Erik Spoelstra PostGame Interview | Utah Jazz vs Miami Heat
Has put together an offensive system that really just fits their personnel uh and they drive hard they cut hard uh they um screen hard and then they finish off possessions where at least three guys are going to the class you know hard so as much as you can try to show
It on film you can talk about it um there’s no way to really prepare for it until you actually feel it and I think that that’s what caught us uh in that first half um you know the 19 Second Chance points but all a lot of those were were you know driving situations
That L led to um different guys on different people and then they just you know are pummeling us in the paint um but in the second half there was a better disposition um much more to how we’ve been playing the last three weeks uh and then that
Stretch uh you know when we had Caleb and and heith in there they were basically just running a two-man press running around uh creating Havoc uh and and that was that that ignition that kind of propelled us into that fourth quarter of energy and and um and inspiration and
Then bam and Jimmy you know really took over from there uh you know when bam and Jimmy uh you know play with that competitive Spirit um and they’re connected from a competitive standpoint you know our guys feel like we can beat uh anyone that we can conquer you know
Whatever we need to conquer um and they were at their best on both ends of the Court um Caleb you know as a messed up you know hand knocked in the in the mouth you know every play he makes is uh is you know just a collision
Here a collision there um he inspires everybody in our locker room uh and he’s just a gamer you know he just makes big plays at the right times um and it inspires other guys to do the same when Jimmy’s getting so many um and H I
Got a couple too when he’s getting those really deep post seals how much of that is play calling from the sidelines versus this instinctual stuff on his part and if it’s the ladder how do you sort of Train everybody to watch for those little instinctual moments when
He’s going to seal somebody yeah it it’s happened look look we’ve been doing this now for several months uh you know and it was interrupted a little bit when he was out uh but the the connection with K Love and and Jimmy you know those were a
Lot of the habits that we were building haime started to to get a feel for that um and then when Jimmy was out we were doing similar things with haime some of that was uh intentional you know early on and play call stuff uh and then you
Know by this point it’s happening more instinctually and and organically and and that’s you know the better way uh but that takes weeks and months you know to develop that kind of um cohesiveness and to be able to get it there efficiently where you’re not just
Burning clock you know um you know we have some good post entry passers and that’s an underrated skill Nico is great at it hae’s good at it bam obviously we know what he he can do and K Love’s a lead at it um and so other guys are starting to recognize those situations
Uh earlier and uh and also Bam’s post-ups uh as well Jimmy obviously got a bunch at the rim and at the free throw line but he continues to take and make more threes how much have you guys continue to stay on him to take those and have you seen opponents maybe make
Small adjustment that’s a loaded question he knows how I feel if I say too much then he’ll like you know he’s the ultimate contrarian he’s a great shooter why not like it’s a little Papa shot for him I think put him in a Three-Point Contest next year allow him just to shoot that
Shot I’ll put my money on him am I allowed to do that oh all right I won’t go there don’t put him in three-point cont uh big picture now you guys are 10 and three over the last 13 what do you like about just the way your guys have
Responded since that losing streak in January yeah I think there’s a better understanding of what wins for us if we compete and defend we create the karma we need if we don’t we pay the price I think in the first half we were you know trying to get a little bit
Caught up in in the the scoring and trying to outscore them and and then we found found ourselves down four uh but when we really lock down and and defend with physicality and Force and and discipline and with a mind you know we we can AC accomplish some things um and
I think there’s a collective understanding of that and more importantly a commitment to that it’s not easy this this league is hard I mean the offenses now are super Dynamic speed space and Pace uh makes it challenging for every single team so you the the biggest thing you have to wrap your mind
Around is doing tough things um and that doesn’t even guarantee anything it just gives you a better chance at it thanks coach all right thank you
