Evening News: Splitter and Spurs near deal; West to re-sign in Indy; Bulls waive Hamilton
SH Blog: Kidd “close” to being hired as Nets coach; Saric could withdraw from draft
Not long ago, Jason Kidd still had two seasons left on his contract with the Knicks. Now it looks like he’ll still be in New York, but not with the Knicks, and not as a player. News came seemingly non-stop over the last 48 hours with Kidd going from a long-shot pipe dream to a potential candidate to an actual candidate to a clear-frontrunner. That’s the way things go in the NBA sometimes. If you take a day off, you could miss
Tweet of the Night: Steve Kerr downplays LeBron’s block against Splitter in Game 2
Ever since LeBron James stuffed the life out of a Tiago Splitter’s emphatic dunk attempt in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, twitter has been buzzing about the play. Some still couldn’t get over the greatness of it the next day, some wanted to compare it to other great blocks of this postseason (Roy Hibbert’s block on Carmelo Anthony’s dunk attempt, in particular), while others downplayed the hype due to the fact that the block came while the Miami Heat

MIAMI – In Game 1 of the NBA Finals, LeBron James had great numbers – 18 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists for a triple-double. But the most important number for James might have been 12. James played all 12 minutes of the third quarter, which admittedly drained him to some extent before the beginning of the pivotal final period. That was when the San Antonio Spurs overtook the suddenly sloppy Miami Heat and escaped with a 92-88 victory that now has
Video: Which Role Players Will Play the Biggest Roles?
Shane Battier was benched in Game 7 against the Indiana Pacers. Will he re-emerge as a key component for the Miami Heat, or will his minutes be handed over to Norris Cole — perhaps the only guard on the Miami roster who has the speed to defend Tony Parker end-to-end? And for the San Antonio Spurs, there has been a lot of talk about championship experience. But when you look a little deeper, that argument doesn’t hold water. [Read more…]

Sheridan Video: Spurs Will Win in 7 Because …
