CORAL GABLES — It doesn’t take much to get UM center Reggie Johnson going. Today, it was Kobe vs. LeBron. Duck for cover, Reggie. It all started innocently. Asked about LeBron James crediting his off-glass ally oop to the Shane Larkin to Kenny Kadji dunk in the UNC game, Johnson dropped a subtle reference to [...]
MIAMI— Mario Chalmers and Shane Battier are feeling good because the Miami Heat are winning. Then again the fact that the Heat are winning has plenty to do with Mario Chalmers and Shane Battier feeling good. With both players having regained their stride amid this five-game winning streak, each has pointed to [...]
By Ira Winderman South Florida Sun Sentinel 1:47 p.m. EST, December 30, 2012 The difference between Monta Ellis and Dwyane Wade? Just a couple of championships and quite a few victories. Yup, nothing but that, Ellis said, as the Heat faced the Bucks on Saturday night. Granted, Ellis got the better of things Saturday. But, [...]
Miami –— Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra did not want to jinx it. After a stretch of injuries, the Heat are the healthiest they have been since the beginning of the season.

Otherwise, it means having to go back to Oklahoma City, where the Thunder have lost only once in 10 home playoff games, with [...]
MIAMI— Prudent or not, the Miami Heat during the Big Three era rarely have overstated the moment, whether it was losing the Eastern Conference finals opener last spring to the Chicago Bulls, returning home down 3-2 in last season’s NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks, or even being forced to settle for the No. [...]
MIAMI— Eddy Curry’s first game as a member of the Miami Heat was one test. The day after was another. Just hours removed from logging his first NBA minutes since Dec. 17, 2009, Curry said his body “felt good” Friday. The 7-footer scored six points and grabbed three rebounds in six minutes in his Heat [...]

My thoughts concern a proposal for a new anonymous survey of teachers to be conducted by students, and a new [...]
