Doc Rivers is probably going to get fined by the NBA for saying the Clippers were “robbed” last night in Oklahoma City. That is the kind of comment that crosses the line, no matter how true it might have been. But what about referee Tony Brothers? Is he going to be publicly chastised by the league office for saying replays of the ball that clearly went off of Reggie Jackson’s hand were “inconclusive?” [Read more…]
I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of trying to figure out the Indiana Pacers. Has there ever been a team that was such a power house for 80 percent of the season that has collapsed like these guys have? They are excruciating. One more win gets them into the Eastern Conference finals, but they were nowhere near ready to put the hammer down Tuesday night in Game 5 against the Washington Wizards. Marcin Gortat looked like a Polish

He should send a thank you note to Marcin Gortat. DraftStreet’s $40,000 Big Score tournament was held Tuesday and Wednesday, with a massive amount of prizes for those bold enough to risk a twenty and two singles. Flight 63 won it with a lineup of Gortat, LeBron James, John Wall,
Here we are in the critical stage of the second round of the NBA playoffs, and it seems folks would prefer to talk about Donald Sterling, or the many NBA coaching vacancies, rather than the actual game itself. Why is that? Well, the Sterling case long ago crossed over from the sports realm to the mainstream realm, and scandals never fail to overwhelm normalcy.

The firing of Mike Brown came out of nowhere yesterday. Today, the new permanent general manager David Griffin, discussed the firing and the future of the Cleveland Cavaliers. “This is not about anybody doing anything wrong,” Griffin said.

That is a Donald Sterling-like return on your investment, and it will spur elation that will border on dementia. So good luck to all those who are in the running. IMHO, this contest is going to be won by the person who strikes it rich on one or
BROOKLYN — No explanation was provided by LeBron James, and no outrage was expressed after Joe Johnson accused the King of flopping on Johnson’s final offensive possession. LeBron was asked about it, but the questioner made the always fatal journalistic mistake of asking a two-part question. Part one was about the flop. That was the tough question, the one everyone wanted answered. The second question was completely benign, and that was the one James answered. Memo to aspiring journalists: NEVER ask a
Eight law firms have reportedly turned down Donald Sterling as he prepares to take the NBA to court over his banishment. Meanwhile, his wife is filing for divorce … and she believes she has a right to take over sole ownership of the Clippers. (The NBA says she is misinformed). Also, Sterling issued an apology of sorts in an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, and he begged for forgiveness. Anybody detect a trend here? [Read more…]
