Russell Westbrook. Dwyane Wade. Paul George. Same old shit, different day. I’m seeing my homie Everett D wearing this back in the day.

We used to call these ankle beaters. Apparently, D-Wade believes this is fashion. Seriously, is Gabby Union dressing this man?

I know there are some idiots out there. But sometimes I’m still surprised at how far they will go to confront pro athletes.
Props to Joakim Noah for not rearranging the mug of the psycho accompanying equally psychotic Filomena Tobias at Game 2 of the Bulls-Heat contest after Noah got ejected. Just a little too close for comfort.
Speaking of Tobias…

No question. Besides, the less we hear and see of Lil Wayne’s shit-on-ice cream look and his ignorance the better. Rihanna, who we hope has finally rid herself of troubled soul Chris Brown, was among the folks cheering on the Heat in today’s blowout of the Bucks.

Like the NCAA Tournament, some NBA player makes a name for himself during the playoffs. Stephen Curry, 1 of the best shooters we’ve ever watched and 1 who almost helped the Warriors stun the Nuggets today in Denver, could be 1 of those players. Writer Shaun Powell compiles a good list of some who might emerge. Another name we would add to it is San Antonio forward Kawhi Leonard. He isn’t spectacular at anything but good at plenty of things.

The Heat are the overwhelming favorites to win the NBA title again, and why shouldn’t they be? We’re hard-headed though. Actually, we’re sticking with our betting slip.
Eastern Conference
Heat over Bucks in 5; Nets over Bulls in 7; Pacers over Hawks in 5; Knicks over Celtics in 6.
Heat over Nets in 5; Pacers over Knicks in 6.

Thunder over Clippers in 6; Spurs over Nuggets in 5.

Championship: Spurs over Heat in 7.

We knew Laker fans would lower themselves to such things, but are you kidding us?
Although Laker fans are all giddy (hmmm, last time that’s happened?) with the No. 7 seed, do they really believe this squad is actually capable of anything in the NBA playoffs? Forgive us. I lost $5 to my old lady cuz I bet the Lakers wouldn’t make it, so maybe I’m a little bitter. And I surely forgot how the NBA sometimes figures into these things.
They don’t want to face my homies and the OKC Thunder. They want no part of that can of whip ass. Russell Westbrook again? Oh no, let’s take Timmy Duncan and his choir boy friends. Is that you T-Mac?
Some folks believe the Lakers are better off (is that you Magic Johnson?) making the playoffs instead of tanking for the lottery, like many of us dreamers gamble on everyday. But Dwight and the boys failing Kobe on the final night of the regulation…well the suicide hotline would have been working overtime.
The Lakers are 200-1 to win it all. Your point is?
We’re also pissed seeing the Spurs getting 8-1 since we bet them at 4-1. Someone trying to tell us something? Didn’t think so.

We imagine Jerry West is having a little bubbly tonight, but what about Pat Riley?
Tip of the cap to the Heat. All the hate I’ve been reading on Twitter (and other outlets) makes me shake my head. Regardless of whether you hate them or not, you can’t deny their place in history, compiling 1 of the greatest streaks in sports. They also remain the favorite to win it all in June.
Still, 33 in a row…

They lead the league in points in the paint, mainly because they blow past defenders in their sometimes high-octane offense. The Nuggets won in Oklahoma City tonight by 10 and made them prime candidate to nail that No. 3 spot in the West. Laker fans, some of them still dreaming dreams of grandeur, want no parts of Denver. Go ahead Warrior fans.
Did we mention the Nuggets have captured 12 in a row? Didn’t think so.

With the latest toast coming at the expense of a Canadian club, Miami has now won 22 in a row. Should the old Lakers of 33 straight be shaking in their boots? Uh, no. One test of the streak comes Monday when the Heat visit the C’s.
But the NBA this year? Well, yeah. The Heat are huge favorites to repeat, particularly as they continue to play like this.
Makes us foolish dropping a quarter on the Spurs at 4-1 (from 5-1 on 2nd night of my last Vegas venture, sum bitches) to hijack the title, no?
