It's your opinion but I think you have the hornets too low and the heat too high

Awesome username

Yeah, if Miami isn't healthy (cough cough D-Wade) then I could see Washington winning the division while the Heat slip a little bit. If they can stay healthy, though, I think they're gonna be a lot better than some people are expecting. I watched the new episode of Open Court last night and a couple of them didn't even have Miami making the playoffs this year.... I don't think it's gonna be that bad.

Yeah man I just got a writing position there about a month or so ago. Like 5-6 years ago I did some game previews/recaps for them too, my old handle used to be CelticBalla32 (which is awful haha).

What's your handle over there?

Dont think Ive ever bothered to have one. I used to be on RealGM celtics board quite a bit but don't post there much anymore either. I remember the CelticsThug craziness around the KG trade. Hilarious. I had my own blog and was offered a job with FanSided but declined.

Hahaha CelticsThug... good times. I think he made his presence felt with the Allen Iverson rumors, too lol. He had the whole fan base on lock

That's cool though, do you still write at all? I was with FanSided's hip hop site for a little while this year but I stopped to focus on basketball.

I write a bit. Not as much as I used to with work obligations. Plus me posting on here as much as I do probably saps a bit of my creative energy.
