50 million Americans under excessive heat warnings

The NBA playoffs are finally upon us, and fans got a Saturday full of highlights and huge performances.

The Miami Heat will face off against the Boston Celtics in a game that has massive implications on the NBA Play-In Tournament. Here's an explainer.

Here are the COVID-19 capacity limits and rules for home games for Miami's professional sports teams.

South Florida high temperatures could reach the mid and low 90s over the weekend, meaning the area could see record heat.

If you are asking if this Heat roster has title potential, I still believe it is a player or two away. As good as Milwaukee has looked this season, I've already seen a Mike Budenholzer regular-season colossus go flat in the playoffs, from his Atlanta days. And while I thought Philadelphia, with Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, might be the next big thing in the East, this season, so far, has spoken otherwise. But with LeBron James having left the East two summers ago and Kawhi Leonard following last summer, there certainly is no permanent roadblock in place. It is why the summer of 2021, if the salary-cap situation remains stable, could be such a big offseason for the Heat.

Butler recently missed two games during the Heat's five-game western trip due to a strained right shoulder, with the Heat losing both of those games. He then returned for the Heat's split of the final two games of that trip, participated in last Sunday's NBA All-Star Game in Chicago and then scored 17 points in Thursday night's road loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

Over the past year, Wade has collaborated with Rick Ross on the Miami rappers newest single, which drops Friday. Wade and Ross both promoted the new song Season Ticket Holder on social media before the track release. The 13-time All-Star will be featured on the song, along with longtime Heat teammate Udonis Haslem and musician Raphael Saadiq.

A: Look, the Heat will finish with a far better record than most expected or projected. At their current percentage, they are on pace for 53 wins. 3 in the East and pretty close to No. This year, it is possible a team could close with 53 wins and finish fifth in the East. 5 seed wouldn't necessarily be a standing of shame, just one that would present a far more challenging postseason.

Bosh averaged 20 points from 2014-16 after James left the Heat during the summer of 2014 for the Cleveland Cavaliers in free agency, but his career ended prematurely due to reoccurring blood clots. He played the final game of his career on Feb. 9, 2016. After being selected with the No. 4 pick in the 2003 draft, Bosh spent the first seven years of his NBA career with the Raptors and was named to the All-NBA Second Team in 2007.

Thats good for fourth in the East. That places changes day-to-day, though, and thats the added note to this trade. Theres great value in finishing No. Maybe Iguodala improved the Heat to slide above this pack. Finishing second means you play a weak seventh seed rather than a tougher Indiana (currently fifth) or Philadelphia (sixth) the way the standings stack up right now.

Playing in the absence of Jimmy Butler, who was held out with a sore right hip, the Heat were pushed to the limit, just as they were in recent losses to the Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks and, Sunday the San Antonio Spurs.

His unstated narrative, of course, is he always should have played more with the Heat. But you see now why he didnt why some of the key pieces for the Heat in recent years were anchors more than talents.

KINDRED SPIRITS: Like Rodney McGruder, Patrick Beverley spent time with the Heat, albeit only in training-camp settings. But he told the Orange County Register he can relate to what McGruder can bring to the Los Angeles Clippers because of their common Heat roots. He's one of those guys who go out there and has to prove himself every night. He's comfortable with that," Beverley said of McGruder, who was acquired by the Clippers the final week of last season and then signed to an free-agent contract in the offseason. He comes in, he does his job, you see him working on his game in the gym, and he deserves it all."

Jimmy Butler: It took a while for the Heat to get to closing time, with most of their early-season games producing lopsided results. But when crunch time arrived, Butler crushed it in Brooklyn and Toronto. Yes, there could be more scoring, and there certainly was with the 37 Wednesday night in Boston, but such singular focus likely would stunt the growth of others.

In other words, there are elements at play that could work for both teams. But, as you cite, that does not necessarily mean the players in play would fit. This Heat offense works best with three 3-point threats on the floor. But good players also have a way of making things work, as does Erik Spoelstra with his adjustments to personnel. And DeRozan or Aldridge would be an upgrade in quality.

All things considered, things could not have gone much worse for the local teams. As everyone in Miami prepares for Thanksgiving, lots of side dishes are in the works. The Heat, Dolphins, and Hurricanes all got a heaping scoop of potluck revenge at the hands of players who once led those teams. Jarvis Landry scores two touchdowns against the Dolphins.pic.twitter.com/e4Bfi76iS8 Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) November 24, 2019All things considered, things could not have gone much worse for the local teams. This weekend, Miami sports teams got a revenge hammer right in the face.

You can make the case for why each of those teams adopted that philosophy and explain how basketball is different. But the real story is the Heat are doing what theyve always done, what he the best franchises forever do: Theyre being smart. Imagine that idea.

The advice: Enjoy it while it lasts. There hasnt been much to cheer of late. There hasnt been a playoff game for anyone since the Heat were knocked out in five games in the opening round by Philadelphia in 2018. The last team to have postseason success was the Heat for winning a first-round series in 2016.

Parnas told the newspaper the Heat failed to honor their agreement that they provide player appearances to his firm, and a player never honored a verbal agreement to present him with a signed basketball at center court during halftime. It made me look like a fool in front of my client, Parnas told the Herald.

The numbers break down like this: Just 2.25 percent of those surveyed chose Heat fans as most annoying, 0.19 percent said the same of Marlins fans, and only 0.21 percent picked Dolphins fans. However, with Jimmy Butler in the fold and a gritty team in 2019, cocky Heat fans could be back next year. Marlins and Dolphins fans barely registered in this survey. NHL-wise, Panthers fans, like Marlins fans, barely made a blip in the poll. Panthers fans hit at just 0.36 percent, second only to Arizona Coyote fans as least annoying, with Boston Bruins fans ranking highest at 19.7 percent.

The Heat had to do something this summer and did. It made a marketing improvement by trading for for Jimmy Butler and trading off Hassan Whiteside. But as all the dust settles, the Eastern landscape doesnt look as re-arranged as the Heat roster.

Although under contract for $21.3 million in 2019-20 on the final year of his deal, Anderson is only guaranteed $15.6 million if released by July 10. To get under the hard-cap threshold, the Heat could utilize the stretch provision, which would allow them to stretch that remaining $15.6 million payment over three cap years. The downside of such a move is adding more than $5 million to the teams salary cap in the 2020 and 21 offseasons, when the Heat may be in position to utilize cap space.

That meant not only coming up with enough to sate Butler, who was eligible for a four-year, $142 million maximum package from the Heat, but getting Butler to leave more than $40 million on the table from the five-year, $188 million contract he was eligible to sign with the 76ers.

An NBA associate of Butler repeatedly has stressed that Butler long has targeted the Heat, dating to his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves, making that element of the back-and-forth between Wade and Butler far more likely that any whim or a return/reunion by Wade.
