21 Games Later...By Deron Butler

What started as a win over Toronto back in February, has become an historical feat that many are taking notice of. The Miami Heat currently have a 21 win game streak, higher than the last defending NBA Championship team to do so, which were the Boston Celtics back in 2009.  The Heat also hold the third longest streak record behind the Houston Rockets' 22 win game streak in 2008, and the Los Angeles Lakers' 33 win game streak in 1972. Tomorrow, the Heat will face the Toronto Raptors at 1pm on Sun Sports and Monday against the Boston Celtics, who aren't impressed with their streak...or so Paul Pierce believes. Well, I'm not one to brag and such sometimes but the Heat have already eclipsed the Celtics' streak by 2 games, not that it wouldn't mean anything but it's something to point out at the least. Just how far will this streak go, is entirely up to the Heat. They control their own destiny now that they're on top of the Eastern Conference and the NBA as far as overall records go. For homework, watch the Heat take on the Raptors tomorrow at 1 on Sun Sports and on Monday against the Celtics at 8. I'm Deron Butler telling you to streak...with your clothes on.

The Heat Are Back And On A Roll by Deron Butler

It's been a long time, and I know I shouldn't have left you but...It's great to be back. The Miami Heat are off and they are more dominant than they have ever been. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and  Chris Bosh are reloaded with added weapons in clutch 3 point shooter, Ray Allen, and All Star Rashard Lewis. Though Miami had some bumps in the road early on with their defense against teams like the New York Knicks and the Memphis Grizzlies,  the Heat rebounded, and managed to take back first place from the Knicks. As the season continues, Miami looks forward to continue their dominance, and well into the season, teams like the New Jersey Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Lakers, Oklahoma City Thunder, and especially the Knicks are looking to remove Miami from their throne as NBA Champions. For homework (and this is very easy), give time to appreciate the Miami Heat, and everything the players have done this season. I'm Deron Butler, telling that the Heat is just not on, it's scorching!

Who's Ready For Some NBA?! By Deron Butler

Hello, once again Miami Heat fans and basketball fans in general. It's that time of the year again for sports, the most wonderful time of the year! Of course I am talking about the 2012-2013 NBA Season being in full swing. The Miami Heat will face the Boston Celtics on opening night, in what is to be the most highly anticipated season since its 66 game schedule last season. What emotions will run through the Celtics as they see the team that has beaten them in the Eastern Conference Finals last season raise another banner let alone LeBron James (pictured) ceremoniously get his first championship ring. Adding more fuel to this fire is the addition of Ray Allen in Miami, who not only left the Boston Celtics on the count of Rajon Rondo but also reuniting with fellow former Seattle Supersonic and teammate Rashard Lewis. This should be a very interesting game with a lot of emotions and attitudes being exchanged on the court in this ongoing rivalry. For homework, watch the Miami Heat take on the Boston Celtics either at the American Airlines Arena, Heat. com, NBA TV, or on TNT, and watch carefully at the expressions on the faces of the Boston Celtics. I'm Deron Butler asking the 1 billion dollar question...Who's Ready For Some NBA?!
