But in the aftermath of the Clippers' 105-104 Game 5 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night, that was the only subject worthy of discussion. Did the referees blow one, and possibly two, calls at the end of the game that essentially took the game away from the Clippers? They had a reasonable argument...

The Oklahoma City Thunder suffered the worst loss of their season at the hands of the Los Angeles Clippers. The Thunder, poised to take a commanding 3-1 series lead, allowed the Clippers to stay in the game and pull out the win. This loss will prove costly to a Thunder team that could have improved their chances of advancing to the western conference finals with the win. The Thunder were in control...
The Oklahoma City Thunder are probably still going to win their Western Conference semifinal series against the Los Angeles Clippers. They’ve been the better team through four games. They have the better superstars. (Sorry, Chris Paul, but it’s true.) They’ve regained home-court advantage. Los Angeles’s role players — specifically those called upon to shoot well — can’t hit three-pointers with any...

Tuesday, during his MVP acceptance speech, Kevin Durant thanked each and every teammate. Durant also credited Thunder coach Scott Brooks, saying Brooks should get all of the credit, but never wants any of it. But how bout blame?

The Oklahoma City Thunder have a shot blocking maniac in big man Serge Ibaka. He had the second best per game average (2.7) during the regular season and the most overall (219). To do that he has to really attack the shooter when he goes up for a shot, but has to be sure he does one thing.Hit the right ball. Loading......
Call it the Mother’s Day Miracle or call it whatever you want but the Clippers came back from the edge of desperation and a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter to tie the Western Conference semifinal with a 101-99 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder this afternoon at Staples Center. The Clippers seemed all but dead after shooting only 25% in the first quarter but slowly crawled back into the...
PLAYA VISTA, Calif. -- A sense of urgency? Absolutely, the Clippers have it. But Sunday's Game 4 against the Oklahoma City Thunder is going to go far beyond the Clippers playing with the knowledge their season could end in a few of days. They understand that much. "We have to play harder, better, faster, smarter," coach Doc Rivers said Saturday. The Clippers won the best-of-seven series opener but...

Steven Adams has become one of the NBA's most infamous agitators in his rookie season. Adams was the 12th overall selection in the 2013 NBA Draft out of Pittsburgh by the Oklahoma City Thunder. Adams grew up in New Zealand and was an unknown basketball talent until Ken McFadden discovered him and told Pitt head coach Jamie Dixon about him. “I just played it by ear,” said Adams, 20. “I played basketball...
