The Miami Heat a.k.a. Two and a Half Men are proving that a team is more than the sum of its parts. They simply can't make up the lack of depth and late game defense. It's only a matter of time before they grow tired of LeBron's (the NBA's version of Randy Moss) attitude and Bosh's pillowy soft interior play.

Raptors made the Timberwolves look like contenders tonight.
Dinos have lost eleven in a row. So much for any optimism I once had.

The Lakers late game defense against the Celtics is pure comedy.
There's alot of guys who could be considered for MVP. I'd go with Derrick Rose atm, but let's not forget about Dwight.

damn! what a performance. His MVP chances are getting bigger and bigger.
that's a nba-season-high, after the 47 of Durant and Griffin.

haha this is what you get when you are making fun of lebron mister howard. the mvp went to work. with pietrus orlando gave away the only defender to guard wade or lebron. both lebron and wade blocked howard big time. but again miami led by more than 20 and let it become a close game. they have to keep their focus down the stretch. could have been a blowout instead nearly ended in overtime. held my breath when i saw wade go down hard after howards foul. good that he came back. aahh and mcdyess you made my day

Co-sign on that!
LeBron's totals hide the fact that they once again have a lot of trouble closing out the games. It also hides the fact that Chris Bosh is NOT an all-star player this year. Compare him with All-Star Snub and fellow off-season FA Carlos Boozer and it's easy to see:
Boozer: 19.8 ppg
Bosh: 18.4 ppg
*this is a little more than Boozer's career average. It's the opposite for Bosh, but not bad.
Boozer: 10.2 rpg
Bosh: 8.1 rpg
*this is inexcusable for Bosh. There's no other person on the team taking boards from your totals. No reason for CB not to be an easy double-double average player
Boozer: 2.3 apg
Bosh: 1.9 apg
*this actually suprized me. I would've expected Bosh to be around 4 apg given his teammates.
BTW: The biggest stat of all??? Boozer: 5 yrs 80 mil (est.)/ Bosh 6 yrs 110 mil (est.)
Shout out to Andre Miller... the NBA's Bitch of the Week
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/04/andre-miller-blake-griffin_n_818807.html
The NBA All-Star game rosters were revealed on Thursday and there's at least one player in the league who does not agree with them.
Portland's Andre Miller ripped Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin to Jason Quick of the Oregonian and said he was chosen because of money.
"They are putting this guy on every ESPN highlight. Yeah, it's cool because fans want to see that, but you isolate him from his team," Miller said. "Especially, he ain't made nobody better. It's basically his rookie year, as an All-Star? LeBron James didn't make an All-Star team as a rookie."Miller also said Griffin making his first All-Star team is a "slap in the face" to teammate LaMarcus Aldridge and that the league doesn't "appreciate the blue collar workers." Aldridge is averaging 21.3 points and nine rebounds per game for the Blazers. Griffin is scoring 23 points and grabbing 12.7 rebounds per game in his rookie season.
FUCK'ATTA HERE WIT'DAT BULLSHIT!!!!!
YOU MAD, ANDRE MILLER???????

Boozer is putting up those numbers despite the fact he missed the first month of the season
Article in my paper today says Love can top the record for average in rebounds and 3-point percentage if he stays on pace. Who gives a phuck if the Wolves suck smelly elephant scrotum; Love is a beast. Fuck the NBA, it's racist.
Not racist, it just doesn't reward fundamental players...except Duncan.
