NEW YORK — Observations and other notes of interest from Monday night’s 116-95 loss to the New York Knicks: – It was a typical night from a Heat perspective. – Another loss, with the losing streak now at eight. – Another loss to the Knicks, the six loss to New York in the team’s past seven meetings. – Another game of mix-and-matchup lineups, when nothing mixed well or matched up. – From a Madison Square Garden perspective, however, not typical. – With comedian and actor Tracy Morgan wheeled off the court in a wheelchair after taking ill during the third quarter.

NEW YORK – It might get worse for the Miami Heat, but it hasn’t ever been worse for Erik Spoelstra, with the Heat’s eighth-consecutive loss now the longest losing streak of his 17-season coaching career. How bad has it gotten with Monday night’s 116-95 loss to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden? This is the longest Heat losing streak since they went 15-67 in 2007-08. It is only the second time the New York Knicks have swept the season series in the Heat’s 37 seasons and the first time since 1992-93. And it came after blowing yet another double-digit lead, albeit this one almost...

Winderman’s view: Heat reality is an inability to sustain, as again shows in loss in Memphis

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on March 16, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, Miami Heat Blog, NBA, Sports.

Observations and other notes of interest from Saturday night’s 125-91 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies: – The lesson of recent weeks and even games such as Saturday is this: The Heat are good enough to compete for stretches against elite competition. – And then reality hits home. – As it did in Saturday night’s seventh consecutive loss. – For stretches earlier this season, there at least were the occasional nights when the Heat had the best player on the court. – Whether it was Tyler Herro or Bam Adebayo. – Now those two routinely stand second (or worse) to an opposing player (or two or...

Heat skid now at seven after 125-91 no-show vs. Grizzlies, even with Morant out

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on March 16, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

Not good enough. Again. For the seventh consecutive game. Through all the lineup changes (including yet another one) and the alternating between falling behind early or collapsing late, defeat has become a constant for the Miami Heat, including Saturday night’s 125-91 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum, their most lopsided road loss of the season. The losing streak now seven and the record 29-38, the Heat find themselves nine games below .500 for the first time since the 2016-17 season. As in before Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro arrived. As in before Jimmy Butler was added (and then...

Winderman’s view: Heat put big lineup on hold, with Ware in reserve in loss to Celtics

MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 103-91 loss to the Boston Celtics: – Erik Spoelstra offered the breadcrumbs during his pregame media session. –”I think for us, we’re simplifying,” the Heat coach said. “It really does become about us. You say that a lot, and sometimes that’s a cliche in this league. We have to take care of what we’re doing. We have to get to our identity. We have to really try to impact the game on our terms.” – Identity, as in the known. – As in experimentation on hold. – So the big lineup? – Kel’el Ware back to playing off the bench. –...

Heat humbled in sixth consecutive loss by shorthanded Celtics 103-91

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on March 15, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — Against an opponent 17 1/2 games ahead in the standings, the Miami Heat gave themselves a chance Friday night. As did the Boston Celtics’ injury report. So against an opponent lacking Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis, Erik Spoelstra’s team got back to stepping up against elite competition, fighting the good fight for extended stretches, just as it had in recent games against the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves. The upshot, though, was troublingly familiar, this time a 103-91 loss that extended the losing streak to six and dropped the Heat eight...
