For every postseason matchup, Ball Don't Lie's resident dummy will offer a topically appropriate entry from the best-selling series of "Deep Thoughts" books written by legendary humorist Jack Handey, plus some of his own original thoughts on the playoff series. The combination will cost you literally nothing; we suggest you use the savings to purchase one of Mr. Handey's life-changing books.

Welp, here's this. (AP)

As if it's not bad enough to miss a fast-break dunk on national television, LeBron James had to suffer the indignity of then being taunted by an inflatable pink flamingo wielded by Indiana Pacers fan Matt Asen. Obviously, Asen was thinking ... I don't know what the hell he was thinking.

But you do, right? So how about sharing with the class? Best caption about/explanation of this situation wins OODLES of flamingo facts for your Friday. Good luck.

In our last adventure: Allen Iverson was in full throat for Game 6 of Celtics/76ers.

What is that, Dwyane Wade? Is that fuchsia? That's nice.

Coming off back-to-back excellent performances, the star Miami Heat guard entered Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Thursday night intent on making a statement in Game 6 by putting away the Indiana Pacers in dominating fashion ... an intent he declared with some dominating fashion that stunned even teammate and noted fashionplate LeBron James before the game, according to ESPN's Rachel Nichols:

LeBron: "Damn, for real, those are closeout pants? And the finger sleeve?"

Wade: "You gotta coordinate."

LeBron: "You look like Eddie Murphy in the '80s."

Wade: "Eddie Murphy wishes he looked like me."

I mean, especially now.

It's not a bad goof by LeBron — the simple combination of words "Eddie Murphy in the '80s" is a pretty can't-miss laugh-inducer — but strictly speaking, assuming James is referring to the bright leather suits Murphy rocked for "Delirious" and "Raw," it's not quite accurate. What Wade brought to the arena was actually more of a Chad Johnson/Ochocinco or John Daly look, when you get right down to it, with maybe a bit of "Nashville Star" winner Chris Young thrown in, via that wrist bandana (obviously). If anything, Present-Day Eddie Murphy kind of has more of a Russell Westbrook thing going on, really.

Hey, are you in need of something that is the greatest to get you through the remainder of your Thursday afternoon as you wait for a Miami Heat-Indiana Pacers game that will all but certainly kill your soul? WORRY NOT, FELLOW TRAVELER! I have just the thing for you: Dancing!

And not mere "tomato-soup-awaiting, Siri-spurred" dancing — real dancing. From the mean streets of Springfield, Va., where it seems there ain't ish to do but cook or create dances dedicated to Washington Wizards rookie guard Shelvin Mack and venerable multi-team guard of the '90s Robert Pack. Behold:

This unbridled brilliance comes to us from Springfield's Ryan Kopf, 23, who has apparently been doing this sort of thing since he was knee-high to a shoefly, and does it pretty often. From the fantastic Sarah Kogod of the Washington Post's venerable D.C. Sports Bog:

After presenting the game ball before Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series between the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics, NBA legend Allen Iverson headed back up to his seat and he cheered. Man, did he cheer. Oh, boy, did he cheer.

What kind of cheers came out of the mouth of "The Answer"? Best caption wins a head's up that The Questions are back. Good luck.

In our last adventure: LOUD NOISES!

It's a total given that when you think "Kobe Bryant," you think "Stringy-Haired Belgian-Australian Dude Singing About Difficult Relationship Problems With Twee Belgian And/Or Australian Women." I mean, I know it goes without saying, but for the purposes of the post, I guess I have to say it. Sure, "basketball" is No. 2, but that's obviously No. 1. (Rapping with Tyra Banks, clearly, is No. 3.)

So it's both thematically correct and completely reasonable that Dan Rib and Ken Belcher — aka "Kobye" — produced this re-imagining of Gotye's smash "Somebody That I Used to Know" targeted very specifically at the failings of the Los Angeles Lakers star, how his 2011-12 incarnation differs from the unstoppable version of his youth, and how this year's Lakers might have been better off with fewer Kobe shots and more play through twin-tower types Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol ... which, y'know, is kind of what most folks who aren't diehard Laker fans/Kobe stans were saying for most of this season.

Chris Kaman's doing great, guys. He's about to be a free agent, and while the 30-year-old pivot isn't really anyone's idea of a game-changer, he'll be one of the best available centers on the market.

You'd clearly rather have Kevin Garnett for the next couple of years, even at age 36, but young and gifted restricted free agents like Roy Hibbert, Brook Lopez, JaVale McGee and Omer Asik will cost a pretty penny. And among unrestricted types, only Ian Mahinmi (five years younger, light-years more athletic and an emerging talent on both ends) and Spencer Hawes (a pretty similar player to Kaman during his first five seasons) would seem like better multiyear bets at deals above the midlevel exception.

What Kaman was looking at as spoon hit mouth. (Image via @ChrisKaman)Even coming off a relatively nondescript season with the New Orleans Hornets, Kaman has value as a legit 7-footer who can score, has nine years of NBA experience, and can walk, chew gum and foul at the same time. He'll find a job, and a lucrative one, at that. He's secure. And when you're secure, you can just chill out and eat some cereal in a cabin surrounded by more animal heads than seem reasonable, healthy or non-mania-inducing.

Once you've kicked things off with the most important meal of the day, though, you should really go out and have some fun with your offseason. Visit with friends. Take long walks. Hide in caves and then jump out pretending to be a legendary ape-like cryptid who purportedly inhabits the woods of the Pacific Northwest:

Heading into a win-or-go-home Game 6 against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night, Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doug Collins said his team needed point guard Jrue Holiday to ramp up his aggression, get to the basket more frequently and put up more shots to give Philly a chance of extending the series to Game 7. Apparently, the third-year guard listens.

Holiday took 15 shots on Wednesday night, the most of any Sixer, and posted a team-leading 20 points as Philly scored an 82-75 Game 6 win to knot this second-round series at three games apiece. As we discussed Wednesday, though, the key wasn't just that Holiday get his shots up, but where he got them up; after taking just five attempts at the rim in Games 4 and 5 combined, Holiday went 3 for 5 at the tin in Game 6 and 6 for 10 within nine feet of the basket, according to Hoopdata's shot location statistics, meaning that despite having gone 9 for 19 from 3-point range in the series' first five games, he refused to fall in love with his jumper and just continued attacking the paint.

Even when he didn't connect on the bucket, the attacks paid dividends — Holiday attempted (and made) six free throws Wednesday night, one fewer than he'd tried in the first five games combined, and four of his six assists led to baskets at the rim for his teammates. By routinely beating Boston's defense off the bounce and getting into the lane, Holiday was able to generate offense not only for himself, but for the rest of the Sixers, and in a game where both teams struggled with their jumpers — Philly was just 12 for 35 from beyond 10 feet, while Boston was a ghastly 17 for 56 — the team able to produce and convert more up-close opportunities came away with the win.
