... The Miami Heat, left for dead by many (including yours truly), are riding an impressive two-game winning streak after ominously starting their six-game road trip by going 0-4. ...
Clippers at Nets - Game Preview and Open Thread
Clips Nation —
... Following the loss to the Heat, the Nets really scare me. Why? The Heat were NBA champs 19 months ago, but were 4-15 entering the game against the Clippers. Still, Dwyane Wade is a top tier talent, and everyone knows that the Heat will start playing well at some point. Sure enough, after beating the Clippers, they went into Phoenix the next night and beat the Suns, with Wade scoring 30+ both times and looking like he's finally in top form. The Nets likewise have started slowly this season, but they have three superstars in Jason ...

... 4. It's Going To Be Like Looking Into A Mirror, Except One That Removes The Unfathomably Big Ego You Have: The "Resurgent Heat" are at home against Minny tonight. They've really shown that they are back on fire, going 3-7 in their last 10, including back to back losses to the Pacers and Wizards. Shaquille, who's been chippy with the media all season, goes up against Al Jefferson tonight, which should be fun. These are the kind of matchups where the ...
Which NBA teams project to have the most cap space over the next two years?
The Scores Report - The National Sports Blog —
In previous columns, I ranked the top 10 free agents of 2010 and identified several players with expiring contracts that might be moved before the Feb. 19 trade deadline. Now it’s time to talk about cap space.
We’ve been hearing a lot lately about how teams are “clearing cap space” so that they can sign a big-name free agent in the summer of 2010 (or in some cases, 2009). But what exactly does this mean?
