The NBA Playoffs this weekend reminds you of why they are so great. From Manu Ginobli playing through a broken nose, to Brandon Roy returning to the hardwood for the Blazers barely a week after having surgery to repair a torn meniscus, this weekend displayed the type of action and heart that basketball fans live for.
The young Oklahoma City Thunder, led by Kevin Durant, won again at home against the defending champs, the Los Angeles Lakers. In Miami, it took 46 points from D-Wade to keep the hope alive for the Miami Heat, who are now down 3-1 to the Boston Celtics. While the Bobcats have shown a lot of fight, the lack of experience has them win-less, and down three games to the Orlando Magic.
In this edition of Sneaker Watch we get a look at a wide range of shoes, from favorites in the Jordan line, to recent retro Air Penny III’s, to Quentin Richardson breaking out a pair of the upcoming Air Jordan Retro 2. Check out all the sneakers from this weekend’s action below.

Melo’s FS M6’s need a little more LightBlue.
Bibby’s XIII’s are just too cool 8)
Dwight was just a monster against the Bobcats, and very cool how Beasley pulls out another PE, KG’s are very cool(might need to chase those in the off-season)
Q’s 2’s look great, and the Penny III’s looking good with the Heat Uni.
The 2010’s still look weird, the 3 on the window is a nice touch, in making the window a little less useless, I want to see some colored socks though.
JJ’s Six Rings are clean, but Bibby’s XIIIs are the best on the Hawks. Miami brought out some nice stuff too, I like the “3” in the circle on Wade’s 2010s. Wright is making those Penny 3s look real nice on court too.
But my favorite stays with the All-White KD2s that the Thunder have been wearing!
Luvin the IIs on Q Rich and XIIIs on Bibby
