On Heat opening night, happy to announce that “The Miami Heat: An Illustrated Timeline” is now out. Tons of photos and stories about the Heat, from Day 1 (before it, technically) until now.

Thanks to Reedy Press for this opportunity.

Leo McGarry, if he was at US soccer headquarters today: “I've been walking around in a kind of daze for two weeks and everywhere I go, planes, trains, restaurants, meetings, I find myself scribbling something down.”

He sticks a Pep for America napkin on an easel and yells LFG.

The great Mo Toure, answering a question from @aadelsonESPN, says Miami's defense has to "swarm like a pack of piranhas" against Duke star RB Nate Sheppard this week.

He's one of the best quotes in college football, period.

I guess we will refer to Erik Spoelstra as "5 Down" for the rest of today.

He's made the biggest of big times now: He's a New York Times crossword clue.

Very cool.

[Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds]

That block by Bam … my goodness.

@Siena85 @siena_ny I commend the very smart people who made it happen!

[Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds]

Siena scored 99 tonight in a win at Dayton.

The Saints are back.

[Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds]

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra says new Siena coach Nevada Smith "has an innovative coaching mind."

"Siena fans will love the style of basketball that he coaches, and the players will love it as well," Spo said.

The Heat made clear, they wanted him to get this job.

I counted 10 Celtics players/coaches that Jaylen Brown interacted with (handshake, hug, whatever) before he left the floor. Jayson Tatum was not one of them, though it should be noted that Tatum was doing the NBC walk-off interview at that time.

[Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds]

Jaylen Brown was minus-27 tonight, matching the third-worst regular season plus-minus of his career.

[Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds]

The ninth three-assist game of Aaron Ekblad's career. Only Jonathan Huberdeau, Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk have more in a Panthers uniform.

[Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds]

Sam Bennett. 3-1 Cats late in the 3rd.

Every CFP committee chair, without fail, when asked about any decision only gives some form of "because we say so" as an answer. Fans might deserve a bit more than that.

The CFP committee is announcing, very loudly, that the ACC is not getting two teams in under any circumstances.

[Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds]

It’s his best skill. And always has been. Which is absolutely nuts.

[NBA Communications @NBAPR]

LeBron James' regular-season assists have produced 28,268 points for his teammates.

That nearly matches Carmelo Anthony's career scoring total of 28,289 points, which ranks 11th in NBA history.

University of Miami 2027 Hall of Fame class: football’s Calais Campbell, Kelly Jennings and C.J. Richardson; baseball’s Tom Farmer, Chris Hernandez and Jemile Weeks; track & field’s Charlette Greggs and Devon Hill; and basketball’s Adrienne Motley and Durand Scott.

Bethesda’s men’s team has maybe the wackiest schedule maybe in America.

[Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds]

3 blowout losses, 2 days, 1 program, 0 complaints. The Bethesda men's basketball team does things very differently.

And it turns out, Erik Spoelstra is part of the inspiration for it all.

For the Monday crowd … the week that was.

Inside the Hurricanes' week: Miami loses Toney, then gets handed its first loss of the season https://t.co/fXtqVm7Knx

[Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds]

Wrote in September that Klay is the only NBA player with 200 made 3s in each of the last four seasons (entering this one).

Not sure why anyone would be surprised that he’s on pace to do it again.
