Last year, we made some rather foolhardy predictions about the NBA finals and ended up with a tattoo of Jason Terry indelibly inked on our pale white ass. So this year, we are avoiding any claims of clairvoyance and appealing to a baser emotion: pure, unbridled hatred.Yes, the Miami Heat…
From being part of one big three to backing up another?Boston Celtics shooting guard Ray Allen’s contract is up. If he doesn’t end up back in green, ESPN New York reports that the ten-time All Star would heavily consider signing with the Heat. Apparently there aren’t hard feelings that his…
Last night the Oklahoma City Thunder’s staff introduced the Miami Heat to the sounds of Star Wars’ “Imperial March.” They intended it as some sort of cheap swipe. I couldn’t help but chuckle. After all, I’ve been rooting for a team that’s incorporated Darth Vader’s theme music into their game…
Game 1 of the 2012 NBA Finals was a tale of two halves.The Miami Heat shot out of the gate strong, hitting shots, making threes and getting a huge game from *record scratch* Shane Battier!But the second half was a whole other bag of salted cock n’ balls as Kevin…
In a serious bid to bolster their Hard Knocks reality show ratings — and an outside chance to firm up the wide receiver position a little — the Miami Dolphins reportedly signed hometown class clown Chad Ochocinco last night. Ochocinco celebrated the best way he knew how: updating his Twitter…
You don’t get much different than Seattle and Miami. The differences are as big as Northwest and Southeast, orcas and alligators, Starbucks and cafecitos, and, very literally, apples and oranges. Yet, might Seattle be the only city in America, outside of South Florida, that will be rooting for the Heat…
Chad Ochocinco was born in Miami and played for Miami Beach Senior High. His career may be about to come full circle, as the Dolphins are seriously exploring the possibility of signing the most interesting man in the NFL. Based solely on potential blog post fodder, Riptide approves of this…
On Saturday, Danell Leyva lost the men’s national gymnastics championship by a mere .05 percentage points, but the 20-year-old Cuban American gymnast is pretty much a lock for a spot on the United States Olympic men’s team. Leyva was edged out by John Orozco, a 19-year-old from the Bronx who…
After blowing up the Boston Celtics Big Three Era (for the second straight season) in last night’s 101-88 Game 7 triumph, the Miami Heat are headed to their second-straight NBA Finals.The Big Three known as LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh scored Miami’s final 31 points, including all 28…
Tonight, at last, it ends: Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals starts at 8:30 p.m., and it may well destroy the world as we know it. Okay, the game may only result in the destruction of a few TV sets and cars in the greater Boston and Miami areas,…
Like the band playing on as the Titanic sank, what remained of the rapidly dissipating crowd last night at TD Garden took to their feet and chanted “Let’s Go Celtics.” A display that will probably be twisted as proof positive that Boston fans are superior in every way to Miami…

On Sunday, The New York Times Magazine published a Q&A and photo spread with Dwyane Wade entitled, “Dwyane Wade Loves His Jordans and His Body Lotion”. That title tells you everything you need to know about this story, in which Wade speaks on his love for baby wipes, “the powders…
Today, Miami gymnast Danell Leyva begins defense of his national championship title as the country’s best gymnast as he inches closer toward his quest of becoming the first Cuban American member of the USA team at the Summer Olympics in London. This 20-year-old is a beast.He is the reigning 2011…
This is a silly, stupid little post to be writing. The Heat will of course stage a magnificent comeback tonight and go on to emerge victorious in the finals, because whatever powers that rule the universe will decide to give Miami, this muggy land of hurricanes, poverty, foreclosures and zombie…
Holy fucking ass clenching horsefuckery, this team!!The Miami Heat had everything in its favor. A game at home. A 13-point lead in the second quarter. A 9-point lead in the third. The Boston Celtics stars struggling on offense. A chance to go up 3-2 and force Boston to win two…
Was I in the right place?Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals had just started, and the denizens of On The Rocks Sports Bar in Miami Beach couldn’t give a shit. Well, that’s not entirely true. The older woman seated to my right at the bar — with her baby…
A good chunk of the sports media and NBA fandom relishes holding up LeBron James as the biggest sports villain that ever did live, so much so that every little flaw is blown up out of proportion and presented as proof that he falls somewhere on the evil spectrum between…
A masseuse died at Chris Bosh’s Miami Beach home on Sunday morning, according to Local 10. The cause of death has not yet been released, but according to a Miami Beach Police report, that woman had battled cancer less than a year before…

Hialeah Gardens’ Mater Academy senior Albert Almora has one hell of a choice on his hands this morning — whether to become a star playing college baseball for his hometown Canes, or whether to take an estimated $3.25 million bonus to join the Chicago Cubs system.Almora tells the Miami Herald…
Chris Bosh is coming back for Game 5 of the Heat-Celtics series, according to ESPN. We haven’t been this excited about anything Bosh-related since he first signed with the Heat, because good basketball lord the Heat seriously need something to get them over the hump and finish off this series…
