The Heat nearly completed a 13-point fourth-quarter comeback, but Donovan Mitchell’s on-the-dribble 3-pointers denied the upset as the series shifts to Miami for Games 3 and 4. He had 17 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter and logged all but one of his team’s field goals late. Despite starting Davion Mitchell for […]
At practice a day before Game 2 in Cleveland, Heat captain Bam Adebayo said the team has to force the Cavaliers into tougher shots. Tyler Herro echoed those sentiments by wanting to be a more annoying pest on the ball. Bless their souls, but this team has no chance despite claims of being more […]
The Heat lost Game 1 because they were the smaller, slower, and weaker team against a machine that didn’t show up in top form. They also rolled into the match physically, mentally and emotionally spent after surviving two elimination games in the Play-In Tournament. They played well for their standards and hung around with the […]
ESPN’s Tim MacMahon attempted to apologize for besmirching reporter Grant Afseth as a “wannabe journalist” on Wednesday’s episode of the Hoop Collective podcast. Afseth is credentialed for Dallas Mavericks games, practices and pressers, and writes for his Substack page, Dallas Hoops Journal. On Feb. 7, MacMahon reported that the Mavericks’ top executive of basketball […]
The Nuggets obliterated the Trail Blazers in the paint with 88 points, recording a new season high. Nikola Jokić had a 40-point masterpiece and didn’t have to play in the fourth quarter. And five of his teammates logged double digits in scoring. After the game, Jokić said, “Maybe because we are scoring that much […]
The Nuggets cruised to their sixth consecutive win while facing the Suns minus Kevin Durant and Grayson Allen. Even with key absences to Russell Westbrook and Michael Porter Jr., this was still a tuneup game for the Nuggets. Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokić were unstoppable, but the hosts hung around for a half because they […]
The Nets’ defense made the Heat look impotent in the fourth quarter, their second-worst (net rating) of the season, after scoring nine points on 9.5% shooting. It was like a varsity squad whooping on five randoms at the park. Such a poor showing highlighted the need for reinforcements coming soon in the form of Andrew […]
Andrew Wiggins now wears #22 for the Miami Heat after requesting it. This highlights how badly the relationship ended with Jimmy Butler, who wore the same digits since 2019 until the trade on Wednesday. If Butler was concerned with his number, he should’ve handled his exit with more class. While Wiggins may not have […]
The Nuggets were missing Jamal Murray (knee), Russell Westbrook (hamstring), and Peyton Watson (sprained knee), but it was no problem for them to dispatch the touring Magic. Michael Porter Jr. went on a heater, scoring on cuts and downing his long jumper. And Nikola Jokić recorded his 24th triple-double of the season. The Nuggets […]
Jimmy Butler finally complained his way out of Miami and ruined his reputation with the help of his agent Bernie Lee. The latter is a bully who even went as far as verbally attacking the ESPN reporter, Shams Charania, to taint his credibility but failed. Perhaps Butler will feel contrition in the future for […]
