There’s this perception that things comes easy for the Miami Heat, because of the historic coup of 2010. That’s not really true, though. Alonzo Mourning’s kidney disease, right as Pat Riley had given him an enhanced supporting cast. Chris Bosh’s blood clots, on the very day Riley traded for Goran Dragic for pick-and-pop perfection. And, […]
It took the length of a pregnancy term. It took lots of lists — most of which were wrong early — about where Jimmy Butler wanted to play. It took Butler getting traded to Philadelphia, away from Tom Thibodeau. It took a remarkable farewell season from his buddy Dwyane Wade that impressed Butler mightily. It […]
The tales all run together now, especially those about anything prior to 2010, which is all anyone still seems to vividly remember. But, back in 2003, before he pulled off the greatest coup in free agent history, the one that every other franchise has spent the past decade trying to replicate, Pat Riley pulled one […]
When is news not news? When we’ve been saying it for months. Jimmy Butler has had the Miami Heat first on his list since roughly September, when we told you that, and others weren’t including them in his final four. It didn’t happen then, but it wasn’t because he didn’t want it to. It was […]
We don’t watch well. The Miami teams lose every time we hold a watch party. But maybe we play better. Five Reasons Sports and Miami Heat Beat each entered teams in the 2019 Miami Heat media challenge today at AmericanAirlines Arena. We had enough players — 14 — that we sacrificed David Friedman right after […]
Something to liven up your slow sports time. Nothing gets Miami Heat fans more excited — other than an Udonis Haslem angry Instagram post — than a good transaction rumor. Especially one that involves Jimmy Butler. You remember October and November? It was Butler all the time, and we played into that — after all, […]
Having a good night’s sleep is crucial for any athlete, which is why it’s fitting that the Miami Dolphins partnered with Ashley HomeStore to host their third annual Hope to Dream sleepover. There, they surprised 100 underprivileged with kids with brand new beds that they’ll be getting the best possible sleep with for years to […]
OK, that’s not the word he would use. But this is a family website. Five Reasons and Miami favorite Udonis Haslem posted on Instagram, to let people know what he thinks of them telling him he shouldn’t play anymore. He might tell you something different in person. View this post on Instagram I've never […]
Alphonse Sidney (@Alf954) and I were at American Airlines Arena for the Miami Heat’s 2019 draft, and stuck around until past 1 a.m. to tape a couple of podcasts and hear from first-round pick Tyler Herro (by conference call) and Heat president Pat Riley. Here are some of the highlights, tweet by tweet: The Miami […]
Sekou. KPJ. Bol Bol. Three high upside players, which the Miami Heat need. Even Brandon Clarke, the so-called safest pick. Plenty of players thought to be Heat options were available at No. 13. Pat Riley, however, went back to his alma matter, for a player — swingman Tyler Herro — who was projected in the […]
