One Hand Clapping

The Miami "Heat" won tonight over a bad Chicago "Horned Cows" outfit. The "Heat" stand at 41-35, the same number of wins they had all of last year. "All": There are only six games left, if the "Heat" won all six they'd have 47 wins, an improvement of only six over last season. Disappointing year for Miami. At least they'll make the 'loffs.

Cleveland won last night in Charlotte. They had lost the night before in Miami. Previous to that they had won five in a row and are an impressive 14-8, good for 62% wins since The Trades. Prior to, they had won 58%. Cleve is 45-30, 10 games behind Toronto. But: Upcoming are the playoffs and they are streaking. Look out.

There is a highly anticipated match in Major League Soccer on Saturday. At 3:00 pm the Los Angeles "Galaxy," with Zlatan Ibrahimovic playing, take on the new model franchise in MLS, Los Angeles Football Club at the StubHub Center. It is the first L.A. Derby and this is going to be a doozy over the years. These are two first-rate, exceptionally well-run clubs. It's very early in the season. LAFC is only 2-0, the "Galaxy" is 1-1-1. The epicenter of North American soccer is now squarely west of the San Andreas fault and the ground will be shaking in Carson for this one.
