MIAMI GARDENS — What this could have been. That was the thought on the approach to Hard Rock, where nary a brake was necessary on the Turnpike ride, off the ramp, into the finally-promising future of what was once the signature franchise in South Florida. What this could have been, if not for the global […]
Fight of the Month Power Rankings: October What makes for a great fight? It’s much more complex than having two strikers go at it. There has to be a certain amount of tension that the fight emanates. The battle scars and aesthetic of a fighter going through war makes it all the better. If […]
Everyone always is asking for moments, the behind the scenes stuff that made the Big Three era of Miami Heat basketball so unique, so special, so surreal, a spectacle never to be repeated in any sport at any level. Most memories are hazy now, more than six years out, with all gone from the Heat […]
There aren’t many speakers in sports over the past half-century who can rival Pat Riley in eloquence, especially when he has a mission statement to share and some time to prepare. So it was odd, and a little alarming, at the conclusion of the disappointing 2018-19 season when — on his heels after two years […]
You could say that, as strange as these circumstances are, they have actually created the purest form of basketball. In the controlled environment of the NBA Bubble, players have minimal distractions other than the lure of cheap beer-shotgunning contests, Call of Duty confrontations and hopelessly broken golf swings. There are no families around to ask […]
The Miami Heat, already likely without Goran Dragic (ankle) and Jimmy Butler (foot) for Saturday’s game against the hot Phoenix Suns, will be without Kendrick Nunn for longer. Nunn left the NBA’s Bubble on Friday to attend to a personal issue, according to multiple sources. UPDATE: He is expected to return this weekend, to begin […]

Lakers' Dion Waiters believes his shot will start falling soon https://t.co/ULFxJhwf1y — Brad Turner (@BA_Turner) August 5, 2020 But in these Bubble-licious times, much is different than we anticipated. We should be used to odd circumstances by now — after all, […]
Just two days ago, coach Erik Spoelstra spoke to the media about the excitement of practicing resuming with a nearly full roster prior to the Miami Heat reporting to Orlando for the season re-start on July 9th. Now the practices will wait until they get to the protective bubble…and once the team self-quarantines. Already without […]
We know — next to — nothing. Sure, we know when the NBA is planning to return: July 31st in a bubble in Orlando’s Wide World of Sports complex. And we know that they hope all players report a couple of weeks earlier for training camp. And yes, we know that there are supposed to […]
If it is true that misery loves company, it is also accurate that the truly miserable don’t when optimism is abundant anywhere. This is a trait particularly inherent in sports fan populations, with some trying to extinguish hope wherever it may appear. In South Florida, they are the Dolphins Downers. You probably know one. Or […]
