“For the series, the Heat have scored 131.7 points per 100 possessions when James is on the floor without Wade, and just 100.8 when the two have shared the floor, per NBA.com. The Heat are minus-12 for the series, but…

One paragraph of instant reaction to one of the greatest NBA games I’ve ever seen: It’s tough to escape the feeling that San Antonio’s chance was tonight. Not only did they get THE DUNCAN GAME (30 points 17 rebounds) but…

Another huge LeBron Game 6 tonight, and it never hurts to remember Puck.

Off the court, I’m a nice guy. On the court, I want to play. I’m a guy who wants to win. That’s what it takes to be the best. I’m not just looking to get drafted. I’m looking for my…

Fact: My prediction that the Heat would sweep Games 3 through 5 in San Antonio was incorrect. UNBELIEVABLY incorrect. Like, the-Spurs-won-Game 3-by-36-points incorrect. As my wise Uncle Eric* explained to me in that comments section, the Spurs’ team approach would…

I don’t do a lot of predictions here because, well, I know that nobody really cares about them. But here goes: Miami is going to win every one of the three upcoming games in San Antonio and at least two…

Today marks the 20th Anniversary of Petrovic’s death, seems appropriate to re-post this one that looked back on his Portland days with Rick Adelman. RIP.

Well, the playoffs might have just gotten interesting. If we’re being honest, these playoffs haven’t been too good. There have been some great games, yes. Chicago stunning the Heat in Game 1 without Derrick Rose, Chris Paul going mano a…

Henry Abbott: If I’m David Stern, I want dunks. I want people watching that on TV, on smartphones all over China. Someone wrapping him up, or throwing him to the floor … it’s not good TV. It helps your team,…

The 1994 Knicks were the first NBA basketball team that I can remember caring about. Born in ’82 I was 11 years old during those Playoffs. Minnesota’s team was in its fifth season and won 20 games; this after winning…

Almost exactly one year ago tonight, Dwyane Wade chewed out his coach, Erik Spoelstra. Not behind the scenes away from his team or even the media, but in the middle of a blowout, Game 3 loss at Indiana in the…

An outgrowth of the sports-fan aging process is the urge to no longer observe in the present, but in historical context where players compete not only against one another but against ghosts that once occupied that field or floor, or…

I hope you are enjoying the playoffs, as I am. Opening Weekend was kind of a dud, filled with high seeds trouncing low seeds. That changed quickly in the Game 2’s. Chicago rallied to win at Brooklyn, splitting that series…

The Wolves bested the two-seed-bound Spurs by 13 points in the season’s final game. Williams led the way again with 21 points. He had a 360 dunk. The team hit over 40 percent of its threes! Even Ricky had it…

The hopeful headline in tomorrow’s paper will be that Wolves coach Rick Adelman reached the 1,000-win mark. A win over the Raptors would vault Adelman’s already-legend status into another tier, joining the likes of Pat Riley, George Karl and Lenny…

Late in my freshman season in college I was getting some rare playing time during a blowout loss at St. John’s when I found myself defending a two on one fast break. As the three of us approached the basket,…

This was the takeaway from last night’s game. Everything else was about as expected. Lopsided loss (21st consecutive to LaLa), another injury to a key player (Pek) and an all around look of hopelessness. I’ll have more tomorrow.
