Well Wizards’ Bradley Beal really is about getting he best of Raptors’ Kyle Lowry isn’t he? In the recent Wizards-Raptors playoff game, Beal totally made Lowry’s defense look silly as he hit the paint and make the bucket. Of course that got Beal charged up and directly challenged Lowry by dropping f-bombs as he talked […]

“We’re right there. We shot 37 percent and we’re still in the game. With our home crowd and energy there for us, we can get the next one. We’ve got to get this next game. It’s a must-win for us. “ – Isaiah Thomas Game 3 of the Eastern Conference playoff series against the Cleveland Cavaliers […]

I’m pretty sure nobody really thinks Nicolas Batum meant to hurt anybody with his recent motivational message that happened to include an inflammatory remark about Spanish players. It was a joke. People joke all the time. Let’s move on, right? Well, of course. This story is ultimately pointless. Marc Gasol said it best because he’s […]

Hell hath no fury like not meeting other people’s expectations. We set the bar, mind you, however high we deem appropriate. Whenever someone doesn’t meet the goals set for them, no matter how lofty they might be, we deem them failures. It is the endless cycle of building people up, only to inevitably tear them […]

See Dwight Howard in the cover photo above? He’s having a grand old time… not because he didn’t perform well last year against the Portland Trail Blazers, but because his team is controlling a first-round series. This offers a starting point for a comparison between the 2015 first round and the opening round of last […]

It might be safe to say Wizards’ John Wall is pretty good. Need proof? Against the Raptors tonight, Wall decided he would drive into the lane and make a seemingly impossible shot go right through the net.

Well this will probably make you get choked up a bit. Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer won the 2015 NBA Coach of the Year Award today after guiding the Hawks to the top record in the East in what started as a potentially turbulent season with the Danny Ferry incident. Yet despite coach Bud’s success with […]

Hit us up on Twitter @CrossoverNBA As with anything, like searching for Bigfoot, summonsing the undead, walking through Wal-Mart at 11 p.m. on a Saturday, or post season sports, you never really know what you’re going to get until you get in there and start to see it form. That said, while the NBA for […]

Poor Aron Baynes. The big man for the Spurs had the task of trying to guard Clippers’ Blake Griffin in Game 1 of the Spurs-Clippers series and the results were what you expect from Griffin. The slow-footed Baynes had no chance at keeping up with Blake that Griffin posterized Aron not once, not twice but […]

File this under “Really?” Pelicans head coach Monty Williams apparently didn’t appreciate Warriors fans being fans. You know, cheering their home team, making noise to rally their team, trying to make the opposing team nervous, and just showing their Warrior pride. Oh but not Monty. He has to be the wet blanket because apparently he […]

Well this could have really gotten out of hand. Bulls’ Mirotic and Bucks’ Pachulia almost got into a tussle as the two were fighting for a loose ball and let’s just say, if these two realllyyyyy got into it, it would have been one epic fight. Considering Pachulia’s temper, and Mirotic’s size, it would have […]

I thought the Earth had this unseen force called “gravity” that binds objects, and people to the ground. Well for Bulls’ Jimmy Butler it seems he doesn’t have time to obey the laws of gravity and showed it versus the Bucks in Game 2 of their series. While going for the block on the Bucks’ […]

If you put Frangelico and Absolut Citron in a glass and then sugar coat a lemon to take a bite out of afterwards, it tastes just like chocolate cake. Nothing about citrus vodka, sugar, lemon, or hazelnut liquor should taste like chocolate or cake, let alone both, but it does. And so it is with […]

It’s early. One game is too small a sample size. We are not supposed to overreact after Game 1 of a series. As each first round matchup heads into its second game, however, it’s important to point out regression candidates — the players that either overachieved or underachieved in the first game. These quote-unquote X-Factors can be the difference […]
