Tweet of the Night: Sam Amico

Dwayne Wade accused Pacers of excessive celebration. Of course, the Heat would NEVER celebrate before they won anything.

Really, Dwayne? Th Heat have mastered excessive celebration, and now they want to complain about somebody else? Let’s take this Pacers win into context: They beat the Heat in Miami, no easy task; they tied the series 1-1, a series in which many people counted them out of; the Heat are now 0-1 in the playoffs without Chris Bosh. How much will the Heat miss Bosh? Only time will tell, but I do not like the early indications.

Playoffs Day 17: Preview of Clippers-Spurs and Pacers-Heat

by

The Lakers looked tired and got absolutely manhandled by the Thunder on Monday night. If that game was any indication, the Clippers may be in for a long night in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal vs. the Spurs. After just one day of rest since eliminating the Grizzlies on Sunday, the Clippers will go head to head against the well-rested San Antonio Spurs. We just saw what happens when a team with one day of rest goes up against a

Perkins: Might Chris Bosh secretly wish for the Heat to lose?

by

MIAMI – If you are Chris Bosh, there’s got to be part of you hoping the Miami Heat goes down in flames in your absence. There’s gotta be. I’m not saying it’s a large part. Maybe it’s just a tiny part. It’s human. It’s OK to be human. It’s OK to want to be missed. So I’m guessing if you’re Chris Bosh, and you’re sidelined for the remainder of this second-round playoff series against Indiana because of a strained abdominal muscle, there’s

Doc Rivers made a major mistake in Game 2

by

// We might be looking at a 2-0 series lead for the Boston Celtics if their end-game execution was a little more sound. By ordering Rajon Rondo to commit a foul with 14.4 seconds remaining, Doc Rivers and the Celtics gave away whatever chance they had of getting a stop, calling a timeout and inbounding from midcourt to go for the win. To recap: Rondo missed an open foul-line jumper that would have given the Celts a three-point lead with 54 seconds to

Rubio finishes second in Rookie of the Year Voting

by

First of all, props to Kyrie Irving for winning Rookie of the Year. When he and Anderson Varejao were playing together, the Cavs were one of the best watches on League Pass. There was never any doubt Irving was going to win it, and the best debate was over who was most worthy of 2nd place. I cast my 2nd place vote for Kenneth “Manimal” Faried of Denver, but the second-place winner was Ricky Rubio — who also provided a helluva a

Playoffs Day 16: Sixers edge Celtics, Thunder blast Lakers

by

Last week, we had a book review of Don’t Put Me In Coach, in which Ohio State benchwarmer and author Mark Titus repeatedly refers to teammate Evan Turner as “The Villain.” On Monday night in Boston, The Villian was The Hero. Turner shook off a tough shooting night to make a difficult driving, twisting layup that gave the Philadelphia 76ers the lead for good, then added two clutch free throws to help them hold on for an 82-81 victory over the Celtics

Dwyane Wade: “You’re not going to bring a Chris Bosh in but what we have is enough.’’

You know what’s a scary thought?  The Heat may win the East with just LeBron James and Dwayne Wade. They literally don’t need anybody else. I mean yes, Chalmers is a nice scoring option, Battier plays good defense, and guys like Haslem and Joel Anthony have been serviceable down low. But let’s be honest, you could place LeBron and Wade on the Bobcats, and they would still put up a massive fight for the best team in the East.

Playoffs Day 16: Preview of Lakers-Thunder, Sixers-Celtics

by

With the Clippers beating the Grizzlies on Sunday, the second round of the playoffs is now in full swing. We hoped for the basketball gods to stop hitting players with the injury bug after watching so many occur in the first round, but those hopes went out the window when Miami’s Chris Bosh suffered an abdominal strain Sunday, leaving him in doubt for at least the rest of the series against Indiana. Here’s hoping we can witness some good old basketball without
