That video is Exhibit A in the case for why Kevin Durant is going to be the MVP. Five of the eight columnists here at SheridanHoops.com selected Durant as their choice for the league’s most prestigious individual award, and that buzzer-beating 3-pointer gave him his fourth 30-point game of the season and moved the Oklahoma City Thunder to 4-0 as they stunned the defending champs from Dallas 104-102. It was the only close game on a night when there were six games played

Bernucca: Wanna keep Wall? Dump Blatche
Andray Blatche is a knucklehead, and the Wizards better get rid of him if they want to keep John Wall. It is becoming next to impossible to prevent NBA superstars from flying the coop. They want to play in more attractive big markets. They want to play alongside other superstars. They want to win championships. And of course, they want to get paid. What they don’t want is to be stuck with a lottery-bound team. They don’t want to share a locker
What to make of Durant v. Westbrook
Why did Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook get into another fight on the bench last night, as they did in last year’s playoffs? One reason is because they are young and emotional, and youngsters get into fights and show their emotions more than most veterans. Kids will be kids, after all. Also, one of them is more mature than the other. Does it mean Durant and Westbrook hate each other? Far from it, as I explain in the above video. Want to win two free
Tonight’s best game: New York at LA Lakers
For a six-game night, there are some nice matchups. The Nets are visiting the Magic, which means the New York metro area media will be zoning up Dwight Howard. There should be a relay race in Portland, where the Blazers entertain the Nuggets. And on TNT, the Mavericks try to figure out their myriad issues as they travel to take on the Thunder, where Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are bickering. But the best game is the back end of TNT’s
The Bernucca List – Edition V
The answer to last week’s edition of The Bernucca List was “Members of the Knicks during the Mike D’Antoni era.” The first correct answer was given by Dan, who wins … a mention in this week’s edition. Congratulations. Now, if you really want to win something while perusing SheridanHoops – like, say, NBA game tickets – then click here and follow the instructions. On to this week’s list, which is short but sweet, like Salma Hayek, and more difficult than figuring out
Wade’s late shot makes Heat 3-0
// There are five NBA teams that have played three games in the first four nights of the season. Two of them (Miami and Oklahoma City) are 3-0. Another, the Boston Celtics, are 0-3. The two others are the Lakers (1-2) and the Warriors (2-1). Undefeated records for those first two teams should come as no surprise. Pretty much half the staff at SheridanHoops.com predicted they would met in the finals. But then we have the third team, the Celtics, who were known
Hubbard: New, pro-Stern, pro-Clipper award projections
With a new era in the NBA that features the league dictating the Clippers are blessed and the Lakers are not, it is obviously time for an advanced way of thinking that requires everyone to not only accept changes, but also embrace them. I read many predictions before games began on Christmas Day and it was clear that the majority of media has yet to adjust to the new NBA. I will have to admit that I made it only halfway
Tonight’s best game: Oklahoma City at Memphis
The Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies meet Wednesday night in FedEx Forum, the site of their postseason meeting last year that was undoubtedly the best game of the playoffs. The Grizzlies held a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinals after climbing out of a 16-point hole to win Game 3 in overtime. In Game 4, The Thunder desperately needed a win to reclaim home-court advantage but fell behind by 18 points in the second quarter. OKC stormed back and held
