Thankfully, it’s almost over. The Heat’s regular season finale was a tune-up against the Atlanta Hawks’ D-Team, in which Bam Adebayo had a scoring spree on drive-bys and jumpers. The rest of the team got their licks in, and they won an inconsequential game by 26 points despite sweating a bit in the second […]
Part two of the miniseries in Toronto didn’t get ugly until the second quarter and then it was worse than a direct-to-video sequel. Brandon Ingram mercilessly sprayed jumpers, plus Collin Murray-Bowles, who finished with a perfect seven-for-seven from field, out-hustled every Heatle to extend plays and blow up sets. Bam Adebayo was so frustrated […]
The Heat knew the build was dead in 2001 when they got smacked around by the Charlotte Hornets and were sent packing early in round one. One wonders if management realizes that it should be no different this time. They were drawn and quartered in Toronto on Tuesday to start their miniseries with the […]
Caroline Dubois didn’t deliver on her promise to knock out Terri Harper, but she outclassed her and took her WBO belt, unifying the lightweight division with the WBC strap. Not much landed for either in the first round, despite Dubois trying to get on the inside of Harper’s lead foot. Dubois then raised the […]
Nothing like playing a team in the cellar to boost the numbers. It was the first meeting since Bam Adebayo’s 83-point outburst on March 10, and the Heat’s bench crew got the extra time in the tune-up win. They scored 142.1 points per 100 possessions, good enough for the 99th percentile, per Cleaning the […]
The Celtics stained Pat Riley Court with an 18-point blowout. It was like watching a cyclist try to keep up with a Ferrari, only catching up within a mile when the driver pulled over for gas. Jaylen Brown was unrestrainable as he sliced to the cup for layups and buried pull-up jumpers. The Celtics […]
There wasn’t much separation through three quarters, and the teams were desperate to climb out of Play-In Tournament territory. Aside from some relief minutes given to Kel’el Ware, the team was playing six guys while their 3-point shooting was not a factor. Then Tyler Herro was the best player on the floor in the […]
The Heat folded in Indiana, where the Pacers were on an 11-game home losing streak stretching back to Feb. 2. There was no bigger issue than the defense, which allowed the Pacers to score in the 88th percentile, per Cleaning the Glass. Keep in mind that they struggled against the team trying to lose, […]
Sebastian Fundora’s advantages in height (nine inches) and reach (11 inches) over Keith Thurman were too difficult a code to crack. The latter couldn’t get close enough, and referee Thomas Tyler stopped it before his face turned from bruised and cut to disfigured. The challenger ate a straight left hand in the opening 10 […]
The five-game losing streak ended in Cleveland in game one of the miniseries. The defense derailed one of the top attacks in the league, and they prevented the Cavaliers from having success on second opportunities. The Heat’s seven three-pointers and a few slips into the lane sustained them in the first quarter, as they […]
