They didn't win 22 in a row although they were close. They won 22-23 with only a loss to Dallas in the middle between the end of nov into the beginning of january. Arroyo started but chalmers would get the end of the game minutes. Arroyo plays no defense.

The only team they beat during this run was LA during a period of time LA was playing awful.

As you can see...Arroyo was,in fact, the facilitator.

Arroyo versus Chalmers....

another situation where there is no winner, only a loser.

Word is that Miami could be adding Mike Bibby (almost a done deal) and Troy Murphy this week.

Wasn't the trade deadline last week?

Pretty sure they can pick players up off waivers through tomorrow?

They are being bought out by the teams they were traded for. In simple terms they pay them to go way so they can use their salary number which gives them greater cap space moving forward. Once they clear waivers they are free to sign with any team for I believe a pro-rated amount of the league min.

That being said the 2011 versions of Bibby and Murphy are't huge upgrades though they are capable NBA vets who may be able to contribute something in limited minutes.

The wizard got an awesome deal. Their cap number is down to like 38 million.

Maybe they will lower ticket prices

Bibby would start for Miami. No?

Chuck I disagree. Bibby is exactly what you said they need. He can hit a 3 and run the offense. Bibby, even at this stage of his career is a huge pick up. Troy Murphy cant hurt either. His game reminds me a lot of my game. Limited minutes?? Bibby would play 30 plus minutes a game.

No he was Carlos Arroyo, cheap help because they need to bodies to fill the roster. He is averaging 3 assists in 22 minutes a game this year. (that is not good btw)
