For four days before the start of these Eastern Conference finals, left with little else to discuss during yet another extended postseason break, coach Erik Spoelstra and his Miami Heat players spoke of the impending need to make the hustle plays, be first to the ball, impose will, take care of the small stuff in the margins.
Basically, all the trite notions that eventually would give way to superstars offering the spectacular during the penultimate round of the postseason.
Only not so trite.
