The words “Game 7” might not stir the soul on Sunday afternoon in Canada as much as they ordinarily would in a second-round NBA playoff series, but the Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors won’t care. They shouldn’t. The reality of sports contains an always-present disclaimer: An event might not live up to the hype or […]

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.

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 […]

In basketball, college or pro, we’ve all hear the saying good guard play wins games in the postseason. Sunday afternoon, in a win-or-go-home situation, that saying held true as the Miami Heat took the sting out of the Charlotte Hornets, 106-73. Miami point guard Goran Dragic left his mark on the game by playing with […]

The Heat was on… and the Hornets were turned off. The Miami Heat profoundly struggled with the Charlotte Hornets over the past four games of their Eastern Conference first-round series, but when Dwyane Wade saved them in Game 6 on Friday night, a week of frustration gave way to a different mood and attitude. This […]

Most sports fans and analysts pay close attention to Game 7s, those moments when a long series reaches the ultimate crescendo.

What is “the bad-guy lift?” It sounds like a term you haven’t heard before… maybe because that’s exactly the case. You have not heard it before. Inspired by Charles Barkley’s immortal line, “Ya gotta make the bad guys beat you,” I submit for your approval “the bad-guy lift.” We might have seen it Monday night […]

For two days, Knicks and Suns fans have been hearing about a potential deal that would send nuclear-powered point guard Eric Bledsoe and the No. 13 pick to New York and the No. 4 pick to Phoenix. Dwarfed by the larger rumors out of Sacramento, the past 48 hours hasn’t confirmed a thing regarding the intentions […]

There are plenty of people on this green earth who coach and play sports. For these men and women, the DNA of athletic success is so deeply coded into the human organism that it’s a sin against nature to view any loss as “good.” Thus begins a counterintuitive examination of the most successful “bad season” […]

Well, this isn’t good for the Suns’ chances at keeping Goran Dragic. It is all but certain that Dragic will be moving from Phoenix considering he spoke to the media and flat out called out the team’s front office and says he doesn’t trust the team brass. Dragic is a hot commodity as the trade deadline […]

Why Dragic? Why? Why you gotta make Bulls big man Taj Gibson look silly? The Suns’ Goran Dragic found himself being defended by Gibson and decided to show Taj a thing or two about trying to defend a player with sick basketball handles. Check out Goran putting Gibson on skates with some sick moves.
