Van Gundy Weighs In On Record
Aug 10, 2010
1 Comment
When Michael Jordan presents Scottie Pippen during his Hall of Fame induction this weekend, it’s a safe bet the Chicago Bulls‘ record-setting, 72-win season of 1995-96 will find its way into the speech. According to Jeff Van Gundy’s thinking, it’s a good thing Pippen is being inducted this year, because Van Gundy predicts that record [...]

Noah Graham/NBAE/Getty ImagesHow’s this for a perfect Christmas gift: D-Wade and the Heat taking on Kobe and the champs. An NBA schedule disseminated in two takes instead of one doesn’t really change the drill around here. The league’s insistence Tuesday night on revealing only the details for the games that will be broadcast nationally during [...]
Celtics Take 3-0 Lead In Series

If there’s one truth about Boston’s unexpected playoff run this year, it’s this: The Celtics have come at their opponents with so much effort, that by the end each opponent has been beaten emotionally as much as physically. Saturday it was Orlando’s turn to have its spirit broken, after Cleveland and Miami already submitted in [...]
Boston Up 2-0 Against Orlando

You can’t just turn it on for the playoffs … um, right? Maybe you can, after all; at least if you’ve done it before. The Boston Celtics, champions in 2008, limped through the final two-thirds of the regular season and were mostly counted out heading into the playoffs. Magically, all that changed once the postseason [...]
Lakers Beat The Suns

Since Kobe Bryant refuses to leave the past behind when it comes to the Suns, nor can he escape it, it’s impossible not to frame Game 1 of these Western Conference finals in the context of where things stood the last time the Lakers faced the Suns in the playoffs three years ago. In 2007 [...]
Boston Sends Orlando A Message

Technically, it was just a foul. And since we’re talking about Rasheed Wallace, we should be quick to note it was not a technical foul. Instead, the foul in question was akin to something straight out of a martial arts movie, a haymaker of a hack across the arms of Dwight Howard on Orlando’s first [...]
Orlando Is Ready

The Orlando Magic are putting together one of the most dominant late-season runs in history, and perhaps it’s time we started paying attention. The clinching 98-84 win over Atlanta in Game 4 didn’t just put the finishing touches on a laughably one-sided four-game sweep, or keep the Magic’s playoff record a perfect 8-0 against two [...]

Let the gnashing of teeth over LeBron James and his future whereabouts begin. New York? Chicago? Miami? Los Angeles? Maybe LBJ should take the mid-level exception and join an intact, proven winner next season — like the team that sent him and his Cavaliers packing Thursday night. Somehow, despite James’ nine turnovers in the Cavs’ [...]
Cavs Stunned By Celtics

The Cavaliers played hard in Game 6 against the Celtics, but came out on the losing end because of their failure to protect the ball. LeBron James took it to the basket with greater frequency, but he still turned the ball over nine times. As a team, Cleveland turned the ball over 24 times leading [...]
