MISSING officials.
 
 (mia)Coles' career-high 25pts capped victory in home opener, starting
 for injured Smith (knee-surgery) and Shaw (ankle-sprain). (mia)Seikaly
 and especially Salley shut down (njn)Coleman, and (mia)Askins 
 jump-started Mia's transition game.
    Mia started slow, 28pts in the 1st 13.5 min, 2 asst's by the PGs,
 11-20 fts in the half. Askins jolted his team with a 3fg and a tip-in
 to bring Mia within 54-51 at halftime.
    After Njn held their lead thru 77-73 with Petrovic's jumper,
 (mia)Seikaly and Coles put in 10 as Mia took over with a 14-2 run
 in Q3-Q4, and Mia held the lead with strong defense. Coles had 11
 in the deciding Q4, including two 3pt plays. Njn had 5 baskets in Q4.
    Mia rookie Miner (USC) only saw 8 min, all in the 1st half.
 "Harold has a lot to learn," Loughery. "Its going to take him a while.
 [...] And I have to figure out how to get him in the game more."
 Miner, "I want to be out there, but that's the coach's decision."
    Grant Long, restricted free agent, left town without signing.
 He wants a guaranteed 7th year of the $14mil offer, the Heat will only
 guarantee half the year, based on 6th year performance. Long can sit,
 sign, or play for $315,000 to become unrestricted next year. "I dont
 think they're going to offer any more," Long. He doesnt want to sit.
 "$315,000 would be a raise. I know people are saying that I could
 get hurt or may not play as many minutes, but I dont worry about it."
