MIAMI — The Miami Heat could have to wait until Monday before learning their opponent in the Eastern Conference finals. That doesn’t mean they are unable to begin the preparation. While they await the Indiana Pacers or New York Knicks, the focus Friday was making sure they avoid a repeat of what happened the last [...]
CHICAGO — Let’s not mince words: If Derrick Rose says his knee isn’t ready, it’s not ready. He can’t play. He can’t help.

The whispers of Wade [...]

For the first time with the Miami Heat, Mike Miller might actually start a regular season in uniform. After considering retirement during the NBA Finals and then contemplating back surgery at the completion of the [...]
MIAMI— Now comes the inevitable pushback from the team that is behind. It is a practically a playoff formality. So a day after Boston Celtics guard Rajon Rondo said, “they’ve got to hit the deck, too,” the Miami Heat treated the comment as routine postseason fodder. “I mean,” forward LeBron James said, “I don’t really [...]
