BOSTON— No extended video this time, just a quick hit by Chris Bosh. But the mad bomber was at it again Sunday in Toronto. As LeBron James was completing his interview with Sun Sports host Jason Jackson, it appeared there finally would be a Heat postgame interview with nothing detonating. But after James robo-danced through [...]
MIAMI— Ray Allen was drained. Playing 41 minutes at age 37 will do that to you, especially when all 21 of your points were needed in what turned into a 141-129 double-overtime victory over the Sacramento Kings. But as the veteran 3-point specialist took time to soak in the ice tub late Tuesday [...]
(NOTE: Through all the “Ask Ira” emails received [with more than 3,000 currently in the in-box] sometimes one merits its own place. Considering who Alan Ogg was, as perhaps the Heat’s ultimate gentle giant, this one stood out, so please indulge . . . and perhaps assist.) Dear Mr. Winderman, This past November 1st marked [...]

That was his approach entering his second start of the season Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He replaced Joel Anthony in the [...]
By Ira Winderman South Florida Sun Sentinel 6:32 p.m. EST, February 14, 2012 INDIANAPOLIS— In his exuberance of celebrating Monday’s victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, against a team that had defeated the Miami Heat in the previous two meetings, Heat forward Chris Bosh mindlessly interjected an expletive during the postgame interview Sun Sports reporter [...]
By Ira Winderman South Florida Sun Sentinel 11:45 a.m. EST, February 9, 2012 (TO COMMENT, CLICK ON “COMMENTS” TOP LEFT)— So let’s get this straight: The Heat’s throwback nights featured Miami Floridians uniforms but the Hornets got Will Ferrell to do the introductions for their blast from the past? It just seems so wrong on [...]
(TO COMMENT, CLICK ON “COMMENTS” TOP LEFT)— Travel around the NBA and glance to the rafters and you’ll often wind up shaking your head at some of the jerseys that have been retired.
