Rashard Lewis has been a complete no-show through four games of the Eastern Conference Finals. To say Orlando‘s highest paid player has been horrible would be an understatement. Through four games, Lewis is 29% shooting overall and 18% from …
A friend just directed my attention to a great video he came across on YouTube. There’s such a thing as getting caught up in the moment during an intense part of a game or getting carried away with your celebrating, but at what point does a …
If Orlando Magic guard Jason Williams took chasing down loose balls half as seriously as he takes reporters crowding his space, he may have prevented Rajon Rondo from making him look like a fool during Game 3. I’m sure he was plenty frustrated …

The Cavaliers suffered their worst home playoff loss in team history Tuesday night in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, falling to the Celtics by 32, 120-88. Not only was the loss the worst in franchise postseason history for the Cavs, it …
