Miami Heat star wide receiver Tyreek Hill has warned his new teammates that the playoffs are a different sport.
The Heat will hope the experience of Tyreek Hill can help end their 5 year postseason drought. He, along with Terron Armstead, were added within 24 hours of each other to augment the young team.
With a combined nine Pro Bowls between them, Tyreek Hill and Armstead bring that little dash of stardust.
“Once you go to the playoffs, the game is definitely at a different speed — you’ve got to play at a different level,” Hill said.

“Just having us two guys who have experienced it means a lot for these younger guys. Because some guys may look at it as another opportunity to play the game. But guys hit harder, guys run faster … It’s just crazy how the game speed changes.
“It’s tough (to leave Kansas City) but when somebody comes to you with a lot of money, it changes,” Hill said with a smile. “The feelings start to change. It definitely was tough, man. I definitely had one of those moments where I had to get in my car and just drive and think about the moments I had in KC … I even had a conversation with Pat (Mahomes), that’s my brother for life.
“I know those guys are still gonna ball because they’re Hall of Famers.”

Terron Armstead says the Heat are building something special, particularly with the Hill coup.
“Come on now — the most dynamic player in the league. Always been a fan of his game, just watching,” he said.
“Now having him be a part of this offense, I think we’re building something special. Him paired with (Jaylen) Waddle, (Raheem) Mostert, the speed and then the speed of us on the offensive line — we’re going to try to turn Sundays into a track meet. But a physical track meet, let’s not overshadow that, at all.”
