Los Angeles Clippers

Houston has done it. On Sunday night’s do-or-die game seven, the Houston Rockets, who initially faced a bleak 3-1 deficit against the Los Angeles Clippers, completed one of the most incredible series comebacks in league history as they came out with the 100-113 victory to eliminate the Clippers and advance to the Western Conference Finals [...]

Entering game one with Chris Paul sidelined with a hamstring injury for the Clippers, many assumed that the Rockets would easily come out with the win.

In the words of Kelly Clarkson: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. In the words of San Antonio Spurs Gregg Popovich (probably): What doesn’t kill you makes you drink a decades-old pinot noir. Once again, it looks like the Spurs’ followed Popovic’s lead over Clarkson’s. TMZ has video (h/t Complex) of the Spurs coming [...]

DeAndre Jordan wants to be friends with Mark Cuban. With the Dallas Mavericks’ officially ousted from the NBA playoffs, they’re free to start planning for yet another crucial offseason.

When Los Angeles Clippers head coach and President of Basketball Operations Doc Rivers traded for his son Austin Rivers, the move was widely scrutinized—and for good reason.

While on the other side, it was Kawhi Leonard for the Spurs, who led the way with a quiet 18 [...]

Pat yourself on the back. Do the self-five. Pound your chest. Hell, play some pocket billiards if you’re into that sort of thing. You deserve it. Because the 2014-15 NBA regular season is over. And you made it. Now it’s off to the playoffs, which begin Saturday. And thank heavens for the brief respite in [...]

We all knew the Western Conference was terrific. But the forthcoming conclusion to the 2014-15 campaign has exceeded most expectations. The two-time defending conference and 2014 NBA champion San Antonio Spurs have recovered from an injury-infested season and risen to the No. 2 seed in the West. However, the Spurs have only achieved that status [...]

Oh, look, it’s the Spurs. The time-biding, age-shirking, logic-looting, championship-chasing, demonstratively dynastic Spurs. Remember when we were worried about them? Yeah, me neither. Yours truly was never worried about them. Yes, I’m patting my self on the back. A few bold blockheads thought they were done. Believed they were finally too old. Could see injuries [...]
