Last night, Ron Artest's buzzer beater boosted the Los Angeles Lakers to a 3-2 series lead in the Western Conference Finals. Artest's game-winner is just another in a long line of memorable, buzzer-beating shots that have shaped the history and storylines of the NBA playoffs. While Artest's buzzer-beater may not rank up there with the best in the history of the NBA playoffs, it did get us thinking about ...

Doc Rivers said it best after the Celtics lost Game Four at home, "They have two home games and we only have one, so we've just made it more difficult for ourselves." Now that truly is starting to mean something as the Celtics look to close the series out, again, at home tonight. What is it that the Celtics are doing differently causing them to lose two straight? Or is it the ...

Christopher Weston Bosh, which by the way is his full name, has easily grown into as the best player to ever throw on a Toronto Raptor uniform. Whether it was the hideous half purple half black uniform, or the green St. Patrick's Day Uniforms. Bosh has enhanced his game on-to another level through-out his career and the achievements and accomplishments he has reached are to hard to argue that he is ...

You can almost hear the music cue up that old '60s hit, "Hang On Sloopy." The Orlando Magic did indeed hang on as they hooped and hollered after saving face in Game Four. The diminutive one, Jameer Nelson, wormed his way into nine assists, and gave the Magic the moral victory they needed.   Make no mistake. The Magic won, but it wasn't due to what they did—rather it was because of what the Celtics didn't ...

When sources announced Monday night that the Chicago Bulls were reaching out to Phil Jackson to see if he had any interest in rejoining his old franchise, fans immediately had visions of MJ, Scottie and Phil and the six championship rings they brought the city of Chicago. But instead of examining the acquisition, said fans rose in a drunken stupor to salute the fact that with Phil the team and city ...

When the Cavaliers were eliminated from playoff contention by the Celtics, speculation that he would leave the Cavs as a free agent this summer grew. Chicago is the frontrunner to sign “King James”, if you believe the rumors. Supposedly the Knicks, the Nets (though not so much since they got the No. 3 pick), and the Heat are the other favorites. Dallas and LA have been discussed as possible sign-and-trade ...

According to Vince Carter, the Orlando Magic would play game four not only for the names on the front of the jersey, but for those on the back. Carter didn’t live up to expectations, but Orlando did show enough resiliency to survive the Boston Celtics’ comeback, even though it took five extra minutes to do so. Orlando will live to play a game five on Wednesday night. ...

The Phoenix Suns won a game on their home court and took a step towards evening the series at two apiece.  Their winning effort against the Los Angeles Lakers in game 3 was made much more impressive by Amar'e Stoudemire, who surged for 42 points and 11 rebounds. His point total on Sunday was greater than his both of his point totals in each of his previous two games combined and proved to be the ...

Maybe you weren't aware, but the NBA Playoffs are actually going on right now. I can understand your lack of interest, considering that LeBron James has dominated every episode of SportsCenter for the past week, despite the Cavaliers' elimination from the playoffs. All of the talk circulating King James refers to his new team for next season. After failing to win a championship for several years in Cleveland, nearly everyone believes ...

According to his longtime girlfriend and Los Angeles Lakers vice president Jeanie Buss, Phil Jackson enjoys listening to tunes from renowned musicals -- mainly because he performed in one during his high school years. However, right now the Lakers coach may very well be rocking out to another genre, perhaps of the punk-rock variety and in the form of the song Should I Stay or Should I Go by "The ...
