by Christopher Sells |  Yesterday, there were two very entertaining Game Sixes. One saw a team move on to the Conference Finals, another set up what should be an interesting Game Seven. Today, there is nothing. Unless you count the season tip-off for the WNBA. I didn’t think so. I’d like to believe that this was a scheduling quirk, but I have to believe that the NBA is trying to make us watch their (...).

by BSMW Full Court Press |  This was an ugly game from the start as even the jump ball was no good and had to be thrown up a second time. It was a defensive struggle right from the beginning with neither team shooting the ball well. Paul Pierce missed his first five shots before hitting a jumper with 1:10 left in the first quarter. He finished the quarter with 4 points on 2-7 shooting. Doc finally gave Eddie House a (...).

by Matthew Pincus |  All the stats in the world don't make a player legendary. I guess in the case of Oscar Robertson, averaging a triple double is a legacy, but even that barely sheds light on how great Big O was. After all, what do you remember about MJ? He averaged 37, 8 and 8 one year! You couldn't do that if you joined a middle school team! No, you remember The Shot. And The Shot 2. And the Shot 3. The Flu (...).

by Basketball John |  The big story to Jazz fans and others was that Utah got the shaft from the refs in the fourth quarter. I didn't have a problem with most of the fouls called on the Jazz, except for two. The first came when Vujacic tripped over the foul line with the ball and kicked it out of bounds. But AK was called for the foul by the ref who was on the other side of the court under the basket. How is that (...).

by Rohan of At The Hive |  [Note: Crossposted from the SB Nation Blog At the Hive] Obviously not the way I drew up Game 6. Gregg Popovich finally went to the Duncan on West switch, and boy did it pay off for them. If anyone wants to question Timothy's countless All-Defensive Team credentials, they should be directed to footage of this game, specifically his footwork. I don't know if I've ever seen a 7 footer (let alone (...).

by Christopher Sells |  This is a special feature from guest blogger Christopher Sells. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar isn’t bitter about Robert Horry breaking his record for most playoff games played. This is refreshing because so many older players seem to forget that records are made to be broken and that the record they hold was once held by someone else. While Kareem isn’t upset, he does want you to know that (...).

by Regnard Raquedan |  The Los Angeles Lakers are one win away from going to the Western Conference Finals after beating the Utah Jazz in Game 5, 111-104. Kobe Bryant did score the most points for the Lakers but four other Lakers took more shots than him. Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Sasha Vujacic, and Vladimir Radmanovic all took more than Kobe's ten field goal attempts. Kobe did make 13 out of 17 free throws to lead (...).

by BSMW Full Court Press |  Ho hum. Another home playoff game, another victory for the Boston Celtics, 96-89 at the expense of the Cleveland Cavaliers. In the end, Boston played just well enough to win, likely leaving Cleveland with that nagging feeling that they let another road game squeak away from them. The Big Three for Boston (in this case, Rajon Rondo, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, in that order) combined for 75 (...).

by Matthew Pincus |  After Game 3 I was excited. Everything went right throughout the game and I was brimming with joy thinking about it. More than reliving it, I wanted to fast forward to Game 4 so we could do it again. That anxious feeling is what makes sports great and playoff basketball maddening. Luckily for me, Game 6 comes soon enough, Friday, because this game leaves me with that same feeling. There is a (...).

by Natalie Sitto |  Despite a bad offensive game and the fact that Detroit was again without their All Star point guard and floor general Chauncey Billups, the Pistons closed out their series with The Orlando Magic in another game that went down the wire. Detroit set a NBA playoff record Tuesday night in their 91-86 victory against Orlando by committing just three turnovers in the game, none of which came in a (...).

by Christopher Sells |  This is a special feature from guest blogger Christopher Sells. Being a fan of the Rockets, I’ve had to learn how to watch playoff basketball objectively. This is because my team will probably not be in the second round. This has been true for the last ten years. As such, I’ve had a lot of practice watching without picking sides. With that being said, I really want the San Antonio (...).
