There is a civil war at the NBA Players’ Association, with the union’s executive committee rallying behind executive director Billy Hunter and asking for the resignation of president Derek Fisher. “The NBPA issued this statement this afternoon: “On Wednesday, April 18th, the NBPA Executive Committee cast an 8-to-0 vote that it lost confidence in Derek Fisher’s ability to act as Union President and requested Derek’s resignation. “The Executive Committee based its decision on numerous instances over the past six months where Fisher

Tonight’s best game: Lakers at Spurs

by

The San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers did not play each other one single time in December, January, February or March. They’ve played twice in April, and strangely have blown each other out on the other’s home court. The series will get even more interesting as Kobe Bryant is set to return for the Lakers (40-23) from a seven-game absence to face the Spurs for the first time this season in Friday’s best game. Bryant leads the league in scoring with 28.1 points

Gus Forrest subs for “The Picker”

by

Got an e-mail from “The Picker” this morning. He is bummed. “I’m speechless, guess it’s time to take a day off or two and regroup. Cannot catch a break right now.

Guess he gets the night off. But … We can’t leave y’all hanging, so I turned to the guy who

Now this will be a game to watch. Following a Lakers win without Kobe Bryant that snapped an 8-game winning streak for the Spurs, they returned to the Staples Center and returned fire, crushing them 112-91. Tony Parker had a field day on Ramon Sessions, scoring 29 points and dishing out 13 assists. The series returns to San Antonio, in a matchup we may very well see in the playoffs. Kobe is finally returning, and everyone knows how much

  Desperate for a big man, the Boston Celtics waived Jermaine O’Neal today and reached into the D-League to sign journeyman Sean Williams, who played earlier this season for the Dallas Mavericks.

NEW YORK — Old guys are resting, young teams are angling, and Kobe Bryant is dreaming of another championship. It’s that time of year: the NBA’s playoffs are upon us!
