Amid the Monday night 2007-08 Boston Celtics reunion with former centerpiece of the team and now-TNT-analyst Kevin Garnett in his segment Area 21, an ostracized Ray Allen was ready to land the last punch after all was said and done.

The Miami Heat had one of the most impressive comeback stories in NBA history this season, going from a decadent 11-30 start to an eye-popping 30-11 in the second half, missing the playoffs only by a tiebreaker rule to the Chicago Bulls. A team that was believed to be destined to tank after the departures […]

Over the years, Pat Riley has established himself as one of the best front office executives in the NBA. From adding players to his team’s roster, and building a culture within the organization, the Miami Heat president is considered a master of it. With his squad missing out on the playoffs this year, many are already expecting him […]

When the Miami Heat brought Dion Waiters to their fold last summer, many did not see it as a major signing for them. However, the 25-year-old Syracuse product turned out to be a huge boost for the team with his strong play this season. Waiters cited his improved conditioning as the main reason for his rise in Miami. […]

The Miami Heat were one of the best stories in the NBA this season. After only winning 11 of their first 41 games, the South Beach team was able to turn their fortunes around, only missing the playoffs by virtue of a tiebreaker. They even had a chance to make a playoff appearance until the […]

The sudden connection between Goran Dragic, Dion Waiters and James Johnson was one of the main reasons the Miami Heat came back from the dead mid-season, after being buried as the second-worst team in the East upon an 11-30 start to the season. Once the trio started clicking, Miami went on a furious 30-11 run […]

During the Miami Heat‘s “Big Three” era of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh, the team went on to make four straight finals appearances. In their first two trips together, the Chicago Bulls were one of their victims as they eliminated them in back-to-back seasons, despite being led by a peak-form Derrick Rose. Now with the […]

Back in 2010, the Miami Heat made a lot of noise in the offseason when they brought in LeBron James and Chris Bosh to their fold and formed their “Big 3” along with then-franchise player, Dwyane Wade. This year may be no different as the South Beach team can once again sign two of the […]

The Miami Heat were eliminated from this year’s postseason despite a rampaging 30-11 turn-of-the-page 2017 calendar year, falling just short of an eighth seed due to a tiebreaker with the Chicago Bulls. But the team’s shortcomings haven’t been seen as a failure by the organization or the fans, but rather an admirable display of will and togetherness […]

Recovering from a slow start, the Miami Heat became one of the hottest teams in the league in the second half of the year.

Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra had a rather difficult time facing the media for one last time this season after a disappointing end of the year, having won their last three games of the season and still eliminated from the postseason his team fought tooth-and-nail to get into.

One of the best stories this season is how the Miami Heat have turned around their fortunes after a disastrous start to the campaign.

Don’t ask Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra how to stop DeMar DeRozan — because after four games against the Toronto Raptors swingman, the team clearly doesn’t have the answers. The All-Star shooting guard exploded for 38 points on Friday night, giving the Raptors a 96-94 win and a slight half-game lead over the Washington […]

Hassan Whiteside wanted to call out Jonas Valanciunas but in the process, he proved something else.

Whiteside called Valanciunas "Grammy award winning actor" for throwing his head back […]

Dwane Casey got a taste last night and he didn’t like it. The Toronto Raptors head coach led his team to a narrow two-point victory over the Miami Heat Friday night, but despite the success he doesn’t want to see the Heat much more this season. Dwane Casey, "If Miami makes it in, definitely don't […]

Goran Dragic‘s 33 points against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night didn’t come without its share of insults from local fans.

Dragic […]

Goran Dragic wasn’t overly fond of Danilo Gallinari, after the Denver Nuggets forward forced him to shoot an air ball during the third quarter of Sunday night’s game. “The Dragon” walked over to Gallinari and challenged the big man after he inadvertently bumped him on his way back on offense, adding to the embarrassment of missing […]

The New York Knicks and Miami Heat’s respective trajectories this season are showing nearly opposite trends.

With still a few months to go before the start of this year’s free agency, speculations are already emerging on where Gordon Hayward might end up should the Utah Jazz fail to re-sign him to an extension come summertime.

On Tuesday night, the Detroit Pistons hosted the Miami Heat in a hotly-contested matchup that had heavy implications on both team’s postseason chances.

A journeyman player throughout his career, James Johnson has seemed to found a home with the Miami Heat this season. Johnson is averaging career-highs in points (12.3), rebounds (4.8), assists (3.5), which all could be attributed to his increase in playing time (a career-high 26.6 minutes per game). But Johnson’s stellar play is probably also a […]

Adding to […]

After becoming the Toronto Raptors‘ all-time leading scorer last month, DeMar DeRozan crossed paths with the player who previously owned the record, Chris Bosh.

Boston Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas may be a little guy in the NBA, but he has always had big dreams. Friday night, one of his dreams was realized when he put up an electrifying performance against the Miami Heat.
