The Miami Heat — which appeared to be in danger of missing the playoffs in late January — have coped with a season of struggle and limitation better than most had a right to expect. Justise Winslow started the season brightly but ran into a winter of adjustment and difficulty. Hassan Whiteside is a dynamic […]

In case you haven’t noticed … which makes stumbling upon the blog all the more random for you… the NBA season ends in a few weeks. Teams are down to their final 7-10 games. The playoffs will be great because they’re always great, but a host of matchups could add to the intrigue. So if […]

“I’m not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We’re not ready right now. No way. Of course, I want to win next year, but I’m realistic. It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010. My patience will get tested. I know that. “ — Lebron […]

Look at Dragic draw the defense and then Whiteside is all alone to throw down a ferocious dunk…. "A ferocious finish for Hassan!"–

Rarely is there a phrase in the English language more disagreed upon than “it’s all messed up” or some variation of that phrase. To one guy, the car just needs new tie rods and brake pads and she’ll be up and running in no time; to someone else, the car needs new tie rods and […]

As far as national sports news goes this past week, “Joe Johnson signs with the Miami Heat” probably registered just slightly below whatever Johnny Manziel ate for lunch on Wednesday and several notches below “holy hell, did you see what Steph Curry did THIS week?” but probably, there was no more significant event in the […]

The Golden State Warriors were “outed” Wednesday night… and it didn’t matter. I just finished watching the Warriors get out-worked, out-hustled, out-rebounded and generally out-played. Their opponent, the Miami Heat, was not a great team, but a very good one, featuring a vintage performance by future Hall-of-Famer Dwyane Wade. The Warriors won by six. Did […]

Steph Curry can just about do it all. Here he is barely crossing mid-court and launching a long three pointer to beat the first quarter buzzer against the Miami Heat…. How to end a quarter by

It’s almost March, so why shouldn’t an NBA story begin with a little taste of Bill Raftery? Late in Duke’s win over Illinois in the 2004 Atlanta Regional final (yes, the regionals were referred to by their cities, then, a practice which mercifully didn’t last long), Luol Deng made the key plays which carried the […]

To win in baseball, a team needs pitchers who can get outs with several pitches, a splitter being one of them. Without Tiago Splitter, the Atlanta Hawks have less depth and rim protection. The first two games after the All-Star break have painted the worst possible picture for a team whose postseason prospects are getting […]

The two “halves” of an NBA season aren’t really halves at all. The first 41 games are played well before January ends, but the All-Star break doesn’t arrive until the second week of February, when more than 50 contests have come and gone. The season is better framed as a two-thirds marathon, followed by the […]

The last few seasons have not been kind to Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade. The perennial All-Star has dealt with numerous injuries as he’s gotten older. In the 2013-2014 season, Wade played in only 54 games and averaged 19 points, 4.7 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 32.9 minutes. In the postseason that year, Wade averaged […]
