Paul Pierce hit a cold-blooded 3 in LeBron's face to give the Boston Celtics a 94-90 win over the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.  I'm not sure if Miami was cheered or heckled following the loss.

Heading into the Western Conference Finals the San Antonio Spurs seemed untouchable.  After two losses in Oklahoma City over the weekend, they look human after all.

Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo took a shot at the Miami Heat during his halftime interview with Doris Burke on Sunday night.

Both Eastern and Western Conference finals got a bit more interesting over the weekend.  Both the Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder even things with their heavily favored opponents.

Oh the NBA world waits on baited breath for the Nets to take their sad act to Brooklyn. Yikes isn't the crime rate high enough-imagine a lousy basketball team to make the residents feel even better. But this "historic' move may not include their best player-Deron Williams...

Game two of the Eastern Conference Finals was a close one between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat.  The Heat ended up winning it on overtime 115-111, but this foul went unnoticed by the officials.

Head coach Gregg Popovich told the San Antonio Spurs that he wanted "some nasty" in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.  The Spurs obliged.

Shaquille O’Neal raised eyebrows last week when he flirted with the idea of interviewing for the Orlando Magic’s vacant general manager position — a job that, in the end, he decided not to pursue.

The Miami Heat and Boston Celtics will face each other in the Eastern Conference Finals. Game 1 of the best-of-seven series is Monday night in Miami. The winner advances to the 2012 NBA Finals against the victor of the San Antonio-Oklahoma City series. Here’s a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals:

Heading into this shortened NBA season, many believed that the Boston Celtics didn't have enough left.  They hade nough to eliminate the young Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, 85-75, and now advance to the Eastern Conference finals to face the Miami Heat.

The NBA playoffs have been pretty exciting this season. Some big names are out, leaving just a few stars left.  So who is the best one still on the floor?
