Grizzlies 102, Heat 86

Bad game for the Heat. No energy at either end of the court. Actually, the Heat was a disaster at both ends of the court. It was probably the second-worst showing of the year after the 106-68 blowout at Portland….

Haslem, Beasley questionable for Memphis game

Power forward Udonis Haslem (death in family) and power forward Michael Beasley (illness) are questionable for Sunday’s game at Memphis. Their absences would badly tax the Heat’s power forward rotation. Both players missed Saturday’s practice. Coach Erik Spoelstra said there’s…

Hawks 87, Heat 73

Yes, the Heat needs Michael Beasley and his offense. Badly. If there was any doubt Friday’s loss to Atlanta provided the answer. Clearly Beasley isn’t as important to the Heat as Dwyane Wade, Udonis Haslem or Shawn Marion. But he’s…

Heat 100, Bobcats 96

Check out Dwyane Wade’s dunk over Emeka Okafor in the fourth quarter that gave Miami an 86-84 lead. It’s Wade’s best dunk of the year. He posterized Okafor. Nasty stuff. “I shocked myself a little bit,” Wade said. “It felt…

Heat ranks 16th in attendance

The Heat has one home sellout this season, and that was the home opener against Sacramento on Oct. 31. The other eight games have drawn OK — the Heat averages 16,669 entering tonight’s home game against Charlotte; that ranks 16th…
