Everybody but Uterine Device played for Miami--OY vey, K. Guy, H. Highsmith--the whole "Thrillers" roster. The "Heat" led by as many as 23 midway through the 4th when Spo emptied his bench and eased to a 112-99 win over the supposably second-best team in the East. Couldn't be a better start to the four-game gantlet except that...

Kyle Lowry didn't play. "Personal reasons." Missed fourteen games earlier for "personal reasons." Maybe management has details. The fans don't. As one of those latter it is greatly frustrating to be greatly frustrated with the ambiguity when team had these four-in-six days really important games. It tempts you to speculate, it do, but I won't fall into that trap. You can't win. It must be that the catch-all is in the Association's CBA with the NBPA.

"Male Deer" played up tempo Chazz in Beer, and blew the wings off the "Buzz" 130-106. Chazz is in free-fall, 2-13 in their last 15. Chump org, Chazz, chump org. 

As are, and as is, Lake Mistake and its "Cadavers", who have lost 4 of 5, including tonight to the Minnesota "Fighting Saints" by the Lake 127-122. Those two interesting teams play Wednesday night, also by the Lake. Good seats available at popular prices. 

Ruptures blew out the "Nets" in Brooklyn 133-97. Tonto is a schizoid team, 6-4 in their last 10 and sitting 7th. BKLYN is the most dangerous team in the Association when fully healthy and will get talisman K.D. back this week. They are 8th.

🎵 Can you feel the "Heat" down in your soul?🎵
