Unlike the rest of the games on this road trip, we didn't leave directly after the Spurs game last night. Instead, we spent the night in San Antonio and practiced there this morning before flying to Miami this afternoon.
I am exhausted, I don't mind telling you. It makes me feel like a wuss to admit that, seeing as, you know, I'm not actually playing basketball, merely watching it (though I could claim my fingers are tired right? I mean, these live blogs don't write themselves people).
Miami is usually one of the more fun stops on the season-long tour of the NBA, but I don't know that I'll be doing it up on South Beach this evening. I am meeting up with a few of the Hawks staffers for some dinner, but after that I am probably going to crash. Everyone I've talked to in the last day or so has said this road trip has felt particularly long, though I'm sure the losses have played a role in that.
The Hawks have had success against the Southeast Division this season, going undefeated so far in four games against the Wizards, Magic, and Bobcats. Let's hope that trend continues tomorrow against the Heat. This team needs a boost, and as we all know, winning is the ultimate cure.
More in the morning after shootaround.
