Pacers forward Paul George threw down a poster dunk over Heat center Chris “The Birdman” Andersen during the third quarter of Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals on Friday night.

No second chances: For much of the season, the Grizzlies’ best offense has been to throw the ball at the rim, then let Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol score on offensive putbacks. Memphis enjoyed a 19-4 edge on the offensive glass in Game 2 but converted those second chances into only eight points. Expect that [...]

Following the San Antonio Spurs' Game 2 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday, our own Eric Freeman wondered whether Grizzlies guard Tony Allen — renowned throughout the league as one of the toughest, most physical, hardest-nosed players in the game — faked the severity of any injury he might have sustained when fouled on a layup attempt in the final minute of regulation by Spurs guard...

In Hollywood, they call that chewing up the scenery. Memphis guard Tony Allen has been fined $5,000 by the league for his overacting — technically violating the league’s anti-flopping policy — on that play. Make no mistake, Manu Ginobili fouled Allen hard on this crucial late-game play — the Grizzlies were down four with :26…

The NBA announced Friday that Grizzlies guard Tony Allen has been fined $5,000 for flopping during a 93-89 loss to the Spurs in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals on May 21. Allen becomes the fourth player fined under the league’s stiffer postseason policy, which eliminated the free warning given during the regular season and […]

There is never a good time for a relationship to end or divorce proceedings to be put into place, even if the move is necessary and agreed upon by both sides. Working through a divorce trial while working as an All-NBA member of a team two wins away from the NBA Finals, though, would be quite the mental task. It has not been completely confirmed by the player, team, or representatives, but...

Memphis is in a hole, but Tony Allen and the Grizzlies are ready to grind their way back into the series, writes Ramona Shelburne.

"I don't know if you could say I won the jump ball. But I didn't lose the jump ball." — San Antonio Spurs forward Matt Bonner, who is the best, to Deadspin's Alan Siegel in a "brief oral history" of his hilarious jump ball vs. Memphis Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph early in the fourth quarter of the Spurs' Game 2 win over the Grizzlies on Tuesday. Do yourself the service of heading over...
MySA.com (Dan McCarney) —
To say that Zach Randolph, the harbinger of San Antonio’s doom in 2011, has been a non-factor so far in Spurs/Grizzlies II would be an understatement. The endomorphic power forward is shooting a pitiful 7 for 26 from the floor through two games, a huge reason why the Grizzlies are down 2-0 entering Game 3 [...]

No, for real — that headline is true. Check out this game story (and accompanying photo) from the Milwaukee Bucks' win over the Seattle Supersonics on Jan. 25, 1972, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's third year in the league (click the image for a larger version): For those who don't feel quite like reading the fine newsprint, here's Milwaukee Journal scribe Bob Wolf's account: As far as the...

Free Agency is one of the few topics Kings fans don't claim to have expertise on because for the most part, the Kings have historically not been very active on the Free Agent market. The highest profile signing in Kings history was back in 1998 when the team made Vlade Divac one of the top paid Centers in the NBA (5 years, $40 million). In recent memory the biggest signing the Kings have made...
SBN: Welcome to Loud City (J.A. Sherman) —
The Thunder are down and out until next season, when we hope that the phoenix will once again be reborn and rise from the ashes. For me however, and hopefully for you, that doesn't mean that basketball stops. Basketball never stops. In this space I plan to recount my impressions of the playoffs from here on out. I don't plan on doing any recapping or other such things, we have some amazing...

The plane is on autopilot right now. That’s fine. It’s in the middle of the flight. There’s no turbulence. It’s gliding through the smoothest air particles possible as it graces over the Pacific. But the plane is still on autopilot and it needs to land eventually. The Clippers have to find their pilot. As of now, there are too many candidates. How many names have we heard that are...
SBN: Clips Nation (Steve Perrin) —
For the second consecutive season, the Los Angeles Clippers placed two players on the All-NBA teams , with Chris Paul being named to the first team and Blake Griffin being named to the second team. The honors are well deserved and not in the least surprising. For Paul it is his sixth All-NBA selection and the fourth time he's been named to the first team, including three years in a row....

The network suits at TNT have to be happy they have the rights to the Eastern Conference finals — they got the Heat and LeBron James to showcase. Indiana may be a small market to go against them (you know the network was pulling for the Knicks last round) but at least they have crossover…
