I was in uhh, Shaqapulco and, next thing I know the cell starts shakin'. I was pretty happy considering the fact that I have been getting uhh, tired carrying most of the Heat's workload because the Flash was hurt. Now that he's back, I can just kinda put the team in neutral and not worry about missin' a season game or two to get some rest. Uhh, havin' said that, I'm glad my grandfather chose to pass away when he did, gives me a chance to rest before the playoffs, gives D-Wade a chance to get back into his team leadership role that he hasn't had this past mumph. The Wizards weren't really a challenge for them anyways because Agent Zero has been out too. See y'all in the playoffs...I make em when I need to.
