Share this: Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith have seen better basketball from the Boston Celtics. The “NBA on TNT” analysts couldn’t be bothered to discuss the Celtics’ performance at halftime against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday at TD Garden in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. Boston was trailing 72-31 at the break, with the 41-point margin representing the most lopsided half in NBA postseason history. So we’ll just have to forgive Barkley and Smith for playing “Go Fish” instead of breaking down highlights. The Celtics ultimately lost 130-86, giving Cleveland a 2-0 series lead. The teams will meet at 8:30 p.m. ET on Sunday night at Quicken Loans Arena in Game 3. Perhaps that contest will be competitive enough to hold Barkley’s and Smith’s

James Harden Sued For Allegedly Orchestrating Moses Malone Jr.’s Robbery, Per Re…
Share this: James Harden finds himself in a bizarre legal situation just days after his Houston Rockets’ playoff exit. Harden is being sued by Moses Malone Jr., who claims the Rockets guard orchestrated a plan to assault and rob Malone last year, according to Isiah Carey of FOX 26 News in Houston.

Blake Griffin, Gordon Hayward To Thunder? ‘Area 21’ Stirs Up NBA Rumors
Share this: Kevin Garnett and his former Boston Celtics teammates provided some interesting insight into their dynamic of their squad Monday night during their reunion on KG’s “Area 21” show.

What followed was a steady stream of speculation on where those players will land, with Glen “Big Baby” Davis and Kendrick Perkins offering notable takes. Davis, for one, seemed pretty adamant Blake Griffin is leaving the Los Angeles Clippers, shouting “Blake? He outta there!” in a weird, high-pitched voice. Davis also had a destination in mind for Griffin:
