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.

Larry Bird: "I can't believe my team went soft. S-O-F-T. I'm disappointed. I never thought it would happen."

If anybody has credibility to his word, it’s Larry Bird. He won championships, he’s one of the best players of all time, and he knows what he’s talking about. This is not Lance Stephenson making a choke reference. This is not Metta World Peace making a silly comment. This is Larry Bird. That being said, I can put my money that the Pacers are without question playing soft. And if this doesn’t motivate them to play their butts off,

Brandon Bass, who is a nice kid but reluctant talker, just earned himself a trip to the podium #celtics

I personally believe the Celtics are going to the finals. I never thought I would say it, but right around the time that Chris Bosh got hurt I came to that conclusion. Rondo is a top point guard, and the Big 3 (Garnett, Pierce, Allen) still have plenty left in the tank. That being said, the key to their success WILL be Brandon Bass. He is a solid scorer and rebounder, and brings a solid low post presence that

Can’t deny it. The Clippers simply cannot run with the Spurs right now. Griffin and Paul are not healthy, and the Spurs still look like the best team in the NBA. They have productive players up and down the roster, they are well-coached, and know how to play basketball. The Clippers are dead in the water, so I expect the Thunder and Spurs to have a dogfight in the Western Finals. Granted, I have the Spurs advancing past the

I know I'm far from alone, but strange how much I'm rooting for the Pacers ... would make more sense if Mavs had lost last year. #grudge

I’m not making a bold statement here: If your not a Miami heat fan, your probably rooting for the Pacers. And by probably, I mean about 80% of the time. The Heat have truly taken on the “villain” role in the NBA, the team to beat. As I write this, the Heat are down 81-67 with 5:48 to go. Roy Hibbert is embarrassing the Heat with 18 boards and 16 point, and Mario Chalmers is the only player producing
