Both executives intimated as much during the Lakers’ exit interviews. Here are [...]

The Oklahoma City didn’t come anywhere close to meeting expectations in the 2017-18 season after acquiring Paul George and Carmelo Anthony in the off-season, losing in six games in the 1st round to the Utah Jazz. That is not exactly what anybody envisioned happening and makes Paull George’s free agency decision that much more interesting [...]

Boston sports fans are known as some of the most passionate and aggressive sports fans in the country (and they love to tell you about it). They were out in full force on Monday night to support the Celtics in Game 1 of their 2nd round series with the 76ers and may have contributed just [...]
