Must Improve: (i) Too much dribbling, not enough ball movement; (ii) must make open shots; (iii) missing free-throws in the 4^th; (iv) must rotate on D to get the outside shooter, but still come back and box out; (v) lack of assists; (vi) no contribution from the PG spot for most of the game.

White Hot Heat – Part 1: The History of the Miami Heat

Welcome, HeatNation!

As the 2014 Playoffs inch closer, the Miami Heat get set to embark on a historic journey toward a 3-peat. Over the next couple of days, there will be many videos posted on the Eric Reid Quote Blog to get us ready for Miami’s first round matchup against the Charlotte Bobcats.

Today we begin with a classic tribute to the History of the Miami Heat. This documentary, hosted by Eric Reid, takes us through the Heat’s first 20 year journey in the NBA, from 1988 to 2008.

As background into the first round matchup (something you can learn from the documentary) the Miami Heat share a history with the city of Charlotte, as the Hornets were the other team that expanded alongside the Heat in 1988.

But, the present Charlotte team, currently the Bobcats, are not the same Charlotte team with whom we once shared an expansion draft with, nor where the Heat acquired HOF Alonzo Mourning under Pat Riley’s leadership.

This Charlotte team, although they will be changing their name back to “Hornets” for the start of the 2014-15 season, joined the league in 2002, after the original Charlotte Hornets left to New Orleans to become the Pelicans.

As Big Willie Style, AKA Will Smith, AKA “Hitch” once said, “you can’t really know where you’re going, until you know where you’ve been…” With that in mind, take a look at the “History of the Miami Heat” series, and enjoy!
