I'm sure we'll win plenty going away.
Honestly I can't take the pressure anymore. I hate losing so much and us falling way behind and
having to grit out the games gives me mini heart attacks.
But that's what makes it so satisfying when we win.
Exactly. Enjoy the big games, this one was a big game. The Miami board is playing it off as a scheduled loss for the Heat because Herro and Adebayo just returned but anytime we beat a Finalist from last year we need to be thrilled. Plus, this group of 4 games in 4 cities (Miami, Philly, Minneapolis, Sacramento) is a big road trip. Even though one game is at home, lots of travel, and it's Xmas week.
Teams that stack wins up in a row during the winter holidays and winter months are the ones that have been focused enough to slog through the travel and find ways to win. At the end of the day, the PO seeding really makes a difference. Being in the top-4 greatly increases the team's chances of reaching the Conf. Finals or the Finals.
