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

by

If you have some time to kill, check out what Ron Artest, or Metta World Peace has been up to since being ousted by the Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals in the video below. It’s his very own show called “The Ron and Metta Show”, where he can’t decide who he wants to be, so he invites fans to his location and tells them to decide whether they wish to speak with Ron or Metta.

Props to the Thunder, who showed they are a tight team

by

csprtContainer(); Something you may not have known about the Oklahoma City Thunder: despite their relatively young age, they are about as tightly-knit of a group as there is in the entire NBA. They hang out at each others’ houses. They are as much of a team on the court as hey are of of it. Their core has been together so long, including the most unheralded big player in this series, Nick Collison, that they have been able to summon a collective

SH Blog: James Harden hits dagger 3-pointer against Spurs

by

By now, most are aware of the similarities between the games of James Harden and Manu Ginobili, who play the role of sixth man for their respectively dominant teams. Both are crafty left-handed assassins that can cause havoc driving into the paint with one euro-step after another and knock down deadly three-pointers. They even flop the same way. The mirror-images of each other dominated Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, and while Ginobili had the better stat-line, it was Harden

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

Hubbard: Spurs are on the ropes after Game 5 loss to Thunder

by

SAN ANTONIO – For the longest time, the San Antonio Spurs seemed so full of precision, so superior, so . . . invincible. Fifty days. That’s how long the Spurs went without losing a game. Before them, only three teams in NBA history had winning streaks of 20 or more games. They became the fourth. Included in that streak was eight straight in the playoffs. That number stretched to 10 when the Spurs handled the Thunder without significant problems in the first

Trail Blazers hire Neil Olshey as new GM

by

Paul Allen has a new general manager for the Portland Trail Blazers, and you may wager amongst yourselves as to how long Neil Olshey will last in what has been a revolving-door job for the past few years. Olshey left a similar post with the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday to take the job with the Blazers, who have been using Chad Buchanan as their interim GM for the past year. Buchanan took over from the departed Rich Cho, who lasted only
