Yesterday the Miami Heat took care of business in game 1 against the Brooklyn Nets to start the series with a 1-0 lead. When some men read about the game this morning in a local newspaper in Evansville, Indiana, I am sure for a quick moment they felt pain. Then they probably laughed hysterically for a few minutes at the error in the headline. Hit the jump.

It was a big game 6 for the Brooklyn Nets and the Toronto Raptors. A loss would eliminate the Nets from the playoffs and a win would send them to game 7 in Toronto. The Nets came out strong and pulled off a 97-83 win. The whole focus wasn’t entirely on the game however but who was at the game took over. Former Nets minority owner Jay Z came through with his wife Beyonce and Raptors ambassador Drake was there as well. It was an interesting sight considering Hov and Drake’s recent jabs at each other through music as well as Drake calling Jay Z out for missing game one.

It takes alot to impress Jason Kidd Jr, just ask him. He was asked outside a nightclub what he thought of his dads first year as coach of the Nets. The Younger Kidd replied with an answer as if he was disappointed. You have to excuse him though as he seemed a little more interested in the pretty women he was with and you can’t fault him for that. For the record I think Coach Kidd did a great job, especially considering how the season started out for Brooklyn. Hit the jump.

Toronto Raptors GM Masai Ujiri shocked everyone yesterday when he shouted “f*ck Brooklyn” to rally the crowd before game one of their playoff series. Unfortunately for him the Brooklyn Nets won the game and the bragging rights. New York Daily News, famous for their clever headlines, took the opportunity to fire back at Ujiri and the Raptors.

The Brooklyn Nets stole homecourt from the Toronto Raptors taking game one 94-87 but it was without the help of Andrei Kirilenko. He was noticeably absent throughout the game even when their bench players struggled. Everyone wondered why, including Kirilenko’s wife.
(Video) NBA: Drake Throws Shots at Jay Z For Not Being At Raptors/Nets Game 1
Between the Toronto Suns newspaper trolling, the Raptors GM saying “F*ck Brooklyn” and now Drake throwing shots, this is turning out to be quite a regional rivalry. Drake is the Toronto Raptors ambassador and of course was on hand for their first playoff game against the Brooklyn Nets. Drake and Jay Z have been throwing subliminals at each other in the music world and Drake took this opportunity to throw another shot since Jay Z is a former minority owner of the Nets.
