The Morning After Spill: Bargnani and Bosh Lead Huskies Over Heat 111-103

The Raptors are clearly past the point of even considering a Chris Bosh trade.  CB4 pulled down a season high 18 rebounds in support of his 24 points, and Bargnani led the Raptors in scoring with 27.

Dwayne Wade was the winner on the fantasy score sheet, he finished with a double-double for the third time in four games.  Wade led all scorers with 35 points and 10 rebounds and threw this dunk down, uncontested:

Sonny Weems filled in nicely for DeMar DeRozan in the starting lineup, picking up 10 points in his first career start.  Antoine Wright put the game out of reach with a late 3-pointer on a dish from Jose Calderon.

Paul Shirley Hates On Haiti, Loses ESPN Gig

You’re excused if you have trouble remembering former Chicago Bulls bench body Paul Shirley, he was less than excellent in a couple of 10-day stints.  Shirley moved on to writing about sports after his playing career was cut short by suckage, he even had a nice freelance spot with ESPN.  Shirley’s writing career may be coming to an abrupt end, too.  Shirley was let go from his gig with ESPN after posting an essay detailing why he would never give “a cent” to Haiti.

The “essay”, is still up at flipcollective.com if you’re interested in reading it.  One notable excerpt is this nug:

Dear Haitians –

First of all, kudos on developing the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Your commitment to human rights, infrastructure, and birth control should be applauded.

As we prepare to assist you in this difficult time, a polite request: If it’s possible, could you not re-build your island home in the image of its predecessor? Could you not resort to the creation of flimsy shanty- and shack-towns? And could some of you maybe use a condom once in a while?

Stay classy, Paul Shirley.
