Ja Morant trade rumors have begun to heat up, literally and figuratively. ESPN’s Shams Charania recently reported that the Memphis Grizzlies are officially fielding offers on the disgruntled Morant ahead of the February 5 trade deadline. And of course, the Miami Heat have been linked to the former All-Star point guard. According to ClutchPoints’ Brett […]

Every NBA season has peaks and valleys. Right now, the Miami Heat are in their steepest valley of the season to date. They have lost by 28 and 24 points, respectively, over their last two games to the Minnesota Timberwolves and Indiana Pacers. It might be useful to throw away the film. But there’s a […]

Bam Adebayo is in a clear offensive slump right now, and it’s hurting the Miami Heat. That statement says a lot, considering all the other things Adebayo brings to the table to impact winning. He remains the team’s greatest defender by far, and still adds that versatility of switching 1-5 on a nightly basis. The […]

If the previous two embarrassing blowout losses were too difficult for the Miami Heat, they need to brace themselves for their most difficult matchup they could face this season versus the reigning NBA champion OKC Thunder on the second leg of a road back-to-back.

Despite the roster getting fully healthy, the Miami Heat suffered their most embarrassing loss of the season to the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night.

Dallas Mavericks superstar Anthony Davis won’t be available to face his hometown Chicago Bulls on Saturday. So we’ve got that going for us… which is nice.
That’s just some of the good news for Chicago at the start of this weekend. Health-wise, the Bulls also seem to have benefited from an unexpected three-day break following their 108-93 home loss to the very shorthanded Detroit Pistons .
Chicago was set to host the Miami Heat the night after that Pistons loss. Instead, the combinati...

The Miami Heat continue their four-game road trip Saturday evening against the Indiana Pacers inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Heat’s most recent game against the Chicago Bulls was postponed due to slippery court conditions. So they have had three days off, but their game against Indiana will be the first of a back-to-back. Before that, however, […]

On Thursday night, the 17-20 Chicago Bulls were looking to stave off a four-game losing skid with a home clash against the similarly semi-mediocre 20-17 Miami Heat.
Instead, a two-hour delay due to melting ice beneath the hardwood eventually spiraled into a decision from the two teams and the NBA to postpone the action to another day altogether.
It was a strange broadcast to behold (more on that later). But at least the undermanned Bulls, who would have been playing on the second nig...

The Chicago Bulls had their clock cleaned, 108-93, by an equally banged-up Detroit Pistons club on Wednesday. Now, the Bulls will square off against another higher-seeded Eastern Conference team in the Miami Heat.
Chicago has looked a bit hapless without starting point guard Josh Giddey available, having gone 2-3 in his absence. Of course, it hasn’t helped that starting two-guard Coby White has missed four of those games, power forward/center Jalen Smith has missed a pair, and center Zach...

They are 2.5 games ahead of the Chicago Bulls and just two games behind the 4-seeded Toronto Raptors. It’s a relatively tight […]

There’s losing, and there’s getting humiliated. If you were to categorize the Miami Heat’s 122-94 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday, it’s much closer to the latter than it was the former. This comes on the heels of losing to the Timberwolves inside Kaseya Center, 125-115, four days prior. While Heat head coach Erik […]

If you witnessed the Miami Heat’s 28-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, you likely saw its worst loss of the season to date. But the loss continued a long-standing trend.

Game Story Many things have been said about this season’s Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Miami Heat have dropped their second straight game to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the span of four days. Despite a strong start—and Tyler Herro’s return— the Heat suffer their largest defeat of the season with a final score of 122-94.
