Journalist Zach Lowe believes that no team wants to face the
Miami Heat in the playoffs because of their record. The Heat are going through a rather difficult season as they
are placed in the eighth position in the Eastern Conference after registering
33 wins and 26 defeats this season.
Lowe, who works for ESPN as an NBA journalist, was recently quoted in a report where he stated that no
team is keen to face a side like the Heat, largely because of their historical
performances in the playoffs.
“I don’t care what their record is,” said Lowe. “I don’t
care what their seed is. Nobody wants to see these guys. Nobody wants to see
Jimmy Butler beatin’ people up, Bam [Adebayo] beatin’ people up and Spo (Erik
Spoelstra) on the sideline crafting zones and schemes and being one step
ahead.”
The Heat have been on a decent run recently as they registered five
wins in their last six matches in the competition. Their next match is against
the Utah Jazz on Friday at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
The star performer for the Heat this season has been small
forward Jimmy Buttler who has registered 21.5 points per game to go with 5.5
rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.
