Winderman’s view: At this point, after another loss, Tyler Herro left looking for a friend

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on December 2, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, Miami Heat Blog, NBA, Sports.

TORONTO – Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 119-116 loss to the Toronto Raptors: – There have been times in recent seasons when the onus on Jimmy Butler seemed overwhelming. – There have been times when that same could be said the past few years with Bam Adebayo, and his bucketload of responsibilities on both ends. – And then you have a night like this and wonder if, maybe, Tyler Herro could get a bit of help. – Herro carried the Heat in the first half. – Was active while others were anemic. – And then in the third period, a driving layup . . . that wasn’t. –...

Heat come up short 119-116 in Toronto as Butler sits late, with greater challenges now ahead

TORONTO — What you want when the next four are against the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns and Cleveland Cavaliers is some sort of cushion. The Miami Heat squandered the opportunity Sunday night with a 119-116 loss at Scotiabank Arena to the lowly Toronto Raptors, a loss that dropped them to 9-9. On this night, even mediocrity proved to be a struggle, which is all that might have been required against an opponent that improved to 6-15. Instead, the Heat proved unable to double up on Friday night’s 121-111 victory over the Raptors at Kaseya Center, dominated in the paint by...

Biden pardons his son Hunter despite previous pledges not to

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on December 2, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News, Politics.

By ZEKE MILLER, ALANNA DURKIN RICHER and COLLEEN LONG WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, on Sunday night, sparing the younger Biden a possible prison sentence for federal felony gun and tax convictions and reversing his past promises not to use the extraordinary powers of the presidency for the benefit of his family. The Democratic president had previously said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence after convictions in the two cases in Delaware and California. The move comes weeks before Hunter Biden was set to receive his punishment after his...

Mario Cristobal, Cam Ward make Hurricanes’ case for College Football Playoff spot

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on December 1, 2024. Posted in College Sports, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Hurricanes, Sports.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — No. 6 Miami started Saturday in control of its own playoff destiny. After losing to Syracuse, the Hurricanes need some help. Miami will need the College Football Playoff selection committee to look favorably on it and give the team an at-large bid in order to make the 12-team tournament. UM coach Mario Cristobal and quarterback Cam Ward made that case after the loss. “A lot of stuff going on in terms of the CFP and how they’re going to figure things out, as well,” Cristobal said. “There’s a lot of good football teams out there, and we’re one of them.” Ward cited the team’s...

GREEN BAY, Wisc. — Miami Dolphins cornerback Kader Kohou suffered a back injury in Thursday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. In the first quarter, Kohou attempted to dive for a pass that was deflected and ricocheted up into the air. He collided with a Packers player and his body twisted backward while his helmet was also contacted. Kohou got up under his own power and walked slowly to the sideline injury tent to get checked out. He later was seen with a heating pad on his back and was cycling on a stationary bike. The third-year cornerback was also evaluated for...

No. 18 Gators wake up to put away Wake Forest at Disney tournament

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 29, 2024. Posted in College Sports, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

Scrappy defensive play that led to 10 steals and an overall aggressive nature helped carry No. 18 Florida to a 75-58 victory over Wake Forest on Thanksgiving Day at the ESPN Events Invitational at State Farm Field House. The Gators (7-0) remained unbeaten by pressuring the ball on defense and pushing the tempo in a game that didn’t start out particularly well for them. Florida scored just 11 points in the first 11 minutes and the Deacons had a chance to blow this game open. But thanks to the Gators’ tenacity on defense, they were able to keep the score close. “Credit to Wake, I thought they...

Winderman’s view: Duncan Robinson as Damian Lillard? Sort of in Heat win in Charlotte

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 28, 2024. 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 Wednesday night’s 98-94 victory over the Charlotte Hornets: – This is why you need specialists. – Because sometimes you need a spark. – Duncan Robinson was that specialist Wednesday night. – And he provided the exact spark the Heat needed on the second night of a back-to-back. – Not quite what Damian Lillard did at the outset Tuesday night against the Heat for the Bucks. – But close. – And needed. – On a night Jimmy Butler took a while to get going. – Before emulating Robinson’s 3-point shooting. – So make it 3-1 now with Robinson as a starter...

Heat stave off disaster, blowing 20-point lead before pushing past Hornets 98-94

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 28, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

This is who the Miami Heat have become. Living on the edge. Seemingly every night. A night after coming up short following a rally from 22 down at home against the Milwaukee Bucks, Erik Spoelstra’s team this time coughed up a 20-point third-quarter lead, to again find itself in yet another game decided at the wire. This time, survival. Barely. And, so, a 98-94 victory Wednesday night over the Charlotte Hornets at Spectrum Center, an 8-8 record at Thanksgiving, and an exhale, thanks, in part, to the late contributions of guard Tyler Herro and a muted triple-double from center Bam Adebayo.....
