Chris Paul has a jammed middle right finger. No wonder he is 1/5 from field, 3/5 from FT line, 5 points in first half

With the Clippers down 16 with about 10 minutes left in the third, something must be said about Chris Paul’s poor performance. If it’s a jammed finger, so be it. However, if this so-called injury does linger, the Clippers must find another scoring option to step up. Paul is a leader on the court regardless, but if he is having a bad night, the Clippers need somebody, besides Blake Griffin, to go off. Just Saying.

Classic Kobe on Lakers' possible improved effort late in this game: "I almost bailed us out. That's what happened."

I mean, I guess that’s just Kobe. I have a little problem with the whole “I”bailed us out” thing (even though he really did), but who am I to question Kobe? The man has 5 rings, so if anyone knows what it takes to win an NBA Championship, it’s him. That being said, they better take care of these Nuggets. Game 6 in Denver will be a tough one, especially on the road, and giving the Nuggets a Game

Game 5 not a gimme for C's. Celts 2-9 in last 11 road clinching game. But, Hawks lost 3 straight in home elimination games

So who’s more likely to hang around for one more game, the Hawks or the Bulls. Personally, I am shocked of how far the Bulls have fallen without Rose. I didn’t think the Sixers had a shot to beat the Bulls (even without Rose), and being up 3-1 is certainly something I didn’t see coming. As for the Hawks, they do have Marvin Williams and Al Horford tonight, so I think they have the best shot at taking game

If the Clippers advance, the Chris Paul-Tony Parker match-up is going to be incredible.

The Clippers, following a win late Tuesday Night, are now up 3-1 in the series. Not to say they are a lock by any means to win the series, it’s worth mentioning that teams up 3-1 win 96% of the time (194-8). So you can say the odds are heavily against the Grizzlies. That being said, Chris Paul vs. Tony Parker might be one of the best point guard match ups I’ve seen in quite some time. Chris Paul

Now on Thunder Rumblings: Could Kendrick Perkins be out 10 to 14 days? -- http://t.co/rMttU83X

How significant of a loss could this be? The Thunder certainly don’t lack depth down low, with Nick Collison and Nazr Mohammed filling in as serviceable backups. Not to mention, Serge Ibaka is a phenomenal defender, and one in which would be able to guard some of the most elite big men in the game. But Kendrick Perkins’ absence will undoubtedly be felt, and if he misses extended time, it could be crucial down the stretch for the Oklahoma

What an impressive start to the NBA Playoffs for the Oklahoma City Thunder: Sweeping the defending champion Mavericks. The biggest thing I take from this performance was James Harden, who scored 15 of his 29 points in the 4th quarter. The Thunder were down 13 with 9:44 left, but rallied and ended up winning 103-97. Dirk Nowitzki was his usual self, scoring 34 points, but the Mavericks were missing two things this year that really hurt them; Tyson Chandler

Celtics win, and are now up 2-1 in the series. Rajon Rondo was spectacular, posting a triple double, and I still believe they are an absolute lock to win the series. Not only that, but I also stand by the fact that they may very well be the only team in the East that can run with the Heat. I’m rooting for the Celtics in that regard, considering I simply do not want to see the Heat in the
