The Houston Rockets started out great but it was the Golden State Warriors that put together the run at the end of the first half and took the lead to the locker room. Here’s Steph Curry drilling a long two at the buzzer to give the Warriors a three point lead at the half… At […]

Hit us up on Twitter @CrossoverNBA If there were a list of the five most absurd sporting events, the NBA Draft Lottery would need to be up there. Players in suits, lately, people that have zero to do with the decision making process as representatives of teams, and no longer is it reserved for halftime […]

The Golden State Warriors will go as far as Steph Curry will carry them. That is inarguable. That being said and agreed to, how far that will be depends rather dramatically on how well his teammates play. If you don’t believe me, sit down for a chat with Curry’s predecessor, Rick Barry. The star of […]

They easily won more games than any other team in the Eastern Conference this season and had four All-Stars, but that hasn’t stopped basketball fans from questioning the Atlanta Hawks’ status as a serious championship contender. Despite having the second longest active streak of playoff appearances behind only the dynasty that is the San Antonio […]

Tuesday night’s NBA Draft Lottery could go a long way in terms of bringing normalcy back to the league. After a season that saw some of the most storied and revered franchises in the Association relegated to “why the hell is this team on a national broadcast?” status, 14 ping-pong balls could work to accelerate […]

The NBA playoffs are about to partake in their version of the Final Four. What is shocking about the four teams remaining, though, is that it is chalk. The top two seeds from each conference managed to make it this far, but they all have battle scars. Consequently, there are as many questions as answers […]

We have reached the portion of the NBA playoffs where there are (finally) only four teams remaining. With Cleveland, Atlanta, Golden State, and Houston being the sole survivors of an 82-game season and a grueling playoffs, fully expect hyperbole to be in maximum overdrive. Most of the talk going forward will be about each of the […]
HOUSTON, TX – MAY 17: James Harden #13 of the Houston Rockets celebrates with head coach Kevin McHale after they defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 113 to 100 during Game Seven of the Western Conference Semifinals at the Toyota Center for the 2015 NBA Playoffs on May 17, 2015 in Houston, Texas.

Let the questions begin. Let the think pieces roll out. After the five-quarter collapse we just saw from the Los Angeles Clippers, they’ve invited every word of the negative press they’ll be getting from here on out. But let’s get one thing straight — L.A.’s no-show in Game 7 is not proof that Chris Paul was born without […]

With players like Dwight Howard, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan in this series, a significant portion of it was played above the rim. Here’s the best dunk from game seven of this quarter-finals series….

The Memphis Grizzlies have come a long way. The first fifteen seasons of their existence would have been best described as an utter joke. Horrendous ownership forced a move to Tennessee after only six tumultuous, Bryant Reeves-filled years in Vancouver — a stint that yielded just 124 total wins for the organization. Once in Memphis, […]

Two teams playing Game 6s on the road, one trying to extend its season, one trying to close out a series. Two men who just a month ago were the subjects of the NBA’s heated MVP debate, facing the challenge of leading their teams to victory. Two third quarters that went in opposite directions. Steph […]

You very likely recall the Steve Bartman Game, and how a Chicago Cubs team felt the weight of a curse that was nearly 60 years old in 2003 and is 70 years old today. You probably also recall the Curse of the Bambino, the hex which dogged the Boston Red Sox for over 85 years. […]

In any sporting competition, the balance of responsibility between the winner and the loser will always be different. The Boston Celtics lost Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals more than the Los Angeles Lakers won it. The Miami Heat lost the 2011 NBA Finals more than the Dallas Mavericks won it… and Dallas lost […]
