With rest on mind, Adam Silver says NBA asking arenas to free up more dates
OAKLAND, Calif. -- NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the player rest issue that plagued the 2016-17 campaign has been recognized by the league's owners as "inevitable," but he is still seeking alternative solutions to the problem.Speaking to the media at his annual news conference before Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Silver rejected the idea of expanding the regular-season schedule beyond the additional week that has been planned for the 2017-18 season but said the league could reduce the amount of ..>> view originalGrading the broadcasters on NBA Finals Game 1 between Cavs, Warriors
CLEVELAND, Ohio - As we do with big games and series, we'll take a look at observations made during the NBA Finals broadcast. Game 1 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors was shown on ABC Thursday night. You'd be hard-pressed to find more dramatic music than notes from "Rocky" being played leading up to tipoff in this, the rubber match for these teams in the finals for the third consecutive year.

Rihanna must not have learned from Spike Lee — heckling opposing NBA players doesn’t end well for your team. Rihanna, a big LeBron James fan, was sitting courtside at Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday — and she appeared to be taunting Warriors star Kevin Durant during Golden State’s 113-91 win in Oakland, Calif. The singing sensation at one point could be heard yelling “brick†at Durant, who stared at her after making a free throw. Then, early in the fourth quarter, she stood up ..>> view originalThe Warriors Drub the Cavaliers in a Defeat for Parity
Stephen Curry, who scored 28 points, demoralized the Cavaliers early in the third quarter with back-to-back 3-pointers to push the Warriors’ lead to 20. They led by 21 entering the fourth. Golden State took great care of the ball throughout, finishing with 31 assists and four turnovers.“I wouldn’t imagine it,” Brown said of that disparity, “especially going into Game 1 against that team.” LeBron James, whose play for the Cavaliers through the first three rounds was virtually flawless, had an un..>> view originalMartin Kaymer: Tiger Woods criticism unfair, disrespectful
Two-time major champion Martin Kaymer took to Twitter on Thursday to defend Tiger Woods in the aftermath of his DUI arrest, imploring the golfer's detractors to "stop being so nasty.''Kaymer, who is from Germany, posted a 2-minute, 5-second video on his Twitter account in which he gave a heartfelt take on Woods' troubles."Obviously a lot of people know what happened to Tiger Woods the last few days, few weeks,'' Kaymer said.

LeBron James bit on a pump fake and got no help as Kevin Durant drove to the basket for one of his several uncontested dunks. Stephen Curry was left alone behind the 3-point line and made Cleveland pay time and again. The defensive woes that plagued the Cavaliers late in the regular season were glaring against the star-laden Golden State Warriors in a 113-91 loss in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night. Durant had six dunks in the first half alone to match his most ever in a game, Cur..>> view originalGolden State Buries Cleveland In Game 1 Of NBA Finals, 113-91

“This is where every player wants to be, the highest level of basketball,” he said. “This is what you dreamed about as a kid, so I’m just trying to be there for my teammates and play up to my standards as an individual.”More than anything, this is what he signed up for last summer, why he left Oklahoma City to further elevate a team that already lived in the clouds, to send a chill through the defending champions should they meet once again in June. The Cavs had no defense for him in the opener,..>> view originalLiriano returns as Blue Jays face Yankees (Jun 02, 2017)
TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays will be going with somewhat of an unknown quantity Friday night when Francisco Liriano comes off the disabled list to start against the New York Yankees. The Yankees, however, know pretty well what to expect from their starting pitcher, Michael Pineda, who has been consistently good this season. It puts the Yankees in a good spot after they won the opener of a four-game series at Rogers Centre 12-2 on Thursday night. Liriano (2-2, 6.35 ERA) has not pitched fo..>> view originalMets' 2017 season continues to be sabotaged by bizarre incidents
