Here is my utterly irrational post about a basketball series I watched probably 15 (basketball) minutes of:

Why the Heat Should be Worried they Squandered This Opportunity
Though it may seem obvious to some the Heat will have another chance at a title, I’m not sure it’s so certain. For a variety of reasons. Wade’s fragile body: LeBron has been quite healthy since he came into the league. And Bosh has been reasonably healthy. But Wade – their best player if the …
Media Bias in the 2011 NBA Finals
So maybe I’m just a homer, and I can’t be objective about my second favourite basketball team (I certainly couldn’t be in 2006), but it seemed like everything was “Miami is doing this well” / “Miami isn’t doing this well” and very little was about Dallas.

Raptors Draft History
Good game last night. Actually saw some D. That was great. Yeah, they still can’t rebound. Oh well.
Playoff reform, seriously
Once again I renew my call (which no one answers) for playoff reform in the NHL and in the NBA. In the NHL: No points for losses already. This is so stupid. No other professional league does this, that I know of. It is retarded. There is no rationalization for it. It skews the standings. …
