— He has heard it all the past few years. Chris Bosh has heard he’s too soft and doesn’t rebound enough. He’s been called the Third Wheel and the half in Two-and-a-Half Men. Even after last year’s playoffs, when his injured absence marked the darkest days of the Heat spring, he came back this year [...]

It’s just that such a result would have provided clarity. “I’m more anxious than anybody,” he said Tuesday of learning the Miami Heat’s opponent in the Eastern Conference semifinals. “Me and Spo probably are in the same boat, [...]
MIAMI — — Erik Spoelstra has said it several times throughout the second half of the NBA and college basketball seasons. He thinks there is a cool factor to the Miami Heat and University of Miami Hurricanes being at or near the top of their respective sports. What would make it even better is if [...]
MIAMI— This was not the smoothest of operations. Not close, even at the dramatic finish.

MINNEAPOLIS— Memo to Miami Heat operations department: Next time use more force with the NBA office to schedule LeBron James’ birthday as a home game.
