NBA to review calls from Game Four —– The Indiana Pacers won Game Four to even up the series against the Heat. That is not what anybody was talking about entering Thursday's Game Five. Instead, it was the three guys in grey. Officiating does not decide games. The Dwyane Wade travel was likely a good […]

It is never good when the referees deserve mention. Unfortunately, Twitter was all ablaze with some of the questionable calls that affected the final result of Wednesday's Game Four. Yes there was a clearly blown 24-second shot clock violation called that would have given the Pacers an 11-point lead, but instead kicked off an 11-2 […]

The last time the San Antonio Spurs were in the NBA Finals, Tony Parker was not quite a star and Tim Duncan was not quite over the hill (I think). Parker dominated that four-game sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers, led by a precocious LeBron James, by averaging 24.5 points per game and shooting 56.8 percent. […]

Denver Nuggets' JaVale McGee i son summer vacation after his team was bounced out of the 2013 NBA Playoffs at the hands of the Warriors.

The night started off inauspiciously for San Antonio on Saturday night in the team's 104-93 win at FedExForum in Game Three. Memphis went ahead by 11 in the first five minutes of the game and Gregg Popovich instituted a line change, replacing his starting lineup with an entirely new group hoping that would spark something. […]

Center Roy Hibbert injured his right thumb in practice which required taping but he did complete the practice session. Hibbert, who is having postseason averages of 14.4 points, 2.5 blocks, 9.7 rebounds and shooting 47%, is […]

Ever since the Dallas Mavericks won the 2011 championship, Mark Cuban has had his eye on the future. An odd thing to do after reaching the top of the league. He sold off much of the core of that championship team, letting Tyson Chandler walk in free agency to New York and letting Jason Terry, […]

It was an instant classic. A game for the ages and any other terms to describe the epic battle between the Pacers and Heat in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals and at the center of t all was Paul George and Lebron James. George and James clashed throughout Game 1 and provided fans […]

Duncan returns to All-NBA First Team —– The NBA announced its All-NBA teams Thursday and it looks oddly familiar to the one it had 10 years ago. OK, maybe not that familiar. But familiar (and notably deserved) names have made the list yet again. Kobe Bryant became an All-NBA First Team player for the 11th […]
