The Miami Heat’s most recent loss to the Boston Celtics felt like an all-too-common occurrence. Miami surrendered 147 points, their second time allowing 147 or more over the last week, on 58.3 percent shooting with 21 made Celtic threes. Once prided on its defensive fortitude, the Heat displayed an episodic collapse on that end of […]
The post Erik Spoelstra is shrinking his rotation, and that’s not a good thing appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
If I’ve learned one thing from this season — or even the last 2-3 years — is that time flies, even when you’re not having fun. It felt like yesterday when the somewhat new-look Miami Heat torched the Memphis Grizzlies in the second game of the season. Fast forward over five months later, the Heat […]

It's always good to beat the Heat. Heat fans have certainly come down a peg from how puffed up they were during the Heatles era. It's so funny how they went from the Celtics have no answer for Bam to wanting him gone and calling him pathetic. It really surprises me how much they don't like Spoelstra. He's a top 15 all time coach. Describing Scheierman as the guy with the mullet and the stache cracked me up for some reason. My favorites are in bol...
1. Incredible Scoring Night Coming off a rough loss against the Atlanta Hawks, the Celtics were almost completely healthy in their matchup against the Miami Heat and they played arguably their best offensive game of the season. Boston scored 147 points on the Heat in this game, the second most points they’ve scored in a […]
Before Wednesday night, Boston Celtics sharpshooter Sam Hauser was mired in a 3-point slump that spanned two months. He shot 33 percent last month and 37.5 percent in February — well below his career 41 percent. Then, in the first quarter against the Miami Heat, he caught fire. Hauser shot a perfect 6-for-6 to begin, […]
After a nice bounce back win against the Philadelphia 76ers earlier in the week, the Miami Heat failed to keep it going with the Boston Celtics in town on Wednesday. Boston stormed into Kaseya Center and picked apart the Heat defense on route to a 147-129 loss for Miami. The loss is the Heat’s third […]
The post Celtics’ offense too much for Heat to handle in 147-129 blowout loss appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Phew. Boston’s 147-129 thrashing of Miami was something else. It’s always tough sledding against the Heat, but a 53-point first quarter (11-15 from 3) and 80 points in the first half are indicative of just how much these teams have changed. The Heat and Celtics are on both ends of the pace spectrum at 104.4 […]
MIAMI — With just a few seconds to spare in the second quarter of Wednesday’s Celtics-Heat game, Derrick White found Jaylen Brown for an alley-oop. Brown finished the layup — marking his 10th basket of the first half — and the Celtics bench rejoiced. But, there was one problem: 1.5 seconds remained on the clock […]
The Celtics scored 53 first quarter points in route to a 147-129 point win over the rival Miami Heat. It was a night that included a 43 point game from Jaylen Brown, a triple-double from Jayson Tatum and 15 point and 10 rebound game from Neemias Queta. The Celtics had everyone available, outside of Nikola […]

Regardless of how high you are on Luka Dončić’s recent level of play, it’s probably not high enough. He has been on a historic, generational run. In March, he had a 60-point performance against the Heat and scored 40 or more points on six different occasions, including the final game of the month, where he […]
The Miami Heat finally picked up an encouraging win in their previous Monday night win over the Philadelphia 76ers. A late run fueled by multiple clutch buckets from Tyler Herro secured the victory, snapping a two-game skid. However, Miami faces a daunting task in hopes of avoiding returning to the loss column— as they are […]

Well, Monday didn’t go as hoped for the Sixers. With cool shooting nights from their stars, while Tyler Herro led the way with 30 points for Miami who went on a 14-0 run in the last few minutes to take control, the Sixers lost to the Heat, 119-109. It was an underwhelming performance and frustrating result. […]
The NBA has never been short on opinions. Scroll through your timeline during any given Miami Heat game and you’ll see it all—trade ideas, lineup debates, overreactions both good and bad after every run.

Typically, a team playing for playoff seeding in late March has an extra sense of urgency. Every possession is magnified and the attention to detail increases. For the Miami Heat, every game became a must-win game to avoid the play-in. And for a brief moment, while a fourth-consecutive play-in appearance was never out of the […]

Coming off an embarrassing 17-point loss to the tanking Pacers the night prior, no team needed a jolt more than the Miami Heat. Not necessarily offensively, but defensively. The first two-and-a-half quarters were much of the same that we’ve seen the last three weeks. A team heavily reliant on zone that couldn’t generate many stops […]

The Miami Heat have lost seven of their last eight games, following their second straight embarrassing performance this past weekend. They suffered another near-20-point blowout loss on Sunday to the 15th seed (and tanking) Indiana Pacers. It was yet another rock bottom and inexcusable moment that only further solidified their inevitable play-in fate. Miami is […]

Just when you think things couldn’t have gotten worse for the Miami Heat — they got worse. The Indiana Pacers, a tanking team who entered losers of 18 of their previous 19 games, secured a 135-118 win over the Miami Heat inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse Sunday evening. To make matters worse: Two of the Pacers’ 17 […]
