The Cavs were idle Thursday night, but they won
0 comments by Matt Zemek
The Cavs have won every day of the Eastern Conference semifinals, if you think about it. Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday. Thursday. Four days have come and gone in the two East semis, and Cleveland has emerged the winner at the end of them. Let’s not pretend to ignore the larger reality behind the first two games […]
Frank Vogel: the latest to lose the star player-front office-coach war
0 comments by Bart D
Much like any good horror movie, the first one of the group to die off is usually the one that has the least power in the group and is thus deemed the most easily replaceable. The NBA works much the same. The Pacers’ extinguishing of Frank Vogel from the franchise via the ole passive aggressive […]
The NBA playoffs illustrate the enormity of added options
0 comments by Matt Zemek on 5/5/2016
The NBA playoffs are nothing if not a two-month seminar on the importance of having extra options at the offensive end of the floor. The NBA playoffs, one could say, are a uniquely American creature because they magnify the blessing this country has afforded to many of its citizens over time: the ability to take […]
The Hawks know all too well: For the second straight year, Game 82 mattered a lot
0 comments by Matt Zemek
For the second straight playoff season, the Atlanta Hawks are finding out how miserable an experience it is to face the Cleveland Cavaliers. David Blatt’s defense last year, Tyronn Lue’s offense this year – it doesn’t matter. An elite Kyle Korver last year, a mediocre version this year – it hasn’t made a dime’s worth […]

Stepping up without Steph: The Curry-less Warriors become stronger
0 comments by John Cannon
People are starting to notice that the Golden State Warriors are pretty good, even without Steph Curry. This takes a little getting used to, the notion that a team can lose a transcendent player and still look at times like it doesn’t even miss him. In their second-round NBA Playoffs series, the Warriors outscored Portland […]

Kyle Lowry’s shooting is not his foremost problem, believe it or not
0 comments by Matt Zemek
Kyle Lowry’s shooting stroke is a huge problem for the Toronto Raptors… well, unless we’re talking about halfcourt shots: Despite any public claims — from Lowry or anyone else — that his elbow injury is not affecting his shooting stroke, the numbers don’t lie in this instance. An established pattern is too entrenched to ignore […]

Rules are meant to be enforced: The real lesson of Thunder-Spurs endgame
0 comments by Matt Zemek
The Oklahoma City Thunder found themselves at the center of a storm Monday night in San Antonio, one they barely managed to survive. Most of America might hate the San Antonio Spurs, or at the very least, it might resent the Spurs’ longstanding excellence as the NBA’s closest approximation of a 21st-century empire. Yet, even […]
