And why does O'Neal need to play so much in the high post anyway? Keep that dude down on the low blocks where he belongs. Get someone else to set those picks for Wade. You want O'Neal to grab more rebounds? Get him closer to the basket more frequently.
Camp preview: Five on the spot
Michael Beasley provided plenty of drama this summer, with his league-mandated rehab stay at a Houston substance-abuse center. Dwyane Wade figures to supply plenty of intrigue this season, as he approaches next summer's free agency. But the storylines don't end there, as the Heat prepares for Mo...
"Just a mediocre pseudo-center, to be nice. He wouldn't even start in many teams at the 5."
Yea, but he's still way better than Anthony or Haslem anchoring the 5 spot....

I'm surprised the Heat let Flip Murray slip though the cracks -- dude could've help create on a team that severely lacks creators. I guess the same could hold true for Iverson. Head scratchers for me....
2010: An ongoing (cap) space odyssey
Forget the upcoming season, which, for the Heat, opens with Monday's start of training camp. (OK, don't, but at times it sure seems as though 2009-10 is setting up merely as an inconvenient truth for most of the league.)Instead, consider the latest two reasons why the focus on 2010 free agency h...
10. Beasley was never depressed.
9. Spoelstra's 'trip' to the Philippines was staged at a Hollywood studio
8. Only Wade, Q-Rich, J.O., and D Wright are the only members of the Heat to work out with Tim grover for 2 months.
7. Lamar Odom pulled a Mo Williams on us.
6.Michael Jordan wants to come back at 50!
5.Weed gives Beasley superpowers! Give it to him Riles
4. Tim Bug heading to the rafters
3. Pau Gasol and Kevin Garnett are soft.
2.Ira winderman have a mancrush on Beasley and hate Haslem.

The ever-shrinking free-agent market
So where does the NBA free-agent market stand? All you need to know is this: Earl Barron (pictured below) has accepted an invitation to Hornets camp.That's where the market stands. The search for camp landing spots is in scramble mode. Michael Ruffin in Oklahoma City. Maceo Baston in Detroi...
Williams, you killed the blog you little stick-boy....
The "investment" in Michael Beasley
No matter how the question was posed Monday, whether it was about "trust" or "comfort" or "confidence," the answer kept coming back the same way from Erik Spoelstra. When discussing Michael Beasley's return to the team, the second-year Heat coach spoke of the "investment" in the second-year forw...

I think Miami would have enuff to compete with those 2, eddie, I really do. I think a lot of it depends on how Beasley is used, and how he responds...both JO and Beasley are big time variables.
Four weeks and two huge questions
In four weeks, the Heat will congregate at AmericanAirlines Arena to see what it has. The faces will certainly be familiar after this mostly inactive summer, with Quentin Richardson the lone newcomer, now that draft choices Patrick Beverley and Robert Dozier are over in Greece.But in many ways, ...
"If the impossible happened and Jermaine O'Neal returned to 2007 form [19.4 ppg 9.6 rpg and 2.6 blks], would Miami be considered a contender?"
Yes.

Spo has said on numerous occasions that Beasley's been the hardest working guy this summer, so i guess you're wrong there Greg....
Later rather than sooner for Michael Beasley
The intersection of real life and sports is never an easy one. Michael Beasley finds himself there today, and debate about his place in the Heat lineup, as well as his place in the NBA, seems decidedly out of place. Basketball can wait, as Beasley deals in a Houston rehab facility with his well-...
Hey Josh, I was catching up on yesterday's blog and noticed you discussing marijuana's chemically addictive nature (or its lack thereof), and since you're back on the subject now I thought I'd interject....
Marijuana is thought to be non-chemically addictive because of its lack of tangible withdrawl symptoms, and while this may be true, it doesn't really tell the whole story, and I thought I might take the discussion a step further.
Weed seems to lack withdrawl symptoms because THC, its psycho-active ingredient, is fat-soluble. It's stored in the fattiest of the bodies' regions, the brain and the testicles (and my beer gut). Now, because of its fat-soluble-ness, it leaves the body s-l-o-w-l-y, sometimes upwards of a month, rendering the user unable to feel its exiting effects. Does this make it non-chemically addictive? Not so sure...
Now this is in stark contrast to its counterparts (alcohol, coke, herion, meth, etc.) which are water-soluble and therefore leave the body in a hurry, causing strong feelings of pain, depression and overall discomfort.
But I'm fairly sure that in a subtle way, the weed is a chemically addictive drug. Maybe that's why I'm heading to the den to take a toke.
Cheers.

LMAO Greg.....that is some sic $hit!
Beasley's tweets resonate before going silent
For the second time in less than a month, Heat forward Michael Beasley is out of the Twitter business, this time, perhaps, for good. Beasley's latest Twitter account, GorillaBeas, disappeared sometime overnight Saturday.That was shortly after he self-posted a photo (seen below) of a new "SuperCo...
Has anyone here considered that the twitters from Beazer are actually lines from a song? He coulda heard some new jam that he liked and spread some of the lyrics....i don't know, that stuff can mean just about anything. I'm not one to judge, I just want the mofo balling for the Heat.

Not only was it shortsighted, it was downright rude.
White Chocolate melted for Magic opportunity
Once the door opened for Jason Williams with the Magic, any interest from the Heat would have been rendered moot. Orlando is where J-Will wanted to play from the moment the Heat made it clear in 2008 he would not be invited back. Somewhat ...
But the reality is, if the Heat's youngsters moderately improve, JO has a full offseason/season with Wade and Co., and Wade stays healthy, improving from a 5th to a 4th seed is not out of the realm of possibilities. In fact I'd say it's almost a certainty.
Wade learning how to play the game
It was an innocuous offseason interview opportunity, but one that offered a window into what might follow. Based on how it played out, the Heat might yet survive the 2009-10 Dwyane Wade Free-Agent Tour. Unlike ...
And who are u, the blog police? If the man wants to dream - let him dream. You act like being overly positive about your home team is something that'll kill you.
Thank God for Ohshz, otherwise Dom would've homerized himself to death. Geesh.

I agree, Cap'n....
Whoa! It's Quentin Richardson we're talking about
Two days ago, Quentin Richardson was little more than an abstract when it came to the Heat's rotation. And now he's being mentioned in some quarters as a potential starting small forward? Before the Michael Beasley ...
Israel Gutieerez. in an email to me, did choose Q to start at the 3,, with Beasley coming off the bench at the 3 and 4.

Now we can add Izzy to the growing list of dolts. Start Haslem over Beaz? I will not watch another Heat game in which Haslem starts over Beasley, and I have the word Heat in my last name. Go figure.

No point in a point guard right now
Pat Riley was incredibly quick, through a Heat spokesman, to shoot down speculation about anything pending, or even brewing, with free-agent point guard Jamaal Tinsley. Why? Foremost, because this is the second week of August and Riley long has ...
Riley pulled off another heist, and again people are disappointed.

True....but what does it say about the signing of J Jones last year?

Whoptee-dam-doo
Haslem appreciates his position
With anyone else, there would be concerns. But because this is Udonis Haslem we're talking about, somehow it will all work itself out. Even though Michael Beasley could be coming after his starting position. And even though this is...
Yeah, unions are great. Not! There comes a time when someone is overpaid for what they do. That time is now, and the people are professional athletes.
Key to Heat's health? Internal medicine
If you weren't privy to Pat Riley's media conference call last week, you were afforded a rerun Monday, when Erik Spoelstra visited with Jorge Sedano and Krystal Fernandez on 790 The Ticket. For the Heat, it clearly will be all abo...
Frosted Flakes still kick ass after all these years.
The waiting game with Wade's extension
A month ago, when Dwyane Wade was everywhere promoting the Summer Groove charity event, talk of his extension window opening was everywhere, as well. Since then, nothing has changed. The window is still open; Wade is still waiting, this time as he is off in Chicago...
I think Flip Murray would be a fine addition to this team.
