Let’s start of with some NBA randomness because that’s the feeling the result of Game Three gave me.
My thoughts from left to right, top to bottom:
*For a boy who would grow some 20 meters more, Yao Ming’s face sure didn’t change much, oh, and that’s a real nice Great Wall photo.
*Steve Nash isn’t that old for his photo to be in black and white, right? So either he was already artistic back then, or this photo came from someone’s phone app.
*This Dirk photo has to be around the time the “Hoff” was huge in Germany.
*In that photo of D-Fish, he just got back from the gym.
*Chris Paul: Looking at those sandals, you kinda’ already knew that kid would go places and could get anywhere on the floor.
*Chauncey Billups: I zoomed in, that’s why I noticed it, but that bump on his forehead shows some people are born hard-nosed.
*Andrew Bogut: Krikee! (or however the hell you spell that...)
*Bosh: How’d he get so Boshy??

*Paul Pierce: Who woulda’ thunk a kid with this look would develop so much swag.
*D-Wade: Is that a mouse above his right eye? He already looks so Miami with that bow tie.
Well, nothing else really stands out except that I picture Kris Humphries with that exact same look when Kim K. privately gave him a tour of her behind.

I’m not particularly in the mood to share insights and analysis on Game Three, not because the Heat won (well, at least not entirely), but because if you saw the game, it kinda’ speaks for itself. Two teams deserving to be in the Finals playing like two teams who deserve to be in the Finals. One thing that stands out to me, though, is while the Heat thrive to be on the break, the low scoring that has been the trend through three games tells me that their defense has been dictating the pace. It also tells me that the Mavs, who I thought needed to impose their pace to have a chance, were a better team (yes, I still don’t know exactly how good they really are) than I deemed them to be. Although, apparently, still not good enough to have a series lead which tells me they need to work on imposing their own pace after all.
In the spirit of trying anything to jinx the greatest basketball player to ever wear shoes, this may be his best response at a media type trying to coax him into something.

I hear the dude is a national journalist and not exactly an NBA beat writer, so I guess some of the other media types weighing in on that question are right in saying that’s a case of a writer wanting the players to write their stories for them (which for the most part, the Heat have more than happy to do). So yea...Good job LeBron, you truly are the greatest combination of DNA, style and grace...EVER!

As Kelly Dwyer of “Ball Don’t Lie” points out, Chalmers gets the pass from Haslem with his heels touching the mid-court line, which should have, technically, been a back court violation and would have disallowed the shot. But that happened in the 1st quarter and a ton of things happened between that play and Bosh’s game deciding jumper. And to be fair to refs, it was impossible to spot in real time. So as it turns out, I'm just sayin'.
