http://www.buynba2k.com/NBA commissioner David Stern spoke on NBATV during Game 4 of the first-round NBA Playoffs series between the Atlanta Hawks and Indiana Pacers. During the interview, he addressed the decision by the Relocation Committee to keep the Kings in Sacramento."I didn't see a unanimous vote coming, but they decided as strong as the Seattle bid was, and it was very strong, there's some benefit that should be given to a city that has supported us for so long, and has stepped up to contribute to build a new building as well," he said.Stern then made it clear that expansion would not be a viable option, at least while he's still commissioner."You know, all I can say is that discussion will have to wait for [future] commissioner [Adam] Silver to oversee. Right now, expansion is not on the agenda," Stern said. "I would never say never. It doesn't make a lot of sense unless we know what the new TV deal is." Stern is retiring on February 1, 2014, so perhaps expansion will re-enter the discussion once Silver takes over.It has been rumored that Stern has wanted to keep the Kings in Sacramento. Sources told Chris Daniels of King5.com that the commissioner was pulling the strings to try and ensure a counter-bid by a group that would keep the team in the California state capital. Stern also appeared to drop public hints to the media showing how the Sacramento bidders could make the best possible offer to keep the team.Full audio of the Stern press conference can be found here, which also includes comments on Jason Collins coming out as the NBA's first publicly gay player.More from SB NationJason Collins becomes NBA's first openly gay active player NBA owners vote against moving Kings, reports say Steph Curry can thank Denver's defenseSupercut: Kobe Bryant is very, very sad Flannery: No brooms in Boston <section class="c-simple-link-list c-simple-link-list-stream In this Storystream Kings to stay in Sacrm

Los Angeles Lakers big man Pau Gasol says "there is a sense," that he may have just completed his final season in purple and gold, Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

I always try to play my best as if it is my last game. I am very thankful for our fans and the support they show," Gasol said. Though the former All-Star struggled to find a clear role on the team whether the coach was Mike Brown or Mike D'Antoni, Gasol says that he'd be willing to return to L.A. for another season if th
e team is willing.He's owed .3 million through next year, but the team could shed that salary by using the amnesty clause if a trade can't be reached. "I would like to be a part of another championship team here, but it's not up to me," he said.In what could be his final Lakers season, Gasol averaged 13.7 points on 46 percent shooting, 8.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists over 49 games. Battling through injuries, he finished the season with career-lows is scoring and shooting percentage.

NBA Playoffs 2013, Bulls vs. Nets Game 5: Game time, TV schedule and more - SBNation.com
The Chicago Bulls will look to end their opening-round series in five games against the Brooklyn Nets when the two teams get together on Monday night at the Barclays Center. But the Bulls will have to do so without starting point guard Kirk Hinrich.<!-- ######## START READMORE SNIPPET ######## -->More: Blog a Bull NetsDaily NBA playoff coverage<!-- ######## END SNIPPET ######## -->Hinrich is in a walking boot and could miss the rest of the series after playing 60 minutes in the Bulls' 142-134 triple-overtime victory in Game 4. Hinrich scored 18 points and dished 14 assists in the game, but a calf injury was revealed afterward and he can barely walk without the boot.The Nets will try and recover after a devastating loss in which they squandered a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter. Nate Robinson helped lead the comeback for the Bulls, scoring 12 straight at one point in the last three minutes of the game while Brooklyn melted down on offense.Here are three things to watch for in Game 5.How will the Bulls replace Hinrich? Hinrich has dealt with a variety of injuries this season, so Chicago has plenty of experience with scrambling to fill holes. However, they have not always been successful, as the Bulls are just 5-13 without Hinrich in the lineup since Jan. 1. In this series, Hinrich has played solid defense on Deron Williams while providing an unexpected scoring punch. Nate Robinson would be the natural choice to replace Hinrich in the starting lineup, but Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau could potentially elect to go with Marco Belinellli, who has handled point guard duties at times this season. Using Belinelli would allow Jimmy Butler to guard Williams, and it would keep Robinson as the scoring spark off the bench, a role for which he's much better suited.How will Nets respond to Game 4 collapse? The Nets were in great position to send the series back to Brooklyn tied 2-2. But the epic fourth quarter collapse and subsequent loss in triple-overtime dashed that and could have broken
their spirits. The Nets have certainly caught a break with the Hinrich injury, so getting out to a good start is imperative. If things turn south early against the aggressive Bulls' defense, the Nets could fold up the tents and call it a season.Will fatigue play a factor?Numerous players racked up monster minutes in Game 4, and with Game 5 just two days later, fatigue could be a factor. For the Bulls, Luol Deng and Carlos Boozer both played 50-plus minutes, while Joakim Noah played 39 with his bad case of plantar fasciitis. Williams, Brook Lopez and Reggie Evans all played at least 50 minutes for the Nets, while Joe Johnson (also playing with plantar fasciitis) and Gerald Wallace both played 48. All those minutes could lead to some poor shooting and sloppy play on Monday. Game time: 7 p.m. ETNatio
