Asking Eric: My husband died, my house burned down, and still my sister shuns me

Dear Eric: I’m asking for advice about one of my sisters. Four years ago, my husband of 35 years unexpectedly died – he was gone within eight hours of entering the ER. It was traumatic for me. My large family of siblings showed up. At the time, the sister in question phoned and said she couldn’t come because her daughter was having her third child, but she would come in a month or so. Time passed and no visit. Three months later, my house burned down. Again, the phone call, with... Read More

Winderman’s view: Jaquez again an example of efficient versatility in Heat victory

MIAMI – Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 115-107 victory over the New York Knicks: – This Jaime Jaquez Jr. thing is real. – Cast one moment Sunday at power forward. – Another at point guard. – Versatility on demand. – And efficient versatility. – He has made it very easy at the start of this season to forget who he is not. – (Enough about the 3s.) – (And enough about the comparisons to Jimmy Butler.) – He has made it about what he stands...

Heat race to 115-107 victory over Knicks in home opener behind Powell’s 29

MIAMI — The brutal opening schedule for the Miami Heat? So far more than under control. First a competitive loss in Orlando. Then a record-setting blowout victory in Memphis. And then Sunday at Kaseya Center, a 115-107 smackdown of the rival New York Knicks in the home opener. At 2-1 with the Charlotte Hornets up next at home on Tuesday night, the Heat continue to evolve with their running game even as they play in the absence of sidelined All-Star guard Tyler Herro. “There was a...

Dave Hyde: What? How? Who was this Dolphins team that dominated Atlanta, 34-10?

Back from the dead? Sentenced to life this season again? Let’s start with something less sweeping than such big themes after the Miami Dolphins’ 34-10 win against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Let’s just say the following people won’t be publicly hung by their thumbs again on the day after: Mike McDaniel, whose capri pants looked a little better Sunday. Tua Tagovailoa, who had an efficient game for the first time this season after the worst of his career. Anthony Weaver, whose... Read More

Italian film festival made Heat coach Erik Spoelstra a big fan of Simone Fontecchio

MIAMI — This was not necessarily adding appetizing foreign flavor by choice. When the Heat acquired Simone Fontecchio in a July trade with the Detroit Pistons, it was more a matter of moving off of Duncan Robinson‘s money. But that doesn’t mean the Heat didn’t have their acquisition well scouted. No, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra during the 2024 offseason was not studying game tape of Fontecchio for his day job. But as an assistant with Team USA’s Olympic coaching staff, insight was... Read More

ASK IRA: Will NBA waiting game with Rozier conspire to expire Heat cap hopes?

Q: Ira, the NBA is telling the Heat they can’t play Terry Rozier. They are telling them he has to remain on their salary cap. They are telling them he still needs to be getting paid. Meanwhile my friend, we have a season going on here. During games, the NBA makes a review, and then keeps playing. They need to speed up this review. – Andrew. A: Except this is not the NBA’s review, nor, in a very literal way, is the NBA positioned to play judge and jury. This is a federal gambling case... Read More

Mark Fletcher Jr. scores three times in third quarter as No. 9 Hurricanes pull away from Stanford

MIAMI GARDENS — The Hurricanes’ run game had been sleepy the last two games. Mark Fletcher Jr. woke it up. The junior running back rushed for 106 yards and a career-high three touchdowns to lead the No. 9 Hurricanes (6-1, 2-1 ACC) to a 42-7 win over Stanford (3-5, 2-3 ACC) at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday. Miami got off to a slow start in the win, looking less like the team that won its first five games and more like the one that lost to Louisville last week. The Hurricanes moved down... Read More
