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

In the meantime, check out some of the news around the league on Monday from possible player movements, game evaluations, and off-season activity from players that are in full vacation mode. Is the criticism on Russell Westbrook being selfish warranted? Darnell Mayberry discusses why it is not warranted: The point guard who continues to be a lightening rod for criticism for everything from his shot selection to his body language

D’Angelo: Heat’s stars fail in the end as Celtics even series 2-2

by

BOSTON — When LeBron James and Chris Bosh decided to join Dwyane Wade two years ago, the thought was the South Beach Trio one day would snatch the torch from the original Big Three of the modern era, Boston’s Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. And on Sunday night, James and Wade each had an opportunity to start the final countdown to a new championship era, and each fell short, breathing life into a team that was counted out just

Celtics rout Heat to make East finals 2-1, too

by

(via @Jose3030)

Chances are you didn’t stay glued to the TV set long enough to see the glorious return of Dexter Pittman. He was on his best behavior for the final 56 seconds of the game, even though he had a Lance Stephensonish target if he had chosen in the form of E-Twaun Moore. Never heard of Moore? Well, garbage time will often reveal a little something, like the identity of the 12th man on the Celtics roster. That would

Playoffs: Rondo’s best game ever not enough in OT loss to Heat

by

Let’s get a little overly dramatic here, shall we? On what will forever be known as Black Wednesday everywhere from Boston to Brooklyn to Beijing to Barcelona, commissioner David Stern’s referees swallowed their whistles when Rajon Rondo got whacked in the forehead late in overtime, and Stern’s ping-pong ball machine magically delivered the No. 1 pick in the draft to the league-owned New Orleans Hornets — all on the same night Stern sounded as though he endorsed the idea of banning

The NBA draft lottery is set for tonight at 8 p.m. ET, with Game 2 of the Celtics-Heat series coming up at 8:30 p.m. In the meantime, take a gander at some of the news from around the NBA on Wednesday. After convincingly losing Game 1, Rajon Rondo stated “Nothing dirty, but they have to hit the deck, too.’’ Knowing that the Celtics want to get more physical, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade had their say on the matter: “I expect to be quote,

Perkins: Is Wade-James duo as good as Stockton-Malone?

by

MIAMI – This one was way too easy for Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, the current Stockton and Malone of the NBA. With well-known headhunters such as Lennox Lewis and Ndamukong Suh sitting in the AmericanAirlines Arena crowd (suspended center Dexter Pittman would have felt right at home), Wade and James put a 93-79 two-man hurt on the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference finals series. And that raises an interesting question… Could this Wade-James duo – in only its

Sheridan: Celtics, Thunder not done but have big tasks ahead

by

// After hanging around for a half, the Boston Celtics disappeared in the second half of their Eastern Conference finals opener vs. the Miami Heat. Before we vault Miami into the NBA Finals, however, let’s remember that the Celtics have had some stinkers in each of their first two playoff rounds and have bounced back rather nicely. The Celtics have the experience and character to get back in their series with the Heat, but there are a number of things
