Thunder Lose Control of Conley, Series
Posted on 8 May 2013 by Steven Jones.
It may be time to stop wondering how the Oklahoma City Thunder – now tied at 1-1 in the Western Conference Semifinals after Tuesday's 99-93 loss – can deal with Memphis' vaunted inside tandem, Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, because Mike Conley is presenting much more of a problem. His Game 1 numbers were pedestrian – 5-15 field goals, 13 points, 5 assists – but he catalyz...

OKC Goes to Its Silver Linings Playbook
Posted on 30 Apr 2013 by Steven Jones.
It has been nearly a week since surgery ended Russell Westbrook's season, and reality is sinking in for his team, which suffered a painful 105-103 loss to Houston in Monday's Game 4. After suffering the loss of their star guard and their chance at a first-round sweep, Westbrook's teammates have hopefully moved through the first four stages of grief. Now, in acceptance, they can acknowledge some...

NBA Free Agents Looking for Work
Posted on 24 Sep 2012 by Warren Shaw.
The NBA off season has been a roller coaster of free agent signings, unexpected amnesties, and sometimes meaningless workouts. Now the season's start is within eyesight as Summer turns to Fall, yet a few players are still without a place to display their talents. Some of these NBA “unemployed” are victims of their own greed, over valuing their current abilities. Some are paying for ...

Westbrook Tragic Hero in Painful OKC Loss
Posted on 20 Jun 2012 by Steven Jones.
James Worthy. Isiah Thomas. Magic Johnson. Russell Westbrook, you're in good company. With your needless foul that essentially ended your team's chances in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, you joined the above list, tentatively titled, “All-Time Greats Who Made a Foolish Error That Cost Their Teams a Huge Playoff Game.” All three of the players listed above played in many more critical gam...

Thunder Can’t Protect Basket From Late Spurs Surge
Posted on 28 May 2012 by Steven Jones.
Manu Ginobili has spent almost a decade as the NBA's undisputed King of the Unconventional (Lefty) Sixth Men. Tonight, facing the greatest challenger to his throne, he made his strongest statement. Scoring 11 points in a come-from-behind fourth quarter, all on layups and free throws, Ginobili showed James Harden how much he and his beard still have to learn. He set the tone for a Spurs team tha...

Heat Outfight Thunder
Posted on 5 Apr 2012 by Steven Jones.
Eleven days after they last clashed, the Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat battled through the most intense game of the year. Miami emerged victorious – “survived” might be a more appropriate term. In doing so, they inspired the visiting Thunder to some of their greatest heights, and exposed their few remaining holes. Height – Maturity: After pressing too hard in the ...

Thunder Stomp Out Lob City
Posted on 21 Mar 2012 by Steven Jones.
Nobody was Tweeting about Blake Griffin tonight. The last Griffin's Los Angeles Clippers tangled with the Oklahoma City Thunder, his earthshaking dunk over Kendrick Perkins punctuated a blowout Lob City victory that seemed to expose some serious OKC flaws. The Clippers' outside shooting was as hot tonight (12-26 three-pointers) as it had been on January 30 (when they hit 13-25). Inside of 25 fe...

Howard Spoils Media Bash
Posted on 17 Mar 2012 by Steven Keys.
They had on their paper-hats and the streamers were ready to pop. The jets were warming up on the tarmacs waiting to fly masses of media onto Dwight Howard’s new digs. Then Superman crashed the party. Came in through the wall, as usual. Even with all the guff LeBron James takes from scribes, deep down inside, the media really loves the dude. Why? He gives ‘em the one thing that matters most...

Lakeshow Trade Veteran Leader for Youth Infusion
Posted on 16 Mar 2012 by Arthur Kai.
And just like that, the “Player President” has been traded away from L.A. Talk about some misdirection. The Los Angeles Lakers trade Derek Fisher and a draft pick acquired in the Lamar Odom to Dallas deal, to the Houston Rockets for power forward Jordan Hill. Hill was drafted by the New York Knicks with the 8th overall pick in the 2009 draft. Hill could possibly be the ultimate en...

Lakeshow Get Big Win on The Road Against Defending Champs
Posted on 23 Feb 2012 by Arthur Kai.
The Los Angeles Lakers got a “just what the doctor ordered” type of victory last night against the Dallas Mavericks 96-91, on the road of all places. Yesterday's game wasn't just about the Lakers getting a big road win, it was a display of the united front of the 14 players on the Lakers roster. This game not only showed that this squad could actually be possible contenders if they ...

Lakers Melt to Heat Due to Lazy 1st Half
Posted on 11 Mar 2011 by Donovan Williams.
That 1st half was hard to watch. Pau, Bynum and Odom all slapping and batting rebound opportunities and not getting them. Kobe, D-Fish, Steve Blake and Shannon Brown not running out on Mario Chalmers and Mike Miller for open 3 point shots. The high level of defense the Lakers played during their winning streak eluded them on Thursday night. Oh well. Time to move on. Lakers will probably go thro...

Jerry West Says Laker Championship Window is Closing
Posted on 25 Jan 2011 by Donovan Williams.
Jerry West made news yesterday by stating the obvious. The Lakers are old. Let’s take a look at West’s comments taken from the OC Weekly: “I don't think the Lakers will be good for much longer,” West predicted. “You can keep a car running for a long time by changing the tires, etc. But you can't change a player's tires.” He also called them “long in the tooth.” M...
