Miami Herald: Miami Heat Check

  • Pace and prediction

    Keep hearing talk about the Heat being able to let loose offensively in this series against the Mavericks because their defense isn't as good as that of the Bulls or Celtics.

    Well, I don't subscribe to the theory that this will be an up-and-down series. Now, I understand the idea that [...]
