names.”
Miami has reason to be confident as the resumption approaches with a roster that remains able to “make noise”, between the trio Herro-Butler-Adebayo to play the leading roles, solid lieutenants like Terry Rozier, Duncan Robinson , Josh Richardson or Kevin Love, and promising young elements to develop like Jaime Jaquez Jr, Nikola Jovic and Thomas Bryant, even if the latter celebrated his 27th birthday this summer.
Succeed in your start
For Duncan Robinson, who had already spoken on the subject, these themes will allow everyone to be determined from the start in order to try to reverse the trend as quickly as possible.
“I think it will at least set the tone for training camp. And it can be the springboard for a good start to the season. And that's what we're really focused on right now.”slipped the shooter. “Titles are not won in October or November, but it is important to start putting in place good habits to get to the point where you can be in a position to win in June.”
Same story and same mentality with Terry Rozier: “This summer, I saw everything that was said… I know people are bored, or something like that… I will respond accordingly. »
