The Miami Heat are back in the playoffs.
Once again, Erik Spoelstra’s team beat the odds and proved that regardless of where they stand in the regular season or who’s on the floor, they will always be a force to be reckoned with at this time of the year.
For the second season in a row, they defeated the Chicago Bulls to secure the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference.
That’s why Coach Spo wanted to take a minute to express his gratitude and admiration towards his players, praising them for what they’ve been able to accomplish and for their ‘earned, not given’ mentality.

The Heat took the court by storm.
Despite not having Terry Rozier and Jimmy Butler due to injuries, they were dominant on both ends of the floor, and the game was never close.
The Heat have found plenty of success against the Boston Celtics in the past, but they might not have Butler back in the first round — if at all — this time around.
Needless to say, going against the best team in the regular season without their best player is going to be an uphill battle.
Spoelstra is still one of the best coaches in the game, so they will always have a chance.
And even if they fall short of their goal again this season, this team will continue to come back strong year after year and be the last squad anybody will ever want to come across in a seven-game series.
