Dwyane Wade Disrespect Canada's National Anthem
Dwyane Wade shows his disregard to Canada's National Anthem, before the Toronto Raptors’ 95-91 win against the Miami Heat on Saturday in Miami Dwyane Wade was seen shooting bricks while his teammates are lined up around the foul line and fans stood up to pay respect to “Oh Canada”.
Yes, it did help him throughout the game he is 13-25 for 38 points but still they lost and Toronto is now leading the series 2 to 1.
"It's something that I do before every game that I prepare for, and I've been doing it my whole career," Wade said after the Heat's practice session Sunday at AmericanAirlines Arena. "So I understand whatever is said from that standpoint, but I'm not a disrespectful person. So if anybody thinks I'm being disrespectful towards a country, then they have no idea of who Dwyane Wade is."
Do you think the NBA will act and discipline Dwyane Wade’s Canada disrespect? I doubt it.

Chris Bosh blood clots in Lungs
Miami Heat's All-Star forward Chris Bosh undergone more tests in South Florida hospital on Friday after suffering what is suspected to be a pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolism happens when an arterty in the lungs is clogged by a blood clot that travels to the lungs. It is life-threatening if not treated immediately with blood thinners. This can end his season or even his career.
Some medical experts believe that it is not safe to play contact sports on blood thinners since they can suffer uncontrollable internal and external bleeding. If the test will reveal that he is suffering from an auto-immune disease that made him prone to blood clots, he will be on blood thinners for life.
Bosh is expected to have more tests on his blood and heart, which includes stress test, before anyone can safely say he can play in the NBA.
If it is just a minor pulmonary embolism he will only need to take blood thinners for a few months.

LeBron James Did not Commit with Heat In Pat Riley Meeting
Here we are again with the "The Decision 2" where will LeBron take his talent next? LeBron James and Miami Heat president Pat Riley met last Wednesday July 9, 2014 in Las Vegas and he did not commit with the Heat.
While Miami courts LeBron, Cleveland Cavaliers are clearing cap space for LeBron, so they can offer a maximum contract. They had an agreement with the Brooklyn Nets for a 3-way team trade were Cavs will ship Jarrett Jack and Sergey Karasev to the Nets, and the Boston Celtics will get Marcus Thornton from the Brooklyn Nets and Tyler Zeller from the Cavs,and Cav's top-10 protected 2016 first-round pick. With this deal the Cavs will free up their cap space by $20.7 million.
I will call it! LeBron James will take his talent back to Cleveland to correct his past mistakes and help the Cavs win a championship! I will respect LeBron if do this, do it like a man and built your own team and not take the coward path of teaming up with other stars in a Heat jersey.

San Antonio Spurs Routed Miami Heat for the 2014 NBA Championship Title Game 5:107 - 84
San Antonio rallied from a first quarter 16-point deficit to gain control of Game 5 against the Miami Heat which build an early lead due to hot shooting of Lebron James. But the Spurs regain their composure to close out the game, handing the Miami Heat a 107 - 84 drubbing to capture the 2014 NBA Championship trophy.
2014 MVP Finals: Kawhi Leonard
Kawhi Leonard this years Finals MVP had 22 points and 10 rebounds, Manu Ginobili and Patty Mills chipped in 19 and 17 points respectively. This is Spurs fifth NBA championship.
LeBron James scored 31 points and 10 rebounds, but no other Miami player scored more than 13 points for the Heat.

Miami Heat Routed the Indiana Pacers to Reach the Finals for 4th Straight Year
In the regular season the Indiana Pacers has been dominant, but still they don't have an answer for the Miami Heat in the playoffs.
After the win, Miami Heat is just the 3rd team in NBA history to reach the finals in four consecutive years. The Heat easily dismantle the Pacers defense and overwhelm them in the offensive end with a 117-92 drubbing of the Pacers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference championship. LeBron James and Chris Bosh anchored the Miami Heat win with 25 points apiece.
In an interview after the game Lebron said: "I'm blessed. Very blessed. Very humbled."
"And we won't take this opportunity for granted. It's an unbelievable franchise, it's an unbelievable group. And we know we still have work to do, but we won't take this for granted. We're going to four straight Finals and we will never take this for granted."
Dwyane Wade and Rashard Lewis chipped in 13 points each for the Heat. Miami was trailing 9-2 in the first quarter but they got hot and produced 75 points by halftime.
Indiana Pacers was the top team in the regular season which was their goal because of a bitter lost in Game 7 of the East finals in Miami last year. It didn't work too well, maybe next year they should avoid game 6 in Miami too.
Paul George scored 29 points for Indiana, David West had 16 and Lance Stephenson finished with 11 points. The fans booed and heckled Lance Stephenson all night.
Miami Heat will have to wait for the San Antonio or Oklahoma City Western conference finals to see who will they be up against in the Finals.

Here’s My NBA Power Rankings
1. Miami
Heat: They were 66-16 last season and Lebron James said that he will play
better this season, they still have a declining Dwyane Wade, and unimpressive
Chris Bosh, but their acquisition of Ray Allen has proven beneficial remember
game 6.
2.
Brooklyn Nets (49-33): Jason Kidd is a new coach but they have a great
tactician in Lawrence Frank. The Nets has a deep bench and aging but still
efficient Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett combined it with stars like Deron
Williams, Joe Johnson and Brooke Lopez, they’ll be too much to handle this
season and can unseat the Heat in the East.
3. Chicago
Bulls (45-37): Derrick Rose has returned and his injury seems fully healed, his
jumpers have improved teams, I think they will win a lot of games this season.
4. Indiana
Pacers (49-32): Danny Granger is returning but his health is still an issue he
will miss the first two games of the regular season with a calf strain. I hope
Luis Scola will prove to be a nice piece in the Pacers run.
5. San Antonio Spurs
(58-24): As long as they have a healthy Tim Duncan and Tony Parker they will be
in contention. This should be Kawhi Leonard break out season.
6. Los
Angeles Clippers (56-26): the Clippers have a new coach Doc Rivers to lead
Chris Paul and Blake Griffin to win a title.
7. Houston Rockets (45-37): Dwight
Howard was healthy in the preseason and he seemed to work well with James
Harden and Jeremy Lin but I still doubt his maturity.
8. Golden
State Warriors (47-35): Andre Iguodala will play alongside Stephen Curry, Klay
Thompson, David Lee, Andrew Bogut and Harrison Barnes he can help this young
team a lot.
9. Oklahoma
City Thunder (60-22): The Thunder should be higher rank if not for an injured
Russell Westbrook who might be sidelined until December.
10. Memphis
Grizzlies (56-26): Dave Joerger is their new head coach what they need is a
little offense to go with their defensive efficiency of 97.4 last season.
11. New
York Knicks (54-28): Andrea Bargnani will be interesting to watch if he
performs in New York with Carmelo Anthony.
12. Denver
Nuggets (57-25): No more Andre Iguodala and Danilo Gallinari will be sidelined
to recover his knee injury.
14. Washington
Wizards (29-53 ): The Wizards will have John Wall, Marcin Gortat and Nene they
may post a decent win record with those three.
15. New
Orleans Pelicans (27-55): New Orleans will have a better shot this year with
players like Anthony Davis, Jrue Holiday and Tyreke Evans.
16. Cleveland
Cavaliers (24-58): the combo of Kyrie Irving and Andrew Bynum will be difficult
for some teams, the question is if Bynum will actually play.
17. Detroit Pistons (29-53): Josh Smith
will help this team this season, but I doubt if he can carry the team to
postseason.
18. Portland
Trail Blazers (33-49): LaMarcus Aldridge said: "mark my words" that
the Blazers will be a playoff team. LOL
19. Dallas Mavericks (41-41): Ellis and
Dirk Nowitzki will be a good tandem but still I have my doubts if they can
reach the postseason.
20. Toronto
Raptors (34-48): I hope Jonas Valanciunas plays well.
21. Charlotte
Bobcats (21-61): The have a new center in big Al Jefferson.
22. Atlanta
Hawks (44-38): Al Horford will be the face of the Hawks since Josh Smith is now
gone.
23. Sacramento
Kings (28-54): DeMarcus Cousins should deal with his issues and play better.
24. Utah
Jazz (43-39): Gordon Hayward, Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter will be
interesting to watch, but they still lack pieces to make it to the postseason.
25. Boston
Celtics (41-40): Yes, Celtics have a rehabbing Rajon Rondo and they have lost
their vets in Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett but on positive note they have 9
first round draft picks.
26. Los Angeles Lakers
(45-37): A lot of uncertainty of the Laker land this season since Kobe is still
uncertain when he'll play.
27. Milwaukee Bucks
(38-44): They are dealing will a lot of injuries this season Ersan Ilyasova
(ankle), center Ekpe Udoh (knee) and swingman Carlos Delfino (foot).
28. Orlando Magic
(20-62): Another rebuilding year for the Magic.
29. Phoenix
Suns (25-57): I think they will have one of the worst record this season.
30. Philadelphia 76ers (34-48): The Sixers
will be neck to neck with the Suns for the worst record.

Miami Heat beat San Antonio Spurs 88 - 95, Back to back NBA Champions!
Lebron James led the Miami Heat to it's consecutive championships. With 40 seconds to go in the fourth Tim Duncan had the chance to tie the game to 90 but missed the lay up. Then LeBron James makes a 20-foot jumper from the right wing to make it 88-92 with 27.9 seconds to go for a four point Miami lead.
In the dying seconds, Manu Ginobili turned the ball over again and Tim Duncan foul Lebron. Ginobili killed the Spurs chances to come back in the fourth with his sloppy plays and killer turn-overs.
James nailed a jumper to make it 92-88 with 27.9 seconds left on the clock. Moments later he stole the ball and was fouled in the process. James, often dubbed King James, hit both foul shots to put Miami up six with 23.5 seconds remaining. The sea of Miami Heat fans, all dressed in white, began celebrating as the clock ticked down to zero.
Dwyane Wade scored 23 points and won his third NBA title. Shane Battier had 18 on six 3-pointers.
Duncan had 24 points and 12 rebounds for the Spurs, but missed a shot and follow attempt right under the basket with about 50 seconds left and the Spurs trailing by two.
Kawhi Leonard hit a 25-foot three point jumper to bring the Spurs to within two, but that's as close they would get in the final two minutes of the game before Battier nailed a three and James took over from there.
Spurs player Tony Parker was just 3-for-12 with 10 points, four assists while Manu Ginobili had 18 points.

LeBron James Mad at the refs; as Chicago Bulls end Miami Heat's 27-game winning streak
CHICAGO — The Heat's bid for NBA history ended Wednesday night when their 27-game winning streak was snapped by the Chicago Bulls 101-97.
Miami finished six shy of the 33-game record held by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers.
LeBron James' was clearly frustrated that showed in the court and in the locker room afterward in an interview.
He gave two instances, a play where Kirk Hinrich took him down with two hands in the first quarter, and Taj Gibson appearing to make contact around his neck with about 4 minutes remaining - where he thought the contact was excessive. Referees reviewed the Gibson hit, but did not award a flagrant foul. So, late in the fourth quarter, with the Miami Heat trailing the Chicago Bulls James delivered an overly physical foul leading with his forearm on Bulls forward Carlos Boozer.
A referee called a flagrant foul 1.
James wasn't angry that the Heat were about to lose for the first time since Feb. 1. He was unhappy with the way the referees officiated the game, despite having the most free throws awarded by the refs at 11.
"It's been happening all year, and I've been able to keep my cool and try to tell Spo (Heat coach Erik Spoelstra), 'Let's not worry about it,' " James said.
"But it is getting to me a little bit. Every time I try to defend myself, I've got to face the consequences of a flagrant or a technical foul or whatever the case may be.
"It's tough. It's very tough."
"I knew it was going to be a physical game," said James, who finished with a game-high 32 points, seven rebounds and three assists and took 11 free throws. "Every game against the Bulls is a physical game."
"First of all, Kirk Hinrich in the first quarter just grabbed me with two hands and brought me to the ground," James said.
"The last one, Taj Gibson was able to collar me around my shoulder and bring me to the ground," James said.
Of both fouls, James said, "Those are not basketball plays."
"I'm not crying about anything, because I play the game at a high level," he said. "I play the game with a lot of aggression, and I understand some of the plays are on the borderline of a basketball play or not."
More trips to the Free Throw line for King James 11 aint gonna cut it!

NBA Top Stories - Miami Heat, LA Lakers Win
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- LeBron James and Chris Bosh scored 28 points each, as the Miami Heat made it 21 straight wins, beating the Milwaukee Bucks 107-94 on Friday night.
Only three other teams have won 20 in a row in one season, and the Heat now trail just the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers (33) and the 2007-08 Houston Rockets (22) after moving ahead of the 1970-71 Bucks.
They withstood an early scare when Dwyane Wade walked to the locker room with a neck strain after crashing to the court. Miami led by as much as 17 in the third quarter, then withstood a push by the Bucks to remain unbeaten since a loss at Indiana on Feb. 1.
Miami next plays Sunday at Toronto, where the winning streak began on Feb. 3.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - After hobbling around on a severely sprained left ankle for one quarter, Kobe Bryant took himself out of the game and made sure he was the most valuable player on the Los Angeles Lakers' bench.
He exhorted his teammates to play hard, to read the defense and to take advantage of any openings they found against Indiana. He diagrammed plays and pulled players aside, coaching them up all night. Then, Dwight Howard completed a tiebreaking three-point play with 90 seconds to go, and the Lakers pulled away from Indiana for a 99-93 win.
Bryant, known as a remarkably quick healer who hasn't missed a game since the 2009-10 season, gallantly played less than 48 hours after turning his ankle when he landed on Dahntay Jones' foot in the waning seconds of Wednesday's loss at Atlanta.

Miami Heat Got Ray Allen, leaves Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics' Big Three is officially over, Ray Allen is taking his talents to South Beach.
Ray's agent Jim Tanner confirms that he has agreed to join the Miami Heat. It happened late Friday agreeing to a three-year contract. Heat owner Mickey Arison also twit confirming the news.
Allen will go to Miami for half the money the Celtics were offering, choosing the sunnier weather, chance to play with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade and a fresh start with a new team. Allen was visibly unhappy during his final season in Boston, again placed on the trade block because of his expiring contract and then having to approach Doc Rivers about moving to the bench when murmurs became louder that the team wanted to start second-year guard Avery Bradley.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo sports also said that the deterioration of Ray Allen's relationship with Rajon Rondo playded a significant factor in his leaving for Miami.
The Celtics attempted a late run at Allen, offering $6 million per season for two years and promising a more defined role. But the team’s signing of Jason Terry, another 3-point marksman, clouded Allen’s status if he returned.
On Thursday, Allen met with Heat president Pat Riley, coach Erik Spoelstra and team executive Alonzo Mourning but left without agreeing to a contract. He returned to Boston Friday and informed the Heat of his decision in the evening.
I just hope this will make both teams better.
