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.

Playoffs Day 11: Previews of Knicks-Heat and Clippers-Grizzlies

by

What looked to be a fast ending to the first round of the playoffs took a turn for the competitive good on Tuesday night when three of the four teams that faced elimination – the Hawks, Bulls and Nuggets – all survived to play a Game 6. The New York Knicks and Memphis Grizzlies are in the same boat – down 3-1 in their respective series – and they will try to avoid elimination on Wednesday night rather than go fishing,

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

Playoffs Day 10: Preview of Magic-Pacers, Celtics-Hawks, Sixers-Bulls, Nuggets-Lakers

by

The first round of the playoffs are seemingly coming to a quicker close than many may have anticipated. The Mavericks and Jazz have already been swept out, and one of the remaining teams in each series is on the brink of elimination. Four teams will try to extend their postseason on Tuesday night as they head into their series down 3-1, but history is not on their side, as only eight teams in NBA history have come back from a 3-1 deficit. The

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

Playoffs Day 9: Previews of Spurs-Jazz and Grizzlies-Clippers

by

One team, the Dallas Mavericks, has already been knocked out of the playoffs. If you want to bash Mark Cuban for it, you should read this first. The Utah Jazz will look to avoid the same fate in Game 4 against the mighty San Antonio Spurs, who seem to have forgotten how to lose – winning their last 13 contests. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers hope to put themselves in a dominant position to take the series from the Memphis Grizzlies, who

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
