should be fine, reviewing is fair use. If you commentate on something, its fair use too.

Don't worry about it, unless you start straight stealing content from nba.com or something you will be fine.
Make sure you advertise the fact you aren't affiliated with them, and put you are a fan page or something.

No, you do not need any written consent, but to be fair, you should avoid using their logo.
