Winderman’s view: Ware (solely) as an Adebayo understudy it is for Heat in opening loss

ORLANDO — Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 125-121 loss to the Orlando Magic: – The previous math, the one we mostly saw in the preseason, appears to be back. – Even after a statistically dominant preseason by Kel’el Ware. – Even after coach Erik Spoelstra stressed how willing a pupil Ware has been. – In Wednesday night’s first half, either Bam Adebayo or Ware. – But neither together, with Adebayo playing 16 minutes over the first two quarters, Ware the other eight. – And so it went through the Heat’s high-energy opener. – Playing out the same way in the...

Heat come up short 125-121 to Magic in opener, despite Powell’s 28

ORLANDO – At the start, it was off to the races, 77 total points in the first quarter, 134 in the first half. In no way did this resemble anything even close to Miami Heat vs. Orlando Magic. And then Wednesday night’s season opener at Kia Center turned into something more along the lines of they are what they thought they are. With less sizzle with the shooting and more determination by the defense, the Magic outlasted the Heat 125-121, with their offensive rebounding proving to be the difference, just as it was in the Heat’s two preseason losses to Orlando. That’s not to say it wasn’t the...

With the Boston net empty, Morgan Geekie made it 3-3 with 1:31 left. But Verhaeghe broke the tie with 27 seconds to...

The suit alleges that the Coconut Grove Sailing Club and three camp counselors were negligent and failed to supervise the children, causing Catherine a lifelong disability. During a...

GATORS PODCAST: Billy Napier fired as Florida pushes to reestablish program’s prominence (Ep. 304)

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 21, 2025. Posted in College Sports, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Social, Sports.

Billy Napier was let go as the Gators turned the page on a failed four-year tenure ending with a 22-23 record and on track for a third losing season. UF is banking on longtime receivers coach Billy Gonzales to inspire a talented roster and ignite a lackluster offense during the remaining five regular-season games. All eyes, though, are on who will replace Napier at season’s end, with Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin atop everyone’s wish list. During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar weigh in on a decision everyone could see coming, how the Gators got here and what direction AD Scott...

Florida players ‘upset’ by Billy Napier’s ouster but understand inevitable decision

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 21, 2025. Posted in College Sports, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

GAINESVILLE — Sophomore linebacker Myles Graham was honed in on homecoming, leaving him unprepared when UF fired Billy Napier a day after the Gators slipped by Mississippi State Saturday in the Swamp. “I honestly wasn’t thinking about that,” he said Monday. “I was just focused on the game plan. I was focused on getting a win, and we got that done.” A narrow 23-21 victory against a program with 15 straight SEC losses wasn’t enough to save Napier and avoid the inevitable. Picked to finish sixth in the SEC and a potential dark horse for a CFP bid, the Gators (3-4, 2-2 SEC) now aim to avoid the...

Billy Napier’s Gators slip by Mississippi State in possibly his final game at Swamp

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on October 19, 2025. Posted in College Sports, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

GAINESVILLE — Florida coach Billy Napier sprinted toward the south end-zone tunnel at the Swamp, showered by boos rather than basking in the afterglow of a hard-earned victory. Moments earlier, the Gators sang the school’s alma mater in the stadium’s northeast corner to celebrate a dramatic 23-21 homecoming win against Mississippi State. With the Bulldogs in field-goal range, nose tackle Michai Boireau intercepted Blake Shapen’s pass to the flat at the Florida 29-yard line with 21 seconds remaining. The play sent their embattled coach out on a winning note, if this proves to be his final...
