Kyle Lowry is not taking the Toronto Raptors’ second-round sweep at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers very well. Sure, his team won a franchise-record 59 games during the regular season. And yes, they snagged the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 seed. But he views the entire campaign as pointless in the aftermath of their third [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder are not going to trade Russell Westbrook. There are, however, a few NBA teams that think they should. Consider what Zach Lowe said during a recent episode of The Lowe Post podcast (via Bleacher Report’s Kyle Newport): “There’s an increasing number of people around the league who think the Thunder should look at [...]

The Utah Jazz could not avoid the buzzsaw that was the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night. They may, however, have averted an even bigger disaster. Halfway through the fourth quarter of Game 5, with the Jazz clinging to their postseason livelihood, Donovan’s Mitchell banged legs with James Harden while dribbling in the half-court. He was [...]

Doc Rivers has been coaching the Los Angeles Clippers since 2013 after a rare coach trade with the Boston Celtics for a 1st round pick, and was promoted to president of basketball operations in 2014. The Clippers have had a good amount of success under Rivers but are clearly in a transitional phase after trading [...]

Draymond Green is a classic example of a guy you love to play with and hate to play against.

Nikola Jokic’s agent, Misko Raznatovic, recently gave an interview with Blic Sport and didn’t mince words on the subject of his client’s potential extension with the Denver Nuggets: The 23-year-old better get one, or else. Okay, he didn’t really say that. But he might as well have. Here’s the translated version of his comments courtesy [...]

It sounds like Larry Nance Jr. will be out of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ postseason rotation on an indefinite basis. And he can blame Tristan Thompson for his displacement. Nance has now logged under three total minutes through the Cavaliers’ first two games with the Toronto Raptors, both of which were victories. He also only saw [...]
