Blistering hot is a perfect description for the weather, but death row B-ball rolls on. Cantankerous is a perfect description of the vibe emanating from some of the balers.

Player of the Week goes to… Tone “The Wild Thing” Loc, leading his Funky Technicians to an undefeated week. His game is not flashy. He is all business. All he does is get the job done, ya dig? Was that water in those cups? Or was it the funky cold medina?
And congrats to Lebron James and the Miami Heat on a job well done. All the naysayers, all the negativity, all of the hate and the whole time all he had to do was just simply be himself. For those who don’t know; that’s always good enough.
It’s about damn time! Hats off to the Heat. And, oh yeah, I’m predicting it’ll be hot out there Monday as well; man-up or melt down.
Mr. Blue
