CORAL GABLES — Seven months after concluding the most successful season in program history, the Hurricanes returned to the Watsco Center court and opened the 2023-24 season with a bang. Junior Wooga Poplar paced Miami with 23 points in a season-opening, 101-60 victory over the New Jersey Institute of Technology Monday night. “I thought that was a very good opening night for us,” UM coach Jim Larrañaga said.”A lot of guys played. A lot of guys played well. … We shared the ball very well. We ended up with 23 assists, and we scored the ball from three, from two, in fast breaks. So it was a...

CHICAGO — Connor Bedard scored in the second period and Philipp Kurashev had a goal and two assists, helping the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Florida Panthers 5-2 on Saturday night. Nick Foligno, Nikita Zaitsev and Taylor Hall scored in the first for Chicago, which was coming off an ugly 8-1 loss at Arizona on Monday. Petr Mrazek made 38 saves. It was the first goal of the season for Zaitsev and Taylor Hall, who was activated from injured reserve after being sidelined by a left shoulder injury. Hall, the first overall pick in the 2010 draft, was acquired in a June trade with Boston. Chicago...

Winderman’s view: A lineup change, Spoelstra dishes on McDaniel getup, and, oh, a win

Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 121-114 victory over the Washington Wizards: – On a night of bells and whistles, the goal was singular. – A “W”. – Yes, the court was red – very, very red – for the Heat’s inaugural In-Season Tournament game. – And, yes, the City Edition jerseys said “Culture” across the chest, in case anyone wasn’t already beaten over the head with the concept during last season’s playoff run. – But entering 1-4, this wasn’t about fashion statements or haute couture. – It was about slowly removing stench. – From a start to the season that...

Forget the bells and whistles, Heat get needed victory over Wizards

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 4, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI – This wasn’t about pushing the lead into double figures in the second period or up to 22 in the third or 25 in the fourth. This was about sustaining at least enough to not have to sweat out the final ticks. Something the Miami Heat couldn’t do in the Wednesday night loss to the Brooklyn Nets that dropped them to 1-4. Something they barely did on opening night against the Detroit Pistons, in their only previous win. So even with the trappings of the game counting as part of the NBA’s first-ever In-Season Tournament, and even with the Heat playing in their latest City Edition...

The Luis Suarez to Inter Miami talks are heating up and the Uruguayan star forward could sign as early as December. On Wednesday, Spanish newspaper El Pais, which has covered Suarez closely since his days with FC Barcelona, reported that a deal reuniting Suarez with his former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba is in the works and could be finalized before the year’s end. Suarez, 36, said in a previous interview that Inter Miami officials contacted Brazilian club Gremio, where he currently plays, in July, around the time Messi, Busquets and Alba signed, but no...

UF’s top tackler Shemar James has season-ending knee surgery

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 2, 2023. Posted in College Sports, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

GAINESVILLE — Florida football’s struggling defense will be without leading tackler Shemar James for the rest of the season after season-ending knee surgery. Speaking Wednesday as UF (5-3, 3-2 SEC) prepares to Saturday’s visit from Arkansas (2-6, 0-5), Coach Billy Napier said James needed to address an issue involving his left knee dating to high school and injured during last weekend’s Georgia loss. The 6-foot-1, 230-pound sophomore aggravated his knee during pregame warmups on a freshly sodded field at Jacksonville’s EverBank Stadium. James applied a brace, tested his knee and ultimately...

Winderman’s view: Tyler Herro sizzles, but too much early fizzle for Heat vs. Bucks

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 31, 2023. 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 Monday night’s 122-114 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks: – This increasingly is looking like a season of Herro ball. – Or at least least a regular season of that. – Or at least the start of a regular season of that. – On the nights when Tyler Herro is efficient, the boost is tangible for the Heat. – As was the case on Monday night. – At other times, when the shots are forced, it becomes an entire team out of sync. – Apparent already is that Jimmy Butler is easing his way into the season. – Now Bam Adebayo is ailing. – And it’s not as if this has the...

Heat (except Herro) fall flat without Adebayo in 122-114 loss in Milwaukee

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 31, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MILWAUKEE — No, not a night to take stock of the balance of power between the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks. Not with Bam Adebayo out of the Heat mix. And not with Jimmy Butler still warming his way into the regular season. So a night after being humiliated on their home court by the Atlanta Hawks, and a night when they got Khris Middleton back in their mix after a day off, the Bucks pushed past the Adebayo-less Heat 122-114 Monday night at Fiserv Forum. While this hardly was anything close to avenging last season’s 4-1 opening-round outster by the Heat, a series outcome that led to...

Florida Panthers blow early 2-0 lead, fall to Boston Bruins in overtime

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 31, 2023. Posted in Florida Panthers, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, NHL, Sports.

By JIMMY GOLEN BOSTON — The Boston Bruins are off to another hot start, and they weren’t about to let the Florida Panthers put an end to it just yet. “It was an important win, especially after last year,” said forward Pavel Zacha, who scored with 84 seconds left in overtime to lead the Bruins to a 3-2 win over the team that ended last year’s record-setting regular season with a first-round playoff elimination. “This game meant a little bit more. … You just want to beat teams like this, especially after the playoffs. And we’re happy that we won.” Brad Marchand and Charlie McAvoy also scored...
