As previously mentioned, Blazers Owner Paul Allen is not happy with the level of success the Blazers are experiencing this season at 21-18 and wants more. Reports have come out that he has his executive team determining if the organization’s issues are more representative of the front office or coaching. Blazers face of the franchise, [...]

LaVar Ball doesn’t want Luke Walton coaching the Los Angeles Lakers. Whether his son, Lonzo Ball, feels the same is a matter up for debate. But LaVar made his thoughts clear this past weekend while speaking with ESPN.com’s Jeff Goodman. Plenty of people took exception to his comments, the prevailing theme of which centered on [...]

If you haven’t noticed as of yet, most people in the NBA (and the world) are not too fond of LaVar Ball. Add Golden State Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr to that list. Kerr said that Ball is “The Kardashian of the NBA” and “has zero credibility” in response to the recent comments of Ball [...]

Why no, Isaiah Thomas did not purposely clothesline Andrew Wiggins across the throat during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Monday night drubbing at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Toronto Raptors are waiting to see whether they’ve dodged a bullet or been hit by one straight-on.

John Wall’s free agency has ended, shoe sponsorship free agency that is, as Wall has decided to sign a five-year endorsement deal with Adidas. As mentioned by The Vertical, kind of a bizarre scenario for Wall to have left Adidas two years ago and mostly wear Air Jordan’s or Nike’s in the two years without [...]

Oh hey would you look at that, LaVar Ball is back in the news again and he is criticizing those around his son Lonzo when things aren’t going well. Much like the fact that the UCLA Bruins “Had too many slow white guys” when Lonzo Ball was playing there last season, he is now blaming [...]

Draymond Green, the NBA’s leader in total technical fouls, thinks something needs to be done about the relationship between players and officials. No need to read between the lines here. Green told as much to The Athletic’s Anthony Slater (h/t NBC Sports for first pointing this out): “It’s bad,” Green told The Athletic. “It’s horrible. It’s really bad. [...]
