Latest news and updates about the Heat
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 […] The post Heat need more out of Bam Adebayo appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

And if there’s any good time to attempt to put in that work, it’s now— as the roster is finally fully healthy. The problem with the Heat’s […] The post Bam Adebayo and Norman Powell share thoughts on adapting to new starting lineup appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

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.

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...

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.
