While You Were Slapping: Heat Stop Bleeding November 12, 2007

This nightly recap thingy won’t last very long, but I got insomnia and for some reason Sandra Bullock’s appearance of The Muppets Tonight came into my head (YouTube doesn’t have the sketch I’m referring to in the title, but this one is just as funny, oh childhood…)
Finally Ready To Takeoff: The Heat finally win one despite Dwyane Wade still away from the lineup. It’s a true sign of what the Miami Heat really are when they have a hard time taking out the Knicks without Zach Randolph. Now, win number 2 should come nicely in January 15th.
Don’t Mess With Texas: So I hear these Southwest division teams are good. They’re so good, they won’t even give sucky teams a chance to upset. Rockets and the Spurs shouldn’t even play sub 500 teams, ever really, why bother? 250 years ago if you told Texans that one day a Chinese, German AND French dude would be beloved in their state — wait don’t do that, you might get shot…
This Just In, Sonics Are Fun To Watch: But you don’t really think they’ll win night in and night out. Kevin Durant and Jeff Green are just flowing and it seems at times the perimeter lockdown players of Detroit can’t ever contain them. However, they’re overall offensive game needs some pointers. Case in point, the first quarter against the Pistons no one took a free throw. I mean that, like Joey Crawford handed them the ball to take the shots and they were like “um, nah, we’re cool”. Some strategy and patience kids.
Elsewheres: The Zards also get that monkey off their backs, by grilling it on the Hibachi… Hornets and Philly got together so that Chris Paul and Iggy could think of a way to play together one day.

So it’s Friday and everyone is partying their ears off probably. Me, I’m going to go to dim sum with a couple pals and then … that’s about it … um, I might go crazy and binge on raspberries… yeah, raspberries, what up.
But all is not lost, somehow, the lords over at NBA.com decided to bless us with live broadcast of all the Summer League games. Tonight has a couple good looking games, Seattle plays at 6pm and Portland goes up at 10pm where we can see some Durant and Oden action. So perhaps I might update here and there with some thoughts on the games as it happens (or not, I might have raspberries overdose)
So if you’re also like me, renouncing Friday nightlife, shout off in the comments here during or after the games with uh.. comments. Everyone else: have a nice weekend, try not to stab any hoboes.
