Oklahoma City Thunder

Tony Parker feels your pain, Los Angeles. The San Antonio Spurs absolutely manhandled the depleted Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the NBA playoffs, sweeping the boys in purple and gold. It wasn’t a competitive sweep either. San Antonio’s average margin of victory through four games was 16.3 points. The team has got [...]

It’s not easy trailing the Oklahoma City Thunder 2-0, but James Harden and the Houston Rockets haven’t given up hope. Houston fell to Oklahoma City in tightly contested 105-102 battle. The Rockets were down by as many as 15 in the fourth quarter, but came storming back to take the lead. But both Kevin Durant [...]

Despite not looking terrific in a 91-79 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in game 1 of the playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers appear a few tweaks away from being competitive in this first round matchup.

Prior to the Golden State Warriors’ loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Warriors head coach Mark Jackson essentially called Durant a role model. Coach Mark Jackson: “When I look at Kevin Durant, you look at a guy you want to point your kids to [...]

Don’t stop me if you’ve heard this one before, because I know you have. With the Dallas Mavericks unlikely to make the NBA playoffs this season, and Dirk Nowitzki eligible to become a free agent after next year, it’s about time we turned his future in Big D into a hot mess. Okay, it really [...]

Kevin Durant would like to bestow the NBA’s scoring title upon Carmelo Anthony. Okay, that’s a bit much, but he doesn’t mind if Anthony winds up winning it. Per Royce Young of dailythunder.com, Melo can have the scoring title if he wants it: KD on the scoring title race with Carmelo Anthony: “He can have [...]

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 [...]
