Nothing beats a good "Who farted?" picture.

Despite the Chicago Bulls resting Derrick Rose and the Miami Heat giving Chris Bosh the night off, a lot of people called last night’s matchups between the 1- and 2-seeds in the Eastern Conference a preview of the conference finals. With all due respect to the Boston Celtics and maybe the New York Knicks, they’re probably right. So if you’re looking beyond the Bulls missing their centerpiece and the Heat missing their ostrich versatile big man, Miami won this battle, 83-72.

Realistically, the only value of this game is that Miami still has an opportunity to steal the No. 1 spot from the Bulls. But perhaps I’m not looking at this from the players’ perspective, because Dwyane Wade showed everyone just how intense an Eastern Conference Finals featuring the Heat and Bulls could be, when he tossed Rip Hamilton on his butt after he got a tad too pokey with his elbows.

And thanks to Twitter’s best NBA fan, Jose3030, we can now enjoy this moment in GIF form for the rest of eternity.

From Ball Don't Lie (via Real Clear Sports via YouTube via ESPN via Rip Hamilton's mouth) comes the clip of Hamilton ending a sideline interview last night with Michele Tafoya with a "yes" followed by the gender-based honorific of "sir". SHUCKABLE SHUCKS! It's funny because Tafoya is a woman says Captain Obvious of the Third Self-Evident Battalion in a message via carrier pigeon from the front.

Actually, it's just a popular affirmation in hip-hop culture. You might have heard Lupe Fiasco use it a couple squillion times. Or maybe you haven't because you haven't been ordained as a minister at KRS-ONE's Temple of Hip-Hop, located in his head. Only until then shall you be tricked into thinking Michele Tafoya is a man. 

Oh wait. It's Tafoya. Nevermind.
