In all, the OKC franchise has made three previous NBA finals appearances while winning one NBA title during the 1978-79 season. With home court advantage in the Finals, Oklahoma City dropped their first home playoff contest of the 2012 postseason during Game 2 vs. the Heat after opening the playoffs a perfect 9-0 at home (one win shy of tying NBA record for most consecutive home playoff wins). This series represents the first postseason meeting between the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder in the history of the two franchises. Finals Berth: Just three years after finishing the 2008-09 season with a record of 23-59, the Oklahoma City Thunder punched a ticket to this year’s NBA Finals after recording a total of three losses during the first three rounds of the postseason. The Miami Heat were the last team to reach the NBA Finals within three season of winning 25 or fewer games (Reached 2011 Finals after posting 15-67 record during the 2007-08 season). 2011-12 Rewind: Oklahoma City entered the 2012 postseason having wrapped-up the second best regular season record in the Western Conference (47-19) and the highest year-end winning percentage by the franchise since the 1997-98 season (.744). The Thunder’s .712 winning percentage this past season ranks fourth best all-time for the franchise. Oklahoma City has now captured playoff berths during each of the three subsequent seasons for the first time since 1996-1998. Stat-Worthy Debut: Kevin Durant (36 points) and Russell Westbrook (27 points), both making their NBA Finals debuts in Game 1, combined for 63 points in the Thunder's win over the Heat last Tuesday night. That matches the most combined points in a game by teammates who were both making their NBA Finals debuts in league history {Julius Erving (33) and Doug Collins (30) combined for 63 points for Philadelphia in their NBA Finals debuts in 1977 against Portland}. The 36 points scored by Kevin Durant are the second most recorded by a player making their NBA Finals debut (Allen Iverson scored 48 points during his NBA Finals debut in 2001). Durant himself scored 17 of the Thunder’s 31 fourth quarter points. Durant’s 17 points in the final quarter are tied for the most fourth-quarter points in an NBA Finals game over the last 15 postseasons.

    NBA-TOPTHEMA WARUM DER KLASSISCHE POINT GUARD VOM AUSSTERBEN BEDROHT IST ANALYSE AUF DER FALSCHEN.. FAHRTE TEXT TIMO BÖCKENHÜSER Was haben Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose, John Wall und Eric Bledsoe gemeinsam? Sie sind alle Top-Playmaker. Sie sind alle maximal 25 Jahre alt. Und sie verbindet alle ein Schicksal: Ihre Körper kapitulieren schon jetzt vor ihrer brachialen Athletik. Denn die neue Point-Guard- Generation spielt ein sehr riskantes Spiel! s ist nur ein kleines Rechteck. Gerade mal 5,80 Meter lang und 4,90 Meter breit und doch ein Bereich, der im Basketball immense Bedeutung hat. Denn jene meist bunt gefärbten 28,42 Quadratmeter markieren an beiden Enden des Courts die Zone. Von jeher ist „The Paint“, wie der Amerikaner sie nennt, das Reich der Großen, der Büffel unter den Basket- E ballern. Länge beschützt den Korb, daran ist nicht zu rütteln. Deshalb beherrschen Big Men die Zone, kleine Spieler haben vor allem im Set-Play dort wenig zu lachen. Die langen Leute lauern darauf, dass Guards es wagen, in ihr Reich einzudringen und zum Korb zu ziehen. Dann prallen Welten aufeinander. Bulldozer auf Smarts. Büffel auf Gazellen. Dwight Howards auf Eric Bledsoes. Ein starker Drive zum Ring heißt dorthin gehen, wo es wehtut. Trainer lieben diese aggressiven, tollkühnen Akte, denn sie bedeuten, dass ihre Backcourt-Player nicht nur auf Distanzwürfe setzen, die weniger Erfolgsaussichten haben als Layups. Und das hat zusammen mit den Regeländerungen wie Defensive-Three-Seconds und Handchecking, die für mehr Freiräume in der Zone und dadurch auch für mehr Penetrationen über die Mitte gesorgt haben, zu einem gefährlichen Umdenken im Basketball geführt.

    Alex Gallardo Irene Carlson Gallery of Photography Eyes on the Ball April 11 Through May 20, 2011

    Alex Gallardo Irene Carlson Gallery of Photography Eyes on the Ball April 11 through May 20, 2011 An exhibition of photographs Miller Hall, University of La Verne Photographer’s Statement My start in photojournalism began with a slide show program during a beginning photo class at the University of La Verne. It was presented by a well-known photojournalist at the The Sun in San Bernardino, Tom Kasser. His work opened my eyes. Once I had seen what he could do with a camera, it brought me to see, and not just look, at the world around me. Kasser gave me a goal to strive for, to work at The Sun as a staff photographer. Through my undergraduate career I learned the mechanics of the craft. As a lifetime baseball player I already had the competitive gene so I redirected my passion for athletics toward photography. I took a detour in my quest to be a photojournalist after graduating from ULV. A huge mistake cost me thirteen months of my professional life, and almost the use of my legs. I drove a dump truck backwards over a cliff, spent three months in a hospital and at home in a body cast recuperating from injuries. I spent another nine months in physical therapy learning to walk. Doctors told me that I might not regain the use of my legs or walk without assistance for least five years, if ever. Luckily, I had a great physical therapist. We worked hard every day and prayed to regain the use of my legs. Once I began to walk doctors cleared me to continue as a photographer and stay away from driving trucks.
  • The Maturation of Russell Westbrook

    The Maturation of Russell Westbrook

    The Maturation of Russell Westbrook Khris Matthews-Marion Contributing Writer, Sports Radio America “I think Russell’s demeanor and his aggression is what the DNA of a team should be. He’s aggressive and he’s unapologetic about the way he plays. “I believe Russell has the same mentality that I have had, which is that criticism doesn’t matter.” -- Kobe Bryant on Russell Westbrook’s development. Oklahoma City – When he was drafted fourth overall by the Seattle Supersonics in the 2008 NBA draft, analysts struggled to come up with a player comparison for him. Marc Jackson compared him to Gary Payton and because of his rebounding ability; the media tabbed Rajon Rondo as the best example of what he could turn into. Still, others thought he was built in the Steve Francis mold. However, it may be the Black Mamba, in terms of intensity and eye- popping athletic ability, who may be the closest and best equivalent when looking at the future of Russell Westbrook. Kobe Bryant is arguably the greatest player the NBA has seen in the last thirty years not named Michael Jordan. He has been the heartbeat of LA's most historic team for almost two decades and has hoisted the Larry O'Brien trophy five separate times. His comments during ESPN Grantland's Basketball Hour were revealing about the level of respect he has for a man who is walking down a similar path. His experience, success, basketball acumen and specifically his relationship with Shaquille O'Neal made him a perfect candidate to judge the maturation of man who is escaping the shadow of an established star.

    Hawks' Trio Headlines Reserves for 2015 Nba All

    HAWKS’ TRIO HEADLINES RESERVES FOR 2015 NBA ALL-STAR GAME -- Duncan Earns 15 th Selection, Tied for Third Most in All-Star History -- NEW YORK, Jan. 29, 2015 – Three members of the Eastern Conference-leading Atlanta Hawks -- Al Horford , Paul Millsap and Jeff Teague -- headline the list of 14 players selected by the coaches as reserves for the 2015 NBA All-Star Game, the NBA announced today. Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors earned his first All-Star selection, joining teammate and starter Stephen Curry to give the Western Conference-leading Warriors two All-Stars for the first time since Chris Mullin and Tim Hardaway in 1993. The 64 th NBA All-Star Game will tip off Sunday, Feb. 15, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The game will be seen by fans in 215 countries and territories and will be heard in 47 languages. TNT will televise the All-Star Game for the 13th consecutive year, marking Turner Sports' 30 th year of NBA All- Star coverage. The Hawks’ trio is joined in the East by Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat, the Chicago Bulls’ Jimmy Butler and the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving . This is the 11 th consecutive All-Star selection for Wade and the 10 th straight nod for Bosh, who becomes only the third player in NBA history to earn five trips to the All-Star Game with two different teams (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kevin Garnett). Butler, who leads the NBA in minutes (39.5 per game) and has raised his scoring average from 13.1 points in 2013-14 to 20.1 points this season, makes his first All-Star appearance.

    Former Ohio State Standout David Lighty Signs Two-Year Contract Extension with ASVEL in French Pro a League

    Former Ohio State Standout David Lighty Signs Two-Year Contract Extension With ASVEL In French Pro A League David Lighty, who was a standout on the Ohio State men’s basketball team during his time in the program (2006-11), signed a two-year contract extension with ASVEL Basket of the French Pro A League. Lighty has played for ASVEL Basket in Villeurbanne, France (which is a suburb of Lyon) continuously since 2017. He also played with ASVEL, whose president is four-time NBA champion Tony Parker, from 2014-16. The new contract secures Lighty with ASVEL through 2024. Coming out of Villa-Angela St. Joseph High School in Cleveland, Lighty was a lesser-heralded member of the “Thad Five” 2006 recruiting class, which included Mike Conley, Daequan Cook, Othello Hunter and Greg Oden brought in by former Ohio State head coach Thad Matta. Coming out of high school, the Cleveland native was a four-star prospect, ranking No. 33 among all players and No. 13 among small forwards nationally. The 6-foot-5 small forward was the third-highest rated recruit in Ohio behind Kansas State’s Henry Walker and his classmate Cook. Lighty started only seven of 39 games as a true freshman, averaging 3.7 points and 2.3 rebounds per game as part of the 2006-07 Buckeyes who lost to Florida in the national championship. Once Conley, Cook and Oden departed for the NBA, Lighty earned more playing time, starting all 37 contests with averages of 9.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game in 2007-08.
