Jennifer Floyd Engel of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: "Game 5 was all about The Four Js. Three Mavericks. Four Js. That is Mavs guards Jason Terry, Jason Kidd and J.J. Barea, for all of you scoring along at home. And that unlikely trio, at least in t...

With about 90 seconds left in a two-point game, Jason Kidd caught a beautiful pass from Jason Terry and stroked a 3. Cash. Mavericks by five. Timeout: Miami. The Mavericks then did what anything with a pulse would do: They celebrated. Fists up,...

Can the Lakers do what the Blazers couldn't? Will Jason Kidd turn around his erratic Game 1 performance? What would the NBA look like without guaranteed contracts? Is Ben Gordon a temptation worth passing up? Kurt Helin of Forum Blue & ...
