The Heat lost five of their last six games. In their latest contest against Chicago, LeBron James failed to close out the game with a layup attempt during the final seconds of the game giving Miami 86-87 loss.
“The Miami Heat is exactly what everyone wanted, losing games,” Wade said. “The world is better now because the Heat is losing.”
This interpretation from Wade raised a few questions for me. Wade aren’t you the captain of this team? Aren’t you the guy who has brought your talents only to …

There are reports coming out of Washington that Gilbert Arenas “faked” an injury going into last night’s preseason game.  Arenas told his coaches that the knee that has cost him to miss a lot of the past three years was bothering him.  After the game Arenas admitted that he “faked” the injury in order to give Nick Young a chance to start.  Gilbert, are you kidding me!!  The Wizards did not give you that enormous contract for you to bring guns into the locker room and make up “fake” injuries …

Nets 90, Spurs 84
What more can I say? As a Sixers’ fan, I was secretly hoping the Nets stayed at 9 wins, so that it would make the Sixers’ franchise look less bad. As a friend, I was truly hoping they got the ten wins, because getting 9 wins in any major professional sport in today’s day and age is straight up embarrassing. Not that ten wins is much better…I’m just sayin. Going further, Basher was able to acquire about 3894 tickets to this game, so a good group went. Losers, …

Knicks 128, Mavericks 94
Wow.
I turned on this game with 5 minutes left in the game, and I have to say that the score I saw was the ABSOLUTE opposite of what I was expecting. Why would I think that? Well, maybe you’ll recall a massive beat down over a month ago in New York in which the Mavericks beat the Knicks by 50! So, naturally, I would expect the Mavericks, a team on a 13-game win streak and on their home floor, to win by 34, not the Knicks.
So what …

The 2009-2010 season has been full of ups and downs for Allen Iverson. First he signed a deal with the young, promising Memphis Grizzlies. Yet, just a week into the season, his contract was bought out, as he wasn’t happy with his role. A short time later, he was reunited with the franchise that he called home for so many years. Emotional at the press conference, it seemed Iverson was finally happy, and that the suffering Sixers might again return to glory…er, mediocrity at least.

Fast-forward some time, and Iverson’s daughter …

Jazz 104, Rockets 95
The Jazz continue to impress out of the gates for the last third of the season.  They didn’t waver over the 4 day break and they came out shooting 50% from the field on the Rockets’ home floor.  Deron Williams, Skills Challenge runner up, dished out 15 assists while Paul  Millsap came off the bench to drop 20 and snag 12 boards (he must have read my underachieving post).
The Rockets continue to slide and are now 27-25.  Maybe once they trade McGrady and get some new pieces …

Wizards 92, Magic 91
Inexcusable Orlando, simply inexcusable.
The Magic led this game 32-13 after the first quarter, and even held a 15 point lead at halftime. That didn’t mean squat to Wizards F Caron Butler, who not only scored 31 points, but he also hit the go-ahead, game-winning basket with 0.5 seconds left. Not only did this shot beat the buzzer, but it was a fade away from the corner and an extremely tough shot. Personally, I’ve been waiting for Butler to turn it on this year, especially with the prospective …
