Winderman’s view: Worst loss of the season? Against the remnants of the Grizzlies, yet

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 25, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, Miami Heat Blog, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI – Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 105-96 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies: – The Terry Rozier acquisition was an interesting move. – But also an ancillary move. – It still does not address getting Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo on the same page. – Unless those three play effectively and efficiently, this doesn’t go anywhere. – So say all you want about the Heat having four 20-point scorers. – It still doesn’t mean they can score. – Because they can’t. – This time it was 42 points at halftime. – Forty. Two. – 4. 2. – Even more than Rozier, what...

Terry Rozier’s debut just another lost night for Heat as skid hits four in 105-96 failure vs. Grizzlies

MIAMI – The Miami Heat did not look Wednesday night like a team that needed a trade to find its footing in the Eastern Conference playoff race. It looked like a team that needed three or four. Even with Terry Rozier making his debut after being acquired Tuesday from the Charlotte Hornets for Kyle Lowry and a first-round pick, the Heat continued to have the look of a team stuck in midseason doldrums. Against an injury ravaged Memphis Grizzlies roster that arguably had just one NBA-level starter available, the Heat fell 105-96 at Kaseya Center to extend their losing streak to four. The Heat...

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Norchad Omier scored a season-high 33 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, leading Miami past Notre Dame 73-61 on Wednesday night.

Notre Dame took its final lead at 52-49 on a 3-pointer by J.R....

Broward needs a new 911 center, leaders agree. But where should it be built?

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 24, 2024. Posted in Crime and Public Safety, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Local News, News.

Broward taxpayers are likely to fund a new facility to house the county’s 911 dispatch center. But finding the right location, in part, could hinge on who would retain oversight of the services. Sheriff Gregory Tony appealed to county commissioners Tuesday with his proposal for a seven-story parking garage, a four-story, 62,750-square-foot building housing a 911 call center and an 11,800-square-foot, on-site day care for up to 100 children of Sheriff’s Office employees. About 85% of the employees are women, Tony said. He wants the new complex to be built alongside the sheriff’s headquarters...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 23, 2024. Posted in Crime and Public Safety, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News.

A targeted shooting in Plantation on Saturday night unfolded outside of a Best Buy, the bullets flying in the parking lot and into the store — killing a 17-year-old boy and injuring three others, including uninvolved bystanders. The victim who died was identified by his father as Terrance Farrington Jr., called “TJ” by friends and family. He was in 11th grade at Youth Under Construction Youth Center, a private K-12 school for at-risk youth in Pompano Beach. Farrington Jr. and three others walked out of the store at 12301 W. Sunrise Blvd. shortly after 8 p.m. and were met in the parking lot...

Winderman’s view: Time for the next Heat thing after Jovic?

ORLANDO — Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 105-87 loss to the Orlando Magic: – In a meritocracy, what now with Nikola Jovic? – Sunday was the 10th consecutive start. – With diminishing returns. – Yes, more size than Caleb Martin or Haywood Highsmith at the four. – But also with zero attention from opposing defenses. – For some teams, the reasoning would be as simple as allowing for growing pains. – But this is not a lottery team. – Or a team in the midst of a long-term plan. – This is a win-now team. – Amid a closing Jimmy Butler window. – Developmental...

Another crash and burn for Heat offense, losing streak at three after falling 105-87 in Orlando

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 22, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

ORLANDO – The Miami Heat’s offense has fallen, and it can’t get up. Unable to either control or shoot the ball, Erik Spoelstra’s team fell to its third consecutive loss Sunday night, this time a 105-87 setback at the hands of the Orlando Magic at Kia Center. “It definitely looks bad, it feels bad, but we’ve got to get through it,” guard Tyler Herro said. Shooting .375 from the field and committing 18 turnovers, the Heat continued their slide to the bottom of the league in offensive efficiency, with a season low in points and field goals. Not only has the shift into the starting lineup of...

Leading DeSantis supporters in Florida quickly shift to Trump as governor ends presidential bid

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 22, 2024. Posted in Election, Florida News, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Local News, National News, National Politics, News, Politics, Ron DeSantis.

Outspoken Florida supporters of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ failed presidential campaign mourned his decision, announced Sunday, to drop out. Many quickly endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination. “I’m proud of the work that he did,” said state Rep. Chip LaMarca, the only Republican elected official in a partisan office in Broward County. “As he said, there’s not necessarily a path forward for him, so I think he’s doing the right thing.” “To be honest, I’m disappointed,” said Joe Budd, the elected Republican state committeeman from Palm Beach County. Both were...

Jury convicts South Florida doctor of illegally prescribing pain pills for cash

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 19, 2024. Posted in Crime and Public Safety, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News.

A South Florida pain management doctor was convicted at trial for illegally prescribing pain pills to most patients at his clinic without any legitimate medical basis and sometimes without examining them at all, prosecutors said Thursday. Osmin Morales, 72, of Weston, is licensed in Florida as a medical doctor who is authorized to prescribe controlled substances at his clinic in Miami-Dade County and has been practicing since 1997, state Department of Health records show. The jury found him guilty on Jan. 12 after a seven-day trial of conspiracy to unlawfully dispense and distribute...

Winderman’s view: Opening chemistry closing in on Heat? Loss raises questions

TORONTO – Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 121-97 loss to the Toronto Raptors: – Instead of these past two games with Jimmy Butler’s return answering questions, it only seems to have furthered the issue of Butler, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro together. – The start on Monday night in Brooklyn was awful. – This one was awful-er. – Butler passive, Herro launching and Adebayo trying to find a middle ground has merely provided deficits. – That’s not to say that it can’t work. – It’s just not at the moment. – At least at the outset. – It’s not an indictment on any of...
