ASK IRA: Will Spo play any regulars Wednesday?
Q: Do you think Spo will rest LeBron, Wade and Bosh, or do you think they will want to keep the momentum going and play them against Toronto? — Jacob.
A: There is just about zero chance they play Wednesday. I figure at this very moment the Heat are summoning back Yakhouba Diawara and Kasib Powell.

ASK IRA: Whose team? Who cares?
Q: This type of “whose team” talk has the potential to divide our team before they even play a game. Let’s not kill a good thing by stirring up strife that’s not there. — Reginald.
A: Agreed, but it’s not as if the discussion is going to disappear. It’s not, especially on a national level. This team will be dissected like few others in recent years. And, honestly...

Q: Could Yakhouba Diawara wind up as the final piece for the Heat this offseason, with the need for a perimeter defender? — Enrique.
A: Apparently not. While Diawara has been working out regularly at AmericanAirlines Arena, hoping to latch on for another tour, it appears the Heat is moving in another direction. It could be a case of the Heat auditioning perimeter defenders during...

ASK IRA: Is there any basis for Heat tampering?
Q: Do you believe there’s a real possibility at all that the Wade-Bosh-LeBron transaction can be voided? I’m not sure anything can be proven. There’s no real rule against players talking, anyway, is there? — Jordan.
A: Absolutely no chance at all. Heck, even the teams that lost the players don’t see it as an issue. Remember, in the end, the Heat acquired James and Bosh...

The Miami Heat have an amazing 12 free agents heading into this summer
The Heat have 12 free agents heading into this summer but they need to focus on bringing Dwyane Wade back for the future before any of the other 11 free agents are addressed. D-Wade is going to have a lot of suitors outside of Miami but the Heat are the best team for him. That is because they can sign a couple of free agents (other than their own) and use their Larry Bird rights...

Celtics lose meaningless game to Bucks 106-95
The term "meaningless game" is thrown around loosely in sports. But if there was ever one that fit the bill it was this one. Tonight's game didn't mean anything to the Celtics. Scalabrine played 30 minutes which should tell you something. By the way, Scal tries hard and is unselfish. He's just not athletic enough to be in the NBA.
The fact is, it behooved them to lose this one...

Heat wrap up No. 5 seed with 2 OT win (AP)
For some reason, the New Jersey Nets weren't ready to let their forgettable season end. Not in regulation. Or after one overtime, either. After that, well, Mario Chalmers decided to put the Nets out of their misery. Chalmers opened the scoring in the second OT, then found Yakhouba Diawara for a banked-in 3-pointer with 2:27 left, and the Miami Heat pulled away to finally clinch the No.

ASK IRA: Could this Heat core have a future?
Q: I feel like if we sign a max contract like Bosh or Stoudemire we would still have too many holes in the lineup: no point guard, no small forward, no center. Wouldn’t it be better to sign several mid-level players and keep some of the current contributors? — Riccardo.
A: With a strong finish and solid playoff showing, it just might be an approach the Heat could sell to Dwyane...

A: No, because even if LeBron dials it back once Cleveland clinches the top seed in the East, Durant won’t. It will be one of those two. And Carmelo also will need to keep scoring. The hope should be that Dwyane...
