Kudos are absolutely in order for the Miami Dolphins. From dead team walking at 1-6, have played themselves into the playoff hunt, at least mathematically, at 6-7. With Sunday’s 34-10 whooping of the oh-so-woeful New York Jets, the resurgent Fins have won four in a row and five of their past six. Notably, they rushed ...

Mamma mia; the Kings mowed down the Heat in one of their two worst losses of the season. The latter sullied schemes, went up as much as 28 digits, and former Heatle Precious Achiuwa took revenge for getting booted a second time by the club.  Few things will humble and disturb coach Erik Spoelstra like ...

Another euphoric championship celebration is underway in Broward County as Messi and Inter Miami join South Florida’s other four pro teams with a league championship. South Florida joins New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington D.C. as the only markets with titles in the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and MLS. Inter Miami follows on the ...

The Heat’s comeback effort in Dallas caved in as the Mavericks answered every run, completing the season series 1-1. The latter's coach, Jason Kidd, said it would be a “man’s game” 20 minutes before tip-off, and he wasn’t wrong: it was a rebounding battle the visitors lost in trenches and they couldn't buy baskets from ...

It doesn’t matter who is in charge; some organizations will never develop class. Character is also measured when times are toughest: the Los Angeles Clippers are failing both tests.  They cut bait with their best player in franchise history, Chris Paul, 21 games into the season of his retirement tour. They are even alleged to ...

The Heat shamed the Clippers, tying a franchise record in made 3-pointers (24) and setting a new season high in blocked shots (10). It was their fifth time scoring at least 140 points this season, yet they got sloppy at the end because of poor attention to detail and thinking the Clippers gave up.  Miami ...

The Miami Dolphins may wear aqua-and-orange, but they are fool’s gold to their fans. Here they go again making a show of late-season contention. They’ve won three in a row and four of their past five to reach the fringe of the wild-card race. The network keeps showing them in the graphic of playoff hopefuls, ...

Devin Haney’s new status as the WBO welterweight champ following his surgical takedown of Brian Norman Jr. has set up big plans for 2026. His career was on the line as allegations of being a “shot fighter” surrounded him like flies around a carcass, but he took on the hardest bout available and is on ...

The Heat couldn’t punch the gas until it was too late and got put down by the first-seeded Pistons, who were on the second night of a back-to-back. They got to their hotel at 4 AM Saturday and still unloaded the most digits (76) in the lane that Miami had surrendered all season, and it ...

Plans for Tyler Herro and Norman Powell starting together were conceived ages ago, and it finally got its first real test run in Emirates Cup play as the Heat squeaked by the Bucks for their sixth straight win. The visitors sans Giannis Antetokounmpo torched the small-ball lineup, but were contained to 37.9% shooting late. “We ...

The Canes are going to need help to get into the College Football Playoffs. While that is a load of crap, it is the reality of the situation. So, over this holiday weekend, sit back, relax, and know who to cheer for (or against). The At-Large Route In order for Miami to make it as ...

The Canes have been here before, most recently in 2000. They beat FSU, but FSU went to the title game that year. Notre Dame is also sympathetic. In 1993, Notre Dame beat FSU, but FSU was given the shot at undefeated Nebraska in a de facto National Title game, which they won. The reaction to ...

Tyler Herro was rusty for a quarter but picked up where he left off from last season as a gunslinger. He said postgame that he could have easily waited two more weeks to come back, but that Monday was circled on the calendar. He wants to come into the starting five and let those guys ...

A little closer to comfort for their liking, but the Heat put down the Mavericks in Tyler Herro’s return, winning their fifth in a row and giving top overall pick Cooper Flagg a warm welcome to the league by holding him to 12 points on 35.7% shooting. Their half-court offense was neutralized, but they made ...

In an era of college basketball teams reloading through the transfer portal and changing both their identity and postseason prospects year after year, it is refreshing to see that the player currently leading the Florida Atlantic Owls in every major statistical category is one who was recruited and developed. Sophomore guard Devin Vanterpool leads the ...

The Heat survived the 76ers, thanks to its strong bench play, locking up the glass and four players scoring between 18 and 32 digits, closing out their two-game road trip undefeated. They sped away each time their hosts got within striking distance and have now won eight of their last 10.  With Tyler Herro out ...
