Well,I'm not a Freemason,Stonemason,Shriner or any of the ilk.I did pledge Omega Psi Phi(Rho Delta Delta Chapter) in College and I think they're are some fundamental similarities in creed between them,but also some inherent differences.

I have a few colleagues who are lower degree masons,that like Heej alluded to,more than likely joined much in the same way one would join a Fraternity or Sorority "that is" to Network and also contribute to charitable organizations.Of course my thoughts are the higher you go up the ladder of degrees,the more clouded things tend to become relative to the true meaning behind Masonry.

I never understood all that.. I mean what is it?

I'm not sure what you're referring to in my post. The Masons?...Fraternities and Sororities? What?

^^^I'm not too "in the know" so to speak but,I have a few associates and colleagues I know of that are Masons.All I could tell you is they take it very seriously,they're very secretive.It's rather touch and go on questions you may ask them pertaining to the goings on within Masonry.The guys I know are lower degree Masons.I'm pretty sure the higher up in degree you go the more "knowledge" will be revealed to you.

The whole Freemason thing is sketchy at best,and I wouldn't want any part of it.

Thanks. And btw this is totally off-topic, but ummmm... Is it possible for us to get CP3? I mean, D-Will said he wants to sign with NY and there are rumors they could get Nash or Billups.. Where would CP3 go where he can win a championship? He does want to win so thats not a problem. I was thinking he would be able to sign for the MLE... Idk maybe I'm getting ahead of myself..

@mh_3

LOL! I don't think CP3 to Miami for MLE is going to happen...I wish it could happen,but I think it's highly unlikely.

Whatever the case may be,I hope by next year we can get the PG and C positions shored up.
The "Enigmas" that are Mario Chalmers and Joel Anthony is wearing on my nerves something fierce.

[FlashTheKilla]

I wouldn't even want CP3 for this team. Give me a sharpshooter at PG or a better C for the MLE.

[Heat3]

^^wtf? Give me CP3 all day!

^^wtf? Give me CP3 all day!

LOL! That was my exact saying.

Noobs.

MIAMI -- It’s never too early for playoff mind games.

At the East All-Star practice last Saturday, Celtics coach Doc Rivers ran through some plays with Heat forward Chris Bosh on the floor alongside Boston's four All-Stars: Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. Rivers later used that lineup in the game.

During the workout, the Celtics players attempted to have some fun with Bosh by calling and then running through some of the Heat’s basic plays that include Bosh. It was a bit of a joke, but also a nod that the Celtics are studying their rivals.

“It was cute, it was real cute,” Bosh said after the Heat’s practice Monday night. “They got it wrong though. Those must have been old Toronto plays because they just passed it to me and moved out of the way.”

Bosh tried to get into the act, responding by calling some of the Celtics plays he knew.

“I didn’t have any power out there because I wanted to run a couple of their sets and they were like, 'What?'” Bosh said. “I was like, 'I know what the play is, let’s run "point."' And nobody said anything. It was all jokes. But I was serious.”

I know its been mentioned but damn everyone tries to make fun of Bosh, I doubt they would have pulled that on Lebron

But they're inn for a suprise in the playoffs

I just realized Beasley and Anthony Randolph are now on the same team.

Anyone remember the hundred page GB threads of arguments between Warriors/Heat fans about who was better?

[Heat3]

Sid is being especially obnoxious today. I don't know if I can listen to the full show

[dflash3]

I hate Sid. I never understood why he is on a Heat radio show.

[Tony Fiorentino]

Whoever said no to cp3, please go play in traffic.

And mh3, u know of anyone else that migrated over here?

Game thread? Game thread? Bueller?

I'm currently watching the Miami@Indiana game from last week , tuned in during the 2nd half of the 4th quarter. This is some of the best execution I've seen by the Heat all year in late game situations, they've gone to Bosh in the high post every single time and have worked from there. Wade and James are both showing excellent movement and they've consistently gotten to the line or finished on nearly every possession. Food for thought I guess. Play both Wade AND James off the ball and start things off with Bosh?

[shanedude]

Extremely useless post, but imagine if Wade and UD were both 4 inches taller. Wade could have had an even better post game and we'd have a center with grit and hustle.

I agree about the good execution but a lot depends on the matchups and how the game goes.

On a side note: We have a game in two hours!

True! Just something that would be interesting to experiment more with as the postseason approaches

[miamivice]

this might be nothing, but the inconsistent explanations for why mike miller is out seem suspicious. it's his concussion, it's his flu, it's his concussion... i'm sure it's nothing, but there is a slight possibility we're holding him out for some kind of trade. probably nothing...

[Tony Fiorentino]

What if he's holding out so teams don't know to gameplan for him come April/may/june?

Shooters go through slumps so I think this is more of a mental block than anything. It's a lot of pressure on him to be this sniper and I think all the media attention doesn't help either.

Either way, he needs a new haircut.
