The NBA has doled out punishments for Secret Hallwaygate, and the Houston Rockets aren’t happy about it. As a quick recap: Things became chippy during the Los Angeles Clippers’ Monday night win over the Rockets. It was the first time Chris Paul returned to Staples Center as a member of his new team, and tensions [...]

Things turned chippy between the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers’ during their Monday night contest—and they apparently devolved even further after the final buzzer. On the heels of the Clippers’ victory, James Harden (who did not play), Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green went into Los Angeles’ locker room looking for Austin Rivers (who also [...]

Things between Blake Griffin and Chris Paul were absolutely as awkward and combustible as you think they were. Paul is now a member of the Houston Rockets, so this doesn’t matter anymore. But the two spent more than a half-decade together on the Los Angeles Clippers, ostensibly jostling for alpha status. And while the tense [...]

Rivers opened up about the entire situation to Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski (h/t Bleacher Report), and it was during their little chat that it became clear that [...]

When Los Angeles Clippers head coach and President of Basketball Operations Doc Rivers traded for his son Austin Rivers, the move was widely scrutinized—and for good reason. The roster desperately needed a wing defender, yet they traded Reggie Bullock and Chris Douglas-Roberts while releasing Jordan Farmar to make room for the young Rivers. It further [...]

The Pelicans have a bright future and may cause some headaches in the Western Conference. Anthony Davis is the centerpiece but guys like Austin Rivers may play a role too. That’s if he’s in New Orleans for the long-term. The team has decided to decline his 2015-16 team option, making him an unrestricted free agent [...]

During Sterling-related press conferences in last year’s playoffs, Doc Rivers seemed very troubled by the entire situation. You got the feeling that if it were not the playoffs, at the very least, he may have stepped away fro a bit. According to the additional reports, if Sterling is still the owner by the time next [...]
