Miami Heat

The Miami Heat are not playing like a championship caliber team right now. Not at all. Except for LeBron James, that is. Miami is fresh off its second-straight loss, the first of which came against the Washington Wizards and the latter of which came against the New York Knicks. As demoralizing at the loss to [...]

The Miami Heat continue to sleep walk through their post-title hang over. Not long after handing the Washington Wizards their second win of the season, the Heat looked just as sluggish (if not more so) against a much less imposing Knicks team. At the end of the night, New York earned a 112-92 victory at [...]

A large part of me wants to believe in the Atlanta Hawks. Heck, looking at their 9-5 record, a large part of me is telling I should believe in them. But I don’t. Though Atlanta is fresh off a six game winning streak, it may have been one of the least indicative winning streaks in [...]

The Los Angeles Clippers are absolutely infuriating. Yes, infuriating. I personally spent a large chunk of the NBA offseason criticizing their roster and many of the moves they made; I simply didn’t believe they were a contender, or even a viable powerhouse for that matter. But then the season began. Los Angeles was 8-2, Chris [...]

Their record doesn’t reflect, but the Los Angeles Lakers are still an NBA powerhouse to be feared. After Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard led the Lakers to a loss at the hands of the Howard-less Orlando Magic Sunday night, Los Angeles dropped below .500 for the fourth time this season. Obviously, for a franchise with [...]

San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is currently both an NBA outlaw and, well, one helluva coach. Prior to the Spurs’ road game against the Miami Heat, Popovich made the decision to send Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, and even sharp shooter Danny Green, back to San Antonio to rest. This was a [...]

Looking at the Brooklyn Nets’ record, it’s difficult not to get excited. Brooklyn is currently 10-4 and sitting atop the Atlantic Division—they have their victory over the New York Knicks to thank for that. So why not get excited? This is the team’s first season not only in the Barclays center, but together in general. [...]

The Denver Nuggets have a problem. Strike that, the Nuggets have a bounty of problems, none more pressing, however, than their overall start to the season. After having what many deemed one of the most fruitful offseasons in the NBA, Denver currently sits at 4-6. To put that record into a more significant context, let’s [...]

The Memphis Grizzlies are good. Like really good. Like torch the Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder good. After losing to the Los Angeles Clippers on opening night, the Grizzles have won six straight games, establishing themselves as one of the NBA’s most formidable powerhouses in the process. Four of those games were won by [...]

I’ve never been much of an advocate for Kenyon Martin, but with the Miami Heat playing the way they are, I’m all for him taking his aging talents to South Beach. And according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinal, Martin himself is more than amenable to such a marriage: For what it’s worth, [...]
