Erik Spoelstra: “I don’t really care what our scheme is, I just want us to commit defensively to do tough things that are required in this league”

Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra says he doesn’t care what defensive scheme his staff makes use of, he just needs a dedication to bringing toughness on that finish.

(by way of Jump View):

“I don’t really care what our scheme is, I just want us to commit defensively to do tough things that are required in this league. The skill level is so high, and the shooting, the passing, and the spread offenses, that it doesn’t matter what our scheme is. You have to commit to making multiple efforts. To doing the tough things. The intangibles. All the little things to build a stable, reliable top flight defense. We’re not there yet, but we’re making progress. So we just have to keep plugging away and improving in both man and zone.”
