Heat And Mavericks, Foes In 2011 Finals, Heading Opposite Directions In 2012
The Heat are up 3-0 in their series with New York while the Mavericks are down 0-3 against Oklahoma City in a reversal of fortunes for last year's NBA Finalists. When Dallas chose not to re-sign key players like Tyson Chandler and J.J. Barea, it was admitting that rebuilding was more important than defending the title. Meanwhile, Miami is just getting stronger as the Heat's three stars evolve together.

Chris Bosh's "baby beeper" has gone off and headed back to MIA
It appears that Chris Bosh will miss Game 3 tonight after flying back to Miami to be with his wife. Obviously fatherly duties and family come first as he is expecting baby Bosh. There is no info...
Amar'e Stoudemire is out for Game Three and doubtful thereafter.
Not surprising.
Amare Stoudemire ruled out for Game 3, doubtful for Game 4
Amare Stoudemire ruled out for Game 3, doubtful for Game 4
Amar'e Stoudemire's probably going to miss some time.
Possibly the rest of the series.
