NBCSports.com: ProBasketballTalk (Brett Pollakoff) —
During the Thunder’s playoff run last season — one that ended in a loss in the Conference Finals to the eventual champion Mavericks — there were constant questions about whether or not Russell Westbrook was a good long-term fit to play alongside Kevin Durant. One year later, now on the verge of taking down the…
Yahoo.com: Ball Don't Lie (Eric Freeman) —
The Okahoma City Thunder are a young team, and many fans and observers believe they still need to prove their mettle in close, tense playoff games. Saturday night's Game 4 against the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center was one of those games, with the Lakers jumping out to a quick double-digit lead and holding a nine-point advantage heading into the final quarter. By all possible measures,...
Yahoo.com: Ball Don't Lie (Kelly Dwyer) —
The Oklahoma City Thunder had the best record in the tough Western conference for most of the season, and they've yet to lose in six postseason games. The Los Angeles Lakers, meanwhile, struggled through an up and down regular season, and the team has lost nine of its last 13 playoff games, dating back the group's second round sweep at the hands of the champion Dallas Mavericks last year. An...
SBN: Raptors HQ (Adam Francis) —
One of the best things about Twitter is its randomness. Like earlier today, I'm scrolling through the old HQ Twitter feed and see the following headline: Georgios Printezis unlikely to make leap to the Knicks. Printezis! Remember him? You don't? Well here's a refresher. Printezis is a 6-9 Greek forward who currently plays for Olympiacos but who at one...

Yahoo! Sports Box Score: Last night's 77-75 result was a total contrast to Game 1, where the Thunder scored a whopping 119 points on their way to an easy victory. The offense was on pace for a normal game early on in the first half, but things totally halted in the second half. Here's some of the reasons why. Kevin Durant didn't take a single contested shot. Every look he got was clean,...
Yahoo.com: Ball Don't Lie (Dan Devine) —
After an Andrew Bynum bucket with 2:08 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers looked to be sitting pretty. They held a seven-point lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder thanks to nearly 46 minutes of gritty ground-and-pound that made the postseason's best offense — yes, the Thunder entered Wednesday night averaging more points per 100 playoff possessions than even the San...

Jeremy Lin began his career with the Golden State Warriors; and if his former team can take advantage of a loophole in the CBA, he might return there next season

Via NY Post In a footnote to December’s Tyson Chandler sign-and-trade, the Mavericks included the draft rights to Georgios Printezis, an Athens-born forward who won the Greek Slam-Dunk contest in 2007. Now 27, he was selected in the second round … Continue reading →
SBN: Raptors HQ (Adam Francis) —
So far in our "Who'd You Rather Be" series, the vote has been in favour of the opposition. Both the Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz were voted, both by readers, writers and opposing team bloggers, as being in preferable overall positions to the Toronto Raptors as of now. The reasons varied, from current talent to management and ownership and it's obvious that the Raps are going to be in...
SBN: Orlando Pinstriped Post (Evan Dunlap) —
Eight days have passed since the Indiana Pacers eliminated the Orlando Magic in the first round of the 2012 NBA Playoffs, but Orlando has yet to announce any decision on the futures of head coach Stan Van Gundy or Otis Smith, the team's President of Basketball Operations. Though he offers no explanation for the delay, Chad Ford of ESPN.com said in a chat Wednesday, "I think you'll see...
Posting and Toasting (Seth) —
It's a quiet day, so I figure now's a good time to have this talk. Oh, no! Not like a "talk". Just a fun little discussion. Relax. The Knicks won 36 games this season. I spent the last little while combing through the recaps and threads and determined that quite a few of those wins were easy/uninteresting or embarrassingly close ones over bad teams. A handful of them, though, were real...

SBN: Raptors HQ (Adam Francis) —
In their continuing look at how the Raps stack up against this year's playoff clubs, the HQ turns its attention to the Orlando Magic ... When we launched our "Who'd You Rather Be" series last week, I couldn't help but have the Metric song, "Gimme Sympathy," stuck in my head. One of the singles off their last album, the chorus features Metric lead singer Emily Haines asking the age-old...
Yahoo.com: Ball Don't Lie (Dan Devine) —
After Chris Bosh's Game 1 abdominal strain changed the landscape of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Indiana Pacers took advantage of their opportunity in Game 2, scratching out a 78-75 win over the Heat on Tuesday night. It wasn't pretty — the two teams combined to miss 97 field goals in 48 minutes of basketball, including 10 in the final 2:15 of the fourth quarter, as well as 17...
Stepien Rules (Brendan1916@aol.com (Brendan Bowers)) —
There isn't one word I could use to adequately describe the vibe I felt floating around inside Cleveland Clinic Courts on Tuesday. If I was forced to choose one however, while ensconced in a headlock, I'd pick from a list that included the following: refreshing, surreal, proud, exciting, youthful, celebratory, hopeful and cool. Any thoughts or feelings along the lines of defiance, revenge, or...
