Naturally, there were some jeers from the TD Garden crowd on Thursday as the Celtics fell behind the undermanned Lakers. Even without LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers’ B team shot brilliantly from beyond the 3-point line all evening. However, it was evident from the first tip that the C’s were not playing with the appropriate intensity. Despite a brief lead in the second quarter, the Lakers led for the duration of Thursday’s game. The Celtics committed nine turnovers in the first quarter. However, C’s coach Joe Mazzulla claimed he wasn’t disturbed by the jeers following the team’s 114-105…

SHOCKING NEWS: The Flyers’ coach gave a message following their Lightning defeat. Tuesday night at the Wells Fargo Centre, the Philadelphia Flyers fell short against the Tampa Bay Lightning, 6-3, led by hat trick hero Nikita Kucherov.

On Tuesday night, the Lightning weren’t quite as good as the Harlem Globetrotters, but their greatest players carried the most of the load. That was the strategy against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday and the Ottawa Senators on Sunday. Within…

While the Super Bowl is on everyone’s mind, I must admit that I’ve been wondering about the offseason of an NFL team that has been out of playoff contention for virtually the entire season. The Bears will make the most critical decision of any team in the coming months, as they have the first pick in the 2024 draft after dealing with the Panthers prior to last year’s draft. In a quarterback class that might see a few talents fall off the board in Round 1, Chicago is in position to start the QB carousel. Depending on who you ask,…

Despite losing new newcomer Corey Allan to a season-ending ACL injury and having roster places vacant, the St George Illawarra Dragons have no interest in signing recently terminated winger David Nofoaluma. The 192-game player, who has been with the Tigers since 2013, but has had a difficult last 24 months, was eventually released by mutual consent on Tuesday. While Nofoaluma could have addressed a board meeting on Wednesday evening about two recent breaches, he chose to accept a $300,000 settlement for the remaining two years of his contract. It means the winger is now a free agent late in the…

Atlanta Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos had a message for those fans who believe the franchise requires another major move. During an appearance at the team’s annual fan fest, Anthopoulos was humorously challenged by some fans who suggested he trade for Chicago White Sox pitcher Dylan Cease. Anthopoulos found the whole affair humorous, but he was honest with the fans in his reaction. “We’ve already tried. “Expensive,” Anthopoulos replied. That asking price has undoubtedly reduced Cease’s market, despite the fact that the White Sox have reportedly been willing to trade him throughout the summer. A new team was recently linked…
