The Mid-October Briefing
2007-10-19 20:31:00 Considering the laziness of our MHB staff and the fact that my place of business seems to be in an ever increasing lull, I figured we can cover up to date on what I’ve seen/heard from the Heat to this point in the preseason. Let’s start with Dorell Wright. Reading mostly from what Ira Winderman has seen ... More About: Miami Heat , Offseason , October , Brief

Like Guns For Chocolate
2007-09-19 17:41:00 With the addition of Charlie Bell we will be overstocked at the point. A lot of people feel we should go after Michael Pietrus sending the Warriors J-Will’s expiring contract. I don’t feel comfortable with this unless they throw Matt Barnes in the deal. I also have another solution….. AK-47. Andrei Kirilenko is not happy in Utah ...

So Long Posey, Don’t Forget Your Pants
2007-08-26 17:09:00 Celts pick Pose y to get tough By Mark Murphy Boston Herald Sports Reporter Sunday, August 26, 2007 Reggie Miller would have added a nice offensive punch off the bench. But James Posey, the 6-foot-8 forward who agreed to a two-year, $7 million contract with the Celtics [team stats] yesterday, offers an upgrade in two areas of greater need. The swingman, who alternated with Antoine Walker as sixth man when the Miami Heat won the 2006 NBA title, is one of the most energetic players in the league, as well as one of its finest defenders. That combination makes Posey one of the NBA’s most highly regarded role players, and it has earned him a reputation for tough defense and the eternal scorn of Chicago fans after two playoff appearances against the Bulls. As playoff matchups against Richard Hamilton, Vince Carter, Richard Jefferson and, in particular, the Bulls’ Luol Deng and Tyrus Thomas have illustrated, Posey is a rugged defender who relishes tough assignments. His defense on Dall... More About: Pants , Long , Forge

Things That Are Supposedly Dead
