The Miami Heat haven fallen down to earth a little bit recently, going just 2-3 over their last five games -- a streak that includes getting blown out by the Celtics on Sunday. But that might not be team president Pat Riley's biggest concern right now. According to TMZ, Riley is being sued by his neighbors for allegedly destroying their basement. The neighbors reportedly want Riley to pay no less than $551,000 as part of the suit. Riley and his wife, Christine, own beachfront property in Malibu, which was reportedly overhauled with new landscaping, remodeling, terracing and a new irrigation...

Ronny Turiaf joined the Miami Heat a couple of weeks ago, but the veteran big man admits he was close to donning green. Turiaf, who signed with the Heat after being waived by the Nuggets following his involvement in a three-team deal, said his decision came down to choosing between two or three teams before he eventually settled on joing LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in...

Heat hope a return home fixes what ails them
When Monday's film session and court work were completed on the Heat practice floor, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade huddled with coach Erik Spoelstra and assistant David Fizdale for a chat.
Everyone took a turn talking, everyone took a turn nodding.
''We'd be lying to ourselves,'' Wade said afterward, ''if we said we were playing our best basketball...

The Miami Heat have a good season going, just think how good it could be if these guys could win on the road. The Miami Heat have lost 7 out of their last 10 games on the road. Not only are they losing games on the road they lose them by plenty. For a team of fairly young players to lose to the Boston Celtics by 19 points and look totally worn out after the game, it leaves one to...

Avery Bradley says NOT UP IN HERE!
Avery Bradley sent Dwyane Wade's **** packin Sunday. Usually it's Wade or his partner in crime LeBron James turning a defensive play into a Sports Center Top 10 highlight. Not today. Bradley was under Wade's skin the entire game that I bet he could tell you what kind of shampoo the man uses.
P.S: How many times do you think Mike Breen ***** his pants accidently...

Centers are at such a dearth in talent right now in today’s NBA that the Miami Heat would be just fine in a series against the Orlando Magic or Los Angeles Lakers. The Heat have enough talent in enough places to succeed against an elite center. Last season’s Eastern Conference Finals proved that the regular season is only good for seeding, and that in critical junctures...

Sixers Still Can’t Beat the Heat, Even Without Wade
The Philadephia 76ers just can’t beat the Miami Heat, even when they are missing one of their star players. Dwayne Wade sat out tonight’s game, but the result was the same: Heat 99 – Sixers 93.
The Sixers played a good game against one of the league’s best teams. They actually led at the half 54-51. But in crunch time, when the game was on the line, the Heat could rely on...
Are these Heat really any different?
MIAMI It's simple. Either the Miami Heat are the Heat 2.0 hardened, emboldened and made better by all that's transpired since LeBron James uttered those words about South Beach.
Or they're the same team that relentlessly showed signs all last season, to those willing to see, that their glorious trio came with a very real Achilles' heel the one that finally caught...
James returns to form with 41 points vs. Sixers
MIAMI -- If Tom Brady goes awhile without a 300-yard passing game, it's a slump. If Tim Lincecum has a stretch without a 10-strikeout game, one wonders what's wrong.
It's the same with Miami forward LeBron James. When he had failed to reach 30 points for nine straight games, his longest such streak since early in his second season of 2004-05, it was a drought.
Well...
LeBron James holds off Sixers

Dwyane Wade missed the game with a bruised left knee, but he is expected to return for Wednesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Miami swept the season series against Philadelphia, and would face the Sixers in the first round for...

Rajon Rondo: Screw the green arrow, Rondo deserves a gold star for his performance. His 1st quarter was phenomenal: 10 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds. The Heat knew they were in for a fight right from the start. He managed the game brilliantly...
