*Stare Down* + {Shoulder Roll}
NBA Playoffs throwback: Miami Heat vs. Indiana Pacers, 2012, Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
Up against the ropes, LeBron James scores 40 points with 18 rebounds and 9 assists to lead the Bosh-less Heat to a game 4 win that tied the series at 2-2. Miami would go on to win the series in 6 games. This game was immediately Fed Ex’d to Springfield.
The rematch starts tonight (finally) at 8:30PM ET on TNT.

With no announcement about it, Kevin Durant quietly donates $1 million to the Red Cross to support the Oklahoma tornado relief effort.
NBA Playoffs throwback: Memphis Grizzlies vs. San Antonio Spurs, 2011, Game 5 of the Western Conference 1st round.
Gary Neal drains a buzzer beater to send the game into overtime. The Spurs would win the battle but lose the war. Memphis would advance to play the Thunder in the conference semifinals.
The rematch has begun and game 2 is tonight at 9PM ET on ESPN.
Western Conference Finals Game Two
Who wins tonight?
Marc Gasol and the saddest t-shirt wearing of the playoffs.
Playoff. Basketball.
“I told Mike Woodson a thousand times that I don’t pick and roll on Shabbos! Saturday is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don’t work on defense, I don’t pass the ball, I don’t hedge on screens, I don’t rotate on shooters, I don’t turn on the oven, and I sure as shit don’t pick and roll!”
(Thankfully for the Knicks, tipoff will occur just after sunset tonight.)
Steph Curry’s outside shots were too much like his mouthpiece in Game 6: half-in, half-out.
Just days after saying they’d never sell the team to a Sacramento group, the Maloofs have agreed to sell the team for $535 million. Which proves they are both greedy and also liars. They killed arena deals for seven years, threatened to move to Anaheim, and then Seattle, all while signing Linday Lohan’s sister to a record deal, mismanaging a skateboarding tour to the point where it could only take place in South Africa, and losing 98% of their casino investment in the Palms. They even ran a WNBA team into the ground along the way.
And now they’re finally gone from the NBA, and half a billion seems like a bargain to get them away from Sacramento and professional basketball for good. Goodbye, good night, good riddance.
The Maloofs are expected to blow through the $535 million in just under 18 months.
