The Miami Heat had the Dallas Mavericks on the ropes in game two of the NBA Finals. And had they held on it would have been the likely end of the series. Would Dallas go quietly into that good night. 2006 MVP and German national Dirk Nowitzki's game said NEIN!! He then owned the velociraptor resembling Chris Bosh with a three and hook shot that said DAS IS SEHR GUT! -Why do … [Read more...] about Dallas Mavericks 95, Miami Heat 93 Finals Game 2: Ich bein ein Nowitzki!

Heat 92, Mavericks 84, NBA Finals Game 1: Do We Really Have to?
-I hate to be a fatalist even though it's just game one, but really? 73% of NBA Finals game 1 winners have gone on to take the series. And the Dallas Mavericks uncanny run of dominance over the Miami Heat only seems to apply in regular-season games. -Dallas led after the first quarter, despite shooting just 29%. They led all the way into the 3rd quarter before collapsing. … [Read more...] about Heat 92, Mavericks 84, NBA Finals Game 1: Do We Really Have to?
Heat 83, Bulls 80: Miami Eliminates Chicago, Heartbreak Becomes Heart Ripping
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?

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
