SH Blog: Tuesday’s news:Stephen Jackson does not respect Scott Skiles

by

The main story heading into Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals is whether Chris Bosh will suit up for the Miami Heat. That, of course, wasn’t the only news item on Tuesday, as you will see below. Chris Bosh is officially listed as a game-time decision for tonight’s game, but Brian Windhorst believes Bosh will play:  Heat All-Star Chris Bosh has been upgraded to a game-time decision for Tuesday’s Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics. All indications are that Bosh

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

Playoffs Day 21: Durant sinks Lakers with game-winner; Spurs rally over Clippers

by

If you are a fan of either of the Los Angeles teams, you might have had some trouble sleeping through Saturday night. If you predicted that the Clippers (me) or the Lakers (Sheridan) would move past the second round, you probably wish to have those predictions back, as both teams are now on the verge of being eliminated from of the Western Conference semifinals. Before discussing how each team blew their respective chances, it’s time to acknowledge and pay respects to one cold-blooded lanky

The Bernucca List – Edition 25

by

We didn’t think last week’s edition of The Bernucca List was a stumper, but apparently it was, because no one came up with the right answer. Before we give the answer and move onto this week’s list, we will give everyone another chance. So click here and don’t read any further. Give up? The list is “active coaches who have lost a Game 7 at home.” Boston’s Doc Rivers actually has lost twice in a Game 7 at home – in 2005 to

Heisler: L.A. x 2 in Elite 8: Fun (yawn) while it lasted

by

LOS ANGELES — L.A. uber alles…. As in days of yore, we are once more the center of the basketball universe with two (2) of the NBA’s remaining eight teams! Actually, it only turned out to be one day of yore… from Sunday afternoon when the Clippers upended the Grizzlies in Game 7 to Monday night when the Lakers, who had just escaped the Nuggets in their Game 7, took the floor in Oklahoma City. By Tuesday night when the Spurs wore down

Playoffs Day 17: Heat lose to Pacers, Spurs cruise past Clippers

by

It’s a beautiful morning in Indiana, along with every other place where folks drink Haterade. You see, there is no disliking the Heat. It’s not that simple. You either like them, or you hate them. (At least that’s what the folks in South Florida, especially the superstars, would have us believe.) So if you rejoice in the fourth-quarter failures of  LeBron James, you have something to celebrate today — plus you get a second helping of Hater Tots because you get to

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

Five Factors: Clippers-Spurs Playoff Preview

by

It was just a couple months ago that the “Save Vinny’s Job” homestand began for the Los Angeles Clippers. They returned home reeling from a seven-point road loss against New Orleans, the worst team in the West, and had lost eight of 12. What has happened since has been the second renaissance of the former laughingstocks of Los Angeles, and Del Negro coached his kiester off in Game 7 of the first round against the Memphis Grizzlies, riding the players
