NEW YORK — The NBA’s VP of violence has spoken, and the latest instance of violence in the Association will not go unpunished. Indiana’s Roy Hibbert and Golden State’s David Lee have each been suspended one game without pay for instigating an altercation that spilled into the stands at Bankers Life Fieldhouse during the Pacers’ victory over Golden State on Tuesday night.

According to their head coach, Gregg Popovich, none of that matters. [Read more…]
While one might be the loneliest number according to “Three Dog Night”, four was the most exciting number in the NBA last night, as in fourth quarter. 11 games were on the NBA docket for Wednesday night. The Lakers honored Dr. Jerry Buss while a current legend passed a former legend, the Knicks were flattened by Indiana, the Heat was turned on in the fourth quarter in Atlanta and Kyrie Irving pulled victory from defeat in Cleveland. As we head into Thursday,
