The playoff injury bug struck again Tuesday night. And to a team that can ill-afford an injury to their best player.

Jamal Crawford is probably the biggest piece to the Clippers that isn’t really talked about. Sure, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan get most of the headlines, but what Crawford is able to provide off the bench is not easy to replace. Truthfully, he’s worth still starting in the league, but credit to him [...]

The Basketball Gods has an interesting sense of humor. Year in and year out, we see guys make it through a regular season relatively healthy, then go down in the first game of the first round of the playoffs.

Mike D’Antoni has held head coaching positions in the two largest media markets in the NBA: New York and Los Angeles for both the Knicks and Lakers. He also quit both jobs when times got tough.

Among the many surprises and disappointments of this NBA season, the Washington Wizards have to be near the top of the list. Last season, the John Wall-led Wizards hosted a first round series versus the Raptors and had a decent run in the second round. Many thought they would be able to build on that [...]
