NBA: The Miami Heat Won't Win A Championship This Season

The Miami Heat are currently 3rd in the Eastern Conference with a 43-21 record. By the looks of it, it seems like this Heat team can contend for a title during the Playoffs. But if you look closely, you'll see a few interesting statistics that prove that the Heat will have a tough time winning games in the Playoffs.

The big thing is that the Heat are currently 13-17 against teams above .500, but their record looks so good because they dominate against bad teams. They have a 30-4 record against teams below .500. That is pretty impressive but it won't help them in the Playoffs.

Before the season, I didn't predict the Heat to win the title this year, but I kept an open mind. Now, however, I am making a bold statement in saying that the Miami Heat won't win the NBA Finals this season. Maybe they'll win it next season or in a few years, but at the moment, I don't think they have what it takes.

Baller Bio: Shawne Williams

You may have heard of Knicks player Shawne Williams. He's 6'9" and hits nearly half of his 3's. Along with his great 3-point shooting this season (44%), he's averaging 6.4 points and 3.5 rebounds in only 19 minutes a game. Williams has also gotten in an altercation with Ron Artest and a scuffle with Marvin Williams this season. He's been a solid player for the Knicks this season, but let's look at what his career was like before this season.

Shawne Brian Williams was born on February 16, 1986 in Memphis, Tennessee. After a successful high school basketball career, he accepted a scholarship to Memphis. He played only one season at Memphis, putting up averages of 13 points and 6 rebounds a game before declaring for the 2006 NBA Draft.

Williams was drafted by the Indiana Pacers with the 17th overall pick in the draft. He had a less-than-great rookie season with the Pacers with averages of 3.9 points and 1.8 rebounds a game, but noticeably improved the next season with his averages jumping to 6.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in only 14.9 minutes a game.

After two seasons in Indiana, Williams was traded to the Dallas Mavericks. He played only 15 games for the Mavs with averages of 2.8 points and 3.1 rebounds a game while playing limited minutes. Williams was traded midway through the 08-09 season to the New Jersey Nets and was waived by the team shortly after.

After not playing in the 2009-2010 season, Williams accepted a training camp invitation from the New York Knicks over the Charlotte Bobcats and eventually beat out Patrick Ewing Jr. for the final roster spot.

Though not much was expected from him this season, Williams has exceeded expectations and has been a key player in Mike D'Antoni's rotation. Most would agree that he is playing his best season yet and will hopefully keep playing well for the Knicks.

NBA: Knicks waive Corey Brewer & Kelenna Azubuike

The New York Knicks are finalizing a buyout with forward Corey Brewer, who they acquired from the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Carmelo Anthony trade last week. They also waived Kelenna Azubuike, who they got from the Golden State Warriors in the David Lee trade during the offseason. I find these transactions puzzling.

Brewer is a talented player who is capable of helping the Knicks in their playoff run. He averaged 13 points and 3 rebounds with the Timberwolves last season and was putting up similar numbers this season before the trade.

Azubuike is just as talented as Brewer. He hasn't played this season due to injury, but has career averages of 11 points and 4 rebounds in 4 seasons with the Warriors.

Now I can understand why players like Eddy Curry, TJ Ford, Mike Bibby, and Troy Murphy would be bought out by teams but, Brewer and Azubuike don't seem to fit in with them. They aren't overpaid or underachieving (Azubuike is injured, but that's different.

The Knicks used their new extra roster space to claim Derrick Brown off waivers. Brown has played 41 games with the Charlotte Bobcats this season putting up averages of 4 points and 2 rebounds. They are also planning to sign Jared Jeffries, who formerly played for then Knicks. Jeffries is averaging 1.5 points per game and 1.9 rebounds per game.

The Knicks need height, but they just got rid of two good players and replaced them with two okay players.
