Houston Who???

The other night the Miami Heat faced off against the Houston Rockets. Lebron James scored 38 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. James plainly took over the game. He immediately answered Morris' 3 with one of his own. Three possessions later he found Chris Bosh for a dunk that made it a one-point game. Then he drilled a 3 from 27 feet that pulled the Heat to within one with 1:49 to play. James scored five more points over the final 1:19, his driving layup past Carlos Delfino giving Miami the lead for good with 18.6 seconds left. Miami Heat won over the Houston Rockets 113-110.

Lebron Cant Make Clutch Free Throws

LeBron James had 20 points but missed all four of his free throws in the loss.The Miami Heat focused on shutting down Memphis' post scoring duo of Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol. Grizzlies reserve guard Wayne Ellington made them pay dearly.Bosh scored 22 points and LeBron James had 20 for Miami. Dwyane Wade came in averaging 20.4 points but was held to eight in his first game back after missing Friday night's win at Atlanta with a cold. Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said they expected teams to be coming after the Heat on this six-game road trip.
''There were critical places in where the game turned like sloppy turnovers, missed shots or big baskets that couldn't get us over that hump,'' Spoelstra said. ''They played very well. They played physical, and they did what they needed to do to bring it home.''The Grizzlies had the biggest edge in this game beyond the arc, where they went 14 of 24 (58.3 percent), and at one point were shooting a better percentage from outside the arc than the Heat shot at the free throw line. Miami came in as the league's second-best team at the line, averaging 82.9 percent, but finished 22 of 36 (61.1 percent).

LeBron: Ankle sore, but fine

LeBron James' twisted right ankle remained sore Saturday, though not enough for the reigning NBA MVP to be concerned about his status for Miami's season-opener against the Boston Celtics.
James was shaken up twice in the Heat's preseason finale Friday night, first when he turned the ankle in the game's opening minutes, then in the third quarter when he was inadvertently kicked in the face by New Orleans center Robin Lopez.
James was planning to get treatment for the ankle over the next couple days. He said he had no lingering aftereffects of the kick, which happened as he and Lopez jostled for a rebound.
The Heat open their title defense Tuesday against Boston. Miami got its roster down to the 15-player maximum on Saturday by waiving guard Garrett Temple.

With no Wade, Bosh steps up

With D-Wade out, Chris Bosh  turned in the aggressive performance Miami coach Erik Spoelstra wanted to see.

Ray Allen added 15 points off the bench for Miami, which shot 51.5 percent and hit 11 3-pointers. Bosh went 8 for 12 from the field with seven rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 25 minutes.

no more pregame

The NBA is undergoing a slight overhaul and implementing several new rules this upcoming season. The biggest one being that players will now be penalized for flopping because it was becoming a big problem in the league. A more under the radar rule is that players will have approximately 90 seconds after introductions to hit the court for the opening tip. It’s safe to say Oklahoma City’s mega-star Kevin Durant doesnt like the new pregame rule.Every team and player has their own pregame routines, and I’m not exactly sure why the NBA has put this rule in place. Fans and players alike enjoy pregame rituals that are a part of the game. LeBron’s powder toss, KG’s head-butt of the padded area of the hoop, and Dwyane Wade’s pull-ups on the rim are all player rituals we’ve grown accustomed to. I don’t think Kevin Durant will be alone in terms of dislike for the new rule.
