Craig Sager will miss the Playoffs as he undergoes treatment for acute leukemia. Everyone in the NBA family is sending their well wishes to Sager and his family.
Sager’s son, Craig Sager, Jr., was in San Antonio and interviewed Sager’s longtime foil, Gregg Popovich, at the end of the third quarter. With his usual aplomb, Popovich gave his best wishes to Sager in his recovery, urging him to get his fanny back quickly and a promise that he will be nice.

The Thunder coasted for the first half, hung on for the second and took down a Game One victory with only the slightest bit of warning from the Grizzlies. Oklahoma City built as much as a 25-point lead in the first half and held a 20-point lead at halftime. It looked easy for Kevin Durant […]

The Hawks never left any doubt. They were unafraid and never backed down. Seeding did not matter. The regular season did not matter. Atlanta made the Playoffs and proved the team is here to stay. The Pacers know that now. Jeff Teague stepped up in the Playoffs once again, slicing up Indiana’s once vaunted defense […]

Clippers’ Jamal Crawford is a scorer whether it be inside or outside the paint and he displayed his range in game 1 of the series versus the Warriors.
With seconds left going into the half, Crawford heaved a shot from half court which only saw the ball swish through the net.
Despite L.A. dropping game one to Golden State, Crawford definitely gave the fans something to cheer about.

Blake Griffin was on the bench having fouled out after playing just 19 minutes. Chris Paul thought he was fouled as the ball trickled off his hands and out of bounds. Meanwhile, the Warriors were going to the line and missing their free throws before Darren Collison stepped out of bounds trying to corral a […]

Paul Pierce did not have to do much until the fourth quarter. When he turned it on in the fourth, he buried the Raptors. Pierce scored nine of his 15 points in the final 12 minutes and put the dagger in the Raptors at Air Canada Centre to help the Nets steal Game One and […]

The end of the season was a welcome site for the Bucks. When you had Playoff dreams after spending a healthy chunk of change in the offseason and only getting 15 wins out of it. Of course, that got them the top lottery odds and a 25 percent chance at winning the top overall pick […]

Rocket’s James Harden is one prolific scorer in the NBA. He can drive to the rim, nail the outside shot and put up huge numbers any given night.
And with the postseason about to begin this weekend, the Rockets will need his offensive firepower and hopefully, he will learn to play defense very quick.
Check out James and his not-so-great defensive chops throughout the 2013-14 regular season. Seriously, how does he miss so many defensive assignments, or just lose his man?
