Sun-Sentinel: Miami Heat

• Erik Spoelstra named Coach of the Month

  Number of comments: 10
  

  The NBA release that announced Erik Spoelstra as Eastern Conference Coach of the Month merely mentioned Spoelstra’s 12-3 record for March.

  For Erik Spoelstra, the honor is a career first.

  While that certainly stands on its own in terms of accomplishment (albeit percentage points below the [...]

• ASK IRA: Where does Dorell’s value stand?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: Ira, could the troubles with Dorell be a bit of a blessing in disguise for the Heat? Maybe this brings down his value to other teams and gives us a better chance of re-signing him. After all, I think all of this is getting blown out of proportion, anyway. The [...]

• Heat 98, Pistons 81

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Observations from Wednesday’s 98-81 victory over the Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills:

  With Heat center Jermaine O’Neal sidelined for the second consecutive game, and with Detroit undersized, Heat forward Michael Beasley, at 6-9 1/2, was the tallest player on the court at the outset. Beasley was removed in the midst [...]

• ASK IRA: What if Heat doesn’t get Raptors’ pick?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: With the Raptors reeling, do you think the possible loss of a first-round pick will impact the Heat’s offseason at all? I think having two first-round picks was the most under-rated source of optimism for the coming years, given that we have failed so miserably at finding cheap production [...]

  Yes, you read the headline right.

  But, first a word from our competition:

  Milwaukee has a closing schedule that includes Cleveland, Charlotte, Chicago, Phoenix, Atlanta and two games against Boston. Charlotte has a closing schedule that includes Milwaukee, Atlanta and Chicago twice, plus road games at Houston and New Orleans. Toronto has a closing [...]

• ASK IRA: Has Dorell run out of chances?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: A DUI and a Twitter controversy? It hasn’t been a banner year for Dorell. How does this compromise his impending free-agency status? — Simon.

  A: Any chance of the Heat considering any type of long-term deal is just about out the door. He’s not a bad kid, but he’s also [...]

• Another NBA Player of the Week for Wade

  Number of comments: 10
  

  I will not blog about Dorell Wright. I will not blog about Dorell Wright. I will not blog about Dorell Wright.

  Dwyane Wade took the honor for a 12th time.

  That, my friends, is self control.

  Instead, because Dorell Wright cut into Monday’s Heat coverage, this, instead, is where [...]

• ASK IRA: Should Haslem be the starter?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: I have no intention of starting a Holy War, but don’t you think that Beasley has lost his starting spot to Haslem? — Paul.

  A: No, but not for the reasons you might think. Udonis has worked so well with the second unit that Erik has no desire to mess [...]

• Heat 97, Raptors 94

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Observations from Sunday’s 97-94 victory over the Raptors at AmericanAirlines Arena:

  All hail U.D. We’re talking 10 of 11 from the field by Haslem to spark the 15-2 run that put the Heat up 91-89. It was all Udonis all the time. No, no Michael Beasley debate on this night. Just thanks that [...]

• ASK IRA: Does Heat have scheduling edge on Bucks?

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Q: I just took a look at the remaining games for the Heat and the Bucks and I will bet you One Million Dollars that the Heat finishes ahead of the Bucks. If anyone beats out the Heat for the No. 5 spot it will be Charlotte. — Bill.

  A: I agree, [...]
