It's finally that time of year - basketball season!
The Miami Heat battle it out on the court against the Brooklyn Nets in the Week 3 of the 2014 NBA regular season on Monday, November 17 at 7:30 p.m. EST at the Barclays Center in NYC. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Monday night basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.
To kick-off the NBA regular season, the Heat snag the No. 10 spot in Josh Martin's official NBA power ranking for Bleacher Report with a 5-5 winning record:
"The faces involved may have changed, but the intensity of the rivalry between the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers remains. So, too, does some of the ugliness... That is, if Wednesday's 81-75 slopfest was any indication. The Heat actually outshot the Pacers in the loss percentage-wise, but they got their butts whipped on the boards, 53-28... This is hardly a new problem for the Heat. They ranked among the league's worst rebounding teams during the final two years of the LeBron James era, and they currently rank 27th in rebounding percentage in 2014-15... For all that's changed about the Heat post-LeBron, their store of big bodies who can and will battle on the boards remains dangerously thin."
Meanwhile, the Nets currently hold the No. 17 spot (out of 30 total teams), with four wins and fives losses. According to Martin:
"Joe Johnson wasn't wrong when he called out his Brooklyn Nets teammates for their selfish play. His fears were realized somewhat in a 107-99 loss to the Golden State Warriors, during which the Nets assisted on a modest 19 of their 39 field goals while shooting just 43.8 percent... The bigger issue, though, was that Brooklyn gave up 107 points on the other end, including 50 in the paint. The Nets haven't been abjectly terrible on D, but their defensive rank (19th) compared to their offensive one (fifth) would suggest that stopping people is Brooklyn's bigger problem... To that end, Johnson's point about trust is well-taken. 'I just didn't think that as individuals, as players that we all have each other's backs out there,' he said on Wednesday (via ESPNNewYork.com's Ohm Youngmisuk)."
Good defense is predicated on trust. If the Nets don't develop more of that in the weeks and months to come, they'll have a tough time hanging around the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference.
The game will be broadcasted live on local channels YES and SUN, but fans can also listen in on the radio at 790 The Ticket, WIOD, and WFAN.
