We will win one of these eventually. It probably won’t be Tuesday night, when the Miami Heat have a 4.8 percent chance to get in the top 4 of the 2019 NBA Draft — and a 1 percent chance of the top pick, which could mean Duke forward Zion Williamson. But we’re trying anyway. We […]
The Miami Heat, as currently constituted, are nowhere near the NBA’s Conference Finals. They weren’t as good as any of the bottom four teams in the East’s playoff bracket — and none of those teams, after Victor Oladipo was injured for Indiana, were all that good. But, at the very least, there is some validation […]
During the battles of the Big 3 era, Erik Spoelstra tended to trade platitudes with other coaches, particularly during the playoffs. He didn’t trade many with Frank Vogel. Even though they came from similar backgrounds — the video room — there was little warmth. Talk to former Heat players and they’ll tell you that Spoelstra […]
Josh Rosen isn’t on the field yet. Neither is Ryan Fitzpatrick. That will happen Monday, for the first official day of OTAs, when two quarterbacks 15 years apart compete for a job that should go to Rosen, unless he’s awful. Still, new coach Brian Flores — in typical Patriots style — isn’t giving anything away […]
It’s been said that the Dolphins don’t have a right tackle. It’s still not clear they have a right tackle. But they do have someone to stand there in a uniform. Miami added Jordan Mills to the offensive line mix, taking the veteran off the Buffalo Bills’ scrap heap. In his favor: He has played […]
It appeared the Miami Heat had escaped a bit of a crisis. Short on assistant coaches with real playing experience who connect in that way with their current players, the Heat appeared to be keeping Juwan Howard through at least this offseason. About a month ago, our Greg Sylvander wrote this piece about Howard’s importance […]
The Miami Heat had one of their more mediocre seasons in the past quarter-century. But, in the eyes of some fans, they’ve never looked better. By any measure, the Vice jerseys were a huge hit from the start, even though the Heat could never seem to win in them. The personnel department is going through […]
One of the remarkable things about the late-career Pat Riley story is that he keeps getting asked for his advice about other franchises — even as he’s uncharacteristically struggling to fix his own. First, there was all that Los Angeles Lakers chatter, following the resignation of Riley favorite Magic Johnson — and reports that owner […]
There has been a certain clarity and coherence to the Miami Dolphins’ offseason that was not the norm during the tenure of deposed chief Mike Tannenbaum or other general managers and team presidents. Let high-priced older players go. Don’t chase any in free agency. Build through the draft and take a shot on some fliers […]
There will be a 30 for 30 someday — and maybe a book, if I can find all my notes — but in the meantime, the story of the formation of the Big 3 Miami Heat continues to take shape. There’s long been a question of whether Dwyane Wade or Pat Riley was more responsible […]
