The Miami Heat just wrapped up two consecutive days of practice, which is significant for this reason: It might not happen again for a while.How long?
March isn’t out of the question.Practice time is something that will be in short supply around the NBA this season; teams are basically playing every other day, and that — along with travel and mandated days off — realistically leaves time for no more than two practices per week.
Given that teams also had fewer preseason games than usual along with shorter training camps, there just hasn’t been as much time to teach and ease into a year as most coaches would like.And the hectic pace is pretty much going to last all season.“I think you need to adjust and at least we’re all on an even playing.
