What is a perfect father's day gift, NBA finals predictions and the quickest of takes on boxing

At the beginning of the season, I predicted the Heat would win the NBA championship over the Thunder 4-2. At the beginning of the playoffs I predicted that the Spurs would beat the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals only to lose to the Heat in the Finals 4-2. Logic being, the Thunder shoot way too many jump shots to consistently beat a championship caliber team. Well the Thunder do shoot a lot of jumpers but clearly not too many as they have proven to have the most potent offense in the NBA. Now its 2 teams with arguably the 2 best players in the league, winner takes all... you wanna get a good fathers day gift ladies?... leave, pack your shit up, take the kids and head to the in-laws for about a week and half, randomly showing up every other day for 20 minutes just to have sex and then leave again without saying a word(that part is very important) and once the finals buzzer sounds, return home with the kids and have business as usual.  That's the ultimate gift to a man, but sadly men, we know the results would be tragic if we asked for that, so when father's day does roll around make sure you smile at the new Grill Brush 2000 and the shitty sweater you're most likely to receive.

As I've watched the Heat this playoffs the biggest problem hasn't been the play of Lebron or Wade it's been the absence of Chris Bosh and sadly the coaching of Erik Spoelstra. For example if someone told me that Lebron James would score 31 points and Dwayne Wade would add 27 points, scoring 14 of them in the 4th quarter, I would say that's the perfect recipe for success for the Heat. Lebron takes over early and wade closes but nope they lost that game, why cause Celtic coach Doc Rivers coached circles around Spoelstra, constantly running a fast break clinic on Miami... ON MADE BASKETS. That should never happen, especially in a game 5 of a conference finals. Even without Chris Bosh the Heat shouldn't have to had gone 7 games with the Celtics, if Spoelstra dosen't make necessary in game adjustments the Heat are done in 5, cause yes i do question their mental toughness.

The Thunder was able to beat the Spurs cause they took away the one true advantage the Spurs had over everyone else, depth. The Spurs played 10 deep thru the entire season and into the playoffs, running teams ragged, but credit to Thunder coach Scott Brooks who made adjustments after being down 2 games and exposed the Spurs bench players. The Spurs then shortened their bench into a 7 or 8 man rotation and trust me boo you can't hang with the Thunder, and the 23 year old thoroughbreds they possess. If I was to have any team to take over as an owner in the NBA it would be hands down the Thunder. They have the best nucleus of players and they are all young. Which is for that reason I still take the Heat

The Heat has a greater sense of urgency and although we saw the Chosen One do this last year, play great in the Eastern Conference Finals only to completely disappear in the Finals, i believe he has turned the corner this year. I believe that as long as Lebron James and Dwayne Wade play the way they are capable of playing they win, period. I also believe that if the Heat does not win this year they will never win, turning into a version of the Buffalo Bills, mentally defeating themselves before the finals even begin. So once again I put all of my chips into Lebron's basket and his legacy, in which should be the 1st of at least 3 meetings between these 2 teams in the finals, trust me boo, barring injury it's going down. Heat 4-3

More random thoughts:

We on some level have to accept that as long as there's pay per view, boxing will always be somewhat like wrestling, an enterprise that is more focused on dollars than legitimacy. I truly believe that Ryan Braun used some kind of sport enhancing drug last year, however if I was him and wanted to prove that I wasn't, I would be having the season that he's having right now. Djokovic vs. Nadal is always must see TV. Can we stop referring to Dale Jr. as being in a slump and refer to him as a scrub. Tim Lincecum whenever you're ready to stop fucking my fantasy baseball team over let me know...personally!! Dueces
