The NBA playoffs start April 17th and to further torture us fans, the league has released another track as a follow-up to the “Defense track” that was already remixed. What do you guys think? Are these tracks getting better or worse?

Personally, I just want to playoffs to start, NBA tracks be damned.

All five Miami Heat players were watching Vince Carter, and as he dribbled toward the lane no one was within 15 feet of Rashard Lewis. Big mistake. And the Orlando Magic’s postseason push kept rolling along.

Lewis took the pass in his favorite spot near the left corner, then made the clinching three-pointer with 28.4 seconds left as the Magic recovered from wasting a 12-point lead in the final 4:45 of regulation and beat the Heat 108-102 in overtime Thursday night. The Magic won for the 10th time in 11 games, improved to 9-8 on the second night of back-to-backs and stretched their lead atop the Southeast Division to 4½ games over Atlanta.

Knicks could have notched three straight road victories for the first time this season on Wednesday. Or not.

The Knicks reverted back to form against the Boston Celtics, receiving a 109-97 pasting at TD Garden.

Paul Pierce scored 29 points, his best performance since January. The output delighted Celtics Coach Doc Rivers, who said one of the team’s main goals would be to again incorporate Pierce as the offense’s go-to scorer.

The beneficiaries of blown defensive assignments, the Celtics (43-24) made several open layups on easy drives into the lane. Boston never trailed and outscored the Knicks in the paint, 54-36. The former Knick Nate Robinson had 8 points in 21 minutes. Read More »

This Spring/Summer, Reebok will enter the trendy super-hightop market with its own entry The Fullington.

Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of the Super Stack sneaker phenomenon, but these kicks make me seriously reconsider that stance because I can’t stop looking at them. Featuring a glossy black leather upper with a steel-grey honeycomb sole and standard issue ankle strap to complete its look. These joints look well slick.

Unless you’ve had 5645 ankle surgery’s, I don’t think you’ll be playing in these. However,  you’ll surely be ballin’ off the court and turning heads in the street rockin’ them.

Be impressed after the jump.
