NBA Finals

Because TNT’s yearly coverage of the NBA concludes for the season with the Western Conference Finals, we don’t get to see the likes of Chuck, Kenny, Ernie, Shaq or Craig Sager during the Finals. The ESPN/ABC crew of Mike Breen, Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson and Doris Burke do a very solid job, but the [...]

It was all but assumed that after suffering what appeared to be a very painful knee injury Monday night in Game 5 of the 2016 NBA Finals that Andrew Bogut’s season was most likely done.

Watching the Golden State Warriors from afar in Game 5, as a bystander at an Oakland Athletics game, was a bittersweet affair for Draymond Green.

LeBron James and his Cavaliers entered a hostile environment Monday night in Game 5 of the 2016 NBA Finals, down 3-1 on the road against the best team in NBA history by the numbers, a team that had gone 98-7 at home in the past two regular seasons and postseasons. A six point underdog and [...]

The hits just kept on coming for the Golden State Warriors on Monday night. First Draymond Green was suspended. Then Andrew Bogut left early in the third quarter with a left knee sprain.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have bigger problems than their 2-0 NBA Finals hole. Like Kevin Love’s health, for instance. Love left Cleveland’s Game 2 loss to the Golden State Warriors with concussion-like symptoms after taking an elbow to the head from Harrison Barnes. He wasn’t immediately removed from the game, since he didn’t exhibit the symptoms [...]

Are you ready for the 2016 NBA Finals? We sure are. These finals are sure to be a nail biter. The Golden State Warriors will be defending their championship title and are hoping to end their record breaking season on a high note. The Cavs, on the other hand, are trying to redeem themselves after [...]

Now that they actually know who they’ll be playing in the Finals, the Cavs can gameplan. Coach Tyronn Lue thinks he has a strategy of how he can beat the Warriors at their own game. Lue wants to push the pace. Sure, the Warriors are the defending champs, but you have to be able to [...]
