The Miami Heat’s performance on opening night against the Orlando Magic is utterly unexpected given that they didn’t make any significant changes during the NBA summer. It’s not, in fact. Except for the front office, almost everyone could see it coming from a mile away. Ironically, Pat Riley, who was dubbed the name of the Heat’s court during halftime of their season-opening crushing defeat, is in charge of that same front office. Nevertheless, ignoring the offseason, the Heat were not only awful against the Magic on opening night; they were dreadfully awful. The Heat were actually the only club that…
Given how often he’s made, the Celtics have now come to expect Payton Pritchard’s long heaves at the buzzer. Their decisive victory over the Wizards was another example of Pritchard’s unique talent, but it was too late to tell. The game’s outcome was unaffected by the shot not counting, but it was still a spectacular sight. Be aware that it would have been one of his own missed field goal tries if he had tried the shot prior to the buzzer. Pritchard’s heaves are regarded by the G-League as a missed field goal attempt for the team rather than the…

Although Johnston collapsed in weariness after pushing through to the…

The Atlanta Braves face a challenging offseason, with numerous key players reaching free agency. Unlike previous years, the team must address significant roster changes.

A mainstay in Atlanta’s rotation, Fried’s potential departure is difficult to envision. Despite efforts, the Braves have failed to secure an extension. Fried, entering his age-31 season, will likely seek a five-…
