A frank assessment from James Worthy reignites conversations about the balance of star power in Los Angeles
Los Angeles Lakers legend James Worthy offered a blunt, unvarnished assessment of Luka Doncic following a frustrating night for the Lakers, and his comments have reignited a broader debate over how the star duo of Doncic and LeBron James are meshing in the purple and gold.In a recent analyst appearance after the Lakers' 103-88 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday, Worthy didn't mince words about what he saw from Doncic's performance.Worthy noted that Doncic appeared disengaged and overly focused on drawing fouls rather than playing aggressively within the flow of the game.Worthy's critique was direct: "From the beginning, he looked a little slow. It looked like he was searching for the calls a lot."He urged the young star to "just play basketball," a message rooted in his own Hall of Fame career built on physicality, timing and balance.Doncic […]

Siegel: Marc Savard’s firing was an unusual half-measure by the Maple Leafs
The Maple Leafs didn’t fire head coach Craig Berube on Monday. They fired one of his assistant coaches, Marc Savard, instead, in an unusual half-measure that doesn’t get at the root of the Leafs’ problems this season.There were legitimate reasons for Savard’s dismissal, odd as it was coming 35 games into the season.AdvertisementSavard oversaw the power play and the power play was bad all season long. It has been a significant factor in the team’s troubles: not the factor, but a factor. Each and every stab at a solution — including having Auston Matthews (weirdly) quarterback a five-forward top unit with Easton Cowan — didn’t work. The unit never did feel prepared in the way it had been in previous seasons. There were days when the Leafs didn’t practise it all amid the stumbles, only to show up with a new-look […]
Why Eagles are sticking with Jake Elliott after three missed field goals vs. Commanders
The Philadelphia Eagles are sticking with struggling Jake Elliott, whose two Super Bowl rings with the Eagles outweigh a cold stretch that included three missed field goals Saturday.“He’s had such a great career with so many highs, but like any player, he’s had some moments of struggle as well, and all I’ve ever seen him do is get up out of that and rise from that. I know he went through some struggles last year and ended up having however many field goals and extra points in the Super Bowl and in the NFC championship game,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Monday. “So I have no doubt in my mind about the competitor he is and the way and how mentally tough he is to be able to rise from this situation as well.”AdvertisementAsked if the Eagles will bring in […]
