With the 2021-22 NBA season about to end mercifully for the Los Angeles Lakers, it seems like the firing of head coach Frank Vogel is imminent. On the surface, it would seem like a rash decision to get rid of him when many others share the blame for L.A.’s disastrous season, and especially when one remembers that he coached the team to the world championship literally just 18 months ago. But in reality, Vogel had reportedly lost his connection with his players. During a season in which the… Source link

There are few sights in hockey more heartwarming than interactions between fans and players during pre-game warmups. Young fans line up against the glass, hoping to catch the attention of their heroes for a chance at a wave, a gifted puck or even a selfie. However good-natured and touching these exchanges are, they can sometimes take an unexpected turn for the worse.

After the final whistle sounded last Sunday at an unsanctioned basketball tournament held at the Stronghold Christian Church in Lithonia, Georgia, a group of players physically attacked one of the referees.

It’s roster bonus season in the NBA. For Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday, that means it’s payday. With the NBA’s regular season concluding on Sunday, the Milwaukee Bucks rested their starters against the Cleveland Cavaliers — all except for Holiday, who remained conspicuously in the starting lineup alongside a group of players who most certainly won’t be seeing significant playing time in the postseason. The Bucks were guaranteed a No. 2 or No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference and appeared… Source link

AUGUSTA, Ga. — For everything he accomplished this week at Augusta National Golf Club in his return to competitive golf, Tiger Woods will be disappointed in his result at the 86th Masters. For how well he hit his driver in Sunday’s final round, the rest of his game was rather suspect as the five-time winner of the green jacket signed for a second consecutive 6-over 78 to tie his worst-ever finish at the Masters and finish the tournament at 13-over and walk off the course at T-47 shortly… Source link
