Winderman’s view: Heat in two nights go from infuriating to inspiring

MIAMI — Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 121-84 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers: – This is how the Heat can be both inspiring and infuriating at the same time. – Inspiring because of the bounceback after Friday night’s no-show against the Pelicans. – Infuriating because of losses like that game against New Orleans, when it seemed as if they simply could not be bothered. – A little more of what the Heat offered Sunday, and a little less of what was on display on Friday night, and there wouldn’t be this desperate scramble in the play-in bracket. – No excuses this...

Winderman’s view: Duncan Robinson expresses hope for quick return, with Heat in need of such hope

MIAMI – Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 111-88 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans: – Considering the way the Heat shot 3-pointers in this one — or more to the point did not — the biggest news of the night came arguably before the game, with Heat guard Duncan Robinson expressing optimism about a rapid return, even as he missed his second game with a back issue diagnosed as left facet syndrome. – “Thankful that it’s not too serious,” Robinson said pregame. “A big thing is making sure that just kind of calm it down. So I’m going to try to play as soon as I possibly can....

CLEVELAND — Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 107-104 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers: – All the perspective you need on what the Heat had available is this: – Lineup A: Bam Adebayo, Kevin Love, Duncan Robinson, Tyler Herro, Josh Richardson. – Lineup B: Thomas Bryant, Nikola Jovic, Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier, Patty Mills. – Lineup A was who was not available for the Heat against the Cavaliers. – Lineup B was who started. – It of course doesn’t matter which was preferred. – For Heat coach Erik Spoelstra the injury report dictated the decision. – So Lineup B...

Terry Rozier saves the night for the Heat with late dramatics in 107-104 victory in Cleveland

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on March 21, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

CLEVELAND — That trade for Terry Rozier in January, the one for a future first-round pick and Kyle Lowry? It seemingly was made for this moment. With Rozier completing a late four-point play and then hitting a go-ahead 3-pointer with 14.5 seconds to play, the Miami Heat stole into the night Wednesday with a 107-104 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, despite being without Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson and Kevin Love. “This,” coach Erik Spoelstra said, “is why we wanted him here. He’s a great clutch performer and he’s been that way his entire career.” And...

Heat’s Jaquez eliminated in first round of All-Star dunk contest despite jumping over Shaq

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on February 18, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

Miami Heat rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. was eliminated in the first round of the Slam Dunk championship during All-Star Saturday in Indianapolis, despite an opening dunk that had him elevating over 7-foot-1 former Heat center Shaquille O’Neal. Jaquez was the first to compete in the opening round of the two-round competition, participating in a “Heat Culture” jersey. The first of two first-round attempts by the 6-6 wing had him placing O’Neal in the lane facing the basket, with Jaquez elevating above to complete the dunk on his first attempt. Jaquez’s second attempt in the two-dunk first round was...

PHILADELPHIA — Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 109-104 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers: – That oversized Duncan Robinson contract that was the source of much consternation? – Those trade rumors that reduced Robinson to mere salary-cap ledger entry? – The notion that with Cole Swider being developed, Robinson was expendable? – Never mind. – Never mind. – And never mind. – The essential Duncan Robinson has resurfaced when needed. – Picking up Wednesday night where he left off Tuesday night in Milwaukee. – Is there still time for an addition to the 3-point contest...

Heat roar into All-Star break as winners of 6 of 8, with 109-104 victory in Philadelphia

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on February 15, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

PHILADELPHIA – This wasn’t necessarily teams on fumes in their final game before the All-Star break, but this also was a pair of teams hardly whole. With Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier and Josh Richardson out for the Miami Heat, and with Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris out for the Philadelphia 76ers, Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Center hardly was the best of either team. Ultimately, though, for the Heat, there was enough, the harrowing 109-104 victory making it wins in six of their last eight, a run that followed a seven-game losing streak. So into the All-Star break at 30-25 it is for Erik Spoelstra’s...

Winderman’s view: Nikola Jovic’s career night the start of something more for Heat?

MILWAUKEE – Observations and other notes of interest from Tuesday night’s 123-97 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks: – As he awaited his turn for pregame shooting, Nikola Jovic smiled at the irony. – “It’s like I either start or don’t play,” he said. – Tuesday night he started. – And converted his first four 3-point shots, establishing a career high before the intermission. – Later with a career high in points. – Including 10 in the third period. – With his ballhandling particularly useful with Terry Rozier and Josh Richardson sidelined. – In this one, the options were limited for Erik Spoelstra,...

Shorthanded and superb: Heat pull off 123-97 stunner in Milwaukee

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on February 14, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MILWAUKEE – The pregame questioning included Erik Spoelstra being asked about his team being shorthanded. The questioner barely got four or five words out before Spoelstra gave the look, the one that lasers through anyone who dare suggest the Miami Heat don’t have enough. Which, by all reasonable measure, they didn’t. Which, by final score, didn’t matter. With Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier and Josh Richardson away from the team, the Miami Heat not only stood up to the challenge Tuesday night of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and the Milwaukee Bucks, but ultimately stole into the night with...
