Most (43%) thought...

Clippers Vs. Spurs - How Limited is Chris Paul?

SBN: Clips Nation (Steve Perrin) — The 2012 playoffs will be remembered for years as the injury playoffs. I certainly cannot think of any other postseason in which so many high profile players were hurt.

Rivers said KG reminded him of Ewing in that way. — Paul Flannery...

What was the Knicks' best dunk of the season? (Part One)

Posting and Toasting (Seth) — As we continue through this awkward period in which the Knicks and Knicks fans have to wait for the rest of the league to catch up to them (the Knicks came in like sixteenth in the "Which Team Can Reach the Offseason First?" race), I'd like to do more of these "Best of the Season" polls.

Paul Pierce says there is ‘nothing wrong’ with his knee, but it sure doesn’t look that way

Yahoo.com: Ball Don't Lie (Kelly Dwyer) — The truth is plain to see, as is The Truth. Boston Celtic legend Paul Pierce has not moved well at all since suffering a sprained knee in Game 4 of his team's first-round series against Atlanta. He suffered a sprained MCL, in fact, and though his next two outings against the Hawks were passable (17 points a contest on 43 percent shooting) his first two games against the Philadelphia 76ers have...
