Oklahoma City Thunder: What If Kevin Durant Had Been The One To Get Hurt?
No matter how well Kevin Durant played, the Oklahoma City Thunder weren’t getting past a hungry Memphis Grizzlies team in the 2013 NBA playoffs. But what if it were Durant that got hurt and a healthy Russell Westbrook was left to shoulder the load of carrying the Thunder throughout the first round of the playoffs and into the second round against the Grizzlies? By now, you should all know the story. Russell Westbrook tore his meniscus in Game 2 of the first round against the Houston Rockets, leaving Oklahoma City’s offense...

Now that the conference finals are under way, it’s time to take a look at the five biggest disappointments from the second round of the 2013 NBA playoffs. Because as much as we love our heroes, sometimes we enjoy breaking down what went wrong and dwelling on what might have been even more. 5. The Chicago Bulls’ health Everyone was ready to write the Bulls off as soon as they advanced to play the Miami Heat in the second round, but I was one of the few who believed a physical gritty Chicago team could push LeBron James and company...

The 2013 NBA playoffs have been an event for the ages and, as often happens, twists and turns have led to a slew of wrong predictions so far. I’m not saying that these five things were my predictions that went wrong (admittedly, a couple of them were), but trust me, there were plenty of NBA fans out there who thought these five things were more than possible during the postseason. Thought this was the Los Angeles Clippers’ year or that the San Antonio Spurs were too old to contend? Guess again. The Dubs Are the Cinderella Team...

The Memphis Grizzlies are going to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in franchise history after holding off the Oklahoma City Thunder late for an 88-84 win on Wednesday, May 15, in Game 5 of their Western Conference semifinal series. Oklahoma City trailed by 12 points with three minutes left in Game 5 before staging a furious comeback that fell just short. Kevin Durant missed a 16-footer that would have tied the game with six seconds to go. The miss capped off a terrible night for Durant, who was just 5-for-16 in the finale....
read moreOklahoma City Thunder: Why Is Scott Brooks Sticking With Kendrick Perkins?
A player with championship experience is often one worth having. They provide a shoulder to lean on for a team’s younger players, help integrate new teammates and can draw on their experience to push their teams over the edge during moments of hardship. However, when these players are a liability on the court, it can be hard to justify having them on the floor during important moments. Kendrick Perkins is one of these players for the Oklahoma City Thunder, along with Derek Fisher. They are the proverbial glue that holds OKC together. Kendrick...

The Oklahoma City Thunder had a 17-point lead in Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinal series over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, May 13, and seemed destined to tie the series. Until the Grizzlies put together a big second half, that is, and until Kevin Durant couldn’t throw a rock in the ocean in the fourth quarter and overtime of OKC’s 103-97 loss that pushed the Thunder—the defending Western Conference champions—to the brink of elimination. Much has been made of Durant, now a solo act with All-Star Russell Westbrook sidelined for...

We’re roughly halfway through the second round of the 2013 NBA playoffs and we’ve already learned so much about all eight teams contending for an NBA title. The physical series between the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls encompasses everything that playoff basketball is about and ultimately reminds NBA fans of how basketball used to be played. But that’s just one series. What else have we learned from Round 2? Let’s take a gander. K.D. Can’t Do It All Himself Kevin Durant did enough to get the Oklahoma City...
read moreHouston Rockets: Royce White Shows Immaturity by Taking Shots at Kevin Durant
The Houston Rockets are out of the NBA playoffs, battling it out in six games before losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The problem with the Rockets wasn’t the absence of Jeremy Lin. The issue at hand concerns immaturity of one player, Royce White. Rookie Royce White called out Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder after the Rockets won Game 5. He posted the following tweet: And… that’s why you play the games. That @okcthunder team just looked shook. “They’re looking shaky baby.”#RedNation — Royce White...
read moreNBA Playoffs 2013: 5 Best Individual Performances of Round One
The 2013 NBA playoffs have been filled with plenty of action so far that even the casual basketball fan can appreciate. From Russell Westbrook going down and missing the rest of the postseason to Stephen Curry willing the Golden State Warriors to victory, amazing certainly does happen here in the NBA postseason. With that being said, it’s only right to highlight the five players who put together the best single-game performances of the 2013 NBA playoffs. For the purpose of this column, I stuck with the five best individual performances...

The NBA Playoffs are never clear cut and rarely go as planned (unless you’re the Miami Heat). The Memphis Grizzlies had an easier time with the Los Angeles Clippers than previously expected and the Oklahoma City Thunder lost Russell Westbrook before dispatching of the Houston Rockets. This series should be a doozy and even though the best player in the series plays for the Thunder, they’re primed for an upset due to the loss of their No. 2 scorer in Westbrook. Likely Starting Lineups Point Guard Mike Conley Jr. (MEM) vs. Reggie...
