NBA Playoffs 2011

LeBron James Shuts Down Narrow-Minded Gregg Doyel’s Question After Game

If you thought that LeBron James‘ performance at the end of Game 5 against the Bulls put an end to the conversation about him not being clutch, you were wrong. Some media personalities who are controversial for the sake of being controversial …

Mario Chalmers Backcourt Violation Means 3-Pointer Should Not Have Counted (Video)

Mario Chalmers drained a three-pointer at the end of the first quarter of Game 3, giving Miami a 29-22 lead. The question is did the Heat commit a backcourt violation on the play? The answer is yes. Front court had been established by Udonis Haslem …

Chris Bosh Poked in the Eye by Jason Kidd, Not a Flop (Video)

For as much as we’ve mocked Chris Bosh over the season — for many deserved reasons (like this) — it was disappointing to see so many people criticizing him for a “flop” in the first quarter of Game 3. While it looked …

Dwyane Wade: Miami Heat Won’t Stop Celebrating After Great Plays

The Miami Heat got Thunder’d by the Dallas Mavericks in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Much like Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals where Oklahoma City was up by 15 with five minutes to play and lost 112-105 in overtime, the Heat also blew a …

Shawn Marion on Mavericks as Underdogs: ‘I Don’t Give a F***’

If Shawn Marion has hopped on LBS yet today (since we know he does every day), he would probably have a few things to say about our man Patrick’s guide for picking the winner of the NBA Finals.  While the guide is terrific and certainly worth a …

Most Media Members Don’t Deserve to Praise LeBron if Miami Heat Win it All

The Heat open up their series against the Dallas Mavericks at home, and they’re in a place many doubters did not expect them to be: the NBA Finals. People prayed, dreamed, wished, and hoped that the Heat would fail this season, and they took …

Jason Terry Will Get Championship Tattoo Removed if Mavericks Don’t Win

On Thursday we passed along the story of Mavericks guard Jason Terry who got a tattoo of the Larry O’Brien Trophy before the season began. Terry got the tat in October despite his team being lower in the preseason odds to win it all than a …

LeBron James Played Superb Defense on Derrick Rose

Derrick Rose had a sub-par series in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat. Though he averaged 23.4 points per game for the series, he needed 24 shots per game to get there, and he only shot 35% on field goals and a brutal 23.3% on …

LeBron James Flops Perfectly Against Derrick Rose (Video)

First and foremost, I would like to congratulate LB on his pre-playoff NBA Champion knocking mine out of contention on Thursday night.  Although I love Dirk and am rooting hard for the Mavericks (along with everyone else), I think the Heat are going …

Joakim Noah: Heat Hollywood as Hell

Over the course of his college and NBA career we’ve learned that Joakim Noah doesn’t play by the rules. Putting his recent gay slur aside, we’ve seen Noah go shopping for bongs and screw up his rookie duties. He just isn’t …

Dwyane Wade and Erik Spoelstra Believe Early Season Struggles Helped Miami Heat

After a long regular season that included enormous amounts of hate and ridicule, the Miami Heat have reached the NBA Finals. It was an enduring and humbling journey for Miami, especially if you look back at their gaudy team introductions for their …

Video: Russell Westbrook Walks off Floor Without Shaking Hands

The more the playoffs go on, the less likable Russell Westbrook becomes. That’s coming from a UCLA fan who thought Russell was great for the Bruins and that he would find tremendous success in the NBA. He’s a hard worker, extremely …

Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks Ditch Doris Burke During Ceremony (Video)

After coming back to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 5, the Dallas Mavericks were happy to have closed out the series. But staying true to their workmanlike character, they refused to celebrate too heavily knowing they still have their …

Kevin Durant Is Not Happy to See Dirk Nowitzki Succeed at His Expense

Throughout the NBA playoffs, we’ve seen a few constants: Dirk Nowitzki putting up points, the Thunder blowing leads, and reporters asking stupid questions at press conferences. One of those dumb questions came after Oklahoma City was eliminated …

Tom Thibodeau Calls Out Refs for Not Giving Derrick Rose More Calls

Even after the final buzzer sounds to end a game, another game begins: the one that happens in the postgame news conference. Phil Jackson used to be a master in that setting, finding ways to tweak the officials so he’d get calls in his …

Chicago Bulls: Three Keys to a Game 4 Win

Following Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, nearly every media outlet in the country said the Miami Heat were in trouble. The Chicago Bulls looked good, really good. Their defense was stellar and a hero was born in their 21-point blowout. …
