The Miami Heat have been the talk of the sports field the past month with their incredible 27-game winning streak, but all things eventually will come to an end. The Chicago Bulls spoiled the fun ending the Heat’s winning streak Wednesday night with a 101-97 win at the United Center. The Heat’s 27-game streak is the second longest in NBA history as they came within six games of tying the 1972 Los Angeles Lakers mark at 33. The Heat had not lost a game since the Indiana Pacers defeated them back on February 1st. The Heat still own the best record in the NBA with a 56-15 mark and have a showdown upcoming Sunday night in San Antonio against the Spurs in a possible NBA Finals preview.

We’ll continue to find the best player we can. “We’ve added a couple of great professionals in Jeff Green and Jason Terry, and we drafted three guys that I think are very professional and add to the locker room. Talent is a hard thing to find but we put a great deal of value into what goes on in the locker room also.” Boston Globe

A deal for Evans has been much speculated upon everywhere. But the Kings are said to want a lot and would hardly add the No. 5 pick with him. Maybe you get the pick for Noah. Hardly Evans and the pick. Maybe you get Evans and the pick for Noah and Deng, which would be ridiculous for the Bulls to do. It makes little sense for either side. NBA.com

NBA teams are pushing for Samake to have the opportunity to participate in official games tomorrow and the big man has earned himself more than a few NBA workouts in the coming weeks. Workouts like this can be hit or miss, but they are one of the great aspects of the EUROCAMP, as players of all types get the chance to showcase themselves and make an impression on the army of key basketball people filling the gym. There are very few places in the world a player can just show up and potentially work himself onto the NBA radar screen in a matter of a few minutes, and the Eurocamp is one of them.
