Recently Chris Bosh and Kevin Durant have conceded that the Los Angeles Lakers have the best team in the NBA “on  paper” with their acquisitions of Steve Nash and Dwight Howard to play with Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. I have no idea why these two would say such a thing.  It’s just my opinion [...]

Oklahoma City overcame a slow start to the game to overcome the Miami Heat and take a 1-0 lead in the NBA Finals. Miami took a seven point lead into the halftime break after they were extremely hot from 3-point distance.  Heat were shooting 55% at the break while the Thunder were just under 45%. [...]

Oklahoma City Thunder have punched their ticket to play for the Larry O’Brien trophy and represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals. Thunder erased a 15-point halftime lead and defeated the Spurs in four straight games after they won 20-straight and looked like a lock to get back to the championship.  OKC took no [...]

Thunder took control of the Western Conference Finals by beating the Spurs on the road in the pivotal game five to take a 3-2 lead.  This was the first game in either conference finals series that has been won by the road team. Thunder now have a chance to close out the series in game [...]

Oklahoma City tied up the series with San Antonio at 2-2 after a great performance on both sides of the ball by the two big men, Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka.  Like coach Pop would say, they got some nasty. Serge Ibaka was absolutely on fire shooting a perfect 11-for-11 from the field.  I wanted [...]

Both Oklahoma City and San Antonio have dominated their home games to leave the series sitting at 2-1 and it’s playing out exactly how I thought it would so far. I picked Oklahoma City in seven games (a couple of posts down) and I still like that scenario even with the Spurs home dominance.  I’m [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers have their backs against the wall as they are down 3-1 to the Thunder with a presumable closeout game in Oklahoma City tonight. The last two games that the Lakers have lost are by a combined five points.  They have played well enough to be in this series, but it just [...]

Russell Westbrook looked unstoppable against the Lakers scoring a game-high 27 points on 10-for-15 from the field. He cleaned the glass for seven rebounds, handed out nine assists and turned it over one time in 27 minutes. He’s averaging 24.2 points per game, 5.2 assists, and 4.4 rebounds in five playoff games so far this [...]

The Miami Heat are hoping to pay back the Oklahoma City Thunder for the 103-87 beat down that Durant, Westbrook, and company laid on them in OKC less than two weeks ago. The Heat were beat down in Boston before bouncing back with a six point win against the 76ers last night.  The Heat play [...]

The East came back from down 21 big behind the play of LeBron James, who dropped 36 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome to West’s big three of Kobe Bryant, Russell Westbrook, and Kevin Durant. LeBron hit nine straight shots in the second half, showing off his long range, and was the most dominant [...]
