Ray Allen came up big when he was needed most, hitting three huge threes, and pulling down grown man rebounds late, leading the Heat to a 94-82 win over the Brooklyn Nets that pushes their series lead to 2-0. The Big 3 had their second straight meh game, combining for…
The Miami Heat destroyed the Brooklyn Nets last night, but as far as we know, the Nets players’ testicles are still anatomically intact. Unless, of course, the Evansville Courier and Press knows something we don’t. See also: Miami Herald Runs Macy’s Ad Congratulating Heat on Winning NBA Title…
That’s how it’s done, son. The Miami Heat opened its semifinals matchup against the Brooklyn Nets with an emphatic buzz-saw-like 107-96 win. Longtime Heat nemesis Kevin Garnett went 0-2 and was scoreless for the first time in 139 career playoff games. Paul Pierce had eight points. (Dramatic pause for laughter.)…
Now things start to get interesting. The Bobcats series was cute and all, with some mild excitement and dramatic moments here and there, but now is when things get super-really real. Tonight in Miami, the Heat faces the Brooklyn Nets, a team that swept the regular-season series in game one…
It’s no secret that the Marlins aren’t very popular. Have you been to a game lately? No, you probably haven’t, but if you did you’d be greeted by tons of empty seats. We’ve seen maps that purport to show baseball fandom by region, but using Facebook data, The New York…
Jameis Winston may be from Alabama, but the Heisman winner and Florida State quarterback has certainly adjusted to Florida culture. He was reportedly slapped on the wrists earlier this week for pulling off one of the most Florida minor crimes ever: he stole seafood from a Publix. According to Tomahawk…
Now that the Miami Heat have punched their ticket to the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals, the team and its fans can begin to look ahead to the next challenge. The Heat next face the winner of the Toronto Raptors-Brooklyn Nets series, which is tied 2-2. While the Raptors are the higher…
After audio leaked of LA Clippers owners Donald Sterling’s racist exchange with his mistress, LeBron James responded by saying there’s no place for him the NBA. Today, NBA commissioner Adam Silver essentially agreed. He announced that Sterling has been banned indefinitely from the NBA, and pending on a vote from…
Four down, a dozen to go. How sweep it is. The Miami Heat put down the Charlotte Bobcats Monday night 109-98, ending not only the Cats’ season but also their identity, because the team switches back to the Charlotte Hornets next season. The Heat completed the series, season, and life…
For a decade, Dr. Jack Ramsay, alongside Eric Reid, was the voice of the Miami Heat on Sun Sports, booming out Lenard! And Slamma! after a Voshon Lenard three-pointer or slam, or hollering his trademark for Tim Hardaway: “This away, that away, Hardaway!” Of course, Ramsay was much more than…
New tape has leaked this morning to Deadspin of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling discussing his views on race, and the audio makes it clear that Sterling is about as enlightened on the topic as mouth-breathing Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy. The key difference is that Sterling owns a major…
The Heat is steamrolling its way past the Bobcats behind two dominant games from LeBron James. And Miami Heat fans know exactly what that means: The LBJ haters are already coming out of the woodwork. Just take a look at the comments on Riptide’s post yesterday, which made the controversial…
Late in the fourth quarter, with the Heat clinging to a three-point lead, LeBron James drove to the basket looking to ice it. Instead, LBJ was given something completely different to worry about icing — his throat. The Bobcats’ Josh McRoberts met LeBron and his neck at the basket, sending…
Apparently, Miami’s reputation as Vice City worried Charlotte Bobcats coach Steve Clifford just a little too much. Rather than having his team spend two free days in this tempting city of sin between playoff games, he flew his young team back to Charlotte…
Sunday’s postseason opener answered one of the few questions some had about this Miami Heat team. Yes, Dwyane Wade is OK. And yes, he was taking names of everyone slandering him as he rested this season. Wade shot 10-16 for 23 points in 34 minutes, helping the Heat turn a…
Welcome back to the three most stressful months of your life, it’s time to basketball. The NBA Playoffs have finally arrived and the Miami Heat are right where you expected them to be, firmly cemented as the odds-on favorite to repeat as World Champions. A less than dominant regular season…
The NBA Playoffs begin Sunday for the Miami Heat against the Charlotte Bobcats, and lord knows it’s not their first time at the dance. It will be the team’s 18th appearance in their relatively young 26-year history. That of course has led to a lot of dramatic playoff moments. Here…
The Miami Heat may be entering the NBA playoffs as a second seed, but they’re tops in another set of standings. For the sixth time, LeBron James’ jersey was the top seller in the league. The Miami Heat, meanwhile, sold more merchandise this season than any other team…
Mercifully, the Heat’s regular season came to an end Wednesday night with a 100-87 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. The Heat loss means Miami finishes the season with a 54-28 record, 12 games worse than last season’s franchise record 66-win campaign. With the second seed in the East locked up…
The Marlins surprising 5-1 start had us feeling positively optimistic. Maybe this season wouldn’t be a slow, painful march to MLB irrelevance. Maybe, just maybe, this would be the first season the team actually lost a playoff series! Sadly, reality has set back in. The team is in the midst…
We’re number two! We’re number two! The Miami Heat clinched the second seed in the Eastern Conference with last night’s 114-93 loss to the Washington Wizards, a terrific feat for most teams, but not so much a reason to celebrate for your defending back-to-back NBA champions. If resting LeBron James…
Sometimes after going through a dark, dramatic period, nothing can do wonders like a brand-new wardrobe. Apparently, that was the Miami Hurricanes and Nike’s thinking as they unveiled a new set of uniforms this weekend. Similar to other special-edition uniforms the team has worn in recent years, the full set…
