The worst shot in basketball is the shot just inside the three-point arc. Everyone knows this. Everyone agrees upon this. A few feet closer to the basket still makes for a relatively long jumper without the additional point. Therefore, a 19-foot jumper at the professional level and a 17-foot jumper at the collegiate level represent […]

We’ve talked about the unfair seeding that has created the Los Angeles Clippers/San Antonio Spurs first round match-up. Long-time Clippers fan Billy Crystal, went on Jimmy Kimmel the other night and discussed his fandom for the team with some jokes at their previous failures and how close they are to getting to the next round… […]

Earlier this month at Crossover Chronicles, staff writer Joseph Nardone wondered what the playoffs would look like if seeded 1 through 16, obliterating the artificial division imposed by conferences. Plenty of other bloggers and publications have pushed for a reworking of the NBA’s playoff format along these lines. A lot has also been written in […]

With one minute left and the Spurs up two, Blake Griffin went up for a shot and Tim Duncan came away with a huge block. The Spurs would go on to win the game by four and go up 3-2 in the series…

The general manager version of Doc Rivers has taken a heaping helping of heat for the fashion in which he constructed the 2014-’15 Los Angeles Clippers. After all, if you just shout out the name of a random Eastern Conference starter during the aughts, chances are GM Doc signed him for guaranteed money. He also […]

The Los Angeles Clippers are supposedly a team riddled with personality issues. Chris Paul is apparently a jerk. Austin Rivers is daddy’s little boy. Blake Griffin hates Chris Paul because Chris Paul is a jerk. Fun stuff like that. Los Angeles struggling in the first few games of its series against the San Antonio Spurs […]

The Los Angeles Clippers tied up their series against the San Antonio Spurs 2-2 today and this Chris Paul shot might have been the best of the day….

A neat and tidy way to view the showcase first-round playoff series between the Los Angeles Clippers and San Antonio Spurs is that the Spurs enjoyed the benefit of the doubt. Tony Parker nowhere close to his best? Eh, big deal — the Spurs are still the Spurs. They’ll figure out a way. Tiago Splitter […]

Be honest: How corny would it be if I started this piece with, “It was the best of times and the worst of times for Blake Griffin”? Then again, that’s exactly what we’re talking about, right? Griffin notched 29 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists on Wednesday, the first playoff triple-double for the franchise since […]

Two schools of thought do not exist for every single topic under the sun, but most of what we pursue as human beings can certainly welcome opposing points of view. Such is the case with the enthralling Western Conference playoff series between the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers, the only one of the […]

Oh man, Woody…what are you doing? During the second quarter of last nights game between the Clippers and the Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers assistant coach Mike Woodson was caught on camera snatching some food from what looks like an unsuspecting fan. h/t: Reddit NBA

We talked yesterday about this years first round of the playoffs not being able to hold up to last years but it looks like we found a series that is going to be a lot of fun before it’s over. While most were probably tucked away in bed, the San Antonio Spurs and Tim Duncan […]

Oh my, Blake Griffin is flat out putting on a show so far in the post-season.

Hit us up on Twitter @CrossoverNBA As with anything, like searching for Bigfoot, summonsing the undead, walking through Wal-Mart at 11 p.m. on a Saturday, or post season sports, you never really know what you’re going to get until you get in there and start to see it form. That said, while the NBA for […]

Tony Parker will be a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame after he retires and becomes eligible for the honor. After back-to-back NBA Finals appearances and one more NBA championship as part of the San Antonio Spurs’ dynasty, there is nothing Parker and his old-man teammates truly have to prove. However, after Game 1 […]
