The Golden State Warriors did something over the last three days that I didn’t think was possible: They won the first two games of their Western Conference Final series against Houston without giving their fans any confidence whatsoever that they will win the series. Okay, maybe that’s a little strong, but if the 19,000 maniacs […]

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 […]

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 […]

What makes watching sports fun is getting to see something unique. If the expected always happened there would be no reason to waste time viewing. Whether it be a singular miraculous play, an amazing sequence of events, or a contextually historic moment, that’s why you spend so much time endeared to what’s nothing more than […]

The second round of the NBA playoffs is giving us quite a bit of symmetry. All four series are tied at one as we head into today’s rare day off. Since the 1979-’80 season, all four conference semifinal series have been tied at one on only two occasions (2012-’13 was the other). It seems like […]

Before I started contributing to Crossover Chronicles I had no idea how ridiculously good the NBA’s Youtube Channel is. They are cranking out consistently good and fun content. Other leagues should take note. Here’s a look at the best plays of 2014-2015 as we head into the playoffs…

Follow on Twitter @CrossoverNBA I was having a discussion with someone earlier this week. This person was going on about what a great President Hillary Clinton would make and couldn’t wait to vote for her. Never wanting to get into a political conversation with anyone for the most part, I just nodded, asked this person […]

Seriously, what hasn’t Spurs’ Tim Duncan done to cement he is legendary? Last night’s Spurs-Rockets tussle had a lot riding on it with playoff implications abound once the final buzzer went off. With a Spurs win, the team launches into the third spot in the West. With a Rockets win, they secure the third spot […]
What a mean mug. Must have seen his stat line against the Clippers Wednesday night.

Despite the Spurs thrashing the Rockets last night, there was a moment of levity between James Harden and head coach Gregg Popovich. Or should I say a moment of facial hair levity. Pop, who sports a beard himself, got to chatting with the MVP candidate and it seems Pop admires Harden’s glorious beard. Jut give […]

Before two MVP candidates in James Harden and Russell Westbrook matched up Sunday afternoon, Grantland’s Bill Simmons had a lot on his mind about the Thunder trading away James Harden. .

The Warriors, the best team in basketball by a large margin, beat the Clippers on Tuesday, 110-106. It was a tantalizing affair, perhaps a preview for an outstanding second round matchup this May. In the second quarter, Steph Curry, who may have actually attended Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, pulled off this fancy maneuver […]

New Orleans wasn’t supposed to make the playoffs. The West didn’t appear to have any playoff vacancies, and if an outsider did crack the conference’s Top 8 slots, the best odds belonged to the Suns, not the Pelicans, considering that Phoenix missed the postseason with 48 wins a season ago. Yes, the Pelicans have Anthony […]

Houston’s James Harden is on a tear this season. So much so, he is mentioned as a strong MVP candidate and has Houston among the best teams in the West sans Dwight Howard. Yes, Harden has proven this season almost no one can slow him down. Enter the Suns’ P.J. Tucker. As Tucker found himself […]

The Clippers’ Chris Paul might be lighter in the wallet after the NBA sees a replay of this flop. Against Houston, Paul found himself heading right to James Harden as he was heading to the rim. The result, Paul tries to bait the refs into calling an offensive foul on Harden with a flop that […]
