Well, that was rough. Game 3 started and the San Antonio Spurs rained down swords and knives onto the Miami Heat for the crotch-punching 111-92 win at American Airlines Arena. It was an onslaught from the beginning, as the Spurs hit 75 percent of their shots, obliterating NBA Finals records…
Dwyane Wade has been fined $5,000 for his Game 2 flop against the San Antonio Spurs. And deservedly so. The NBA says flopping is illegal and has tried to curb the act by fining players when they do. And Wade’s Game 2 flop was a doozy. Although it came against…
After he was forced out of Game 1 with cramps and had to be carried to the bench by Heat trainers, the Twittersphere began mocking LeBron James with a viral #LeBroning hashtag that showed people being carried in pain. In Game 2, LeBron took #LeBroning and bent it, torqued it,…
As LeBron James was losing a battle against debilitating muscle cramps, because he is, after all, a human and not a cyborg, energy-drink-maker Gatorade was getting all trolly with the King during the game. Or, at least whoever runs the Gatorade Twitter account was. Because they were laying it on…
The Spurs needed 90 percent shooting in the fourth quarter and the aid of a machine to beat LeBron James and the Miami Heat 110-95 Thursday night in San Antonio. The Heat took control of Game 1 in the third quarter of the NBA Finals matchup against the San Antonio…

A five-month New Times investigation into the claims published in…
The internet is full of stupid. You know this. We know this. But The Stupid doesn’t shine quite as brightly as when LeBron James and the Miami Heat lose a single playoff game. The Stupid was strong all day Thursday, following the Heat’s Game 5 loss to the Indiana Pacers…
It appears that the Miami Dolphins are continuing their chase to become the most dysfunctional pro football team in the history of the NFL. Along with being mediocre on the field going on nearly two decades, going through an embarrassing bullying scandal last season, and having to suspend a player…
The Miami Heat fell 93-90 to the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals match-up Wednesday night. Paul George had the game of his life, and the Pacers were able to muster a big performance to avoid elimination. Of course, it’s much easier to win a game…
In case you missed it, Chris Bosh delivered some righteous nut punching on the Indiana Pacers on Monday as he helped the Heat take a commanding 3-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. Also in case you missed it, Bosh made it clear on the Dan LeBatard Show on…

Listen, as you prepare for tomorrow’s game three of the Eastern Conference championship, remember: Dwyane Wade is your boy. But even your boy is indefensible at times. Tuesday night, Wade wore flood pants, and yes, this was another one of those times his fashion choices left you just shaking your…
On Wednesday, the good folks over at Buzzfeed put together yet another one of their massive listicles that get read by billions of people all over the Interwebs. This one, titled 18 Reasons You Should Cheer for the Pacers Over the Heat, was a doozy. We assume this is some…
Down 0-1? Lance Stephenson hitting ridiculous shots? The Pacers offense suddenly looking like the Showtime Lakers? Pffft. No problem.

Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra announced Tuesday that Udonis Haslem would be starting Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers. It’s a move that, frankly, should’ve been done in Game 1. UD brings height, defensive intensity, and a scowling badassery to the Heat that they…
Well, that was rough. The Miami Heat dropped Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals to the Indiana Pacers 107-96 in a game in which Miami never even led. It was a swift and rough kick right to the pills from the get-go and featured one of the most frustrating…
