The Miami Heat conducted their exit interviews, discussing the past season's performance and future expectations. Coach Erik Spoelstra emphasized the importance of the last few weeks, acknowledging the pressures faced by young players like Kel'el Ware in playoff scenarios. Spoelstra also reflected on the team's overall performance, recognizing the challenges faced and the realism of their conference standings, indicating a need for reflection on the past five years. Notably, players expressed personal growth goals for the upcoming season, including Ware's desire to strengthen his game.
"Last 6-8 weeks were important for him, the heightened pressure/expectations of us trying to get into the playoffs/play-in/learning lessons from these 4 games.... not a lot of guys from this draft class played in the Playoffs. Him/Pelle got that experience..."
"There's second-guessing on what we could have done better to right the ship in turbulent waters. It's not as if that would have moved the needle for us to be first in the conference. That's unrealistic... it was a good 5-year run."
