Blog Title: Miami Heat Wired

The Sunday Spotlight: Week 2

So, it has been a while since the last spotlight, but hey, I have been busy as hell! And lazy! And the combination of those two problems is a force to be reckoned with. Anyhow, I have a collection of interesting reads for you today, including a mathematical formula that says D-Wade is the next read more..

A Case for Miami

The current talk is of Dwayne Wade’s chances of taking the MVP crown late from LeBron James, and while that would be nice, both players have honestly played at the same high level all year long, and though he does have better players around him, LeBron’s Cavs have the better record. Let’s be honest, whoever read more..

East vs. West (and a Few Picks Thrown in too)

So here are my arguments for the East, and problems with other’s arguments against the East. First the problems, as there really is only one, and that is injuries. This year it seems like every elite West team can claim injuries at every major position and yet still win so many games. Here’s my problem read more..

O’Neal Trade

So we’ve all heard the rumors by now I’m sure, Heat President Pat Riley has been shopping Marion and top on the list is a probable straight trade (or Marion and one other player possibly Marcus Banks to shunt off his contract), for Jermaine O’Neal. I’ve heard all sorts of reactions to this news, but read more..

The Sunday Spotlight: Week 1

The Sunday Spotlight is a new little feature that I am trying out to shed more light on bloggers writing about the Miami Heat. I just want to give some link love to people out there fighting the good fight. This week, we are featuring some great articles about the draft and exactly who Michael read more..

Parity

Considering the five year run the West had post Jordan-Era with San Antonio book ending the Lakers Three-Peat, I’d be hard pressed to argue that the East has not only caught up with the West, but might even have surpassed it. For one, the NBA is much like politics, mostly due to the Draft Lottery read more..

2008 Draft Predictions, sort of…

Derrick Rose. Derrick Rose? Derrick Rose! All I hear about these days is Derrick Rose. Sure Michael Beasley is one of the greatest talents we’ve seen in quite a while, but questions of his value to either of the top two picks in the Bulls and Heat respectively have pretty much pushed him out of read more..

Boston 2008 Champs! (also: what the hell happened to the West?)

Alright a little back story here, both my brother and I live in Boston (not withstanding his recent move to Dallas), and our father landed here back in the Forties as his first stop in America from Italy. This is why we cheer for both the Red Sox and the Celtics, not the Patriots though, read more..

Bull’s Woes Surprising?

I’m finding it hard to believe that anybody is finding the Bulls start surprising. What people should be surprised is that it took this many years for the flaw in the Bulls system to show itself so completely. Their defense, to date, is always one of the stingiest in the league. Though some would consider read more..

Riley Speaks and HeatNation Listens

When the Federal Reserve Chairman speaks, the stock markets usually calms down. And so when Pat Riley speaks, we the Heat fans also calm down. Besides receiving the good news that he will be staying, at least for the next few years, as the Heat’s head coach, he also had quite a bit to add read more..
