Does Dexter Pittman have a future in Miami?
Erik Spoelstra may have used Eddy Curry against Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol last month, but he played Dexter Pittman in Wednesday’s game against Dwight Howard. Recently, neither of the Heat’s burly centers have managed to get on the court, with the Heat going small when Joel Anthony exits the game.

Fantasy NBA: Do I Drop My Injured Player?
Probably the second most dreaded fate for a Fantasy sports GM is to see one of their key players get injured. Often it means that you've blown a coveted high draft pick on a guy that will now be sitting in street clothes, as you battle with your buddies for fantasy supremacy.Now, I did say second most, didn't I? The only thing that stings more is to see a player you traded absolutely...

Heat Wake Up, Breeze By Hornets
The New Orleans Hornets took advantage of a complacent and lethargic Miami Heat to open their game Monday night, making nine of their first 10 field goal attempts and racing out to a 12-point lead midway through the second quarter. But from that point on, the Heat played with more urgency and the game went how one would expect a meeting between Miami and an Eric Gordon-less Hornets...

Slimmer Curry excited to face former team
MIAMI Eddy Curry evidently isn't friendly with Oliver Miller, perhaps the only other NBA player to have flirted with 400 pounds.
Curry had plenty of clothes that fit 70 pounds ago. But he didn't initially know what to do with them.
"I don't know anybody bigger than I was," Curry said of not being able to give them away.
So Curry instead found a tailor. She...

Miami Heat’s Eddy Curry back in shape with help from Dwyane Wade, LeBron James
So much freedom. So much temptation. It was a long lockout. There were days Eddy Curry felt hungry and tired, and the NBA seemed so very far away. What’s one handful of candy? What’s one missed workout when no one is really working or watching? Curry thought about going to the club, thought about going to McDonald’s, thought about sleeping in late.

Until this week, Mike Miller and Eddy Curry wore suits at the end of the Miami bench. They arrived here under vastly different circumstances, but are now essentially in the same place.

He bent his knees and extended his arms as if he was interested in trying to guard him. He lost track of Gasol...
