MIAMI— The Miami Heat still don’t know who. But at least they know when. With the New York Knicks defeating the Indiana Pacers 85-75 Thursday night, forcing that Eastern Conference semifinal series to a Saturday Game 6, the schedule for the Eastern Conference finals has come into focus. No matter the opponent, [...]
MIAMI— It took only one game of these Eastern Conference semifinals for the Miami Heat to learn the lesson the Brooklyn Nets had endured the previous two weeks: The Chicago Bulls simply won’t go away. No matter who they have available. Or don’t have available. Ultimately, the Heat’s eight-game playoff winning streak [...]
There is the path of less resistance, one that would take the Heat through the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the playoffs, the winner of an Atlanta Hawks-Brooklyn Nets series in the second, and then whoever is left standing between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals. [...]
By Shandel Richardson Sun Sentinel 11:11 a.m. EDT, October 30, 2012 MIAMI— The only statement the Miami Heat plan to make Tuesday is the fact they are opening the season against the Boston Celtics. They will not read too much into the outcome, other than they have began defense of their NBA title. “It’s just [...]
MIAMI— It’s about rings. And it’s about Ray. The rings will come first Tuesday night at AmericanAirlines Arena, putting an exclamation point on last season and the Miami Heat’s first Big Three championship with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Then the page will be turned when Ray Allen takes to [...]
OKLAHOMA CITY— Eventually, it all caught up to the Miami Heat. The relentless youth of the Oklahoma City Thunder that wasn’t going to allow an early 13- point deficit to get them down. The fool’s gold of early outside Heat success while the Thunder were building inside dominance. The inability of Dwyane Wade to step [...]
OKLAHOMA CITY— Erik Spoelstra decided not to change a thing. So the Miami Heat opened the NBA Finals with the same starting lineup that closed the Eastern Conference finals. That had Chris Bosh playing for the fourth time off the bench in as many games back since missing three weeks with a lower-abdominal [...]
MIAMI— This isn’t basketball, it’s YouTube. With all the thrills. And all the crashes. It’s Dwyane Wade to LeBron James to Chris Bosh for a driving layup, as easy as one, two, Big Three. And then it’s the Miami Heat collapsing late against the Boston Celtics’ zone defense, with Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers telling [...]
DALLAS— That victory the Miami Heat were looking for last June in Dallas? They found it Sunday. That additional element to make the game easier? They apparently have found that, as well. Doing to the Dallas Mavericks’ championship celebration what the Mavericks did to their 2011 championship hopes, the Heat got the best of LeBron [...]
MIAMI— So what can you take out of the first exhibition that also is the second-to-last exhibition? That Dwyane Wade and LeBron James in attack mode are the reason why something as mundane as this filled 20,000 seats Sunday at AmericanAirlines arena. That first-round pick Norris Cole could well be a first-year contributor. And that [...]
