Van Gundy blasts Pels after 'embarrassing' loss

Published in Basketball
Thursday, 11 March 2021 21:58

NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans Pelicans coach Stan Van Gundy lit into his team after a 135-105 drubbing at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night, calling its defensive performance "embarrassing."

"Look, I understand it's on me and what we're putting out there defensively is embarrassing, quite honestly," Van Gundy said. "We've all got to take ownership of it. A lot of it is me and a lot of it is our players, and they've got to take some ownership. We didn't compete tonight, and that's the bottom line.

"We didn't compete. We didn't help each other. We didn't play together on either end of the floor. A really embarrassing evening for us tonight."

The Pelicans looked like a team on a mission to make a playoff push for the first eight minutes of the game -- jumping out to a 16-point first-quarter lead. They were outscored 125-79 in the final 40 minutes of the game.

According to ESPN Stats & Information research, the Timberwolves became only the second team in the past 25 seasons to win a game by at least 30 points after trailing by at least 15, joining the Chicago Bulls, who pulled it off against the then-New Jersey Nets on Dec. 23, 1996.

Minnesota also became the third team to win a game by at least 30 points after entering the contest with a winning percentage under .200 30 games into the season, according to Elias Sports Bureau data. The last team to pull that off was the Cleveland Cavaliers in January 1971.

Van Gundy called it the worst offensive game the Pelicans have played in a while but blamed their defense -- ranked second to last in the league in defensive rating -- for the loss.

"We didn't shoot the ball well and, quite honestly, we're so bad defensively, we can't have a bad offensive night," Van Gundy said. "We can't even have a mediocre night. If we have a bad offensive night, we'll get crushed like we did tonight."

The Pelicans shot 43.0% from the field and went 6-of-32 from 3-point range. They also didn't help themselves at the free throw line, where they were 13-of-24.

It was an off night for Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns -- 16 points, 7 rebounds, 7-of-19 shooting and 2-of-10 from 3-point range -- but big performances from Anthony Edwards (27 points), Jaylen Nowell (28 points, 11-of-13 shooting, 6-of-7 from deep) and Jaden McDaniels (20 points, 8-of-9 shooting, 4-of-5 from deep) helped push them to the win.

It was Timberwolves coach Chris Finch's first victory in six games since taking his first NBA head-coaching job last month.

"[The Timberwolves] played well and were inspired to play. We didn't seem to care," Van Gundy said. "We got what we deserved. When I say we, again, I'm not putting it all on the players. I'm a big part of that, too, but I'm not absolving them. It's all of us."

Van Gundy said he didn't know why his team lacked the fight and energy it showed before the break, even in losses. But he indicated it started on Wednesday when the team got back from the All-Star break.

"We didn't have energy yesterday in practice either," Van Gundy said. "It was one of the worst practices I've been a part of in my career. I don't know. Sometimes the days off makes you lazy. It obviously helped them and did not help us. It was a bad, bad performance. We will see if we can play a lot better tomorrow night."

Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram said the team was knocking the rust off a little bit coming back after the break but, at 15-22, he knows the Pelicans don't have much time left if they want to make a playoff run.

"There's only 35 games left, and we want to be in the playoffs, so we have [to have] the urgency to figure it out," Ingram said.

'Vintage' Kyrie scores 40, embraces C's after win

Published in Basketball
Thursday, 11 March 2021 21:58

NEW YORK -- Kyrie Irving tied his season high of 40 points on Thursday night against the Boston Celtics, notching his fifth game with 40 or more points since joining the Brooklyn Nets prior to the 2019-20 season. Only two players -- Vince Carter and John Williamson -- have had more such games for the franchise.

After the Brooklyn Nets' 121-109 win over Boston, Irving hugged his former teammates before walking off the floor.

"Big surprise to a lot of people," Irving said in jest. "All that s--- talking about me and all the relationships I have with every former teammate of mine."

Irving played for the Celtics from 2017 to 2019. The Nets' guard has scored a combined 77 points against Boston this season. Still, Irving said facing his former team didn't necessarily add extra fuel to his game, adding that he expected to see the Celtics in the playoffs.

"I'm just waiting for the main stage," Irving said. "Playing in front of millions of people and it actually mattering in terms of win or lose or go home. I'm looking forward to that, but games like this in the middle of the season against guys that you know well, that's always a blessing."

Irving's former teammate Marcus Smart called Irving's performance "vintage Kyrie," but he added that the sharpshooters around Irving made the Nets particularly tough to guard. Landry Shamet had 18 points for Brooklyn off the bench, while Joe Harris added 12 points and Jeff Green finished with 11.

James Harden had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Nets, who have won 11 of their past 12 games. After the game, Harden said that early on, he could feel the team was shaking off a bit of post-All-Star rust, but that Irving helped carry them to a win.

"He's a different breed," Harden said of Irving. "He has that killer mentality in a sense of, no matter who we play or where we're playing, he is going to go out there and try to destroy the opponent, and that's something that you'd want on your team at all times. That mentality is what sets him apart from a lot of guys in this league."

Silas: Tucker not expected to return to Rockets

Published in Basketball
Thursday, 11 March 2021 21:58

Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker decided not to play on Thursday night and is not expected to return to the team, coach Stephen Silas said.

Tucker has grown increasingly frustrated that he has yet to be moved to a contender and made it clear that he'd prefer to sit out games until the front office finds a deal for him ahead of the March 25 trade deadline, sources told ESPN.

"We're going to try to figure out something that works for him and works for us as far as him not being on the team anymore," Silas said after the injury-ravaged Rockets' 125-105 loss to the Sacramento Kings extended Houston's losing streak to 14 games. "I was under the assumption that he was going to be playing tonight, and he didn't play. That was disappointing, but there's no secret that it's been a rough year."

The Rockets have had several concurrent trade discussions with teams in recent weeks involving Tucker, talks that are expected to result in a deal for Tucker prior to the March 25 trade deadline, sources said.

The Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets are among teams that have discussed possible deals with the Rockets in recent weeks, sources said.

So far, the Rockets' preference for a young, productive rotation player in trade talks has been a sticking point with teams, which haven't been willing to part with that kind of an asset for a 35-year-old on an expiring contract, sources said.

Tucker traveled with the Rockets to Sacramento and warmed up prior to the game, but he didn't suit up to join the team on the bench. He hadn't been listed on the injury report.

"He decided that he was just not really with it, and we decided that that's a good idea," Silas said, adding that Tucker would travel back to Houston instead of remaining on the Rockets' road trip. "Let's move on."

Tucker, 35, has been an essential role player during his 3½-year tenure with the Rockets, contributing significantly more than his averages of 6.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game indicate. He often defended the opponent's top scorer -- playing center despite standing only 6-foot-5 during Houston's short-lived small-ball experiment last season -- and primarily served as a corner 3-point threat who spaced the floor offensively.

Tucker is in the final season of a four-year, $32 million deal. The Rockets didn't guarantee the final year of the deal until February 2020.

Tucker, who played in 267 consecutive games until a bruised thigh sidelined him for two games in February, reported late to training camp in the fall and acknowledged that he felt unappreciated after discussions about a contract extension broke down.

The Rockets thought they were close to signing Tucker to a two-year extension for $17 million with $10 million guaranteed, sources said, but the Houston front office balked after Tucker's camp countered with a proposal for a fully guaranteed two-year deal worth $24 million.

Tucker has struggled this season amid the Rockets' roster shuffling following the trades of Russell Westbrook and James Harden, posting career lows in points per game (4.4), field goal percentage (36.6%) and 3-point percentage (31.4%).

"He's been professional," Silas said. "He's been in the lineup and trying and doing what he can, but at this point, we're going to do what's best for the group and do what's best for P.J., and that's probably not having him here."

Leicestershire have signed Australia opener Marcus Harris for their County Championship and Royal London Cup campaigns.

Harris returned to the Australia side in January when he partnered David Warner in the final match of the series against India in Brisbane, his first Test since being dropped during the 2019 Ashes.

In the Sheffield Shield this season he has scored 516 runs at 64.50 including 239 when he formed a record partnership of 486 with Will Pucovski. Harris will join Leicestershire when Victoria's season finishes.

"I am delighted to have signed for Leicestershire and cannot wait to get up and running within English domestic cricket," Harris said. "To play domestic cricket in England has always been an ambition of mine."

Leicestershire coach Paul Nixon said: "Marcus is a high-class opening batsman and will add both quality experience to the top of our batting order. He has an excellent first-class record in the Sheffield Shield.

"He has represented Australia at the highest level in the test match arena and will also add a high-class option to our 50-over side, which also fits the bill with Colin Ackermann winning selection for Manchester Originals in the Hundred."

The club previously announced that South Africa allrounder Wiaan Mulder would not be taking up his contract due to uncertainty around the international schedule.

Harris is the latest in a long list of Australian players securing county clubs, either new ones or deals delayed from last season due to the pandemic, including Billy Stanlake joining Derbyshire and Cameron Bancroft returning to Durham.

Tasmania 1 for 108 (Paine 54) beat South Australia 104 (Andrews 3-29) by nine wickets

South Australia's season hit a new low as they were crushed by nine wickets with more than 32 overs to spare by Tasmania in the Marsh Cup.

Playing on a neutral ground at Junction Oval, South Australia collapsed in a heap for 104 and it was within touching distance of being chased without loss before Tim Paine fell with one run needed.

The margin was enough for a rare double bonus-point victory for Tasmania - achieved when chasing a target inside 25 overs - which took them top of the table having played three games. The entire match lasted three balls less than 50 overs.

The day began badly for the Redbacks when Jake Weatherald, who had spent the first two-and-half overs at the non-strikers' end, was run out without facing a ball as Mac Wright hit direct from cover.

Having progressed to the relative stability of 1 for 32 in the sixth over the wheels then came off. Harry Nielsen and Alex Carey both edged drives to the keeper off Jackson Bird either side of Travis Head getting a leading edge against Riley Meredith.

Meredith, who had been forced to sit out the previous match against Victoria due to complications over border restrictions, later claimed a return catch to remove Callum Ferguson which began South Australia's final slide of 5 for 15 to be all out with 18 overs remaining.

The spinners, Tom Andrews and Jarrod Freeman, combined to take 5 for 46 from 15 overs against the lower order.

South Australia are bottom of the Marsh Cup without a point and are also last in the Sheffield Shield.

South Africa chose to bowl vs India

Standing-in for the ill Sune Luus, Laura Wolvaardt won the toss and opted to bowl in the third ODI against India Women in Lucknow. This is in keeping with the trend through the first two matches of the series, where the Ekana pitch offered considerable assistance to the seamers in the first hour or so, before settling into a batting beauty in the second part of the matches.

In all, South Africa made four changes to their XI. Apart from Luus, wicketkeeper-batter Trisha Chetty missed out because of an injury and was replaced by Sinalo Jafta. Top-order batter Anne Bosch, offspinning-allrounder Nondumiso Shangase and seamer Tumi Sekhukhune also made their way into the side, with Nadine de Klerk and Nonkhululako Mlaba missing out. India are unchanged from the second ODI.

Both games thus far have followed an identical pattern, with the South Africans winning comfortably after bowling first in the first ODI, before India paid them back in the same coin in the second game.

India: 1 Jemimah Rodrigues, 2 Smriti Mandhana, 3 Punam Raut, 4 Mithali Raj (capt), 5 Harmanpreet Kaur, 6 Deepti Sharma, 7 Sushma Verma (wk), 8 Jhulan Goswami, 9 Rajeshwari Gayakwad, 10 Mansi Joshi, 11 Poonam Yadav

LeVert 'getting closer,' could return on road trip

Published in Basketball
Thursday, 11 March 2021 19:18

Indiana Pacers guard Caris LeVert could return from an extended absence during the team's three-game road trip that begins Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers.

LeVert, who was acquired in the four-team trade that sent James Harden to the Nets and Victor Oladipo to the Rockets, had been out since a post-trade physical revealed a small mass on his kidney.

"Caris LeVert played in practice today. He's getting closer and closer, it won't be too much longer," coach Nate Bjorkgren told reporters on Thursday. He added that there's "a chance" LeVert could play during the road trip.

The Pacers play the Phoenix Suns on Saturday and the Denver Nuggets on Monday.

LeVert underwent surgery to treat renal cell carcinoma of his left kidney in late January. The Pacers said at the time that no further treatment was needed.

After a strong start to the season, the Pacers have struggled since trading Oladipo and are in desperate need of a third creator behind Malcolm Brogdon and Domantas Sabonis.

"[LeVert] looks good. To me, he looks ready to play," Brogdon told The Indianapolis Star. "A complete game changer. He changes the scouting report. Having another dynamic scorer on the floor can really help this team."

LeVert, 26, averaged 18.5 points and 6 assists in 12 games for Brooklyn prior to the trade.

Fresh LeBron locked in on 2nd half: 'It's go time'

Published in Basketball
Thursday, 11 March 2021 19:18

LOS ANGELES -- With the week-and-a-half All-Star break behind him to rest his 36-year-old legs, LeBron James said he's locked in for the home stretch as the Los Angeles Lakers attempt to defend their title.

"It's go time," James told reporters on a video conference call Thursday before the Lakers' first practice since the break ended. "It's time to get prepared and making that turnaround, that last lap going into the postseason. ... I'm not into looking ahead saying, 'OK, let's take this off, take that off.'

"Nah, it's go time for me."

The 18-year veteran sat out L.A.'s last game before the break -- a 123-120 loss to the Sacramento Kings on the second night of a back-to-back set -- in order to rest his left ankle. It was the only game James has missed this season, as he's averaged 25.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 7.8 assists to put his name in the MVP conversation.

Between missing the Kings game and the break, James will have had 10 days off heading into Friday's home game against the Indiana Pacers -- save for the 13 minutes he played in the All-Star Game before sitting out the second half.

"I kind of use the first half of the season as being in gear 1, 2 and 3, and then in the second half being in more like 4, 5, 6, and then when the playoffs start you're in 7," James said. "And that's kind of the way I've always kind of adjusted over the last few years of my career, really just ramping up more, more and more as the months go on as the games go on going into the playoffs."

A couple other Lakers starters -- Anthony Davis and Marc Gasol -- remain stuck in neutral, however.

Lakers coach Frank Vogel said Davis, sidelined with tendinosis and a calf strain in his right leg since Feb. 14, would not play against the Pacers, but will be re-evaluated by team doctors at the arena on Friday night.

Davis lifted weights at the Lakers practice facility Thursday but did not participate in the group practice with the team, Vogel said.

L.A. has gone just 3-7 since Davis went out, including the loss to Denver on Feb. 14 when Davis planted wrong on his right leg and didn't play in the second half.

Gasol will miss his third straight game because of the league's health and safety protocols. Vogel said the Lakers "don't really have a timeline" for when Gasol could return.

Third-year forward Kostas Antetokounmpo is also out against the Pacers because of the health and safety protocols, according to the team.

With Gasol absent, L.A. will get another look at center Damian Jones, who was signed to a second 10-day contract on Thursday. Jones totaled 12 points, 4 rebounds and 4 blocks in 30 combined minutes in three appearances before the break.

"I want to see more of what he did," Vogel said of Jones. "I thought he played well for us. He plays the role of a lob threat. Don't try to play outside of that lane offensively.

"To be a screener and a rebounder and a lob threat offensively, and defensively, to be able to man the middle, to be a shot-blocker, to play in our pick-and-roll coverages, and obviously to rebound the ball and match up with other teams' bigger centers is what we asked of him last week. I thought he did well with it, and we'll continue to look at that over these next 10 days."

Major League Baseball announced that it would test a variety of experimental rules across different levels of the minor leagues during the 2021 season. Ranging from banning some forms of the defensive shift and using larger bases to implementing electronic strike zones and experimenting with 15-second pitch clocks, the new rules will all be studied for potential adoption in the major leagues.

The announcement comes on the heels of an offseason in which the league made a number of hires, including former Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein, in hopes of improving the sport's on-field product by increasing game action and speeding up pace of play.

Which of the new rules do we most look forward to seeing in action? Which of the new rules could we do without? Just how many of these rules could really be used in MLB some day? And when exactly should fans plan on seeing robot umps in action at major league stadiums? We asked ESPN MLB experts Bradford Doolittle, Jesse Rogers and David Schoenfield to weigh in on Thursday's announcement that could have major implications on the future of the sport.

Which experimental rule are you most intrigued by?

Doolittle: The infield positioning part is the one that I'll be watching, because you'll be able to see the effect in changes to balls-in-play rates. Of course, we also have to keep in mind that average on balls-in-play has less been an issue than the quantity of balls in play. The success rate will have to really go up in order for incentives to realign in a way that encourages hitters to return to more of a balanced, higher-contact approach.

Schoenfield: Is it a cop-out to say all of them? I agree with Brad that the infield positioning rule will be intriguing -- in Double-A, all four infielders will have to play on the dirt, although it doesn't expressly forbid shifting, say, three infielders to the right side of the infield for a left-handed batter (at least until the second half of the season, when MLB can enforce that two infielders must play on each side of second base).

But I think the most important rule is the pitch clock. We need to speed up the game. Go watch a video of an old World Series game from the 1970s. The game moves along at a much better pace because the pitchers are generally working much faster. The minor leagues have already used a pitch clock, so this is doubling down on a rule that has already worked. I think this rule will help hitters and cut down on strikeouts. Pitchers can't as easily throw a 97-mph fastball, walk around the mound for 25 seconds, take a deep breath or two, stare in for the sign and then 35 seconds later throw another 97-mph fastball. Let's get the pitch clock to the majors.

Rogers: I'm not so much intrigued by the infield positioning as much as I'm just in favor of it. I'm hoping it will have a dramatic impact on the game. When we start seeing smiles from left-handed hitters for the first time in years, we'll know it has made a difference.

Sure, a few pitchers will be hurt, but if the goal is more action, more baserunners and more scoring, without the ball leaving the yard, then banning the shift as it is now is the answer.

Which do you like least?

Doolittle: While I'm most interested in the infield alignment restrictions, I'm still not a fan of making that change. I feel like teams should align their defenses however they see fit, as they've always done. The way to encourage more contact hitting is to lessen the incentive to play for the home run, and deadening the ball is the best way to do that. Since we're getting a new ball this season, we might see some of that begin to happen, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Rogers: I don't hate any of them, but making the bases bigger? No, thanks. Enough with trying to legislate injuries out of the game. They're part of it. And at least banning shift would make the game look like it did for 100 years. Essentially shortening the distance between the bases is more drastic than anything else they might do.

Schoenfield: I don't like the idea of telling teams where they can position their fielders, but other sports have rules on where and how you can play defense, so this isn't an unprecedented thing. But I'm really against the idea of robot umpires -- even though I realize it's inevitable. The whole idea of the strike zone was never to have this "perfect" zone for balls and strikes. You merely need to create a way to keep the game moving and encourage batters to swing.

No pitcher -- not even Greg Maddux -- can throw a pitch to a precise spot with perfect execution pitch after pitch. No batter -- well, maybe Barry Bonds or Ted Williams -- can know exactly where a pitch is going to end up. So whether a pitcher gets the call on a pitch right on the edge or the batter gets the call is basically just luck in either direction. Plus, is the technology ready to handle the different strike zone between Jose Altuve versus Aaron Judge? Can it read the microscopic difference on whether the ball catches the corner? Be careful what you wish for here.

Which do you think we could actually see in MLB?

Rogers: There are a couple, at least. The modified alteration of the shift could make for a good compromise. Yes, you can have three or more infielders on one side of the diamond but they have to be on the dirt. And automated zones are a question of when not if.

Doolittle: My guess we'll eventually see all of them. MLB has a way of making sure its initiatives come to fruition, no matter what anybody else thinks.

Schoenfield: Yep, I think there is a good chance they all reach the majors within five years, maybe three. I like the idea of the bigger bases to help faster players. Maybe that will get more speed back into the game and action on the bases. Although I'm still blown away by the fact that I just learned that the bases aren't actually 90 feet apart. That's right, the distance from home plate to the edge of first base is currently 88 feet, 9 inches; in will move to 88 feet, 6 inches in the Triple-A experiment.

How much would banning or limiting shifts help hitters?

Doolittle: It's uncertain. The kind of hitters who can be successfully shifted aren't the kind of hitters who are going to start trying to go gap to gap, by and large, so this will help them. They are still trying to hit the ball over the fence, so it might not change the approach of many hitters. But clearly a pull hitter who hits the ball hard is going to get a few more singles.

Rogers: There's disagreement within the game on this. Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell doesn't think it's the big difference maker, but it's hard to predict how things would play out until we see it. Pitchers will potentially change their sequencing, while hitters might have a newfound confidence with effects that can't be quantified. I say it will help a lot.

Schoenfield: I think it will make a notable difference, especially helping left-handed hitters (against whom more shifts are deployed). The batting average on balls in play in 2020 was .292, the lowest since a .285 mark in 1992. (The BABIP suddenly went from .285 in 1992 to .294 in 1993 to .300 in 1994. That's another discussion, but the ball obviously changed in 1993, along with players using more PEDs.) Anyway, the BABIP was also .298 in 2019, not far off the historical norms of the past two decades. BUT ... what would it be without the shift? Players are generally hitting the ball harder these days (when they actually make contact), so who knows what will happen to BABIP if defensive alignments are limited.

When will we see an electronic strike zone implemented in the majors?

Doolittle: Would not be surprised to see it baked into the CBA and introduced by next season. I guess if there are major problems with the 2021 minor league implementation, that might push things back. But like it or not, this is not going away.

Rogers: I think after seeing it at all levels of the minors for a full season -- and working out the kinks there -- we'll get it in the majors. So perhaps by 2023 or '24.

Schoenfield: While I would prefer to see a rule more like tennis -- maybe a team gets three challenges per game on balls and strikes, to overrule the obvious bad calls -- I know that's not going to happen. I think 2022 is a little optimistic. I think we're still a few years away.

Tyra Gittens dominated the NCAA Heptathlon with a record-breaking performance

NCAA Championships Day One (Women’s events), Fayetteville, AR, March 11-13

Trinidadian Tyra Gittens smashed her PB and the Championships and her national record  to walk away with the Pentathlon title at the NCAA Championships on Thursday with a score of 4746 points.

The 22 year-old took 134 points off her previous best and her own National record and also removed 43 points off of Kendell Williams’ Collegiate and Championship mark of 4703 points set in 2016.

Gittens, competing for Texas A&M, started with a 8.27 60m hurdles which placed her second to Erin Marsh’s 8.13 but a world class 1.93m high jump moved her into a clear lead while a 13.86m shot stretched the advantage to a massive 277 points.
The long jump gave her her third win in a row as she again showed she could be challenging for a medal at least well into the second day at Tokyo with a 6.58m jump.

Her lead was now 544 points.

One area where there is huge room for improvement though is the 800m and there she lost 200 points on some of her challengers with a 2:28.22 clocking.

That time was still a PB for the distance, and it was sufficient for an overall huge PB and gave her victory by 375 points.

Her score moves her to third in the 2021 world rankings behind the Belgian pair who dominated the Europeans, Nafissatou Thiam (4904) and Noor Vidts (4791).

Anna Hall took the silver medal with a score of 4401 while Marsh won bronze with 4344 points.

Briton Alix Still finished 13th with 3904 points.

Makenli Forrest won the weight competition by just two centimetres with a 23.26m throw.
Britain’s Amy Herrington finished 15th with a throw of 20.17m.
