There’s a way to peddle hope for the Miami Dolphins fan to live vicariously through another Super Bowl. But, come on, if you think I’m going to be a street pusher for an organization that’s only proven the past two decades it has no idea which way is up — excuse me, do you think I’m stupid? (Wrong answers only.) I’ve stood on the elevator as it’s taken everyone down, and down lower, through team owner Steve Ross’ tenure with (long breath) Joe Philbin, Bullygate,... Read More

The question in the wake of Thursday’s NBA trade deadline was one of: wouldn’t or couldn’t? Because where the Miami Heat stood entering the process and where they stand exiting the process is not a place to be running in place. Not bad enough to be lottery bad. Not good enough to be contention good. The fork in the road was right there in front of them, one a direction of resetting, one of augmenting.

BOSTON — Observations and other notes of interest from Friday night’s 98-96 loss to the Boston Celtics: – So no veteran addition for the Heat and therefore a move toward youth while practically locked into the play-in round? – Not exactly. – Actually not even close, as Heat coach Erik Spoelstra made abundantly clear in his pregame media session, before a massive Heat lead again turned into something less. – “We’re not going to prioritize something over winning,” he said,...
