After being rebuffed by David Stern and the NBA about trading players and a coach in the same deal, the Boston Celtics and the LA Clippers finally made the deal that brings Rivers to the Clippers and a 1st round pick to the Celtics. After much negotiations, and discussions breaking down then starting up again the deal is finally set but the questions should be asked...

Bob Ryan, legendary NBA columnist and reporter for the Boston Globe, recently joined Mike Lindsley on 104.5 The Team ESPN Radio to talk NBA playoffs, LeBron James and his Mount Rushmore and All-NBA First Team roster in league history.  Listen here:

Many of us Knick fans have hopes, long shot that it may be, that a title is coming to New York courtesy of the NY Knicks. However the chances of that get slimmer with every 3 for 17 shooting performance by J.R. Smith. Now we may have our answers why Smith has shot the ball so poorly and he has been acting like a 3 year old instead of an adult...

Carmelo Anthony scored 21 points, and the New York Knicks beat the Boston Celtics, 88-80, in Boston on Friday night to win Game 6 and take the first-round, best-of-seven NBA playoff series, four games to two. It was the Knicks' first playoff series victory since 2000...

Oh I sensed it going into yesterdays show ( Game On with Bruce Jacobs- 4-7 P.M. 1045 ESPN Radio) that the Knicks, many fans, and even much of the media had the Celtics buried and the Knicks moving onto round 2 of the eastern conference playoffs...

Over the last day or so, current NBA free agent Jason Collins' revelation about being gay has sparked tremendous reaction on a global scale, both positive and negative. Along with the reaction by sports fan and media pundits alike, there's also the generic news media coverage, with both our local and national ABC stations doing great work with the story.

The Knicks and Celtics clash in game three tonight in what will be an emotional city of Boston (the Celtics return home to play a game for the first time since the Boston Marathon explosions).  New York has the 2-0 lead.  Carmelo Anthony scored 70 combined points in the first two games at Madison Square Garden...

If you scoffed at the Celtics struggles in the 2nd half of game 1, well game 2 will give you plenty more material to critique them on. The Celts scored only 25 points in the 2nd half of game 1, lost a half time lead, and the game. Tuesday night at noisy madison Square Garden the Celts outdid themselves, setting a new franchise record for least points in a half, this time only 23 in the last 24 min

Let's start right where the playoffs started, at a sold out, noisy, and ready Madison Square Garden where the New York Knicks look to take out 13 years of playoff failure against 1 of their arch rivals, the Boston Celtics. The Celts score only 8 points in the 4th quarter, 25 in the 2nd half, as the Knicks win game 1 85-78...

The Knicks took game one 85-78.  But what did we already learn about this series?  That every player, not just Carmelo Anthony, is going to have to earn their points at both ends of the floor.  The playoffs are different.  Good defenses are aplenty.  It is like facing big time starting pitching in baseball's October.

Not that Andy Enfield wasn't a wealthy man before 2 tournament wins, at least the story goes that way. As a private citizen in the business world Enfield had it going on as they say. Folks at Florida Gulf Coast will also say he had it going on-now he is going away...

These AT&T commercials are pure genius.  Instead of featuring little kids, AT&T changes things up and uses NBA legends to reinforce their latest message.
