The Miami Heat Need These Games For Playoff Positioning As Well
And here’s the thing when you take a look at what these guys have done since their last encounters with the Miami Heat, they haven’t slowed down.
Randle most recently went for 57 points Monday, though in a defeat to the Timberwolves, while averaging 28.7 points across his last 10 games. That’s certainly production!
And you could say the same for Bridges, who is averaging, pretty much, 26 points per game in the 16 games played since coming over to Brooklyn from Phoenix in the Kevin Durant trade. Bridges has found himself as one of the young stars of a Brooklyn core that is still in the midst of a playoff race, albeit as a result of a very wacky and unique situation.
Randle is in the midst of a resurgent year and to be quite frank, he’s resurging while already being a star player and proven scorer in the league.
With both of those players taking their games to another level as of recent though, showing that at the highest of levels against the Heat in recent contests, and while being the teams that directly sit ahead of the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Playoff race—that should be all the motivation that the Miami Heat need to go out and get the job done.
Now, saying that is one thing but getting it done is, of course, something totally different. Let’s hope that another one of Jimmy Butler’s prescribed Nickelback medleys isn’t in their near future though as right now, stacking up wins for better playoff positioning is all that should matter.
