Unreal performance by @KingJames. It's a wrap for the series. Heat Thunder in finals.

Needless to say, there were plenty of tweets about the performance of LeBron James, who was historically sensational in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Chandler Parsons’ tweet, in particular, was noteworthy because he wrote off the Boston Celtics in predicting a Heat-Thunder Finals. Hasn’t he ever heard of the phrase “don’t ever underestimate the heart of a champion”? The quote did come from the Rockets’ best coach of all time, after all. The way the Heat played tonight,

Danny Green

After suffering a season-ending loss to the Thunder in absolutely shocking fashion, Danny Green was on twitter having a word with himself for completely disappearing in the biggest games of his career. He went from averaging 10.4 points on 50 percent shooting while playing a key role on the defensive end in the first eight games of the postseason, to averaging 3.3 points on 28.5 percent shooting in the Western Conference Finals. He was basically kicked out of the

Whoever gets going quicker between Wade, and Pierce. I think .their team will win the game.

Jamal Crawford

Jamal Crawford was almost correct in his observations. Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals did come down to the performances of Paul Pierce and Dwyane Wade. After playing lackluster for much of the game, Wade stepped up in the fourth quarter to score 14 points – one more than he had through the first three quarters. He also had a ridiculous block on Brandon Bass’ dunk attempt, and was better overall in comparison to Pierce, who managed to

Popovich: "Championship teams win on the road and OKC just did that. If we can't win on Wednesday, we're not a championship‑caliber team."

Gregg Popovich has a point, and it’s worth noting that championship-caliber teams also don’t lose three consecutive games after going up 2-0 in the same series. Still, it’s a bit far-fetched to say the Spurs are not a championship-caliber team no matter what happens for the rest of this series, given their body of work this season. Their sudden inability to play with the type of team chemistry and cohesion displayed during the 20-game winning streak is certainly mind

Rivers on his team: "I think they kind of understand that Rondo's the leader of the team, everybody else plays w/ Rondo."

On a team that features three future Hall of Famers who are not far removed from their prime, we are watching before our very eyes Rajon Rondo go from being a great point guard to an elite, franchise changer. And that is saying a lot. I was always a fan of Rondo; he passes extremely well, he is a great ball handler, and has fantastic moves at the hoop. But not only has he been hitting jump shots, he

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

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

SH Blog: Wally Szczerbiak takes a shot at Kevin Garnett

May 31, 2012 by James Park

Wally Szczerbiak, a teammate of Kevin Garnett for seven seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves, had a surprising take on the performance of the Big Ticket, who has been scorching hot in these playoffs but had a rare off-game in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat, needing 18 shots to score 18 points.
