It's a good thing I accepted defeat on Tuesday night, and made my peace with it. It really was the very definition of an inoculation for what was to come. Accepting it makes a loss like this, a collapse of 2003 Chicago Cubs proportions, really not hurt as much as it could. If this was a game 7??? Whoah, then it really would be like the scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of … [Read more...] about Heat 83, Bulls 80: Miami Eliminates Chicago, Heartbreak Becomes Heart Ripping

Heat 101, Bulls 93 in OT: Miami up 3-1, at least we have Closure
You may be asking yourself "why the hell does a picture of John Cusack (or more specifically Lloyd Dobler in "Say Anything") lead off an article recapping game 4 of the Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat Eastern Conference Finals?" And it's not because Cusack is from Chicago. Well partially. It really is because game four was all about heartbreak, and doing absolutely everything … [Read more...] about Heat 101, Bulls 93 in OT: Miami up 3-1, at least we have Closure
Miami Heat 96, Chicago Bulls 85: Start Contemplating Doomsday Scenarios?
Remember Chicago Bulls fans, the Bulls haven't lost three in a row all year. So this is not the apocalypse. That was Saturday; and you survived it. Things do look bad- really bad right now, but Thibs will make adjustments. Again this is not the apocalypse, it's not even the 2pacalypse. But the tide has officially turned to Miami Heat favor -Expect every game to be "grindy" … [Read more...] about Miami Heat 96, Chicago Bulls 85: Start Contemplating Doomsday Scenarios?
What Should Lebron James Do? (to Avoid Another Playoff Blowout)
Among the many images we see of the ever present individual brand that is NBA superstar Lebron James, maybe Nike's "What Should I Do?" commercial is the most telling insight into his true personal character. A lot of people misinterpreted it's meaning. And maybe I'm reading it incorrectly as well, but what I see is a young superstar who might be less sure of himself than we … [Read more...] about What Should Lebron James Do? (to Avoid Another Playoff Blowout)
Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat: Eastern Conference Finals THROWDOWN!
In the NBA Western Conference, we have a "broken bracket." The San Antonio Spurs and L.A. Lakers (thank goodness!) went down. But in the East, we have #1 vs. #2, the match-up everyone in the media and the league wanted. The match-up we all expected, a re-match of the 1997 Conference Finals. A match-up like requires the old NBA on NBC them from the '90s. You know it, it's … [Read more...] about Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat: Eastern Conference Finals THROWDOWN!
Lebron Shows Remorse over The Decision, Apologizes to Cleveland
It was one of the biggest PR disasters in the history of Western Civilization. At least from an image management perspective. Whoever green-lighted "The Decision" hopefully lost his/her job, and made Lebron James look like the douchiest man alive (or at least in the NBA) for 2010. And James is finally coming to terms for the way he stabbed the Cleveland Cavaliers in the back … [Read more...] about Lebron Shows Remorse over The Decision, Apologizes to Cleveland

Miami Heat are an UNFAVORABLE Match-up for the Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls might have owned the Miami Heat this regular season, but Chicago fans shouldn't let that 3-0 mark versus the NBA signature villains fool them into complacency. And that's especially difficult; given how the last time the teams met, the Bulls literally made them cry. The cliche is true; NBA playoff basketball is a totally different animal (especially this … [Read more...] about Miami Heat are an UNFAVORABLE Match-up for the Chicago Bulls
Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics: Let the HYPE Begin!
That sound you heard towards the conclusion of Wednesday night’s Heat-Sixers game was the collective pumping of fists from ESPN, ABC and TNT executives, not to mentions those in the NBA’s offices in New York. Yes, the league’s hype meter is about to be sent into overdrive as Miami’s Big Three (more like a Big Two) clinched a playoff date with the Boston Celtics in a … [Read more...] about Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics: Let the HYPE Begin!
Lebron Backlash Over? James #1 in NBA Jersey Sales
LeBron James of the Miami Heat grabbed the No. 1 spot on the NBA’s Most Popular Jerseys list, regaining the top ranking for the first time since April 2004. Does that mean the backlash from "The Decision," quite possibly one of the dumbest PR moves in not only sports but also celebrity history, is now over? Have people forgiven the self-ascribed King, or is his jersey being … [Read more...] about Lebron Backlash Over? James #1 in NBA Jersey Sales
