Absence jedné z hlavních opor, která vede týmové statistiky v počtu bodů (28,1), doskoků (11,5) i asistencí (5,4) na zápas, je pro ambice Celtics na obrat velkou ranou.Sedmadvacetiletý Tatum se zranil tři minuty před koncem při snaze zachránit ztracený míč. Olympijský vítěz z Paříže, který do té doby nastřílel 42 bodů, se s bolestivou grimasou držel za kotník a ze hřiště mu museli pomoci spoluhráči.

NBA Draft Lottery takeaways: Mavericks stun, Spurs have options, 76ers cash in
John Fanta College Basketball Broadcaster and Reporter <!--> --> It was as stunning as it was wild and unpredictable all rolled into one. On Monday night in Chicago, Nico Harrison and the Dallas Mavericks received an unimaginable gift from the basketball gods. A get-out-of-jail-free card. A second chance to right the ship after their decision to move on from Luka Dončić and trade him to Los Angeles for Anthony Davis, in what has already been determined an all-time swing-and-a-miss by Dallas for a variety of reasons. It is still surreal to say this: the Mavericks, with a 1.8% chance to come out with the No. 1 pick in the draft, won the lottery and made themselves hundreds of millions of dollars in the process because they now get to select Cooper Flagg. It marked the fourth-lowest percentage chance of reeling in […]

Muller rechaça status de Abel Ferreira, do Palmeiras, no Brasil: “Exagero”
Abel Ferreira, em jogo do Palmeiras (Foto: Cesar Greco/Palmeiras/by Canon) Muller não tem dúvidas do melhor treinador do futebol brasileiro na atualidade. Diante do trabalho histórico de Abel Ferreira no Palmeiras, o comentarista foi convicto ao colocar o português no patamar mais elevado. Porém, levando em conta os profissionais que fizeram história no passado, o status de top-1 de todos os tempos é visto como algo bastante exagerado. “É o melhor treinador do futebol brasileiro de agora.”, disse Muller, no podcast Tá no Jogo, da Gazeta Esportiva. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Não, aí é exagero (melhor de todos os tempos). A gente não pode falar uma coisa dessa. ‘O Abel é o maior treinador da história do futebol brasileiro’. Aí você chutou a cruz.”, acrescentou. Muller sugeriu Abel Ferreira na seleção brasileira Antes do anúncio de Ancelotti, Muller sinalizou Abel Ferreira como […]
MLB was wrong to reinstate Pete Rose: Why nothing has changed about hits leader’s baseball gambling
Getty Images Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred announced Tuesday that Pete Rose and 16 others, including "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, have been reinstated from the permanently ineligible list. Among the most meaningful changes associated with that decision is that these dead players will now be eligible for Hall of Fame induction by committee (rather than BBWAA vote). For baseball, that was the wrong decision.First, let's review. The facts of the case are these, and they are indisputable: MLB Rule 21(d) states: "(2) Any player, umpire, or Club or League official or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has a duty to perform, shall be declared permanently ineligible."That rule was instituted in 1921 and was posted in every clubhouse for decades. Pete Rose willingly violated the rule both as a player and […]
