Below are just a few of today’s headlines in the aftermath of the Bulls’ 93-86 upset in Miami last night. It’s Skip Bayless’ birthday all over again.

Bulls’ Heart Trumps Heat’s Talent

Did LBJ, Heat Give Up Too Early vs. Bulls?

LeBron James On The Trading Block

The last one was obviously a fallacy, but the others are legit. It’s about time too because we haven’t had a Heat Overreaction Day in quite a while.

As the first blasphemy states, the Bulls’ heart trumped the Heat’s talent.

So it was Chicago’s heart that caused Miami, one of the league’s elite shooting teams, to miss 17 of 24 wide open threes? It must have also been the reason the Heat missed eight free throws. Their heart, again, was why Ray Allen and Mario Chalmers put on a clinic on how not to play defense in the playoffs, acting like a couple of bullfighters on a coke binge.

That headline should be shat on. Let’s move on.

Next we have the notion that LeBron James and his team gave up too early. Clearly, the game tightened, the moment grew too large, so LeBron and the Heat caved, at home nonetheless. The editors responsible for those two headlines should be tied to the same pole for ten straight days with only a jumbo jar of mayonaise and a television playing Real Housewives of Albuquerque on loop.

The ridiculously talented DJ Steve Porter gives his remix treatment to the Miami Heat’s even more ridiculous win streak.

At 27 games strong with the Bulls on deck in Chicago, LeBron James and crew are just a plausible handful of games away from leveling the once unattainable 33-game win streak set by the 1972 Los Angeles Lakers. Don’t stray those eyes.

With the Big Dance creeping into view and conference tournaments in full flow, college basketball is at it’s apex. Shane Larkin and the Miami Hurricanes are ready to prove their historic rise through the hoops world is far from over.

How high can these Canes fly?

King James awaits the winner of the intra-squad clash between Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

The purest shooter on this earth against undoubtedly the most explosive guard in The Association. It’s big versus small. Finesse versus power.

Who would win this one-on-one showdown? You decide.

LeBron James can throw it down in violent fashion.

The best dunker to have never competed in the actual NBA Dunk Contest has been violating rims with fury over the last few weeks… during pregame warmups. Here were the best ones.

This doesn’t really need any words…

Sweet James

Bash Bros

For Miami based “rapper” Lil Wayne, it’s time to run for cover.

Hialeah bred emcee LMS placed a haymaker flush to the estranged gremlin’s jaw with his new track title “No Jeggings”. It’s an all out blitz on everything from Wayne’s stature…

Dawg you got something to say about my place?

Then get on a stepladder and say it to my face

To his “style”…

You look like the clothing section of a target blew up,

Came out of the closet and I bet your f*cking closet threw up

After Wayne blasted everything Miami Heat last week, Miami music moguls have been on the offensive, including the iconic Uncle Luke and Trick Daddy. LMS has elevated it to a new level.

The song starts at around the 33 second mark. 

Basketball fans get their dream semifinal as our NBA 1-ON-1 Tournament rumbles along.

Four superstars from the two teams who clashed in last year’s NBA Finals. The first intrasquad matchup is between Dwyane Wade and amigo LeBron James, with Durant vs Westbrook on deck out west.

LeBron has the edge in both size and speed, with Wade’s only hope stitched to his creative ability to assault the rim. While these two have grown into their role as teammates in Miami, only one can survive in this battle for the ages.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, let us recognize the most beautiful wives and girlfriends of Miami athletes, or the Miami WAG…

Heat – Gabrielle Union (Dwyane Wade)

Dwyane still owns Wade County and his lovely model/actress girlfriend, Gabrielle Union, tops the Miami Heat WAG Hierarchy. Keep smiling Mr. Wade.

Dolphins - Lauren Tannehill (Ryan) and Jackie Long (Jake) 

Fans may not have a winning team, but they can root for a fine tandem of Miami Dolphins wives here with two of the stars of Hard Knocks, Lauren (L) and Jackie (R).

Panthers – Melanie Collins (Scottie Upshal)

She gets bonus points for being a Penn State grad. This do it all sports broadcaster has the talent to go along with the looks. Upshall, we applaud you.

Marlins – Christie Sofocleous (Logan Morrison)

Lomo may have had trouble staying healthy the last couple of seasons, but at least he has Christie by his side. Playing for the worst owner in professional sports, he’s going to need her comfort daily.

Tennis – Brooklyn Decker (Andy Roddick)

Yes Andy is retired, but he has a home in South Florida and a hot wife. Retirement ain’t bad for the 30-year-old former tennis star.

LeBron is a stud, we get it. He’s so incredibly good, it has become incredibly easy to talk about how incredibly good he is.

There are other avenues of fascination on this Heat roster as the mostly meaningless NBA regular season comes to a halt for the defending champs. Last season we had Eddy Curry, but this year’s bench entertainment is a little brighter.

Chris Andersen is the Birdman, and last night I followed him like a hawk… Here’s a diary of his every move:

First Quarter

3:23 1st – Andersen checks in for the first time. Note: Joel Anthony can be seen weeping, tracking the vendor down for two Budweisers. 

1:57 1st – Birdman stuffs Jared Jeffries’ layup attempt. He led the NBA in block percentage for the 2009-10 season.

Second Quarter

11:21 2nd – Andersen wildly runs to contest Sasha Pavlovic’s attempted three, forcing the miss. Could there be a greater distraction for a shooter? Must not be any parrots in Serbia. And to think Pavlovic once started on an NBA Finals team. LeBron truly is amazing.

10:59 2nd - Birdman sets four screens on ONE possession, breaking Marty Conlon’s franchise record.

10:47 2nd - Andersen’s closeout on Lamarcus Aldridge’s jumper is not working as well. LA connects on the jumper.

10:06 2nd – Blazer timeout after Ray Allen’s three puts the Heat up 37-35. Anthony gives everyone heading towards the bench a five, but makes absolutely no eye contact with Bird. It’s time for counseling. 

9:53 2nd – Aldridge with another score over our flock of feathers. This kid can play.

9:10 2nd – The Birdman retreats to the nest for some oxygen. He would not return. The Heat would win 117-104 behind stellar play from the Heat’s big three. 

Birdman Box Score: 1 PF, 1 BLK, 6 MIN, 46 SCREENS, 2 LOST FEATHERS
