As a Nets season ticket holder I am disappointed that the New Jersey Nets lost out in the LeBron James sweepstakes.  I am not the hugest LBJ fan, but I have to admit that it would have been exciting to watch him play 41 times a year.  A lot of articles that have been circulating the web, newspapers, and magazines have been bashing “King James,” and they have every right. …

BREAKING NEWS, Mike Miller Signs with the Heat:
The Heat have added a 5th player to their roster as Mike Miller has apparently agreed to a 5-year/$30 million deal around 2AM according to the ESPN bottom line.  This signing was the easiest decision in the world for Mike Miller.  He has no solidified this Heat roster for a very reasonable price for a guy who is good at all the little intangibles.  He is now the 4th option for this team an another starter at the possible SF position if LeBron …

Boston 96, Miami 86 (Celtics win series 4-1)

There was a little scare in the second half, but Paul Pierce confirmed his next visit to Miami will be “on vacation”.
Pierce’s 21 points and excellent all-around play held off a furious attack led by Dwyane Wade and company to clinch the first round playoff series. They now await the winner of the Cleveland/Chicago (most likely Cleveland) series, whose game was currently at halftime as of press release.
Ray Allen also led the Celtics with 24 points, shooting 5-6 from beyond the arc. Rajon …

Miami 97, Minnesota 84
As all of us talk about players Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and even Kevin Durant, we all forget about a guy that is winning by himself, Dwyane Wade.
Wade follows his 43 point performance with a 39 point one to lead the Heat against the Timberwolves. This is the eighth straight victory for Miami, which just like the weather, are red hot. Honestly, there was a point about 3 weeks ago where I didn’t think they were going to make the playoffs, but Wade would not …

Pacers 99, Bobcats 94
I honestly cannot remember the last time I did a recap that had the Pacers winning a game so I decided to cover this game tonight.  With Gerald Wallace of the Bobcats out with an ankle sprain the Pacers did just enough to win.  The Pacers capitalized in Wallace’s absence by scoring thirty-two points in the second quarter.  Danny Granger led the Pacers with 26 points (9-25 from the field) and Troy Murphy had 16 points and 13 rebounds.  Mike Dunleavy had 15 points off the bench …

Lakers 102, Suns 96
Show of hands: how many people here thought the Lakers were washed up and falling fast after their three-game losing streak last week?  Ok, now how many people here hate the Lakers?
Yeah, I’d bet it was the same people keeping their hands up for both, and boy are they disappointed; because the Lakers are focused and back on track after a big road win against the Suns.
Guess who stepped up for the Lakers in their big road win. Who else, but Kobe (yes, I am going to …

Miami 100, Atlanta 94
In the comment section of my last power rankings, Shooter exclaimed Chicago to be the most inconsistent team in the league. I agree with him that they are inconsistent, but they are nowhere near the inconsistency of the Miami Heat.
I understand that Dwyane Wade has been out for 4 straight games and the Heat didn’t win any of those games (big surprise), but even when he is in the lineup, I have no idea what team will show up. They beat the Lakers already this week and …
