Miami Heat – The Best Team in the East, So Far
Being undefeated at this point of the season is hardly an achievement, but there’s no denying that the Miami Heat in the post-LeBron James era are looking good. Their 107-102 win over the Toronto Raptors was an excellent example of their ability to get points from a number of sources, but obviously led by Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade and Luol Deng.

Miami Heat – A Very Good Start to a New Era
No more big three, and it’s fine. Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade did very well without another big star to help them out, leading the Miami Heat to a 107-95 win over the Washington Wizards, getting some significant contribution from Norris Cole, who feels right at home with his new role as the starting point guard.

Miami Heat – Chris Bosh & Luol Deng Look Great in Preseason Debut
A new era for the Miami Heat began with a preseason loss to the Orlando Magic, but the ability of Chris Bosh and Luol Deng (not so much Dwyane Wade at this point) was more than pleasing, as the ghost of LeBron James hovered in the arena.

LeBron James Stops Making Promises He Can’t Keep
It’s a different LeBron James that’s coming back to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Maybe still the best player in the NBA, but a little less arrogant, a bit more humble and much more focused about who he is and what he thinks his team is capable of doing. He’s not promising a never ending list of championships to the fans he’s returning to.

NBA Rumors – Miami Heat Moving Chris Bosh Back Into the Paint
There are going to be quite a lot of changes to the way the Miami Heat play now that their best player has left them, and one of them may be reintroducing Chris Bosh to the paint and playing in the low post after four years of gradually becoming more and more of a perimeter big man when the Heat had possession.

At this stage, with NBA training camps right around the corner, it’s about filling small holes in the roster.
