Those are the words on every Heat-hater’s mind after watching Dwyane Wade and LeBron James celebrate an 88-73 lead with 7:14 left in the fourth quarter, only to squander it away and lose Game 2 last night by a score of 95-93.

The celebration came after Wade had just knocked down a three-pointer beside the Mavs’ bench to give the Heat a 15-point lead.  After hitting the shot, Wade held his right hand in the air for several seconds before standing in as LeBron’s punching bag.  The two appeared to be having a great time, but it didn’t last long.  Dallas responded to the tune of a 22-5 run, led by some clutch shots from Dirk Nowitzki down the stretch, which helped cap one of the greatest comebacks in NBA Finals history.

Coincidentally, the Heat’s collapse comes only one day after the Cavs’ Daniel Gibson said “(LeBron James) might have needed to go somewhere and find someone who is a little greater so maybe he wouldn’t die down in those moments.”  Those words were a response to James saying that he “wanted to team up with some guys that would never die down in the moment,” when asked about his decision to join the Heat after beating the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Here is a look at James and Wade’s early celebration.  Every time I watch this, I can’t help but smile.  What a great way to start a Friday!

During the post-game press conference, Wade was asked about the “celebration.”  We put “celebration” in quotes because according to Wade, holding your hand up in the air 8 seconds after your shot and sparing with a teammate isn’t a “celebration.”  You can hear his full explanation below.

If you thought Shaq’s freestyle ripping of the Laker star was good, you have to see this one.  So what’s her side of the story?  The song will tell you a bit about that:

“I was in Colorado, workin’ at at hotel.  When Kobe rang the bell.

He said bring me some towels.  Then he bent me over a chair, pulled out my hair, and tore out my bowels.”

I wonder if that kind of evidence can be used in court.

Eat your heart out Lil’ Wayne.  There is a new greatest Kobe Bryant song in town.  Her voice is not the greatest, but the Orlando Magic may want to consider getting the young blond to sing the national anthem for game 3.  Maybe while she is there, she can even get Kobe to “tell her why her ass bled.”

P.S.  This may not actually be the girl.  In fact, IT’S NOT!

In a brilliant remix of the original version where Kobe and LeBron babysit Lil’ Dez, the swear-o-meter is through the roof, and we can’t help by drop to the floor in laughter at some of the things Lil’ Dez asks them.  If you ask me, these sound more like the questions that people want answers to.  Here are just a couple of the thing Lil’ Dez was pondering:

“Kobe, what happened in Colorado?  You rape that girl?”

“Damn, you got a pool with no chicks?”

“Damn Kobe, you lookin’ at my d*ck?”

“Kobe, why’s you messin’ with Ron Artest?  You know he’ll f*ck you up.”

“You guys ever shower with John Amaechi?”

Classic!  Maybe he should have asked Kobe what he thinks of Shaq and his useless Twitter messages.

It is about time someone does some real reporting and asks the questions that fans really want to know.  My suggestion is we get Lil’ Dez a mic.  Who’s with me?

I wonder if Dwight Howard will counter with his own x-rated Vitaminwater commercial.

The key to the series for the Lakers would be whether Bryant can take advantage of his 1-on-1 matchup with whoever the Magic decided to put on him.  He certainly did that, posting 40 points to go along with 8 rebounds and 8 assists.  his effort would help get his team out to a commanding lead after three quarters, earning him “The Stat Line Of The Night” for Thursday June 4th, 2009.

The Magic will need to find an answer for Kobe, and they will have an extra day to figure it out with game 2 set for Sunday night.  The Magic did come out hard as well, taking a lead into the second quarter, but it was all L.A. from there.  Now if Orlando hopes to split their opening two road games, they will have to come out with a much better complete game effort.  Expect Kobe and the game to have something to say about that.

The Magic center has become well known for his sense of humor and impersonations, and he showcases those talents in a witty commercial where he exchanges compliments of himself, with himself.  It may sound a bit confusing, but you will understand after watching.

Howard will now have a much larger task at hand as he looks to showcase his other talent (playing basketball) in the NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers.  The Orlando Magic find themselves in a familiar underdog position, and now they even have Shaq routing for the opposition.  That likely wont affect Dwight or his teammates, and if things continue to play themselves out in a similar fashion, it wont be long before they raise the NBA Championship trophy.

“thats right i am saying it today and today only, i want kobe bryant to get number 4, spread da word”

A big change of pace for the big man.  Rather than take on his usual routine of ripping Kobe, or challanging people like Lance Armstrong on twitter, Shaq has decided to make peace with the Lakers superstar through the free social messaging utility.  Maybe for his next message he can comment on Lamar Odom’s candy addiction.

Many of you may be surprised, and some even disappointed at Shaq’s new approach to his former teammate.  I know I am.  I mean, come on now.  This isn’t time to make friends.  Its the NBA finals.  Everyone loves a bitter rivalry, even is they aren’t playing against each other. So for those of you who miss the older ways of Shaq, here is a little blast from the past.  Hey Kobe! Tell me how my ass tastes!

Shaq On Twitter: "I Want Kobe Bryant To Get Number 4"

Odom was great in games 5 and 6 against the Denver Nuggets, recording a double-double in one, and 20 points, 8 rebounds in another.  With the NBA finals set to begin on Thursday, reporters had the opportunity during the layoff to ask Lamar about his candy habit.  His response was as surprising as it was humorous.  Contrary to what doctors have said about sweets, Odom claims that candy has been his breakfast prior to the final two games of the Western Conference finals, his best two games of the series.  So what’s Odom’s take on the doctor’s analysis?  “I guess he’s wrong, even though he is a doctor,” the big man told reporters huddled around him following a practice.

It doesn’t seem like Lamar is going to be giving up the sweet snacks for breakfast anytime soon, but what does coach Phil Jackson think of all this?  When asked whether he would encourage the habit, Phil quickly responded “no.”  He would go on to talk about the horrors he experiences as a parent on Halloween, and the other effects candy can have on individuals.  But Phil, if sugar can make your kids get out of control, just think of how uncontrollable Lamar can be for the Magic defense after a couple bags of Skittles.

So what kind of candy does Odom eat for gameday breakfasts?  In addition to Skittles, he also enjoys Starburst Jelly Beans, and Now and Laters.  I understand Phil Jackson is against this idea of pre-game candy, but don’t be surprised to see him with a bag or two in his pocket, just in case his star forward is having an off night.

Here is the interview with Lamar Odom.

And here is Phil Jackson’s response.
