Found March 12, 2013 on Just Sports And Just Us: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Erik Spoelstra,  Pat Riley
TEAMS: Miami Heat

You would figure that a NBA coach would be married and have children. And whoever they're married to would be in the same age bracket. Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, 42, has surprised many by who he's dating. Spoelstra appeared at a fundraiser Saturday night with his girlfriend, Nikki Sapp. Sapp is a 24 year old former Heat dancer. An 18-year-old Sapp started dancing for the team in 2005, while a 34-year-old Spoelstra was serving as an assistant for Pat Riley. She danced with the squad for three seasons, then left before Spoelstra took over the Heat's head coaching position in 2008.  Outside of Phil Jackson, no one really knows about who a coach is dating or married to. We all know Phil didn't do too bad (Jeanie Buss) and based on the looks of Sapp, Spoelstra isn't doing too bad either. But that age difference makes you wonder. Oh well. Play on player.

Whiskey Tango To Pay Customers’ Tab If Heat Lose Again in the Regular Season

Via BlackSportsOnline  |  March 12, 2013
Whiskey Tango tried this before in 2011 and it didn’t work out too well. This time they have a little bit smarter promotion. The Heat are on an 18 game winning streak and there aren’t a lot of games in the regular season, so this is a more reasonable way to give out free drinks and get some free press. Here are the details. The next time the Miami Heat loses a game, we will pay...

Pacers given dose of reality by streaking Heat

Via Pacers Pulse  |  March 11, 2013
I am firmly of the belief that the Indiana Pacers are better team now than the team they were when they twice beat the Miami Heat earlier this season. The problem is, this current Heat team is playing out of their minds. Combine that with home court for the Heat and a thirst for revenge -- the Pacers simply had no chance. Final score, 105-91, and the Pacers never got very close...
