Arguably no moment better exemplifies the recent fall of the Miami Heat than this: Thursday, when the NBA named its Players of the Month for March, Bam Adebayo was not even a nominee.
The "Heat" are 3-8 since Bam Adebayo's 83-point explosion vs Lizards in Bleak House March 10. Today these two fine examples of basketball ineptitude renew acquaintances in the same venue for the first time since that epochal event that everybody ignores. "Heat" are -17.5. I would lay money on the Lizards to cover.
Florida Man: Iran has "no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated."
National address April Fool's DaySec. Defense Pete Henpecked March 4:
"in under a week" the U.S. and Israel would have "complete control of Iranian skies."
"It means we will fly all day, all night, day and night..."Iran will be able to do nothing about it."
Henpecked March 13:
Iran "has no air defenses. Iran has no air force. Iran has no Navy. Their missiles, their missile launchers and drones being destroyed or shot out of the sky. Their missile volume is down 90%. Their one-way attack drones yesterday, down 95%."
And then today...

White House says Trump won’t appear before press on Friday
The White House at 4 p.m. EST called a “lid” for press, indicating the president would not be making any appearance in front of the media for the day.
The call came hours earlier than normal and signaled the president and White House are remaining tight-lipped as the search-and-rescue mission continued.
Florida Man, why? Why not a second national address in two days? Is it because you're SCARED?
9:22 am:
"We're fighting wars. We can't take care of day care. ...Medicaid, Medicare..."
"...at this point – win in play-in round, lose in play-in round, wind up being bounced around again in the first round of the playoffs – if the message is not clear already to the front office, then something is wrong. This team is not good enough. This core is not good enough. Squeezing into the playoffs, when eight of 15 in each conference advance, is little more than a badge of mediocrity. If there already is not a blueprint of change circulating through the front office, then hope will remain an abstract. It should not take the play-in round for a wakeup call to resonate. No matter when it ends, short of another NBA Finals Hail Mary, change has to be at hand."
Not a good roster, and a coach who insists on pushing the same button when those buttons simply aren’t working.
Those are as critical as Ira has ever been. Taking a shot at Eric Spoelstra yesterday.

Bond girl Bondi thought that AGs were forever, but those Epstein pics of Dr. Donald with pussy galore were supposed to be for her eyes only. Could this thin thunderball land another gig on his majesty's secret service? Never say never.

‘I Don’t Care About That’: Trump Says Iran’s Enriched Uranium Is Not a Concern because "it's so far underground."
President Trump’s statement was the second time in 24 hours that he had declared that the nuclear problem with Iran had been solved, despite all evidence to the contrary.
Iran will assassinate Trump.
It could be before his term is up. Or it could be after. But they will get him.
Among the multitude of "norms" that Trump has broken, the assassination of heads of state is the norm de guerre here.

Monday offered the president an opportunity to explain and justify the war he’d started. He appeared far more interested in the White House decor.

"Trae Young was traded for basically nothing. We see this time and time again -- the flashiest offensive impact in the draft doesn't necessarily end up winning the most." --Western Conference executive.
The Atlanta Majestic Soaring Birds of Prey, formerly the Pigeons, ne "Hawks" drafted star Trae Young with the fifth pick in the 2018 NBA draft. Young became a four-time All-Star and third team All-NBA point guard with Atlanta. In his eight full season Young averaged 25.2 points per game.
But Atlanta went only 221-272 over Young's career. On January 9, 2026 Atlanta traded him to the the Washington Lizards, formerly the "Wizards, ne "Bullets" in exchange for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert.
It is conventional wisdom in evaluating trades involving multiple players that the team that gets the best player wins. Five cups of weak coffee do not make a pot of strong coffee. By this measure, D.C. won the trade. The Lizards are tanking and have shut Young down for the season in pursuit of the abyss. McCollum has averaged 19.5 ppg over a thirteen-year career, and is 34 years old. Kispert, 27, is a career 10.9 guy.
But the CW was wrong this time. The trade of Young was addition by subtraction for Atlanta. 19-21 at the time of the trade they have soared to a 24-12 record without him and the sixth spot, in the playoffs without having to go through the play-in, in the Middle East. Atlanta won this trade.
