Home Advantage

Two weeks ago, the Miami Heat opened the 2010 NBA season against the Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics. It didn’t go very well. Rust and a rabid Boston crowd hit the Heat. It was like a perfect storm of deficiency and doucheyness. A powerful case of the suck struck Dwyane…

Flash No More

Dwyane Wade has long been known ’round these parts as Flash. It was a moniker Shaquille O’Neal bestowed upon him when the Big Diesel signed with the Miami Heat in 2004. At the time, it seemed an appropriate nickname for D-Wade. He was a young, up-and-coming star in the making…
