Spoelstra to coach East, start Bosh?

By virtue of beating the new-look Toronto Raptors on Sunday, the Miami Heat have have assured that their head coach will be working on All-Star Sunday. Erik Spoelstra will coach the Eastern Conference squad, one which featured three of his own players. While Lebron James and Dwyane Wade have been selected to start, there’s still the...

All-Star Sham: Josh Smith got robbed

For those of you not in the ATL, Josh Smith was passed up for an All-Star spot for the second year in a row yesterday (see list here). He had the numbers to get in (17 pts, 8 rebs, 4 assts, 2 blks, 1 stls). He even had the team success coaches like to see. The...

Note to Celtics: Stop playing Miami’s game

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. That must be Boston’s modo when facing the Miami Heat. It’s no surprise Kevin Garnett threw some fake elbows last night…he’s really just a fake center like Bosh. Doc Rivers paid a lot of lip service to the signing of Darko Milicic in training camp only to cement him...

Heat wanted Stoudemire, not Bosh

The power forward matchup in the Knicks-Heat series has been full of drama…..none of it coming on the actual court, though. If you like storylines then this has been the matchup for you. Chris Bosh brought another life into this world just before Game 3…while Amar’e Stoudemire apparently felt he could put out...

Don’t Underestimate the Heat

A few weeks back, I said that the Miami Heat are mentally weak and not even as good as last season’s team. Their play since has only lived down to that assessment. I’m not backing off those statements, especially after their recent stretch of lackluster games (the Bobcat win doesn’t count). However, I...

The East is…

…boring?……predictable?? They definitely are who we thought they were….. Going into the season, most people thought the Eastern Conference was pretty much a known commodity. It was the Heat, the Bulls and everyone else. A couple of teams are better than we thought (Sixers…Magic…) and few are worse (Knicks…Knicks…), but for the most...

Bulls Feelin’ The Heat

If you think this title implies that the Chicago Bulls are feeling pressure from Miami these days, you need to bone up on your street vernacular. Just like someone can be feelin’ a new song, a new car, a new girl…that’s how Tom Thibodeau‘s crew is feelin’ the Miami Heat. Despite losing this past...

‘Amnesty Clause’ Gone Wild

The hot topic in the NBA right now is the triumphant return of the ‘amnesty clause’ which allows each team to waive one player and get his contract off the salary cap. This provision was a hit in the NBA almost a decade ago and will most likely be remixed when the new CBA is reached...

Heat Must Trade Bosh

Let me start by saying that I’m not a hater of ‘The Big Three’ in Miami. The main reason why? because there isn’t one. I see two superstars and a one really talented “bigman” that just doesn’t fit in. Sure I, like everyone else, was disheartened last summer when three of the top free agents all decided...
