CP3, Griffin unable to stop Clips collapse

May 17, 2015 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

It’s difficult to quantify the debacle that just occurred in the 2015 Western Conference semifinals when the team that fell apart has very little history to begin with. The Clippers were one win away (or one quarter away) from reaching their first conference finals only to watch it all go up in a cloud of … [Read more…]

Missing stars in Christmas showcase

December 24, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

This wasn’t how the NBA schedule-makers envisioned Christmas Day. When they pitted the Lakers and Heat, they had visions of LeBron James going head-to-head with Kobe Bryant at Staples Center. Instead, they’ll likely get LeBron versus. . . . Wesley Johnson? When they pitted the Bulls and the Nets, they had visions of Derrick Rose … [Read more…]

Blake’s clutch 3 sinks Howard’s Rockets

November 8, 2013 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

With the Black Mamba still rehabbing from a torn Achilles tendon, the Los Angeles Lakers turned to the White Shadow — aka Steve Blake — in crunch time. Blake hit a game-winning 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds left to lift the Lakers to a 99-98 win over Dwight Howard and the Houston Rockets on Thursday night. … [Read more…]

Dwight Howard: Basketball’s new villain

July 7, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

For someone who likes playing the role of superhero, Dwight Howard has gotten real good at being a villain. LeBron James and Kobe Bryant now have company at the top when it comes to polarizing figures in the league. We can never refer to Howard as Superman ever again because Superman would have never left … [Read more…]

Beverley’s dirty move deals big blow to OKC

April 26, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Houston guard Patrick Beverley just became public enemy No. 1 in Oklahoma City for an unnecessary play he made during Game 2 of the Thunder-Rockets series that resulted in a potentially playoff-damaging injury to Russell Westbrook. The Thunder’s second-leading scorer and the sixth-best scorer in the NBA will have surgery to repair cartilage in his … [Read more…]

Westbrook goes coast-to-coast in 4 seconds

April 24, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Who is the fastest player in the NBA? Some would suggest Miami Heat star LeBron James, some say San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker, and some say — when he’s healthy — Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose. All three are fast for sure, but no one will be upset if we give the title … [Read more…]

All eyes on OKC-Houston first-round duel

April 18, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The Western Conference is like an episode of “The Avengers.” It was action packed all season, and you had to be there at the end to get the full story. Oklahoma City and San Antonio are the top two seeds, but both enter the playoffs with some question marks. The Spurs hobble into the postseason … [Read more…]

Rockets’ 3-party puts Warriors in foul mood

February 6, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The Houston fans knew the Rockets were on the verge of history against Golden State on Tuesday night, needing one more 3-pointer to set an NBA record. They chanted “One more three! One more three!” during the final moments. Warriors coach Mark Jackson, however, wasn’t going to let that happen. Houston tied the record with … [Read more…]

Holiday hoopla: Heat, Thunder Finals rematch

December 24, 2012 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Last June the Oklahoma City Thunder watched the Miami Heat celebrate an NBA championship. Six months later, the Thunder met the Heat again. The marquee matchup between LeBron James and Kevin Durant lived up to the hype. James, the reigning regular season and Finals MVP, nearly had a triple-double as he finished with 29 points, … [Read more…]
