Mike Miller News

All Iman Shumpert remembers is being so tired he spent most days sleeping until game time.

Chris Bosh scored 24 points to go with 11 rebounds, while LeBron James added 18 points and nine assists for the Heat, who bounced back from a loss at Orlando on Wednesday to win for a fourth time in their past five games.

The Miami Heat don't really need to make a trade to stay among the contenders in the Eastern Conference, but let's enter some alternate reality in which Micky Arison and Pat Riley inexplicably decide that the team needs to swing a deal before the trade deadline.

Protect the rim by keeping at least one foot planted in the paint. And rely upon effort and quickness to close out on shooters before they get too comfortable.

For the first time this season, the Miami Heat will go up against their intra-state rivals in Orlando.

They have won their eight of their last 10 games and currently sit at 19-6, good for second in the Eastern Conference.

Despite being a deadly three-point expert, Miami Heat forward James Jones has fallen out of favor in coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation.

Rather Mario Chalmers, the Miami Heat's lineup afterthought who quietly has positioned himself among the NBA's 3-point elite this season.

The teams square off for the second time in two weeks. On Jan. 24, the Heat handed the Cavaliers a 92-85 defeat when Chris Bosh rallied Miami with a 17-point fourth quarter to break open a close game.

The Toronto Raptors have won four of their last seven games since a grueling eight-game losing streak and will play back-to-back road games against Miami and Washington.

Heat forward Chris Bosh suggested before Wednesday's loss to the Bucks that the next step in the evolution of his team would come when it successfully rebounded from a loss and avoided an extended losing streak.

That's what happens when LeBron James and Chris Bosh decide to join Dwyane Wade on a "superteam" that plays on the shores of Biscayne Bay and the shadow of South Beach.

Dwyane Wade poured in 26 to lead Miami to the win in Philly Friday night. Wade and LeBron James were just voted 2012 All-Stars. Dwyane Wade scored 26 points, and LeBron James had 19 points and 12 rebounds to lift the Miami Heat to a 99-79 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night.

The game started oddly, and the strangeness remained as both the Heat and 76ers failed to get into a groove all night.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra says 'there's a karma to the game,' and the team's numerous turnovers and costly mistakes are disrupting it.

Of all the teams interested in Dwight Howard , one team has been surprisingly silent about trading for the best center in basketball.
