Miami Heat

May 3, 2012 – Dan Favale When playing the Miami Heat, it’s better to be lucky, than good. The Heat enter tonight’s game having won their first two playoff games of the year by a combined 43 points, seemingly portraying a formidable opponent like the New York Knicks, as a mere stepping stone to a [...]

May 3, 2012 – R.S. De France Ahead 2-0 in their first round playoff series, the Los Angeles Lakers have eaten the Denver Nuggets for dinner in their first two games. But, is that good for the Lakers in the long run? Can the Nuggets make it a series when it shifts to Denver? In [...]

April 13, 2012 – Griffin Gotta Before we get to the weekend, a quick word on the Miami Heat and the “statement game.” Clearly, last night’s inability to overpower the Chicago Bulls’ bench unit is not going to look good on the resume, seeing as how they may need to defeat these Bulls — with [...]

The Bulls defeated the Heat 96-86 in an overtime thriller, sans the overtime period. The game had playoff implications, in more ways than one, but it was [...]

April 12, 2012 – Dan Favale The NBA lockout sucked, and so have the many ramifications of its existence, but there is a silver lining to be found between the greed, blatant agendas and absence of amicable compromise.
