What’s happening in the sports media world tonight? Dwyane Wade told us on Twitter that he got some good news Monday. But no one could have anticipated this. Joining forces with Charles Barkley on TNT? Is everyone forgetting the way that Barkley has treated Dwyane Wade over the years, to the point that even Wade’s […]
The Miami Heat start their 2019-20 season with the most optimism in at least four years… and perhaps longer. They have a real star, a streamlined roster and an intriguing group of young players. What do some of the Five Reasons Sports Network contributors expect? Zach Buckley (@ZBuckleyNBA): This Heat team has sneaky-good upside […]
“I let the culture slip.” With those words — spoken after last season by Miami Heat president Pat Riley — you knew the next season would be different. Riley felt burned after he gave much-criticized lucrative long-term contracts to non-stars in 2016 and 2017 and then those players returned the reward by slacking on their […]
The NBA’s general managers have spoken. The annual polling of teams’ primary decision-makers was released today on NBA.com and, as usual, there are some surprises. What comes across most is how balanced the league is this season, compared to recent seasons. We’ll get to thoughts on other teams and players in a minute but, first, […]
Brian Flores clearly wants to win, even if the Miami Dolphins organization does not. And in that context, he’s gone back to Ryan Fitzpatrick as the starter at quarterback, as the Dolphins travel to Buffalo. That means Josh Rosen, after three starts and an overall 52.0 passer rating for the entire season, is back on […]
We sort of called this one. No, it wasn’t expected quite this early, but Tyler Herro joined two other newcomers — Jimmy Butler and Meyers Leonard — in Miami’s starting lineup Monday against Atlanta.

When intentions are unclear, it’s difficult to assess decisions. Take, for instance, the choice by Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores to go for two, rather than tie the game, after his team rallied to within 17-16 against the Washington Redskins with just six seconds left in regulation Sunday. And then the actual play that […]
Manny Diaz took more ownership of the Miami Hurricanes’ defense Friday night. It seemed to have an impact. Miami kept Virginia — which came in averaging more than 30 points per game — out of the end zone, winning 17-9 and getting back in the ACC Coastal mix. The defensive dominance was necessary, because it […]
While 538 is best known for its political predictions, the statistical website runs plenty of models on sports too. And it has run one on the Miami Heat and other NBA teams. Here’s the entire article, which we will explore in more detail — zeroing in on specific Heat players — in future posts here. […]
We first saw this Butler affair flourish in Chicago. That’s where Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro started posting Instagram love letters to each other, shooting and sneering together in workouts. Now, though, their affection is in full bloom. Jimmy Butler clearly likes guys who get it. Who not only can play, but play really really […]
