From preseason to playoffs, we cover Dennis Rodman, and more.
The first half of Tuesday’s Game 1 could not have gone much worse offensively for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Through 24 minutes, they logged just 44 points, mustered an offensive rating of 88.0 and their superstar scorer, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, had 11 points on 2-of-13 shooting — engulfed, perplexed and struggling against Jaden McDaniel’s spindly limbs.

The Phoenix Suns are facing another messy lawsuit. This time, the story involves WNBA player Sophie Cunningham and a wild accusation that she had an affair with Suns CEO Josh Bartelstein. But the claim didn’t come from her — it came from a senior Suns executive allegedly trying to stir up drama inside the organization. […]
At a glance, it seems like the Oklahoma City Thunder blew the doors off the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, with the final score reading 114-88.

The final four teams have been decided in this year’s NBA Playoffs, and we are on the verge of kicking off both Conference Finals series.

The New York Knicks will square off against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, both teams feeling extremely confident on the back of defeating 60-win teams. When you have that sort of energy behind you, it’s hard not to believe the stars are aligning. The Knicks haven’t reached the NBA Finals since 1999. […]
It’s all about the new school in the NBA Playoffs and that’s not just with the teams in the conference finals. New faces are increasingly making their presence felt this postseason.
