The current season shows a stark East/West discrepancy in basketball, particularly highlighted by injuries to key players like Tyrese Haliburton, Jayson Tatum, and Damian Lillard. While the East appears wide open with teams like Cleveland and New York, Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra disagrees with this perspective. He emphasizes the importance of competition and the team's commitment to improving, stating they want to compete at the highest level regardless of rival team conditions or injuries.
"I don't [see the East as wide-open]. That's cool for the fanbase to look at it that way. We're not afraid of competition. We can't be afraid of the competition."
"You can't think that just because there's been some changes in rosters or injuries that, 'Oh now we have a chance,' that's kind of a loser's mentality."
