This season continues to be one massive cock-punch for the Miami Heat. No matter the day of the week, chances are that somewhere in America, the Heat players are getting their asses handed to them. Small wonder why Dwyane Wade had such a huge smile during the all-star game a couple of weeks ago. It was the first win he’s enjoyed all year. But there he had help from guys like LeBron James and Dwight Howard. Here in the Magic City, he’s got Ricky Davis. Massive cock-punch. But as it is, the Heat needs to keep losing. Because the more it loses, the greater its chance at landing the top pick in the NBA draft.

The Toronto Raptors are in town tonight. The last time these two teams met, Toronto ripped into Miami 114-82. Yes, the Heat sucks. But embracing the suck can deliver us Kansas forward Michael Beasley. He’s a 25-point-, 12-rebound-a-night player who’ll make the pain go away. So bench D-Wade and pass the ball to Davis. It’s go time tonight at 7:30 in the American Airlines Arena.
Wed., March 5, 7:30 p.m., 2008
