Ten years after LeBron, Jimmy Butler has made his own masterpiece
Ten years after LeBron, Jimmy Butler has made his own masterpiece
Before the sixth inning against the Celtics tonight, it was said – almost jokingly – that the Heat would need a LeBron in 2012 mode to survive in the series. But with Jimmy Butler struggling for three games, it was hard to imagine a scenario in which Jimmy imitated the legendary performance of the King ten years ago, in this same room. And yet… A Game 6 to play in Boston, being down 3-2 in the…

Carried by a huge Jimmy Butler (47 points), the Heat offers a Game 7 at home!
Carried by a huge Jimmy Butler (47 points), the Heat offers a Game 7 at home!
Back to the wall, the Heat players start strong, unsurprisingly. The first quarter is notably marked by the “show” of Jimmy Butler. In great difficulty during the three previous matches (9 points at 25% on shots), the winger regains his usual level of play for these 2022 playoffs at the start of this sixth inning: he compiles 14 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 interceptions after the first…

The Heat correct desperate Knicks
The Heat correct desperate Knicks
The Heat starts very strong. By a suffocating defense and effective systems for two award-winning shots from Duncan Robinson, the Floridians take an 11-point lead after four minutes (13-2). The Knicks find themselves chasing the score from the start, not ideal for gaining confidence. Especially since PJ Tucker unexpectedly catches fire (10 points) and the Heat logically prances in the lead after…

Charlotte collapses against the Heat
Charlotte collapses against the Heat
The Hornets’ season has been a rollercoaster of win-loss streaks, and tonight LaMelo Ball’s teammates suffered their fourth straight loss to Miami. A setback (104-86) which reflects their season with ups and downs, and even very low ones since they hit rock bottom when they returned from the locker room. It was Miami who had the best start with a 9-0 signed by the Adebayo-Butler tandem to make a…

revival season for the Bulls?
revival season for the Bulls?
The iconic Chicago franchise is back in the limelight this season after several years in the depths of the Eastern Conference. When we talk about American basketball, it is perhaps the franchise that comes to mind first. Building on their decade of unchallenged reign over the NBA in the 90s, the Bulls, then led by Michael Jordan, forged a notoriety well beyond the borders of Uncle Sam. So much…

three questions that will punctuate the final sprint in Miami
three questions that will punctuate the final sprint in Miami
Forty days is what separates us today from the end of the 2021-22 regular season. A month and a half before the Playoffs – or the Lottery – each franchise honed its weapons during the trade deadline on February 10, then recently took advantage of a week of All-Star Break to ask itself some essential questions. to a regular end in the nails. The objectives are not the same everywhere, of course,…

Erik Spoelstra, the coach of difficult situations
“If we’re going to get through this and get our ticket to the Finals, we’re going to have to do some incredibly difficult things. Going to Boston and finding collective solutions, these are emotions and obstacles that you have to live with. We remember it for the rest of our lives. » This statement by Erik Spoelstra, which can be read in the columns of The Athletic, could have been made in 2012,…

Miami size boss in the East, Morant power 52 thinks he is Spider-Man
Miami size boss in the East, Morant power 52 thinks he is Spider-Man
The boss in the East is the Heat: the Florida team led by Jimmy Butler dominated its dolphin Chicago, Monday in the NBA, while the phenomenon of the Grizzlies, Ja Morant, passed 52 points to the Spurs, by still feeding the Top 10 crazy gestures. The Clash in the East was clearly not worthy of national broadcast, as it did not involve the defending champion Bucks or the Embiid/Harden duo Sixers.…

Boston nears Finals after Game 5 success
Boston nears Finals after Game 5 success
For once, they had arrived on time. But the Miami Heat “fans” left the FTX Arena long before the end of Game 5, leaving their squad bogged down in a cathedral atmosphere resembling a funeral mass on Wednesday night (93-80). The Boston Celtics, executioners of the evening, also wore their black uniform. With this victory, they took control in this Eastern Conference final (3-2). And yet, at…

Six NBA Finals in eight years for the Warriors, pays the crazy stat
Six NBA Finals in eight years for the Warriors, pays the crazy stat
Parents – even grandparents – have known the series Dynasty original 1981 on cathode ray TV, and the children could watch the reboot of 2017 on Netflix. In the NBA, it’s a bit the same: the Darons have seen Michael Jordan’s Bulls build their Legacywhile the kids marvel at the one Stephen Curry’s Warriors continue to build. It’s done: this Thursday, Golden State defeated Dallas, setting the record…

Ben Simmons dilapidated at the 76ers in a fiery tirade!
Ben Simmons dilapidated at the 76ers in a fiery tirade!
The Ben Simmons file continues to fuel rumors on the eve of the trade deadline, without the 76ers really seem determined to part with it. However, Doc Rivers did not hesitate to charge his star leader with incredibly raw words about him! In the interest of the player, a transfer in the coming week would obviously be the dream scenario.

With Matisse Thybulle, the Sixers bring the cup to reason
With Matisse Thybulle, the Sixers bring the cup to reason
With Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, Matisse Thybulle is probably the player the Sixers executives care about the most. It is no coincidence that Daryl Morey did not want to send him to the Nets, as part of the exchange between Ben Simmons and James Harden. The Philadelphia president finally had the final say with his Brooklyn counterparts, even though he had to part ways with Draft picks for it,…

Wells Fargo Center is no longer the 76ers' inviolable stronghold
Wells Fargo Center is no longer the 76ers’ inviolable stronghold
” Frankly, that doesn’t make any sense. Even Joel Embiid struggles to explain it. Winners this weekend on the Spurs floor, the 76ers have improved their away record with now 17 wins for 9 losses. Philadelphia is thus the third most successful team away from its bases, behind the Suns and the Nets. The concern is that like the latter, the players of Pennsylvania are much less efficient on their…

Raptors squad on the brink of collapse
Raptors squad on the brink of collapse
The eight days, after their last game against the Warriors, to recover did not have the desired effect for the Raptors. The Canadian franchise is indeed heavily hit by the Covid-19 with ten players in solitary confinement. The trip to Cleveland this Sunday evening, when the Raptors were deprived of their seven best scorers, was going to be very, very complicated. Especially when you hear Yuta…
