Damian Lillard’s career high propels Trail Blazers past Mavericks 134-131

Brandon King

The Portland Trail Blazers continue their fight for the post season as they got a critical 134-131 victory over the Dallas Mavericks Monday night.  The driving force behind this push is Damian Lillard. Dame who was in a bit of a row with Paul George and Patrick Beverley ( and a side of Skip Byaless) after uncharacteristically coming up short in the waning moments by missing a pair of go-ahead free throws and a game-tying three-pointer against the Clippers, has scored 112 points in the subsequent two contest, including tying…

Draymond Green fined $50k for tampering

Brandon King

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was hit with a $50,000 fine for “tampering.” The cause of said fine stemmed from comments Green made on a recent appearance on Inside The NBA in regards to Devin Booker. Green would say of the budding young star, to “get my man out of Phoenix” and that his current locale “was not good for his career.” We have been rightfully critical of the NBA’s inconsistent enforcement of tampering rules but Green made it easy for the goofs at the League office by basically…
