Way to have a glass half full mindset, Pat. Safety comes first. Before winning, being a good teammate, not being an idiot, costing your team any shot they had in the playoffs, the fans...

We'd bet $200. This is Chris Bosh we're talking about.

Word of advice: Never start your joke out with "I have a joke!"

Did they really have a chance in this series? You watched Saturday's game, right?

@san859

Yup, and we blame A.I.'s gambling problem on his du-rag being tied too tight.

Good question. Instead of the fire extinguisher, dude should've beat his stylist up, up, up...

@ChivesMcGee

Let's not forget about iso Joe Johnson, but the sentiment holds true. You should have to take a bonehead test before any being given any $100 million contract.

Well that's kind of counterintuitive.

If only this was coming from the real Brian Scalabrine, it would be so much sweeter.

Caption: Fire extinguisher Amare punched was in a hallway between the Knicks locker room and the court. Blood on carpet.

Was that really necessary, Rachel Nichols? This clearly proves it happened exactly how it was reported.

@DennisDMZ

Now that's the type of humor that would be great on Monday Night Football. Wait he already did that and tragically failed? Our bad.

@MikeHillESPN

Ah, we see what you did there Mike, very clever. Even more clever, somebody finding this clip of you dancing on First Take.

@RacistJuan

Yeah, him and the guy who told you that Twitter handle was a good idea.

@awfulannouncing

Considering what JaVale McGee has done this season, that should definitely tell you something, Amare.
