The title isn't a typo. The Cleveland Cavaliers must win Game 5 to avoid going back to Chicago. That's something they don't want to happen. They don't want to even give the Bulls any hope, not even a chance. The Bulls on the other hand, have to win to stay alive. For those of you who believed the Bulls would win the series from the start, you are crazy. For those ...

When the Boston Celtics started this season they looked like their 2007-08 form. However, halfway through the season and during the end of the year there were doubts whether the Celtics would would go past the first round of the postseason. Now that the playoffs have begun Boston is proving everyone wrong. Here are a few of the reasons why they will win it all. Begin Slideshow

I know that the Rookie of the Year doesn't go into the playoffs, but if it did, Brandon Jennings would be the top candidate for the award. Brandon Jennings was clutch in the fourth quarter, and helped hold off the late rally from the Hawks. The Bucks played some great basketball in game four and have knotted up the series. They managed to slow down the Hawks offense enough to give themselves ...

With Week One of the playoffs officially in the books, we've had the opportunity to start separating the contenders from the pretenders. In the East, all four of the higher-seeded teams have managed to proceed along without any major hiccups (excluding the Cavs' Game Three against Chicago), and they all hold two-game advantages over their opponents. The West, on the other hand, is the war zone we expected it to be—after all, ...

  In the past few seasons, the Atlanta Hawks have slowly become one of the most dangerous teams in the NBA. From winning just 13 games in the 2004-05 season, the Hawks have continually increased their win totals every year since, while making the playoffs for the past three years straight and earning kudos for their athletic, exciting style of play. This has been achieved with a young, talented roster who ...

I'm starting to believe that Atlanta's professional sports teams are the most humble teams in any league. Why's that you might ask? It's simple: They are so humble in that they do not take pleasure or pride in going into an opposing team's stadium or arena and pulling out a victory. That just isn't right, now is it, to just go into someone else's house and take what belongs to ...

We’re witnessing an NBA postseason of drama with an unexpected franchise residing in Oklahoma City, where the crowd intensifies the loudest frenzies at Ford Center, arguably the clamorous building in the league. Whoever predicted that an erratic postseason would be entertained with action-packed, dramatic performances of Kevin Durant, the league’s youngest scoring champ and now potential Most Valuable Player? All of this frightens the Los Angeles Lakers, the defending champs who are bullied, harassed ...

Alvin Gentry said he'd play the bench more so Nash would be fresh in the fourth quarter. Instead, the reserves let Nash keep their seats warm in the final frame. Good thing, too, what with Grant Hill battling foul trouble and Jarron Collins battling a bad matchup with the quicker, longer Blazers' front line (he did actually contribute in Game 5). The Suns' bench would be a great draw for college basketball fans ...

    What began in ideal form with the Blazers racing out to an early 14 point lead, ended in disaster with the Blazers blowing that early lead and losing in an irritatingly familiar fashion. When Marcus Camby was called for two first quarter fouls and benched, the Blazers slowly but surely obliterated any momentum or confidence they had gained and eventually collapsed under the Suns' expected ...

David Stern needs to take his own advice and just shut his mouth. Recently there was an article written in regards to players and coaches calling out the NBA referees. The most recent example of this was Stan Van Gundy and Matt Barnes being fined $35,000 for criticizing the NBA officials. Van Gundy said “see the other great players in this league on the bench all the time with foul trouble, especially ...
