MIAMI -- By now, the Miami Heat know a thing or two about planning championship celebrations. Theyre getting a fair amount of practice. A pair of 3D videos that will turn the court into a theatre screen and even the infamous yellow rope -- which got attention for all the wrong reasons in Game 6 of last seasons NBA Finals against San Antonio -- will be part of the show Tuesday when the Heat distribute their newest championship rings and raise another commemorative banner to the rafters before the teams season-opener against the Chicago Bulls. For the Heat, its their third banner-raising party in seven years, and the second one theyll hold in a span of 12 months. "Its a tremendous amount of pressure to live up to the expectations that we set for ourselves as an organization," said Michael McCullough, the teams executive vice-president and chief marketing officer. "Id say its much more internal-based than external." Elements of the team introduction video have been teased in social media, but not much in the way of details -- especially about the rings -- have leaked out publicly. One known piece of the party is that yellow lanyards, a reminder of the rope that security personnel used to cordon off the court in the last seconds of regulation of Game 6 as it looked the Spurs were about to clinch the title, will be part of a fan-giveaway item. Those security workers had to retreat, and take the rope with them, when Ray Allen made a 3-pointer with 5.2 seconds left in regulation to cap a wild Heat comeback and tie the game, which Miami wound up winning in overtime. The rope has been a talking point around Miami ever since. "Its a nod to the importance of that element," McCullough said. The Heat will wear specially designed warm-ups and uniforms, all with gold effects to signify the colour of the championship trophy. The jersey will only be worn on opening night, and is one of 10 that the team plans to wear at various times this season. The team will also be offering a wide range of championship-themed jewelry, including rings, to fans for purchase. All the looking-back is nice, but to the players, whats going on before the game takes a back seat -- for good -- once the new season starts for real. "After we get our rings, thats last year," Heat star and four-time NBA MVP LeBron James said. James made no secret about how much he enjoyed last years ring party, and he and Heat players have said some of the elements that they know about, such as the player video, meet with their approval. "Im going to see some of it, obviously," James said. "Im going to watch a lot of it and I dont take it for granted. We did some special things last year and this is an opportunity for us to look back at it one more time, but I definitely wont lose sight of whats in front of me." Golden Tate III Youth Jersey .J.

Cushing was injured in the third quarter of Sundays loss at Kansas City during a low block by running back Jamaal Charles. Its the second straight year Cushing has been lost for the season with a left knee injury. He tore the anterior cruciate ligament in the same knee in Week 5 last season. Its a devastating blow for a team that has lost five games in a row heading into its bye on Sunday. "I think he was playing at a defensive player of the year-type of level," coach Gary Kubiak said. "Then here he goes again, hes got to go through this. So I know its very difficult for him ... (and) I know Cush will do everything he can to get back. But you hate to see anybody go through that especially twice now." The Texans signed Cushing to a six-year contract worth $55.6 million before this season. Kubiak said injuries to left tackle Duane Brown (ankle), running back Arian Foster (hamstring) and Ben Tate (ribs) arent serious. Tate was injured in the third quarter on Sunday but returned and finished the game. He told The Associated Press on Monday that he has four broken ribs. He was in a lot of pain, even wincing when he took off his sweatshirt, but said that he expects to be ready to play when Houston hosts Indianapolis on Nov. 3. "Ill be OK," he said. Kubiak also said rookies Cierre Wood, Sam Montgomery and Willie Jefferson were released for violating team rules. He wouldnt specify what the players did, but did say it wasnt just one thing. "I make decisions based on a body of work in everything I do," he said. "Ive got five months of work invested with those three young men and I made a decision today to move forward. Weve got some thingss we need to address as a football team.dddddddddddd" Wood is a running back who was third on the depth chart after making the team as an undrafted free agent. With Foster and Tate both banged up, the Texans will need to add depth at that position with one of the open roster spots. Montgomery, a third-round pick, and Jefferson, who was undrafted, are both linebackers. "Weve got some rebuilding to do inside with some issues and weve got some special teams issues," Kubiak said. "So the moves that we make have got to be special teams-oriented to help (special teams coach) Joe (Marciano)." Players wouldnt discuss why the three were dismissed from the team, but said they agreed with Kubiaks decision. "Its a shame," linebacker Brooks Reed said. "But its for the betterment of the team." Another issue for the Texans is the health of quarterback Matt Schaub. Schaub struggled this season before missing last weeks game with ankle and foot injuries. Former third-stringer Case Keenum got the start on Sunday in his first NFL game. He performed well for most of the game before a fumble late in the fourth quarter sealed Houstons loss. Kubiak was cagey when asked if Schaub would start after the bye if hes healthy. "Ive got to sit down and look at our situation and whats going on right now," he said. "Obviously Matts our starting quarterback, Case played this week because Matt wasnt healthy. Case went in and played extremely well. Im going to sit down on our bye week and evaluate where were at as a team and move forward from there." But he did rave about Keenums performance against the undefeated Chiefs. "To go in Kansas City in that environment and that noise and handle the football team the way he handled it I thought was impressive," Kubiak said.
