(Not) Missing out on Gordon Heyward

     I for one totally don't mind that the Heat weren't able to sign Gordon Heyward. We would have had to pay him quite a bit considering we've been developing guys who turned into quality contributors on the cheap.

Miami Heat 98 - Denver Nuggets 93

     The Heat won in Denver for the first time in 10 years, on the second night of a back-to-back, despite the absence of Dwyane Wade and finishing without Mario Chalmers behind a big night from Lebron James by the score of 98 - 93. Lebron had 27 points 12 assists and 7 rebounds. Shane Battier contributed 18 points entirely on 3-pointers.

Heat 100 - LA Clippers 107

     

     The Miami Heat were defeated by the Los Angeles Clippers 107-100 at the Staples Center on Wednesday night. Lebron James scored 30 points but it wasn't enough as Chris Paul led the Clips with 16 points and 10 assists. Blake Griffin scored 20 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. Clippers guard Jamal Crawford scored 22 off the bench. Ray Allen added 14 and Rashard Lewis 11 for the Heat.

Heat 113 - Rockets 110

    
     The Miami Heat completed a late rally to defeat the Houston Rockets 113-110 on Monday night in Texas. Lebron James ended with 38 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists, with 32 points coming after halftime in a major effort to avoid consecutive road losses. Chris Bosh had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Dwyane Wade scored 19 points as the Heat shot 51% from the field.

Lakers turn down Phil Jackson

     Somehow, someway, the Lakers, in one of their most mystifying moves ever, have turned down Phil Jackson for their open head coaching position in favor of Mike D'Antoni. What?

Heat 86 - Grizzlies 104

     The Miami Heat were defeated 104-86 by the Grizzlies in Memphis Sunday Night. Dwyane Wade returned to the lineup after missing Friday's game in Atlanta with a cold. Lebron James had 20 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and a block. Chris Bosh scored 22. The loss snapped the Heat's four game winning streak.

Heat 95 - Hawks 89

     The Miami Heat defeated the Atlanta Hawks 95 - 89 in Atlanta behind an almost triple-double from Lebron James who had 21 points 11 rebounds and 9 assists. Chris Bosh had 24 points in the Heat's fourth straight win. Dwyane Wade didn't play because of a cold.
