If you are a fan of the Miami Heat, you probably shared Ty Lawson’s frustration. Kevin Durant picked up a silly fifth foul with over 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but Scott Brooks left him in the game due to the magnitude of the situation. Lucky for him, the Heat did not consistently try to get Durant out of the game with a sixth foul, giving him the chance to shine once again, and did he ever.

A twitter user named Brian Rogat (@brogat) asked an interesting question last night: is this the first (modern) professional sports finals (NBA, MLB, NFL or NHL) where neither team ends in ‘S’? He was referring to the Heat and Thunder matchup, and as noted by Deadspin, the names of these teams can cause a dilemma for copy editors. So what is the answer to Rogat’s question? Chris Sheridan modified the question to make it any most recent pro team, and the answer was, in

Tweet of the Day: Jermaine O’Neal

I wonder why its ok for a 14 year old to play pro golf but a basketball player has to be 2 years removed from high school!

Jermaine O’Neal, a prep-to-pro himself,  has always been in favor of letting high school players come straight to the NBA and often expresses his displeasure of the rule change, in which a player must be at least one year (not two) removed from high school to enter the draft. He wonders why an 18-year-old can vote and go to war, but can’t choose his livelihood in the NBA. The once-dominant big man further expressed his thoughts on the matter today,

LeBron James had a solid game with 30 points, nine rebounds and four steals, but Dwyane Wade had yet another off-night, needing 19 shots to score 19 points and often settled for jumpers rather than attacking the basket relentlessly, the way Russell Westbrook did in the second half of the game. Wade is now shooting 40.2 percent over his last six games, and the Heat have gone 2-4 in that stretch. Simply put, he will have to find a

Tweet of the Night: Chris Kaman

If you take a look around Chris Kaman’s twitpics, it’s not hard to figure out that the man has a bit of a wildness in him. Among the pictures you will find are of him kissing a snake, holding a dead bobcat as well as skinned deer meat. One thing for certain is that he won’t be posing for PETA anytime soon. Kaman showed his colorful character again when he posted the rather unpleasant sounding tweet above that contained a

Heat vs. Thunder Finals. LeBron vs. KD for the whole enchilada. This is why the lockout needed to be lifted. #howu

So be it. Heat advance, and begin immediate preparation for the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Celtics looked sluggish in the second half, and it was truly a disappointing loss, especially considering their cloudy future. The Heat are the better team, and it showed tonight, especially with Chris Bosh in the lineup. The storyline is this; LeBron James vs. Kevin Durant. Yes, both teams are great, and players like Russell Westbrook, Dwayne Wade, James Harden, and Chris Bosh are all

For the record - even if the Celts lose tonight, I'd bet anything that KG, Pierce & Rondo are in Boston next season.

Might I add, he later stated he does not expect Ray Allen to return, which has much to do with the emergence of Avery Bradley, as well as the opportunity he has to land one last pretty contract. Regardless, this doesn’t necessarily look like a make or break year to me for the Celtics anymore. Yes, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett are getting old. But they have at least a few years left in the tank before they slide,

There was no basketball game to watch tonight, so most of the players around the league had a bunch of random things to say that weren’t quite noteworthy. Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals couldn’t come soon enough. Luckily, Paul George came through with a plug for his little cousin, who demonstrates her singing ability on youtube for our entertainment. Click the link and enjoy.
