NBA Playoffs

Chris Paul hasn’t yet come out and said he’s re-signing with the Los Angeles Clippers directly, but he sure seems like he’s ultimately going to. Forget that the Clippers are in the playoffs for the second straight year. That doesn’t have as much to do with his decision right now. What does is how far [...]

Vinny Del Negro’s future with the Los Angeles Clippers may be in jeopardy, and I kid you not. According to T.J. Simers of the The Los Angeles Times, Del Negro’s relationship with the organization has gone sour: But now only the playoffs remain before Clippers’ management begins messing with success and chooses not to rehire [...]

Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks aren’t done yet. They know they’ve clinched second place in the Eastern Conference. They know they’re facing the Boston Celtics in the first round. And they know they wouldn’t have to face LeBron James and the Miami Heat until the Conference Finals, should they make it that far. [...]

Kobe Bryant is omnipresent. The Los Angeles Lakers managed to defeat the San Antonio Spurs sans the Black Mamba, but just because he wasn’t on the court, doesn’t mean he wasn’t involved. He was. Per Janis Carr of the Orange County Register, Kobe spoke with Pau Gasol at halftime and told him to be more [...]

Pau Gasol has a friend in Kobe Bryant. A good one. A mere few days removed from essentially calling himself and Pau an unstoppable offensive duo, Kobe took his support of the seven footer up a notch. Following the Los Angeles Lakers’ win over the New Orleans Hornets, Bryant called Gasol his “dude” and asserted [...]

Pretty much everything we know about the Los Angeles Lakers’ Metta World Peace defies sheer logic, so it should come as no surprise that he’s planning on returning to the court soon. Really soon.

Well, this doesn’t look pretty. Late in the second quarter of the Denver Nuggets’ eventual win over the Dallas Mavericks, Danilo Gallinari took Dirk Nowitzki off the dribble with his left hand when suddenly, what seemed like an open path to the basket turned into a potentially season-ending injury. Gallo’s left knee buckled in toward [...]

And you thought Doc Rivers didn’t have a sense of humor. Following the Boston Celtics’ loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Rivers played an April Fools joke on reporters. Doc to us reporters after the game — “I really like you guys…April Fools!” — Baxter Holmes (@BaxterHolmes) April 2, 2013 Rivers can often be seen looking [...]

Call Steve Novak what you like, but there’s a correlation to be drawn between him and the New York Knicks winning. Doofy. Clumsy. Un-athletic. Slow. Whiter than snow. All of these are words or phrases often associated with Novak. What’s not often (enough) associated with the stretch forward, is his importance to the current Knicks [...]

Steve Nash knows the Los Angeles Lakers still have a lot of work to do. Los Angeles has won 12 of the last 17 games and is now just two games back of the final Western Conference playoff spot, but all still isn’t well. Why? Because, according to Nash, the Lakers still don’t have an [...]
