Wade (a 29% 3-pt shooter) called the final attempt a "50/50 shot." I guess "29/71 shot" doesn't have the same ring to it

By 71, I’m assuming he’s referring to how open it was. Wade should have made that shot, pure and simple. He was given a ton of space, had time, and was in perfect position. The Heat are just not good with the final shots, and it needs to be made known. I’m not talking about how much they “choke” every time, because every one knows that. I mean, they are just pitiful. Nobody wants the shot, and when it

BIG performances by some Celtics tonight: KG 24pts/11rebs, Rondo 21/10/6, Pierce 23/4/4.

For any of you out there who thought the Celtics are dead in the water, well, your wrong. And before I say anything else, let me just say that Rajon Rondo, as talented as he is, has the clutch factor. He wants the ball in his hands, and is deadly right now in the playoffs. Shocking thing is, Rondo is apparently a shooter now, hitting long jumpers consistently that he rarely even ATTEMPTED during the regular season, let alone

Got shot down by both coaches. Asked Popovich if he'd say why Blair, who started 62 of 66 games, doesn't play. "No."

You know, I was a bit humbled by this tweet. It had crossed my mind many times as to why Blair had seen virtually no playing time throughout the playoffs, and I simply assumed he was hurt without looking further into it. The Spurs have been fantastic without him, especially since Matt Bonner, Boris Diaw, and Tiago Splitter have played so well his relative positions. Clearly, the reasons for Blair’s absence are deep, but I would never question Coach

For anybody wondering who this person Deron is referring to is, here is his twitter. I’m not entirely sure exactly what it is that angered (more or less) Deron Williams, but apparently he is making some false statements. Regardless, when a player finds it significant enough to write a tweet about it, you obviously went too far. Likewise, the writer has about 220k+ followers, so this is not a no-name guy. The drama surrounding where Deron Williams will land

Spurs are crazy. That's 20 Ws in a row, 10-0 in playoffs.

If you want to learn how to play team basketball, please, just watch the Spurs. They run the pick and roll flawlessly, they have mastered the drive and dish, and they play phenomenal defense. The Spurs played the Thunder, who are most likely the most talented team in the NBA, and they had to fight to simply cut it to about five. I claimed earlier the Spurs win in six, and I understand the Thunder are going to be

Just finished watching Game 1 - Spurs r amazing. They had nothing 1st half, couldn't get into anything. Played all 48 and prevailed.

I mean, can anybody beat the Spurs? They sweep the Jazz, sweep the Clippers, and now go up 1-0 to the Thunder. Ginobili led the Spurs with 26 points, and the Spurs were just their usual selves, playing great basketball on both sides. I’ve been screaming Spurs winning the NBA Championship since March, and I’m feeling even more confident with every win they accumulate throughout the playoffs. I stand by my prediction; Spurs beat the Thunder in six, and

Congrats to @ on hopefully getting the Trademark on "LINSANITY" It shouldn't belong to anyone else!

Finally. Jeremy Lin’s trademark “Linsanity” is official. Although it was short-lived, the combination of Lin’s success and good health, it was alarmingly trendy at the time. The reasons for the “Linsanity” were obvious; he came out of virtually nowhere, he was a Harvard graduate, he played for New York, he was the first successful Asian-American star in the NBA, and he played exceptionally well, amongst other reasons. As much as “Tebowing” caught the NFL by storm, “Linsanity” caught the

Playoff MVP so far: 1. LeBron James; 2. Kevin Durant; 3. Kevin Garnett

It’s between James and Durant and it’s not even close. Garnett, Parker, and even Kobe have been terrific, but not anchors for their team the way James and Durant have been. Granted, both the Thunder and Heat may get knocked out prior to the NBA Championship, so these rankings are a bit premature. But to this point in the playoffs, I would have to agree.
