Chris Paul suffered the wrath of the internet and twitter this week after an unpleasant night of trying to guard Stephen Curry on Tuesday. The good thing about the NBA, though, is that there is always another game to play the following night or soon after, and Paul took full advantage of this on Wednesday when he took his anger out on the Portland Trail Blazers with 41 points (on 13-of-21 shooting from the field), five rebounds, 17 assists, four steals and
Stephen Curry had some ridiculous highlights the last time the Golden State Warriors faced the Los Angeles Clippers at the expense of Chris Paul. The point guard was at it again on Tuesday against the Clippers, and this time, things got much worse for Paul: [Read more…]

DeAndre Jordan was dominant as usual with 17 points, 20 rebounds and two blocks in just 28 minutes, Chris Paul had 25 points and seven assists and Matt Barnes provided an all-around presence with 15 points, four rebounds, three assists and four steals.

A few things are certain regarding the Oklahoma City Thunder this season: First, OKC’s best bet to make the playoffs rests solely on the shoulders of All-Star guard Russell Westbrook.

The playoffs are approaching, and that means the San Antonio Spurs may be ready to put themselves into another gear heading down the stretch of the year. The question throughout the season had been whether they actually had another gear to turn on after taking home the championship trophy last season. It looked shaky at times and injuries to key players certainly didn’t help, but the Spurs have won 11 of their last 14 games and made an example out of the
