Miami Heat

The Miami Heat was without starting small forward Quentin Richardson and reserve power forward Udonis Haslem for Friday night's game against the Toronto Raptors at Air Canada Centre.

Missed shots, turnovers, bad losses and a rising tide of doubters have combined to leave Heat guard Dwyane Wade in an offensive slump and a foul mood.

Despite being linked to a late round of negotiations with Allen Iverson, the Miami Heat denied a report in Thursday's New York Daily News that it had made a pitch for the recently released guard.

MIAMI, 11/18 - The Miami HEAT have announced that it will host its 2009-10 HEAT Dancers magazine and poster unveiling on the front steps of the AmericanAirlines Arena on Friday, November 20 at 8:00 p.m.

Through nine games this season, the Heat found a way to become one of the league's biggest surprises thanks to consistent defense, a stunning superstar and a more productive supporting cast.

Once one of the NBA's most bitter rivalries, New York vs. Miami doesn't offer the same kind of cachet these days, but some of those old feelings may be back tonight when the two teams hit the hardwood.

Apparently, the future is now for the Heat at power forward. Michael Beasley, the No. 2 overall pick in last year's draft, is in. Udonis Haslem, a starter the past five seasons and a defensive stalwart on Miami's 2006 championship team, is out.

MIAMI, 10/27 As the Miami HEAT prepares to usher in the 2009-10 season versus the New York Knicks during the home opener on Wednesday, October 28, HEAT fans will be treated to an upgraded and improved fan experience.

An alarm sounded around the NBA, heard by all with any interest in, or links to, Michael Beasley. That included a fellow former collegiate star who had faced him in the first round of the NCAA Tournament before getting selected one spot later in the 2008 NBA draft.

Wade was a one-man show, compiling an MVP-type season after struggling with injuries the prior two years. The Olympic gold medalist led the league in scoring at over 30 points per game while stuffing the stat sheet with 7.5 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.3 blocks a game.

Michael Beasley is apologizing to the Miami Heat, and calling his stay in a Houston rehab facility his "lowest hour."

By David Friedman(noreply@blogger.com) As for Miami, the Heat are obviously immensely better than they were last year. Wade has regained his explosiveness and he once again drives relentlessly to the basket. Miami's primary offensive option is Wade dribbling around until he decides to either shoot or pass; in one late game sequence, Wade was the last Heat player to cross midcourt on offense and the other four Heat players simply stood around like little kids waiting for permission to cross the street: they did not even consider the possibility of trying to run an offensive set or create an open shot by dribble penetration. Rookie point guard Mario Chalmers has played actively on defense and he is averaging more than five apg but Wade is clearly running the show.   [read the full post]

By FLCeltsFan Here are comments found around the Heat board during their game with the Celtics. I feel for the Heat fans. These comments are similar to ones from the Celtics boards last season: Hate the coach, tank talk, etc. No KG or R. Allen? This is like the old Celtics last year... Come on HEAT... The Celtics are just lucky tonight, and the Heat aren't... you Riley. Look what you've done. You can't coach your way out of a paper bag. I hate riley. Ummm, these millionaires aren't making shots! Everything can't be blamed on Riley! Pat Riley has got to go. He makes Isiah Thomas look like coach and GM of the year. That. That was bad. You know you're tanking when Dwyane Wade sits out the 4th quarter with flu like symptoms.   [read the full post]

By David Friedman The Bottom Line: The return of Dwyane Wade has hardly solved all of the Miami Heat's problems. For one thing, Wade is not yet playing at the level that he was before he got hurt last season. Another issue is Pat Riley's "subtraction by addition" offseason acquisitions of Ricky Davis and Smush Parker; Davis has no interest in playing any defense and did not contribute much offensively versus the Celtics (six points on 1-6 field goal shooting), while Parker has been playing terribly (.315 field goal percentage) and, to top it off, is dealing with some legal problems as well. Riley's latest move is to bench Davis and point guard Jason Williams in favor of Penny Hardaway and Chris Quinn. ESPN's Stephen A. Smith reported that Shaquille O'Neal had cro...   [read the full post]
