Hassan Whiteside Gashes Hand On Rim, Requires 10 Stitches
This looks like a pretty innocuous basketball play that happens a dozen times a game, but somehow Heat center Hassan Whiteside messed up his hand on the rim pretty badly. Via the Palm Beach Post: ...

Khris Middleton Hits Game-Winning Three To Cap Frenzied Final Seconds
Khris Middleton is starting to make a habit of hitting game-winners from a very specific spot on the floor. Down two to the Heat with eight seconds remaining, Jerryd Bayless's missed layup was heading out of bounds before Zaza Pachulia tracked it down and chucked it backwards. His save found Middl...

LeBron James Called This Dwyane Wade Game-Winner
Old Man Dwyane Wade's been on a nice little run lately, averaging nearly 30 points per game over his last seven.

Dwyane Wade Saves Ball, Throws Spectacular Behind-The-Back Pass
Up against frenemy LeBron James and the Cavaliers, Dwyane Wade is putting on an absolute show tonight. The 27 points on 11-15 through three quarters is impressive enough, but the real highlight of his night is this crazy save turned spot-on behind-the-back pass that split two defenders to Goran Drag...

Dwyane Wade Sounds Pretty Fed Up With Hassan Whiteside
Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside was ejected from last night's game against the Celtics after plowing straight through Celtics center Kelly Olynyk for no good reason, earning himself a one-game suspension. After the game, Dwyane Wade sounded like a man who is losing patience with Whiteside:...

Hassan Whiteside Just Won't Quit
There has been no stranger story in the NBA this year than the rise of Hassan Whiteside, the 25-year-old center who spent the last two seasons playing for the Sichuan Blue Whales, Al Mouttahed Tripoli, and Jiangsu Tongxi—making the trip back to China after being released by Tripoli—and now won't s...

Erik Spoelstra's Karaoke Strategy: Just Smile And Dance A Lot
Former Heat swingman Shane Battier hosted his annual charity karaoke event last night, which means it's time for us to once again laugh at members of the Heat organization trying and mostly failing to sing pop songs. So far, the best performance to surface from the evening is Erik Spoelstra, joi...

Hassan Whiteside: Alex Len Mad "Because I Just Kept Dunking On Him"
Who knew the Heat and Suns loathed each other so much? Monday night's game was chippy—Markieff Morris flagrantly fouled former teammate Goran Dragic, and a few minutes later, Hassan Whiteside and Alex Len wrestled on the court. (Officials ejected Morris, Len, and Whiteside for their roles.) After th...


Here Are Some Cool Derrick Rose Dunks
Given today's news and the way he was playing this season, it's kind of hard to believe that this version of Derrick Rose ever existed at all, let alone just four seasons ago. That third dunk remains one of the most absurd things I've ever seen in a basketball game....


Chris Bosh May Miss Rest Of Season Due To Blood Clots In Lungs

Heat Shoot Themselves In Foot With Dumbest Possible Play, Lose By One
Down one with 40 seconds left, the Heat should've had two possessions to win the ballgame. Instead, Norris Cole accidentally inbounded the ball when he was really just trying to throw it to Hassan Whiteside so that he could inbound it. Cole ended up getting the ball exactly where he wanted, but for ...

Mayweather And Pacquiao Meet For The First Time
It seems incredible that for all their ducking and dodging and posturing and close calls, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao had never met face-to-face before last night. But with both sitting courtside at the Miami Heat game—directly opposite each other, as it worked out—the two wandered over at h...

Heat Owner Gloats About How Cleveland Is A Shitty Place To Work
Once upon a time, Heat owner Micky Arison and LeBron James were thick as thieves. After all, James (and some other guys) won Arison two NBA titles. But now that James has returned "home" to Cleveland, Arison wants him to know what a big mistake he made. ...
