Want A Reason To Watch The Miami Heat? (No?) James Johnson<em></em>
The Miami Heat have mostly been a mess this season.

Dion Waiters Handled His Free Agency Like He Handles Open Corner Threes
Dion Waiters had a very Dion Waiters season as a member of the Thunder in 2015-16.

Two straight years, Chris Bosh’s season has ended in February, as he’s battled multiple occurrences of blood clots.

For the fourth time in four games, Toronto and Miami played a boring, ugly slog of a game where entertaining chunks only ever intermittently floated up through a soup of mediocre, dumb basketball.
