Someone call Marie Kondo, because the Miami Heat has a mess on its hands. Hassan Whiteside remains in full-fledged hide-the-butthurt mode since the team traded him to the Portland Trailblazers last month.
The Miami Dolphins are only one day into their 2019 training camp under new head coach Brian Flores, but fans are already getting a taste of something they haven’t witnessed in over a decade — a genuine quarterback competition.
Come tomorrow at 9:40 a.m., the Miami Dolphins are back. Well, sort of. Their training practices will be open to the public at the Baptist Health Training Facility at Nova Southeastern University in Davie. Beggars can’t be choosers, though, so we’ll take it.
Remember the Miami Dolphins? You know, the football team that plays in that spaceship-looking building off the highway? Yeah, they’re back doing football-related exercises in preparation for big-boy preseason football games that’ll get underway against the Atlanta Falcons August 8.
Would you like to see all Miami’s favorite sports stars make themselves look 30 years older and possibly-maybe turn over all their personal data to the Russians at the same time? Well boy, do we have an app and a story for you! By now you’ve heard of FaceApp, the…
Recently, Miami sports teams have made some high-profile breaks from players and coaches who were once thought to be saviors. Gone but not forgotten, these castoffs have new chances to prove their ex-Miami teams wrong.
It’s possible this is the craziest NBA offseason of all time. The regular season doesn’t begin for months, but that hasn’t stopped the NBA “down months” from providing fans with premium playoffs-level drama. How it unfolded will be taught to schoolchildren one day.
Just a few weeks ago, we here at Miami New Times introduced you to your new favorite Miami Heat player, Tyler Herro. It didn’t matter then that you weren’t aware the Heat’s first-round draft pick was about to win your heart. After a little research, it was clear this was a guy who not only would fit right in but also soon enough garner his own fan club.
The perception of Miami sports fans is wildly inaccurate at best, racist at worst, and, most of the time, just plain wrong.
NBA free-agency season isn’t even a week old, and it’s apparent none of us was fully prepared for the tsunami of offseason-basketball soap-opera news it has already brought thus far. And the Miami Heat — without a single penny to its name — has somehow been one of the busiest teams since the NBA’s off-season edition of Game of Thrones got underway.
This is the perfect opportunity for the Heat to grab an all-star player and complete a potential NBA-altering reclamation project all in the same deal.
After a 10-31 start to the season, the Miami Marlins had themselves a nice little June — a 13-14 June, in fact. Nothing spectacular, and a June that by any other MLB team’s standards — rebuilding or otherwise — wouldn’t be all that newsworthy.
If trends continue, the Miami Heat is set to have a fantastic summer. The Heat entered this year’s free agency period with virtually zero salary-cap space, way too many athletic-but-ultimately-mediocre dudes crowding the lineup, and no clear superstar. They seemed destined for years of mediocrity.
Jimmy Butler is officially a member of the Miami Heat. It’s Biscayne Buckets time. This is happening. Once news broke Sunday morning that the Miami Heat and Butler were set to meet at exactly 6:01 p.m., there was growing confidence that Pat Riley and the Heat could land the former…
Westgate pegs the Heat as having a 20,000-to-1 chance of winning it all next season.
Now that the NBA Draft is in the rear-view mirror, objects seen through the Miami Heat’s windshield are coming into much better focus. Ready or not, the 2019-20 season will have a common theme — out with the old and in with the new. After a decade-and-a-half of…
You know about the “drippy” Miami Vice-like suit he wore to the draft, but you’re about to know a whole lot more about the Heat’s newest future core piece to a championship team.
The Miami Heat headed into Thursday night’s NBA Draft holding the 13th overall selection, a newly acquired second-round pick (44th overall pick) they acquired in a Wednesday trade from the Atlanta Hawks, and an obvious need for a young, athletic player. With Dwyane Wade retired, bloated contracts galore, and little to no salary-cap room, the Heat needed an exciting player who could contribute right away.
Miami sports fans are a proud, eclectic, cocky bunch. You know them you see ’em. You could take fans from each team, dress them in plain white shirts, line them up, and nine out of ten times quickly point out the ones who root for the South Florida squads. Local teams’ fans emit a unique, shall we say, eau de Miami.
Nearing the midway point of the season, it’s quite apparent that the Miami Marlins could make history, and not the kind you put on a commemorative baseball and hand out to fans to remember. The Marlins’ attendance is atrocious. It is unspeakably bad, even for a franchise that’s become a…
Since joining the Miami Heat in 1995, Pat Riley has proven he’s a fantastic coach, general manager, president, and team ambassador. He has also shown he always has the bigger picture in mind regardless of how hopeless things mights seem.
There are two types of sports fans: those who back local teams, and everyone else. Very few people fall into a gray area. Chalk it up to the not-us crowd hating us because they ain’t us or to Miamians’ sense of us-against-the-world mentality drilled into us because of all the UM Canes hate over the years, Marlins jokes, and, more recently, Heat-fan slander, but that’s how it feels — them and us.
