Erik Spoelstra details how training camp went for the Heat.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Miami<\/p>\n
As the\u00a0Heat prepare to face off against a tough Eastern Conference, they finished their training camp Saturday as they were in the Bahamas.\u00a0Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra spoke after Saturday’s final session to talk about what was accomplished from the team during training camp as they prepare for their first preseason game on Oct. 8 against the Charlotte Hornets.<\/p>\n

Besides the work the\u00a0Heat done on the court to play faster on offense, they took in the scenery that is the Bahamas which is the fourth time the team has done training camp in the location with last season being at Florida Atlantic University. Talking specifically about the work on the court, Spoelstra would describe the camp as\u00a0\u201cproductive\u201d\u00a0according to Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve loved it,\u201d Spoelstra said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a very productive camp for us here in this place where we have the court and then it\u2019s also been good for us being outside, taking in the Bahamas air. We\u2019ve had some good dinners. All of it has just been really good.\u201d<\/p>\n

The three other times Miami came to conduct training camp at the Bahamas came before the 2013-14 season, the 2016-17 season and ahead of the 2022-23 season. In two of those times, the\u00a0Heat went all the way to the NBA Finals as they are hoping the same happens this upcoming season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love it down here,\u201d Spoelstra said. \u201cAll the players love it, the staff loves it, Micky [Arison] loves being down here in the Bahamas. They have such a presence down here with Carnival [Cruise Line]. We\u2019ve had great experiences when we\u2019ve come down here. I believe the last time we were down here, we went to the Finals. So if you can guarantee that and then get us to that next step, we\u2019ll come down here every year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for them, the Heat can’t come to the Bahamas every offseason for training camp as there is an NBA rule that doesn’t permit teams from having sessions outside the United States of America or Canada in consecutive seasons. Despite the physical aspect of training camp, Spoelstra sees the start of it as a \u201cnew beginning\u201d to what it hopefully a successful season to what their standard is to be.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t come [to the Bahamas] every year,\u201d Spoelstra said. \u201cWe have to come every other year. But it\u2019s something different. I think what it does is it signals that it\u2019s training camp, it\u2019s a new beginning, it\u2019s an opportunity to lay down the foundation hopefully for a very good season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heat’s Erik Spoelstra talks about the team’s \u201cfoundation\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With training camp now ended, the schedule in the immediate future has Sunday as an off-day for the team after a week straight of practice with Monday being the annual \u201cRed, White, & Pink\u201d scrimmage at Kaseya Center which is open to the public. Right after, they travel to Charlotte to take on the Hornets in the aforementioned preseason opener.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe laid down the first few bricks of the foundation for this season,\u201d Spoelstra said. \u201cIt was a very productive week all across the board. The work in the gym, the connection pieces outside the gym. Everybody was also able to just kind of relax and spend some time together in the evenings, and then now we just continue. The preseason starts on Tuesday. We view that still as an extension of training camp.\u201d<\/p>\n

At any rate, fans are locking in their\u00a0season predictions for the Heat\u00a0as they look to improve after the second straight season finishing at the eighth seed where they were eliminated in the first round by the Boston Celtics in the playoffs. The regular season starts on Oct. 23 against the Orlando Magic.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
