An up-and-down season for the Miami Heat marred by injuries to different players at different times may be able to turn tonight with a win over the Portland Trailblazers. The Heat haven't won two games in a row since late October, and star forward Chris Bosh thinks putting a streak together can get them back on the path to the postseason.
I think that's one of the things we have to overcome, putting stuff together. We can't just win one," Bosh said. "... Getting two in a row, that'll be our first challenge. And then we'll see after that."
As their health returns, shooting guard Dwyane Wade expects greater results to follow.
"Now we've had about three games where it's pretty much been our team," Wade said. "So now we're starting to get a little feel of how we want to play offensively, defensively, kind of find our strengths a little bit. And now we have a little more time on the road trip to play that way and see what we can do."
Portland has been a very difficult hurdle to get past at home this year, going 16-3 in 19 tilts at the Moda Center. The Heat remain undaunted though, with Erik Spoelstra actually saying he's thankful to be on a West coast run.
"This road trip will be a good time for us to get away, get away from Miami, be around each other and just continue to fight everything and to do it together," Spoelstra said.
"When you face tough times, adversity and frustration, some disappointment during the season, the only way out of it is together."
