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. We all know some of these guys growing up playing basketball or playing pickup, the guys who constantly talk trash and irritate their opponents incessantly, but do everything they can to help you win a game. [...]

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 [...]

Jaylen Brown ended up logging almost 25 minutes during the Boston Celtics’ 108-103 Game 2 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night. Had the team’s doctors gotten their way, though, he wouldn’t have seen a single solitary second on the court. That’s the message Brown, along with head coach Brad Stevens, delivered after the [...]

David Fizdale was wanted a man. Before accepting the New York Knicks’ head coaching position, the 43-year-old apparently had an offer from the Phoenix Suns that he turned down, according to The Athletic’s Michael Scotto: The Suns would go on to hire Utah Jazz assistant Igor Kokoskov—a solid choice in his own right. But Fizdale’s [...]

Drake has officially been warned by the NBA. Why yes, that is a real sentence. Welcome to 2018. The music mogul, who is also the Toronto Raptors’ global ambassador, was reportedly scolded by the league for his two confrontations with Cleveland Cavaliers benchwarmer Kendrick Perkins during and after Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. [...]

There is no sugarcoating the fact that the Oklahoma City Thunder didn’t not live up to expectations this season. After blockbuster moves to acquire Paul George and Carmelo Anthony this summer, many thought they would be the biggest threat to the Warriors throne in the western conference and maybe the NBA. Fast forward 7 months [...]

Stephen Curry’s return to the Golden State Warriors is about to get even more official. Yes, he rejoined the team for the first time since March 8 during their Game 2 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. But he made his return coming off the bench, as a super-sub sixth man, presumably so head coach [...]

Clint Capela is not Dwight Howard. James Harden actually likes him. What, was I just supposed to not swing at that low-hanging fruit? Seriously, though, Harden has a special affinity for his man in the middle. And it predates the Houston Rockets’ rise to NBA superpower. Consider what general manager Daryl Morey and Capela himself [...]
