Posted on 17 May 2012 by Steven Jones.
Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals saw the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers engage in their best Boston-Philly impression, with the Thunder escaping for a 77-75 victory.

LOSING AT HOME COULD BE JUST WHAT MIAMI NEEDED
Posted on 16 May 2012 by Sean Eckhardt.
Let the criticism begin. LeBron can't make free throws when it counts. Wade is shooting 35% in the first two games and missed a lay-up. Oh yeah, and everybody else on the Heat's roster sucks. Those are the things being said on TV and heard on sports radio, and right now the first two are true. The resentment towards the rest of the Miami squad is a little harsh. While the supportin...

LakeShow Gets Blasted by OKC
Posted on 15 May 2012 by Arthur Kai.
The Los Angeles Lakers get demolished on the road in Game 1 against the Oklahoma City Thunder 119-90. This game can be summed up in one word. Smackage! Yes, the lost was so bad that I had to invent a new word in the English vocabulary to capture the full essence of how the Lakeshow were basically man-handled. Kobe Bryant showed up last night, not the Black Mamba who could impose his will on a...

Thunder Approach Perfection in Blowout
Posted on 15 May 2012 by Steven Jones.
The Oklahoma City Thunder waited the past seven days for a second-round opponent. One game later, they're still waiting. The visiting Los Angeles Lakers showed every bit of the exhaustion from their Round 1 battle with Denver, playing one decent quarter before collapsing in a heap of errant shots and botched defensive assignments. It's dangerous to jump to conclusions after one game, especially...

LeBron James received his 2012 MVP award over the weekend, then the Miami Heat put a scare into their fans on Sunday afternoon as they were unable to beat down the Pacers until the very end.

The injury was certainly str...

Spurs vs. Clippers Preview: Why the Spurs Should Win… and Why They Won’t
Posted on 14 May 2012 by Nick Jones.
While waiting to write this Semifinals piece all week while the Clippers and Grizzlies battled it out, I kept wondering who I would rather face if I were the Spurs. The easy answer would be the Grizzlies. The Spurs went 4-0 against the Grizzlies and most of the games weren't all that close. They went only 2-1 against the Clips, winning one in overtime. But is anything ever that simple? I'll sav...
