Sonics get No. 2 pick (Kevin Durant)

Well, now things get interesting. With an 18 percent chance of getting one of the top two picks, the Sonics come up with a winning ticket, as did Portland, making the Pacific Northwest the hotbed of basketball next season. Surely Nate McMillan, who when he was in Seattle always longed for a big…

Last thoughts on the last pass

This will be the last we speak of LeBron’s pass, I promise, but Brian Windhorst of the Akron Beacon-Journal makes an interesting observation on his blog: LeBron was not double-teamed when he made the pass, Rasheed Wallace and Tayshaun Prince were caught by surprise when James attacked so…

NBA Draft Lottery thread

I'm going to miss actively rooting against the Knicks. Sure, I suppose most of us will always root against them, but the past two years have been extra special knowing their pick was coming to the Bulls. Tonight's the potential payoff of all that hate, and this article from Celtics.com…

Moving onward and upward

East Rutherford, NJ -- A few minutes after the game tonight, which was probably only the Cavs biggest win in 15 years, a felt a hand on my shoulder in the interview room. It was Dan Gilbert. He leaned down...

The start of a gritty series

The Cavs didn't play very well today and still won. On the other hand, the Nets didn't play very well and nearly stole a road game less than two days after they won their previous series. The Cavs did a...

This is why you shouldn't gamble

There was supposed to be a party at the Q tonight, instead it was a funeral. Although it is easy to say the Cavs laid an egg, the Nets were terrific. That's why it was a blowout, the combination. In...

The wins keep on coming

Before tonight's, well considering I'm getting to this at 2 a.m., last night's game, I told a handful of people I thought the Nets would win Game 2. I heard some of the things the Nets said they planned to...

Defending and Offending

East Rutherford, NJ -- In theory, the Cavs-Nets affair became a series when the Nets beat the Cavs in Game 3. In reality, this became a playoff series tonight in the third quarter when Mikki Moore dropped Sasha Pavlovic on...

Cavs gut one out, 81-77

--Make no mistake, the Cavs won this game with defense. This is a Mike Brown special. The Cavs held the Nets to 6-of-19 shooting in the fourth quarter and 37 percent for the game. Vince Carter was just 7-of-23, Jason...

A trendy Game 3 review

East Rutherford, NJ -- It was inevitable that the Nets Big 3 would get things going together in this series with the Cavs, and they certainly did so in the Game 3 victory. Nobody thought this series was going to...

Class is in session

Auburn Hills, Mich. -- The details were different, but the Cavs' 79-76 loss Monday at the Palace has been played so many times before. Yes, the last play was the LeBron James' shot/pass decision will get the most attention. It...

On passing and choking and barely scraping by for the win

There it is. Should LeBron James have kept the ball or passed it? The replay clearly shows he had a step on Tayshaun Prince, and there’s little doubt in my mind that he could have tied it up with a thunderous dunk. He didn’t. He passed the buck — I mean, “ball”…
