Undeniable Heat: Southeast Division Preview
Posted on 23 Oct 2012 by Warren Shaw.
With little in the category of drama, the Southeast Division is an open and shut case regarding the first place winner. The Miami Heat are the defending champions which would give them the edge anyway but they have watched two division foes become significantly weaker in Atlanta and Orlando. With Joe Johnson (formerly of the Hawks) and Dwight Howard (formerly of the Magic) out of the division, ...

Lakers / Heat Stoke NBA ’12-13
Posted on 16 Oct 2012 by Steven Keys.
Consider this the year of LeBron. Not because he and his Heat team are a lock to repeat as champs in 2013. Au contraire, the new & improved Lakers will have a thing or two to say about who dons that crown come next June. Rather, it’s because this’ll be the first time in his 10-year NBA tenure that Mr. James can actually enjoy himself on a basketball court. Having garnered that elusive c...

Miami Heat Set to Repeat?
Posted on 28 Jul 2012 by Bradley McElroy.
Finally after two seasons together the big three won the NBA Championship. Wade, Lebron and Bosh accomplished what they came together to do, WIN the NBA Championship. Pat Riley a master at the game put together the best supporting cast with the little money left after signing the big three. After making it so close to a championship the year before, Riley added a few new players such as Shane B...

The NBA has released the 2012-13 schedule and unlike last year, fans will have games to look forward to in November. The Miami Heat will be looking to defend their second NBA Title. Fans in Miami certainly hope that they do a better job than they did in 2007, when they were swept out of the 1st round of the playoffs by Chicago. The quest to repeat as NBA Champions will begin on November 3...

USA Basketball Announces the 2012 Olympic Team
Posted on 7 Jul 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Without much fan fare USA Basketball announced the finalists for the Olympic team headed to London this summer. The team began practice in Las Vegas earlier in the week with 15 NBA players vying for 12 roster spots. In actuality only 3 of those spots were really available with guys like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant along with others already assured their spots on the roster. The decision was repor...

OKC Title Hopes Vanish in a Storm of 3s
Posted on 22 Jun 2012 by Steven Jones.
The eight-man team beat the two-man team. That made perfect sense. The Miami Heat being the eight-man team, while the Oklahoma City Thunder found itself with two above-average performers? That was where sense departed the 2012 NBA Finals. After four games that could have gone either way, the host Heat secured its championship with a shooting display for the ages, shredding the Thunder defense w...

LEBRON ON THE BRINK
Posted on 21 Jun 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
He has been called “King James”. He has also been called a choker. Before he ever set foot on an NBA court, he graced the cover of Sports Illustrated. ”The Chosen One” was the headline, and some have called him “The Frozen One” when talking about his failures as a professional. LeBron James was and is the single most hyped athlete we have ever seen, a...

Westbrook Tragic Hero in Painful OKC Loss
Posted on 20 Jun 2012 by Steven Jones.
James Worthy. Isiah Thomas. Magic Johnson. Russell Westbrook, you're in good company. With your needless foul that essentially ended your team's chances in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, you joined the above list, tentatively titled, “All-Time Greats Who Made a Foolish Error That Cost Their Teams a Huge Playoff Game.” All three of the players listed above played in many more critical gam...

GAME 3, HEAT WIN AN UGLY ONE
Posted on 18 Jun 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
Leave it to a team put together by Pat Riley to win an NBA Finals game while shooting less than 38% as a team. The only starter to shoot at least 50% was Shane Battier(2-2, both 3ptrs). Yes, Game 3 was a pretty ugly affair, and these are two of the premier offensive teams in the league. However, the speed and athleticism that is so prevalent on these rosters also means that they can close...

Heat Seize Control by Pounding OKC Inside
Posted on 18 Jun 2012 by Steven Jones.
The game-ending image was as gut-wrenching as it was recognizable: Dwyane Wade crouched at the free throw line, calmly draining two shots to close out the team in blue, whose faces comprised a collective photo essay titled “Heartbreakingly Close.” Game 3 of the 2012 NBA Finals resembled Games 3 and 5 of the 2006 Finals in ways both superficial, as noted above, and more deeply signif...

NBA’s All-Time Best, Plus Teo
Posted on 16 Jun 2012 by Steven Keys.
With the word “legacy” being tossed about in these NBA Finals like it’s the only reason for living, I got to thinking of those players who set the legacy-bar in the pro game. Those memorables who’ve became the standard by which every aspiring superstar will eventually come to be measured. Aspirants in these Finals would be the reigning MVP LeBron James, ring-holder Dwyane Wade and their...

MIAMI PLAYS JUST WELL ENOUGH
Posted on 15 Jun 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
The Heat blitzed the Thunder at the beginning of Game 2 and never looked back. Well, they never trailed, but they certainly noticed upon checking in their rearview mirror that OKC was closing fast. Miami led by as much as 17 on a couple of occasions and were able to hold on 100-96, sending the series to South Beach tied 1-1. The first quarter was the only quarter in which the Heat outscored...
