While the will for an extended offseason may need been high in most places, Spoelstra didn’t mince his words when addressing Miami’s quick turnaround.
“It’s a quicker turnaround for those quite teams, but if you consistently attend The Finals … but that’s the worth of chasing something great.” Spoelstra knows what it takes to win championships.
He also knows that the instant presents itself and will vanish in a moment , so there’s no sense in holding anything back .
MATCH DETAILS :
SERIES : NBA 2020-21
VENUE : American Airlines Arena, Miami, FL
DATE AND TIME : Wednesday, December 30, 2020 06:00 AM
KEY PLAYERS OF MIA VS MIL :
MIAMIHEAT (MIA) :
GORAN DRAGIC :
He was named an NBA All-Star for the first time in 2018 with Miami. He led the senior Slovenian national team to its first FIBA EuroBasket title in 2017, while being named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament.
DUNCAN ROBINSON :
He transferred to Michigan from Williams after leading the NCAA Division III Williams Ephs to the 2014 NCAA Men’s Division Basketball Tournament championship game. He was the 2014 Division III Rookie of the Year and a Division All-American.
BAM ADEBAYO :
Adebayo had 17 points (5-9 FG, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in Friday’s win over the Pelicans.
Adebayo wasn’t overly aggressive on the offensive end, but he finished with another well-rounded performance. The big man does not shoot threes, but he’s a fantasy contributor in virtually every other category.
MILWAUKEE BUCKS (MIL) :
KHRIS MIDDLETON :
Khris Middleton finished Friday’s loss to the Pelicans with 29 points (9-of-16 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), four rebounds, four assists and three 3-pointers in 26 minutes.
Middleton proved to be the one Bucks player that New Orleans didn’t have an answer for defensively, which makes sense given the fact that Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) was out.
DONTE DIVINCENZO :
Donte DiVincenzo was excellent in 20 minutes vs. the Warriors on Christmas Day, scoring 13 points with four rebounds, two steals and three triples.
Donte DiVincenzo hit 6-of-11 shots for 15 points, five rebounds, three 3-pointers, three assists, two steals and one turnover in 27 minutes on Wednesday.
BOBBY PORTIS :
Portis posted 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 26 minutes off the bench in Sunday’s loss at the Knicks.
