Miami Heat Scared of Jeremy Lin, Charlotte Hornets Have to Finish the Job

NBA Rumors – Miami Heat Offense With Joe Johnson is Scorching
The Miami Heat have the best offense in the NBA since Joe Johnson came over via trade. Dwyane Wade is often playing smartly and within the system instead of forcing things. Hassan Whiteside and Josh Richardson are one of the, if not the best, bench duos in the NBA. But this is the regular season, nothing more.

The calf strain which kept Chris Bosh sidelined during the NBA All-Star weekend is a lot more serious than initially reported, with what appears to be a blood clot in leg, which doesn’t just jeopardize the rest of the season for the Miami Heat star, but perhaps the rest of his career.
