Miami Heat: 0-3 To Cavs And T-Wolves This Year, This Is Just What They Needed

What these clichés mean here are to endure what you have done to others all year and then to simply have to endure the bad or uncomfortable to help you get better. That’s what that one will do for this Heat team moving forward, hopefully and especially across these next two.

It should serve as extreme motivation for the games against the young Cavaliers and Timberwolves, though for two very distinct reasons. The Cavaliers have just imposed themselves upon the Heat this season, but the Timberwolves have gotten, flat-out, disrespectful in recent times.

They will have to continue to endure a bit, as these teams are tough and they may not have all of their guys going. However, they’ve overcome all year long and need to continue to show the ability to thrive under pressure.

The guys have to take it upon themselves too though, as key guys like Kyle Lowry and Dewayne Dedmon can be better than they were against Phoenix, specifically. Everyone, including guys like Bam Adebayo, need to keep an eye on the little things too, such as rebounding but you trust that all is right after the medicine they took.

Either way, all of the above should be more than enough cause to deliver quite the performances in retribution. At least, that’s the way you hope to see the team respond to what happened to them Wednesday in this type of scenario.

You should have more faith that “they will” than that “they won’t” though, that’s for certain.
