The NBA Conference Finals are underway with the Spurs taking Game 1 from the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday night. The Pacers and Heat kickoff on Wednesday after the Pacers defeated the Knicks on Saturday clinching the series 4-2.
The Knicks beat the Pacers by 10 to force a Game 6 in the Eastern Conference semis.
The Miami Heat defeated the Chicago Bulls tonight to win the series 4-1. The Heat will face either the New York Knicks or Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Championship.
The Chicago Bulls face the Miami Heat tonight in Game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference Semis. It’s 1-1 and it’s going back to Chicago on the heels of an ugly game 2.
The Chicago Bulls defeated the Miami Heat on Monday to kick off their best of 7 series in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. Quite an accomplishment for a Bulls team that has been without their star PG Derrick Rose since last March after he sustained a torn ACL. The 2010-2011 NBA MVP has not played in an NBA game for more than a year now but has been a constant tease pre-game. Rose has been warming up before most Bulls game now for more than a month and certainly passes the eyeball test. Showing his usual quickness and agility, Rose has been throwing down dunks, draining 3′s, and displaying the athleticism that made him one of the league’s stars. So what’s been stopping him from joining his team that so desperately needs him?
Not even Michael Jordan has been unanimously voted NBA MVP (cue the annual accusations that some sports writers use their votes vindictively), but Lebron James came within one vote of that honor.
Irresponsible metaphor alert! During a press conference President Barack Obama was asked about newly out of the closet NBA player Jason Collins, only someone must have stolen his teleprompter page with approved similes and metaphors.
NBA center, Jason Collins has announced that he is coming out. In a story that will appear in the May 6 Sports Illustrated Collins writes that he will be the first openly gay professional male athlete in a major sport.
If you thought the Indiana Pacers’ Roy Hibbert was too tame in his Twitter beef with the Golden State Warrior’s David Lee on Monday, this video might change your mind. Watch as he wows the crowd during Game 2 in the best-of-seven series versus the Atlanta Hawks!

The Golden State Warriors have added an excellent chapter to the rich tradition of rookie hazing. Not content to remove the tires from Festus Ezeli’s car, they hid his tires around the building sending him on a veritable scavenger hunt just to start putting his ride back together.
