My guess is Miami Heat fans want to forget Game 3 and move foward, quickly. And for good reason, as the Spurs laid out a spanking of epic proportions on the Heat. The Spurs offense was more than effective inside and outside, they rebounded the ball, defended beautifully, and were communicating on the floor in [...]

NBA head coached used to have to go through the ranks before getting a shot. That would usually entail being an assistant at some point. But when Mark Jackson skipped that portion of the program, he blazed a new trail and rewrote the rules. Jason Kidd did Jackson one better and went from active player [...]

The Miami Heat haven’t even lost the NBA Finals and already there is a call for change in South Beach.

Every year seems as if Doc Rivers is unsure as to how long he wants to coach.

LeBron James flopped against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3. Not David-Stern-is-so-going-to-fine-him flopped, but put-up-a-dud-when-the-Miami-Heat-needed-him-most flopped.

Sheesh. For a guy [...]

The San Antonio Spurs’ Game 3 victory of the Miami Heat may have came at a price. Tony Parker suffered a hamstring injury in San Antonio’s 113-77 rout of Miami, leaving the game during the third quarter. He eventually returned, but the hammy was still clearly bothering him. According to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! [...]

The Spurs put their stamp on the series at home last night. They completely obliterated the Heat sending Miami into a tailspin. They ultimately won by 36 points, but at one point were up by almost 40. It was not one of the Heat’s finest moments in the Big Three era of Lebron James. But [...]

Patrick Ewing is back in the coaching ranks. After sitting out last season as an assistant, Ewing has been hired by the Charlotte Bobcats as their lead assistant. Ewing has been an assistant for 8 years and has been dying for the opportunity to be a head coach. Seeing how the Bobcats don’t hang on [...]

Blake Griffin is one of the most exciting guys in the NBA to watch, but he’s also probably one of the most disrespected. A big guy who has the reputation as being a flopper is the kiss of death, and that may be what’s hampering Blake’s respect around the league. He routinely gets fouled harder [...]
