Once again, the Wizards offered little resistance on defense. A couple nights ago the Philadelphia 76ers scored 153 in regulation over the little defense the Wizards offered. As the game today evolved the only interesting question seemed to be whether the Heat will break that threshold or not. At halftime, the Miami Heat were right […]

It's always good to beat the Heat. Heat fans have certainly come down a peg from how puffed up they were during the Heatles era. It's so funny how they went from the Celtics have no answer for Bam to wanting him gone and calling him pathetic. It really surprises me how much they don't like Spoelstra. He's a top 15 all time coach. Describing Scheierman as the guy with the mullet and the stache cracked me up for some reason. My favorites are in bol...
