Raptors 120, Heat 113
Raptors 120, Heat 113
blogs.sun-sentinel.com — Observations from Friday's 120-113 loss to the Raptors at Air Canada Centre: This was Michael Beasley as advertised. He was aggressive both in the scoring column and on the boards. Even more than that, he pushed through adversity after the Heat ... (more) Raptors 120, Heat 113
ASK IRA: What's up with Wade?
Q: Given that the Heat is now back to its typical wishy-washy style of getting to games on Cuban time and trying to win in the third and fourth, after giving up the entire first half, do you think Wade is one of those ridiculously moody players?  The guy either shows up or he doesn't? -- ...

Wade: A slump or sign of the times?
Wade: A slump or sign of the times?
blogs.sun-sentinel.com — You agree with Dwyane Wade, that this is merely a shooting slump, because it is difficult to consider the alternative. You accept the fact that the Hawks are unique in their ability to "build a wall" around Wade, because Atlanta's unique ... (more) Wade: A slump or sign of the times?
ASK IRA: What about Monta Ellis in a Beasley deal?
Q: I read that Monta Ellis will soon be available. Do you think that the Heat should trade for him? He has explosive offensive skills that the Heat really needs and will definitely bolster the Heat at point guard. However, will it still leave space to sign a max-contract free agent along with ...

Hawks 105, Heat 90
Hawks 105, Heat 90
blogs.sun-sentinel.com — Observations from Wednesday's 105-90 loss to the Hawks at Philips Arena: Once again the Heat offense stagnated early, often leaving nothing more than jumpers as options. That, in effect, had the Hawks off to the races. The Hawks ended the first ... (more) Hawks 105, Heat 90
ASK IRA: Would the Heat look at Iverson?
Q: Now that Allen Iverson and the Memphis Grizzlies have parted ways, is he a possibility for the Miami Heat to sign? -- Gideon. A: Not now. Not with the team at 7-3. And likely not after stories continue to surface about his treatment of the Grizzlies' coaching staff. For now, stability is ...

Thunder 100, Heat 87
Thunder 100, Heat 87
blogs.sun-sentinel.com — Observations from Tuesday's 100-87 loss to the Thunder at AmericanAirlines Arena: A fracas late in the first half (pictured below) left Russell Westbrook and Jermaine O'Neal tangled, resulting in technical fouls for each. Westbrook also was called ... (more) Thunder 100, Heat 87
ASK IRA: What's wrong with Wade carrying the load?
Q: I constantly hear comments of how Wade has to score a bunch of points "blah, blah blah." It's the same case with Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and so on. That's their role. That's why they get paid millions. -- Jorge. A: But as I mentioned in Monday's paper, the difference is there ...

Stephen Jackson makes the Southeast steamier
Stephen Jackson makes the Southeast steamier
blogs.sun-sentinel.com — The division race Monday became that much more challenging for the Heat. No, Charlotte likely won't contend for a playoff spot in the East, even with the addition of Stephen Jackson. But considering that the cost of acquiring Jackson (and Acie ...

ASK IRA: How does the Heat upgrade on Chalmers?
Q: It is clear that Mario Chalmers' position in the NBA is backup point guard. As a backup, he is a great asset. Carlos Arroyo is also a solid backup. We have two solid backups, yet no true starter. At this point, wouldn't it make sense to look at Jamaal Tinsley or possibly even A.I., being ...

And the second-best Heat player is?
It is a game we often played during the uneven 2008-09 season: Who stands as second-best to Dwyane Wade on the Heat? Last season, the answer, at times was Michael Beasley or Shawn Marion or Daequan Cook or, all too often, none of the above. And this season? Well, based on the first two ...

ASK IRA: Could Dorell make a move on Q?
Q: Ira, the Heat moved Haslem out of the starting five to solidify the bench, which is working well. Q-Rich is a great shooter, but is not scoring while in that starting lineup. Why not start Dorell and have Q-Rich come off the bench with his offense? It's not like the Heat needs Q's points in ...

Heat 81, Nets 80
Observations from Saturday's 81-80 victory over the Nets at AmericanAirlines Arena: When Dwyane Wade (pictured below) dunked for the first time Saturday, did Anderson Varejao go sprawling somewhere? Then Wade sent everyone sprawling with his game-saving 3-pointer with one-tenth of a second ...
BallHype: hype it up!

ASK IRA: Where has Q-Rich gone?
Q: Please explain Q. Richardson? Against the Cavs, he had no points, no assists, no blocks and one steal and one rebound. I may have misread, but it looks like in eight games he has not missed a free throw -- because he is 0-0! Is that possible? He has no offense. They need Udonis in the game ...

Overexposure: Haslem at small forward
Udonis Haslem is many things. He is a physical inside presence. He is a gritty hustler. He is an undersized power player with an oversized heart. But he is not a small forward, especially when cast as a perimeter defender. Thursday's loss to Cleveland left the Heat somewhat exposed when ...

ASK IRA: What's Beasley's long-term value?
Q: Do you see Michael Beasley as an integral part of the Heat's future or a player that Riley would to see have his value increase for a future trade? -- Brian. A: I see him never being more than a No. 3 option here, considering the presence of Wade and the A-list free agent the team plans to ...

Cavaliers 111, Heat 104
Cavaliers 111, Heat 104
blogs.sun-sentinel.com — Observations from Thursday's 111-104 loss to the Cavaliers at AmericanAirlines Arena: This is why you watch even in November, because Wade vs. LeBron can be as dynamic in the season's first month as the last month. The two as teammates one day? ... (more) Cavaliers 111, Heat 104
ASK IRA: Is Beasley getting a fair shake?
Q: Ira, why don't you just write what everyone already knows: Beasley is never going to work with the Heat. Miami is doing him a great disservice by not trading him to a place he can play without having to look behind him all the time. -- Hector. A: OK, enough already. Yes, Michael might not ...

Wade not showing any 2010 strain
While Dwyane Wade was candid Wednesday about the possibility of one day playing alongside LeBron James, perhaps as the result of this summer's free agency, what the words from his interview don't as clearly convey is how relaxed he was with the subject. If there is any concern that 2010 free ...

ASK IRA: Can the Heat count on Cook?
Q: I think if Cook is healthy and playing like he did at the beginning of last year, plus what he improved over the summer, it can give us a true glimpse of where we are at. How serious is his shoulder injury? -- Walter. A: That's the rub. It comes and it goes, and therefore it remains a ...
