by Rohan of At The Hive |  It was our second straight Game 3 loss on the road. But unlike in Dallas, we executed well until the very end. Honestly, I can’t complain much about the Hornets’ effort at all. Tip your hat to Tony Parker for a fantastic game, credit Ginobili for being much more aggressive, and credit Duncan for beating West to loose ball after loose ball. New Orleans started off with great (...).

by BSMW Full Court Press |  Steve Miller may be the Gangster of Love but the Boston Celtics have firmly established themselves as the Gangsters of Team Defense. In this order, it was defense, depth and determination that were the drivers behind Boston’s decisive Game 2 victory over Cleveland, 89-73. As noted above, Boston’s defense was once again stifling, especially over the final 40 minutes of the game in (...).

by Basketball John |  Stop me if you've heard this one before. The Jazz have one poor quarter. Boozer does jack on either end. The Jazz get down double digits. The backups lead a comeback in the final quarter, only to fall short. Second verse, same as the first. Utah is known for their strict liquor laws. It's all watered down. But maybe the legislators need to call a special session to up the alcohol content (...).

by Natalie Sitto |  The Orlando Magic took care of business Wednesday night on their home court in Game Three of their second round matchup against The Detroit Pistons. Rashard Lewis scored a career playoff high 33 points for The Magic in an emotional 111-86 win in front of their home crowd. Dwight Howard put up big numbers again with 20 points, 12 rebounds while racking up 6 impressive blocked shots in the much (...).

by Matthew Pincus |  The optimist in me wants to feel good about this game. After all, at tip-off Thursday, we're still only down 1-0 with a chance to steal home court. And there's more. We held the Three Amigos to 85 points per 100 possessions. LeBron nearly went for a triple double (*ahem* quadruple double). Mike Brown even got creative in putting pressure on the double teams LeBron saw. That's right, tonight (...).

by BSMW Full Court Press |  I’m at the game again, in this case Game One of the Eastern Conference Semis between Boston and Cleveland, so I’ll be offering my thoughts in stream-of-consciousness style as the game evening progresses. Here goes. Pregame Fluff Before the game, I run down Wally Szczerbiak’s game logs from the Round One series and find myself startled. No, not by his atrocious defense (...).
|
by Natalie Sitto |  There will be talk, talk for the rest of The Pistons–Magic series about the shot clock malfunction that allowed a three pointer to count at the end of the third quarter that shouldn’t have. Chauncey Billups knocked down a 3-pointer with 0.5 seconds left in the third, the clock clearly stopped mid play and the officials weren’t able to look at the replay due to the rules. The (...).

by BSMW Full Court Press |  Wow. Crisis averted, and in resounding fashion with a 99-65 Boston win. After dealing with a noisy chorus of doubters and some well-deserved criticism for letting this series go seven games, the Celtics did their answering on the court by delivering an epic beating of the Hawks in the deciding contest. This wasn’t the kind of game that warrants a traditional recap so we’ll zoom (...).

by Chase Kuech |  The 2008 Atlanta Hawks have already done many things no one thought they would do this season, including making the playoffs at all and taking the best team in the NBA to 7 games. Very few people thought the Hawks would make the playoffs, even in an extremely weak Eastern Conference, but the team played well down the stretch and managed to slip into the 8th spot. Then, matched up against the (...).

by Rohan of At The Hive |  Well, I caught the game on TNT, and unfortunately I have to say I never saw as many Peja heads, or "Serb-sickles" as expected; all I got were a few fleeting glimpses of them running around after a Predrag triple. But instead of drowning you in my despair about the lack of coverage the Peja heads received on TNT, good news everyone, the Hornets won! 1) The biggest story had to be Hugo as Super (...).

by Natalie Sitto |  The Detroit Pistons and The Orlando Magic faced off in Game One of the second round Saturday evening in Detroit. What did Detroit accomplish besides a convincing 91-72 win on their home court? They tamed the beast that is Dwight Howard. Howard, who was averaging 22 points and 18 boards in Orlando’s first round series with The Raptors, was corralled by the a number of Pistons bodies that (...).
