2012 NBA Finals, Game 4 – LeBron James Overcomes, Russell Westbrook Not Enough

Posted on 20 Jun, 2012, by in Basketball

Russell Westbrook had the shooting night of his life, finishing with 43 points and producing numbers rarely seen in NBA Finals series over the last 25 years. But it wasn’t enough. What the Oklahoma City Thunder brought to the table wasn’t enough. The Miami Heat showed more than just a hobbling LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. As the playoffs progress, this turns out to be much more than just a 2.5 superstars team. More

2012 NBA Finals – Game 4 Predictions

Posted on 19 Jun, 2012, by in Basketball

The situation? Oddly familiar. The Miami Heat went into Game 4 last year with a 2-1 lead as well. The Oklahoma City Thunder lost two straight games in the Western Conference Finals before making a sweeping comeback. But LeBron James is a different player than he was a year ago, the Miami Heat a different team. More

Posted on 4 Jun, 2012, by in Basketball

Overtime for the second time, but the Boston Celtics, just barely, come out on top. No legendary night from Rajon Rondo, just a very good one – same goes for Kevin Garnett. On the other end, for the Miami Heat, Dwyane Wade missed the potentially game winning shot, while LeBron James had to sit out the ending after fouling out. More

Kevin Durant in Historic Fourth Quarter for Him and Oklahoma City Thunder

Posted on 3 Jun, 2012, by in Basketball

There are always a few heroes to every tough postseason win, but Kevin Durant was so good, so unstoppable in the fourth quarter, scoring 18 points out of his game high 36 that it eclipsed every good thing anyone on the Thunder or Spurs’ team did or tried to, leading Oklahoma to a 109-103 win, tying the series in 2-2.

Knicks over Heat – Carmelo Anthony and the Small Hope That Remains

Posted on 7 May, 2012, by in Basketball

Carmelo Anthony was having a terrible series up until Game 3. But then, he saw Shane Battier guarding him in crunch time and not LeBron James. With Amare Stoudemire at his side, Anthony scored 41 point, leading the New York Knicks to their first playoff win in 11 years. More

James Harden Can Be the Hero for the Thunder Sometimes

Posted on 6 May, 2012, by in Basketball

James Harden isn’t an All-Star like his two more prolific teammates, Westbrook and Durant, but his ability to score coming off the bench is just as important to the Thunder’s success. It was his scoring (29 points) that put his team back in the game, en route to a 103-97 win and a dominant sweep over the 2011 NBA Champions, the Dallas Mavericks. More

O LeBron James, Where Art Thou?

Posted on 8 Jun, 2011, by in Featured

Dwyane Wade looked around, but couldn’t find LeBron James, hiding in the corner, giving up on shot after shot. What’s wrong with the best player in the NBA? Why is he falling apart in the Finals? More

LeBron James Nearly Done With Rose and Bulls

Posted on 25 May, 2011, by in Basketball

LeBron James didn’t need Dwyane Wade this time. James scored 35 points, shut down Dwyane Wade and did everything and anything needed to get the Miami Heat closer to the NBA finals with the 101-93 overtime win over the Chicago Bulls, taking a 3-1 lead. More

Dirk Nowitzki Can’t be Stopped in Incredible Mavs Comeback

Posted on 24 May, 2011, by in Basketball

Is it still a surprise? Dirk Nowitzki scored 40 points last night for the Dallas Mavericks, his second 40+ night in the series and his 7th post season 40 night in his career. He led a crazy comeback by the Mavs, turning a 15 point deficit with five minutes to go into a 112-105 overtime win, a 3-1 series lead and one win away from their first NBA finals since 2006, the year of the great collapse.
