Foregone Conclusion

Well, the Wiz blew it last night all but ensuring a sweep and second round exit from the playoffs. Here are some things I noticed:

-Even with Shaq out of the lineup for the Heat, the Wiz still played defense like a bad rec team, allowing Wade to score at will. Hell, even Udonis Haslem looked good.

-Do you think that Udonis Haslem's mother wanted his name to be pronounced like Adonis, but was too stupid to spell it correctly?

-Why do the papers insist on using Heat as a singular noun. For example: "The Heat scorches the Wizards." The term Heat refers to the team, thus it is a plural noun. You would not say "The Wizards is not playing defense" (unless you were the sports writer for the Ebonics Morning Herald).

-Do you realize that the Heat have the top 3 draft picks from the 1992 draft? Shaq, Mourning, and Laettner. All they need are Jimmy Jackson and LaPhonso Ellis to round out the top 5.

-Michael Ruffin's head is simply huge.
