LeBron James sported this leafy red sweater following the Heat’s 110-87 win over the Bucks last night. After the Thunder’s 120-91 victory over Houston, Russell Westbrook hit the podium with a sleeveless ensemble and large medallion. I’m still waiting for one of these guys to show up dressed like this: This silliness has to end soon, [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. A rather conservative look by Rajon Rondo during an appearance Wednesday night at Nordstrom’s Fashion Week event in New York. Russell Westbrook’s matching leopard print glasses and [...]

The Thunder’s Russell Westbrook is having a tough go in the NBA Finals. His play has been erratic and he’s drawing criticism for his stubborn attitude. Sound familiar? The Globe’s Gary Washburn draws a comparison between Westbrook and Rajon Rondo. The difference is… Rondo gets criticized for his lack of aggression, while Westbrook is blasted [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder came back from a 13 point deficit and beat the Miami Heat in a thriller of a Game 1 that you had to stick around to watch.   And that turned into ratings gold, as it became the highest rated NBA Finals Game 1 in ABC’s history. The 105-94 win in Oklahoma [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat might be the toughest NBA Finals to call in quite some time.  They are alternately very similar and quite different.  They each boast a 1-2 punch that can be both explosive and inconsistent.  But, as usual, this will be a series that comes down to match-ups, and I [...]

As the end of this crazy, compressed regular season comes to a close; what may turn out to be the most exciting postseason in recent memory is set to begin. Both conferences have clear cut favorites but each with a handful of question marks and potential upsets awaiting them. Unlike previous seasons, we are hard [...]

I didn't watch enough of this game to offer legitimate analysis, but I will give the Celtics a boat load of credit for cutting a 27-point deficit (83-56 with 6:35 remaining in 3rd quarter) to 6 points late in the 4th quarter. The Celtics had two sloppy turnovers (Pietrus bad pass and KG's drop) that [...]

The Celtics put forth one helluva effort tonight, but they still fell to the Thunder, 97-88. You know they've reached rock bottom when I'm crediting effort. The Cs whittled a 10 point deficit down to 3 with 2 minutes remaining, but Russell Westbrook (26 points, 7 rebounds 4 assists, 3 steals) and Thabo Sefolosha (19 [...]
