The Wizards and their fans are already on edge as they wait to see if John Wall’s season is over or not after five separate fractions were discovered in his hand. Currently doctors say his hand is too swollen to properly diagnose it, so at least for now the team can hope he will play, although the odds are very low. Understandably things around the team are tense and it led to coach Randy Wittman calling out a specific reporter for what he says are complete lies about Wall’s injury.

Canadians and more specifically people from Toronto are clearly no fans of Paul Pierce, especially after what he said about their beloved franchise. Pierce recently said Toronto was a decent team, but they just didn’t have “it”. Now “it” could have been many things, but either way it was not a compliment, and Raptors GM Masai Ujiri responded accordingly, cursing Pierce’s name before the series and being fined for it. Drake is the Raptors “team ambassador” and it seems some people are upset with Drizzy showing Pierce some love.

Word got back to the Raptors about what Pierce was saying and Amir Johnson had an unlikely comparison with Pierce & Viagra.
(Video) NBA: Otto Porter Gets Stuffed At The Rim & Paul Pierce Has A Hilarious Reaction From The Bench
Otto Porter has only been making headlines for the wrong reasons lately. It wasn’t that long ago when he was playing stand still defense as play continued around him, and now he is being mentioned for another not so great reason. He tried to throw down an alley oop from John Wall last night but instead got nothing but the front of the rim. Now it was somewhat Wall’s fault for the bad pass, but either way the finish was ugly. Perhaps the funniest part of the entire play however was Paul Pierce’s reaction from the bench.
