Heat Using Criticism as Fuel

Filed under: Heat

SALT LAKE CITY -- If there's some paranoia with the Miami guys about what might be the latest national Heat hammering, it's understandable.



Following a Miami practice Tuesday at the Utah Jazz's complex, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was debating whether naysayers have motivated his team.



Suddenly, Spoelstra said, "Is there something new?''



Relax, coach. With the Heat (14-8) having won five straight heading into Wednesday's game at Utah, the team actually is hearing the most positive comments it has all season.



"I didn't mean to be funny with that. It's just that there's been so much,'' Spoelstra, following laughter by the media, said when told that there was no reason to panic and the Internet wasn't full of any further Heat bashing.
