Danny Green
After suffering a season-ending loss to the Thunder in absolutely shocking fashion, Danny Green was on twitter having a word with himself  for completely disappearing in the biggest games of his career. He went from averaging 10.4 points on 50 percent shooting while playing a key role on the defensive end in the first eight games of the postseason, to averaging 3.3 points on 28.5 percent shooting in the Western Conference Finals. He was basically kicked out of the

Check out what some of the players had to say heading into the game, along with news around the league on Wednesday.

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

Ibaka’s perfect game key to Thunder’s Game 4 win over Spurs

by

Well, if that wasn’t a perfect game, I don’t know what is. And it wasn’t just Serge Ibaka going 11-for-11 from the field. It was Kevin Durant scoring 18 of his 36 points for the Thunder down the stretch, it was the Thunder looking wiser than their years by answering every San Antonio basket in the fourth quarter with one of their own, it was Oklahoma City’s bigs exposing a gaping hole in the Spurs’ defensive capabilities down low. It was a

Bernucca: Conspiracy theories, truth and money

by

commissioner

There was a lot of talk about conspiracy theories this week. Seven years ago, the New Orleans Hornets’ outdated arena was underwater following Hurricane Katrina. They played two seasons in Oklahoma City, then returned to a city whose population had been dissipated and disenfranchised. Already one of the NBA’s smaller markets, they struggled to rebuild a consistent fan base. Their owner put the team up for sale, and the idea of relocation became a very real possibility. So the NBA gave New
