nbPacers13_t607

  The first half of this game looked like the Thunder were determined to tie this series. Oklahoma City had Memphis playing passive basketball, while Serge Ibaka was reborn on the offensive end. He was making shots inside and out, a rarity in this series. The Thunder even held a 17-point during the second quarter.   The end of the first...

  At the start of the game, you just got the feeling that the Houston Rockets had new life. From the second quarter on, they had more than that…they had the lead.

  Rockets head coach Kevin McHale made a bold move for Game 2 in Oklahoma City. He pulled his starting PF Greg Smith and went with a small starting lineup. Back-up PG Patrick Beverley is now the starting SG in Houston.   The move, which originally reeked of panic, got the desired effect. Houston matched the Thunder‘s speed and...

Should Blake Griffin have retaliated?

  I don’t think Blake Griffin is soft. The man is just a shooting guard in a power forward’s body. He prefers to go over and around guys as opposed to just plain bullying them inside. Regardless, he’s still a beast who few players want to matchup with downcourt. That being said, when Griffin reacts to...

Ibaka facing suspension?

  Reputation or no reputation, I don’t see a way that Serge Ibaka avoids suspension for what he did to Blake Griffin on Sunday afternoon. As the Los Angeles Clippers mounted a furious comeback late in the game, Griffin was repeatedly giving his team second chance opportunities off the offensive glass. Ibaka then decided...

It turns out that both those teams have a beef with Fisher’s new gig. Mark Cuban was “agitated” by the recent transaction, according to...
