Draymond Green’s mom is officially the coolest. Mothers, fathers and parental figures in general pass on a lot of wisdom over the years. Most teach kids right from wrong. They show you how to tie your shoes, fold your laundry, save money and be responsible. They help guide you through at least the first 25 [...]

The New Orleans Pelicans’ may have lost (99-106) in game one of their first-round matchup with the Warriors. But it was clear that they fought valiantly to the very end, particularly, in the final period where they outscored the Warriors 33-22. Also, they did that without their starting point guard—Tyreke Evans—who was forced to leave [...]

Of the few high-profile NBA free-agent flight risks that are must-watch case studies entering the 2015 offseason, LaMarcus Aldridge has never been one of them. Not since last summer at least. It was then that it became clear he wanted to remain with the Portland Trail Blazers. They were on the up and up following [...]

Even before the 2014-15 season began, the Charlotte Hornets were looking to keep their momentum from the previous season and make it two-straight playoff appearances for the franchise. And despite being eliminated by the Heat in the opening round—it was clear that resurgence of center Al Jefferson, and the development of their star point guard, [...]

Yes, the dream is coming true! Possibly. Melvin Hunt has done a phenomenal job replacing Brian Shaw as head coach of the Denver Nuggets, but the interim tag remains, even this side of the regular season. The Nuggets are still expected to stage an exhaustive search, and Mike D’Antoni is among their most likely candidates(!). [...]

Byron Scott’s motto should totally be, “Why have three when you can have two?” The Los Angeles Lakers head coach has a well-documented and iffy relationship with the long ball. He’s on record as doubting the impact of three-pointers on championship teams. Ahem: [tweet https://twitter.com/BaxterHolmes/status/523211292081790978] One season and 61 losses later, things haven’t changed much. [...]

With the 2014-2015 regular season officially wrapped up. It’s now time to get ready for the start of surely another memorable and exciting postseason. However, the Memphis Grizzlies may not be fully ready come playoff time, as they are still missing two key players in their starting lineup. Star point guard Mike Conley, and defensive [...]

Welp, here we are, at the end of another NBA regular season, preparing for a postseason gauntlet that, for the first time in five years, won’t include the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder did their part on Wednesday night, slaughtering the tanking Minnesota Timberwolves 138-113. Russell Westbrook did Russell Westbrook things, exploding for 37 points, [...]

LeBron James has a sense of humor. Hopefully Kevin Love does, too. Much has been made about the relationship between these two. Most recently, Love said Russell Westbrook was having a better season than LeBron. Shortly thereafter, a report alleged that LeBron was growing frustrated with his new teammate. Before that, there were tweets like [...]

Ordinarily, veterans have earned the right to speak their mind. A 10-time All-Star and 2008 Finals MVP, it’s fair to say Paul Pierce has reached that point. But the 37-year-old said some things about some former teammates to ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan, and the timing couldn’t have been worse. Pierce, who played for the Brooklyn Nets [...]
