Forums Back Up; MiamiHeatwave is Back!

Just dusted off the forum and removed all spam for your basketball pleasure. It’s about time, yes, but we’ve been a little distant from basketball, with the lockout and all.

As the Heat are going through practices and getting ready for their 66 game season, starting on Xmas day, we are gearing up as well. We will be looking at the roster, who is slated to start and play off the bench. Also, we’ll be keeping an eye on the rest of the league as they try to play catch up with the Heat. See you on the Heatwave!

A Newly Designed Miami Heatwave: We Got a Facelift

Since our inception in 2004, we have always strived to bring new and exciting things to the Miami Heat community. We overhauled our forum to offer a sleek new design with lots of new gadgets and things to make your experience more engaging and fun. We added the functionality of creating accounts with Facebook and Twitter. We have a gallery where you can upload your own pictures. We also have a community blog section where you can write your own blog and share with the rest of the community online.

And to keep up, we totally redesigned our front page to have a better, more exciting look to match what the Heat have been able to do this offseason in bringing Lebron James and Chris Bosh to south Florida to play with Dwyane Wade! So, take a look at the new layout and tell us what you think!

How Embarrassing! Forum is Back Up!

Sorry everyone for the interruption in service – we accidentally forgot to pay the bill and the lights went out! How embarrassing!

So, back to the forum…

Shameless Promotion: RUN DLC New Moniker for Dwyane, Lebron, and Chris

designed by JonnylonsOk, so I have been thinking of nicknames for the newly christened “Three kings” of Miami. I liked the Triumvirate, being a teacher myself and teaching Latin along with Roman history. I can tell you that the first triumvirate didn’t end well, and destroyed the Republic of Rome and sparked what would become an empire. The second triumvirate wasn’t really much of a triumvirate and it ended in civil war. Marc Antony died alongside his most famous mistress, Cleopatra. Of course, this lead to the rise of Octavianus from his adopted father Julius Caesar’s shadow to become Augustus, the first emperor of Rome (and arguably its greatest).

Let’s hope this latest trifecta, ahem, triumvirate, doesn’t prove to be as dramatic. Well, at least not in a negative way. So, to kind of push things in a different direction, I am going to call these three RUN DLC. An homage to hip-hop legends RUN DMC, of course, and inspired by Dwyane, Lebron, and Chris – if we can go on a first name basis.

This, obviously, isn’t the first time that a basketball nickname referenced the legendary hip hop threesome. Back in the early 90′s, Tim Hardaway (Heat great), Mitch Richmond (South Florida resident), and Chris Mullin formed an exciting offense known as RUN TMC. Although those three were extremely fun to watch and talented, they never quite were able to win the ultimate prize – a championship. Hardaway’s knees had something to do with that, but off he went to Miami via a trade and the rest is Heat History.

So, to bring all of this together and have all these interesting references is an interesting way to watch this team build itself into a dynasty. We will be watching for the next 6 years at least as the trio builds on that special bond they have and the desire and focus to win championships. So, run on, Dwyane, Lebron, and Chris. RUN DLC. We are right there with you.
