Where there's Thunder, there's Heat

It's on!  Slim's McFavorite team (the Miami Heat) vs. yours truly's favored Oklahoma City Thunder.  Tomorrow night, baby!

Some background:

Slim started Dank Game back in July of 2009 to fill the large void in opinionated sports writing on the internet.  Suffering from a lack of charisma, Dank Game turned to Cincinnati wunderkind Teenage Mustache (actual name). 

For the most part, a decision was reached that Slim would continue to focus on the NBA, while America's real pro sport was covered by the 'Stache.  We even got some dick from Columbus to cover English football (you know, soccer), just to round out our coverage.  Naturally, baseball was considered non essential.

However, football season will end (hopefully after the Bengals win the Superbowl for the first time), and the 'Stache needs to keep this good thing going.  Without a Cincinnati team to root for (until we bring the Royals back), Mustache scanned the league for a team worthy of his fandom.  Not surprisingly, his heart landed in Oklahoma City.

Slim meanwhile has been rooting for the Heat since boyhood.  Mistaking Miami, FL for Miami of Ohio (and thus thinking it was a local team), Slim nevertheless stuck with his choice after discovering his initial mistake.  He was rewarded with a Miami NBA championship, thanks almost entirely to the addition of Shaquille O'Neal to the team.

Flash forward to Tuesday, Nov. 16th - the first Thunder-Heat showdown since Dank Game was launched.  Bragging rights will be established, fun will be had, I will be working :(

OK, so it's not a perfect night.  But once the Thunder have secured victory, it won't matter.  Game on.

No, make that Dank-Game on!
