Denver Nuggets’ Aaron Gordon Has The ‘Utmost Respect’ For The Miami Heat
Aaron Gordon and the Denver Nuggets are prepared for a dogfight against the Miami Heat
Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon said Wednesday they respect the Heat and their fight.
The Heat are one of the most confident teams in the NBA. They show it on the court, in interviews and social media videos. This group has even popularized the phrase “Heat Culture”.
They displayed their confidence recently before Game 7 against the Boston Celtics. There were reports they already booked their flight to Denver before Game 7 took place. Obviously, they knew what they were doing.
“They’re well-coached and have some guys that have been there before and have some guys that have chips on their shoulder,” Gordon said. “So, we’re not looking at the seeding or the story around it. This is a very talented basketball team, professional basketball team and all those guys over there got game, so we respect it.”
The Heat have always been recognized for their coaching and front office staff. They are part of the reason why the Heat have been able to reach the Finals this season, despite the inconsistency. Pat Riley is known for his smart business decisions when times get rough and coach Erik Spolestra still has a job, despite the recent coaching changes.
