To make clear, as today's ESPN update mentioned, if we pass Sunday's deadline without new CBA or extension, it doesn't mean immediate calamity. I asked before this extension what happens in real terms without one, and source said without an active strike/lockout move it's "business as usual". #WNBA

Positive words about Will Richard and not so positive about Jordan Poole‘s rep and how Willie Green avoided being fired due to his wife being best pals with the owner.

The Pelicans are the NBA’s most unserious franchise. Who’s to blame for that?

I was reminded earlier today about when Kevin Garnett talked about Hakeem Olajuwon's trash talk, and it improved my day considerably. I share it now with you, in hopes that it will improve yours.
