Big night in Miami tonight. On one side, the Miami Heat hosting the Chicago Bulls in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. On the other, the Miami-Dade elections. What's a good Miamian to do? Watch the game? Check on the election results?
Well, don't fret, good citizen. Just stay with us throughout the evening and you'll get both!
Holy dickfire! Really? Oh yes. Keep it here as we live-blog both the game and update the election as the results come in. It's as if ESPN Keith Olbermann melded with MSNBC Keith Olbermann and became self-aware. Only less narcissistically douchey!
LET'S DO THIS!
(We'll kick shit off round 8:30 or so... Hit refresh every now and again for updates)
8:30- Let's kick things off with Pepe Billete's Heat fight song!
PEPE BILLETE FOR MAYOR!!!
Also, Carlos Gimenez has the early lead for county mayor. But that's with just a small percent of the precincts reporting. Kind of like saying the game is over when Mario Chalmers checks in.
8:44- The Heat seem to be off to one of their notorious slow starts as the Bulls start the game on an 11-2 run. Meanwhile Wade missed a dunk. WE'RE DOOOMED!!!!
8:47- Midway though the first quarter, Joakim Noah hasn't used any derogatory slurs. Unless you count his body odor as one.
8:49- With 6:07 left in the first quarter, the Heat are in the bonus. They only have two field goals so far, so this should come in handy.
8:52- Derrick Rose is off to a fast start, as expected. He's exploding to the rim. Also exploding: the TNT announcing crew whenever Rose does something good.
10:28- Heat pushing it down the floor, clock winding down, LeBron dribbles, he finds Mike Miller all alone in the corner for a three-pointer. Mike Miller shoots!!! ANNDD....
10:29- After three, it's the Bulls 68 - Miami 63. Looks like we're gonna need MetaLeBron to save the night, or else the Heat's heading to Chi-town tied 2-2 and all the haters will unite in a worldwide circle jerk.
10:34- MIKE MILLER LIVES! HE'S SLOWLY FALLING APART LIKE A WET MUMMY... BUT HE LIVES NONETHELESS!!
10:43- The Bulls have remained in this game by sheer virtue of loose-ball-never-fucking-bouncing-to-a-Heat-player-ever. Miami up 72-71.
10:48- Wade has been absolutely light a sack of shit on fire awful tonight.
10:51- The Heat treat the basketball like it's been dipped in syphilis, refuse to pick it up. This leads to more Bulls points. Chicago up by three.
10:55- Game tied 80-80 with 2:53 remaining. Testes shriveling angst.
11:02- Heat up by one with one-minute left. Holy and fuck.
11:07- 23 seconds remaining. Game tied. Heat ball.
11:11- Ref with a goat piss awful foul call on LeBron gives the Bulls the ball with 8 seconds. The Humblest Human Person Alive Ever takes the final shot and misses. We are headed to overtime. Shit. Just. Got. Real.
11:18- Chris Bosh has all four points of overtime so far. Someone must've said something derogatory about his mama.
11:21- WADE! HE HEARD MY CRIES OF ANGST AND YEARNING!
11:22- LEBRON JAMES AIN'T CARE!
11:26- D-Wade with the steal and then the layup. HE IS RISEN! Heat up by 6.
11:30- D-Wade viciously blocks Derrick Rose's shot attempt. D-Wade shits in the so-called MVP's mouth.
11:32- 99-93 Heat lead with 6 seconds remaining. Crowd chanting "BARKLEY SUCKS!" Awesome.
11:36- HEAT WIN!!! Series now 3-1!!! Who's mayor? Who gives a raccoon's ass? Thanks for stopping by!!!! Exclamation points!!!
