Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:04:46 GMT

Erik Spoelstra wanted nothing to do with the altitude conversation Wednesday afternoon.The first question asked of the 15th-year Miami head coach at Ball Arena ahead of the NBA Finals opener Thursday night was about playing on the Front Range with much shorter rest than an acclimated Denver team.He put zero stock into 5,280 feet.“If Denver wants to tip this thing off at the top of Everest, we’ll do that,” Spoelstra, the two-time NBA champion, said. “This thing is going to be decided between the four lines.

Green watched a whole lot of Eastern Conference Finals basketball over the past week-plus.“I told my wife when Boston won Game 6, it almost felt like – we’d been sitting so long, it almost felt like we weren’t in the playoffs anymore because the only thing we were doing was watching them,” Green said on the eve of Denver’s first Finals game. “But I watched two good teams battle and when they won, it was like, ‘now it’s time to refocus.’ ...
