Game 35 Game Thread: Miami Heat (28-7) Vs. Utah Jazz (16-18)
This is a potential NBA Finals match up between the Miami Heat, best in the East, and the "totally-yes-we-are-too-a-contender" Utah Jazz. The obviously not rebuilding Jazz will most likely defeat the Heat, who are on a 9 game winning streak. Also there are no U.S. Troop in Iraq, and Great Leader Kim Jong-Il is healthy and defeating capitalism by himself. It is glorious. Shut up.
Just.
Please.
Shut up.
