Yes, that LMFAO song with Lil' Jon called "Shots" is what ran through my head when I realized that Rashard Lewis and Ray Allen had both officially signed with the Miami Heat on Wednesday.
I tweeted this yesterday, and there was a range of reactions from, "Ed you've lost your damned mind," to "OMG that could be the scariest thing ever."
Potential starting lineup....Allen, Wade, LeBron, Rashard, Bosh. Holy schnikes.

Yep. The Miami Heat have begun refining their approach after realizing what their true formula for a championship would and could be. Get shooters, shooters and more shooters. Then, when LeBron James and Dwyane Wade get the ball and get double-teamed...
SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS...EVERYBODY... (repeat)
