Long haul?

Anyways, let’s not bother so much with what happens with your portfolio investments for the long haul. For now, just be happy that you’ve mastered a new term.

1. LeBron James stayed fairly quiet when the Orlando Magic questioned his competitiveness this summer.

James and his new team presented an emphatic response Friday night.

Dwyane Wade scored 26 points in Miami’s home opener, James had 15 points and seven assists and the Heat scored the first 14 points of the second half to turn a close game into a surprisingly one-sided 96-70 victory over the Magic....

When the Heat acquired James this summer, Magic president of basketball operations Otis Smith uttered a now-infamous-in-Miami line: “I was surprised that he went. I thought he was, I guess, more of a competitor.”

They competed, all right, from start to finish.

“We heard everything Orlando had to say about us in the offseason,” James said. “It’s not like it’s satisfying. I’m not relieved, because it’s a long season. But they know we’re here for the long haul. We know they’re going to be there also, but this is a different Miami Heat team. There’s only so many words to be said. At this point, the ball has to be thrown up now.”
