The “Heat” won one tonight. In the World’s Greatest City. At then Barclay’s Center. Great venue. Terrible team. The Curse of the Trade. To get into the NBA the “Nets” had to trade Dr. J, Julius Irving. That franchise has been woebegotten ever since. Have just sucked. You can’t trade an in-a-lifetime player without the sporting gods damning you for eternity. It is the first, deadliest sin in sport. Ask the BoSox: the Curse of the Bambino.

While NYN suffer the curse they still had a better record going into tonight’s game than did Miami. Imagine: looking UP at the “Nets.” Speaks loudly of Miami’s miasma, looking up at the “Nets” does. “Heat” are ahead of the Woebegottens now. By a half game. In tenth place. AFTER the win tonight Miasmi is in tenth place, a half game ahead of the “Nets.” A win that VAULTS you ahead of the “Nets” into TENTH place, that is a win that births sheepishness. 120-107 the finale. Didn’t check the team stats. No interest in checking the team stats. Embarrassing to check the team stats in one win overbthe “Nets” after three straight L’s. Wake me up when Miasmi wins five or ten in a row and I’ll check the team stats. Until the next schizoid performane, the seventh, or eighth, who’s counting, tinker, tailor, coaching failure, good night.
