Bam Adebayo in sa clakue du «plai-in»!
This Thursday, the Heat traveled to Philadelphia to take on the Sixers. An important meeting for Erik Spoelstra’s men, a win would move them closer to the Top 6. Except the Floridians complicated the game with a 16-point deficit in the first period…
“We didn’t play hard enough,” laments Bam Adebayo in the first half of his team. “I don’t know how to explain it. It was clear that we weren’t trying hard enough to disrupt them and we weren’t able to put together a defensive effort.”
After the break, Miami closed the gap with 29 points Bam Adebayo and 25 of Tyler Herro. The latter even gave guests a “money time” advantage. However, the Floridians conceded 8-0 and arc 124-117 in a match where Norman Powell he had to leave his team in the first half due to a groin injury.
“It’s really frustrating,” admits Jaime Jaquez Jr. “We had two chances to go ahead and win, but we let them pass. We have to keep fighting.
Four in a row?
The warmth is absolutely wanting avoid “playing along” this season. However, with this setback, Erik Spoelstra’s men see the sixth-placed Sixers fall away. Miami (31 wins – 29 losses) is now two wins behind Philadelphia (33 wins – 26 losses).
There are still about twenty matches left, but if the situation does not change, Bama Adebayo’s teammates would compete in the playoffs for the fourth year in a row. A situation that is annoying inside.
“I don’t want to be in this shit anymore,” says Bam Adebayo when he talks about “playing in”. “We are better than participating in the ‘play-in’ four years in a row. We had difficulties away from home, but we are going home, with our fans. We will see if we can string together victories.”
Miami will play its next three games at home against the Rockets before playing the Nets twice.
