RILEY IS FEELING THE HEAT Pat Riley committed to coaching the Miami Heat through the 2009-2010 season during the offseason. Now, Riley is reportedly leaning towards stepping down as head coach after this season. According to the South Florida Sun- Sentinel, Riley will likely focus on his role as Miami's team president fo |

| (Best E Casino) - Somebody call the President because the Miami Heat are getting wiped out in South Beach. It's not even hurricane season and Miami's basketball team is raged, ravaged, ripped and repugnant. Is this the same team that hoisted the Larry O'Brien NBA Championship Trophy a few years ago? Does Miami still have Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal on its roster? The answer to both obvious questions is yes. But you still couldn't tell if you were somehow living under the Atlantic Ocean the past yea |

The Hornets are 9-6 at home this season. They will host the Miami Heat on Friday at New Orleans Arena. The Lakers wrap up a two-game road trip tonight.

It was a good night for a couple of the NBA's bad teams. And another reminder that the Miami Heat are now one of them. The New York Knicks snapped a seven-game losing streak, and league-worst Minnesota ended an eight-game skid. Of course, the Timberwolves did it by beating Miami, so maybe that wasn't saying much. ``We're not exactly 28-5 this year,'' Dwyane Wade said of his 8-27 Heat, who have the worst record in the Eastern Conference. ``We're one of the worst teams in the league as well.''

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -The reeling Miami Heat won't get Shaquille O'Neal back for at least a week while he receives treatment for a hip injury that has sidelined him for six games. Coach Pat Riley said Tuesday that O'Neal is still in Los Angeles, but the Heat are encouraged by the treatment there and ``hope he'll be back by next week.'' O'Neal had an MRI exam on Monday, and Riley said it revealed only ``soft tissue and that kind of stuff, the inflammation and stuff. The initial reports on the test and t |

| (Best E Casino) - A pair of teams with losing streaks battle tonight, as the youthful Minnesota Timberwolves welcome the disappointing Miami Heat to the Target Center. This is the second and final meeting of the season between the clubs. On Monday, Dwyane Wade scored 30 points and made two free throws with 10.3 seconds left to help the Heat edge Minnesota, 91-87, at AmericanAirlines Arena. The Heat have won three in a row in the series. Miami, though, has lost eight of 10 and 10 of its last 13 at Minnes |

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal flew Monday to Los Angeles to seek medical treatment for a hip injury that has sidelined him the past five games. O'Neal's departure two games into a five-game trip is the latest setback for an injury-plagued team that has the worst record in the Eastern Conference at 8-26 and has lost seven games in a row. O'Neal had said Sunday he had hoped to return to the lineup Tuesday at Minnesota. He bruised his left hip Dec. 22 when he dived for a loose b |

Dwyane Wade stepped to the foul line, needing to hit two free throws to tie the Miami Heat's game in Memphis. He couldn't even make one. That's how bad things are going for the 2006 NBA champions, who are losing confidence as quickly as they are games. The Heat dropped their seventh in a row Sunday with a 101-94 loss to the Grizzlies. ``I don't know if it's a mental thing, if it's in our heads, or we don't believe,'' forward Udonis Haslem said. ``But, for whatever reason, we just can't get it don |
