While Gotty Dougie’d on stage with Yelawolf last night, the Heat/Knicks game left me shaking my head. D-Wade went from extremely hot to unbearably cold with the change of a quarter and LeBron basically struggled all night, aside from a late run and a highlight worthy block on Ronny Turiaf. Meanwhile, Spike and the gang hung around long enough with critical fourth quarter three pointers to secure an impressive 93-88 victory. Still, the most memorable moment of the night came before tip off.

Inside The NBA is known for their unscripted environment, but what Tracy Morgan brought to table was risque even for their taste. Turns out the man formerly known as “Hustle Man” is quite fond of political court jester Sarah Palin. And by “fond” I mean an inspiration of sorts. And by “inspiration” I mean quality masturbation material. The reaction on everyone’s face when he said it was priceless and I halfway expected Chuck’s ignorant ass (a great ignorant, by the way) to eternally co-sign the statement with his own “hell yeah she is.”

The NBA All Star Game starters were also announced last night. They are as followed:

Eastern Conference

G – Derrick Rose
G – Dwayne Wade
F – LeBron James
F – Amar’e Stoudamire
C – Dwight Howard

Western Conference

G – Chris Paul
G – Kobe Bryant (leading vote getter)
F – Carmelo Anthony
F – Kevin Durant
C – Yao Ming

All I know is Blake Griffin AND Kevin Love better be on that team. Hell, put Blake at center. It’s not like it’s that many dominating 5′s out West anyway. And watching Doc Rivers come off the bench with Rondo, Pierce, Allen and Garnett should be investigated by the NBA as an unofficial “practice,” but entertaining nonetheless.
