Jimmy Butler seems to be living his best life of late. He got paid this offseason, and traded to the city where he wanted to play. He is a new father — of a baby girl. And he with a team and teammates he clearly likes. When you are no longer freezing in Philadelphia or […]
This was closer to the perceived plan prior to the season. Lose, but with dignity. Fall, but with pride. Get closer to franchise changing quarterback Tua Tagliovailoa, but stay reasonably close on the scoreboard. After an abominable start to the 2019-20, Brian Flores and his increasingly well-organized Miami Dolphins have been doing that lately. They […]
We knew this one was coming. The last coaching staff couldn’t figure out how to use Kenyan Drake. And this one never seemed especially interested in cracking that code either — in a contract season. So Drake, who could rip off long runs but frustrated coaches in other areas, has been traded to the Arizona […]
Maybe he just needed another seven years. Or another month? Either way, this is the most Miami Dolphins thing ever. They have spent 19 years looking for Dan Marino’s replacement, so much so that executives and coaches accepted seven seasons of slightly-above-mediocrity from Ryan Tannehill, making excuse after excuse for his inconsistency, simply because he […]
Pat Riley, Erik Spoelstra and the Miami Heat may win another championship together someday. But they will never accomplish anything quite like this. Since Five Reasons Sports Network was born in 2018, we had 12 watch parties prior to Saturday evening. One didn’t count for our record — it was FC Barcelona against Real Madrid, […]
Jimmy Butler’s official Miami Heat debut is still on hold. Butler, who missed the season opener for undisclosed personal reasons — though the team hinted it was the birth of a child — was still in the hospital with the child and mother Friday and Erik Spoelstra said he probably won’t make the Heat’s road […]
You’ll have to get used to Kendrick Nunn. Maybe we’ve been hyping the wrong rookie. Well, not entirely. Tyler Herro is 19. He will have much better nights than he did in Wednesday’s season opening 120-101 win for the Miami Heat against the Memphis Grizzlies, when he was often squeezed off his spots and tried […]
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 […]
