The Pistons guard finished with 21 points, helping wipe out a 16-point fourth quarter deficit and moving his eighth-seeded team further away from the Eastern Conference¡¯s bottom half. Detroit was outscored by 25 with lineups on the floor that included either Reggie Jackson or Jon Leuer, but their bench combined for 58 points headlined by Tobias Harris¡¯ 24 points on 9-of-13 shooting from the field.

Detroit overcame a Raptors team led by All-Star starter DeMar DeRozan, who poured on 26 points on 10-of-21 shooting. But Kyle Lowry only contributed 15 points, and Jakob Poeltl, who started at the power forward, scored just five points.

Detroit (26-29) is now tied with Chicago for the East¡¯s seventh seed and is just 3.5 games behind the Indiana Pacers, who have lost their last three games.

Pelicans guard Tyreke Evans will sit out Wednesday’s home matchup against the Utah Jazz with a left ankle sprain, his first missed game outside of planned rest since returning from an 11-month absence in mid-December.

In a Tuesday interview with SportsCenter, Warriors star Kevin Durant referred to the season-long storyline pitting him against former teammate Russell Westbrook as “fake drama.”

“I was doing an interview with someone and I used the word ‘unselfish’ to describe my teammates here [with] the Warriors and someone asked Russell the question, asked if he heard what I said about being unselfish and he phrased the question as if I was saying that the Thunder and the organization and the team was selfish. And once I heard that, I was like, ‘They are trying to get in between this thing and make it bigger than what it is.’

Elite Womens Justin Verlander Jersey “Obviously Russell wasn’t going to hear that [full] interview I had about me just talking about my teammates I have now and someone in Oklahoma City phrased it to him as if I was calling them selfish.

Tom Brady has been a crunch-time magician since college

As a part-time (and eventual full-time) starter at Michigan, Tom Brady earned the nickname “Comeback Kid,” a handle he’s both outgrown and maintained all the way through his fifth Super Bowl title, the most unbelievable comeback (and/or collapse) in football history. In 1999, Brady helped lead four Michigan comeback wins of varying difficulty, including over Alabama in the first-ever overtime BCS bowl after falling behind both 14-0 and 28-14.

That’s continued, obnoxiously. The top five close-game (touchdown or less) NFL career win percentages by QBs with multiple Super Bowl rings, via an excellent post by Sports on Earth’s Matt Brown:

My colleagues Bud Elliott and Bill Connelly often discuss the theory that close games in football are basically coin flips, except when teams have exceptional talent at head coach, quarterback, or kicker. Then, it’s similar to the difference that a top bullpen can make in a close baseball game. The Patriots have the best-ever head coach, probably the best-ever quarterback, and haven’t exactly been hurting at kicker, either. And at Michigan, the Wolverines evidently had a better QB than anybody on earth realized at the time.

Since leaving Michigan, Brady has repeatedly praised his alma mater and showed his face in Ann Arbor, including at one of Jim Harbaugh’s big recruiting productions. He ended his Super Bowl MVP presser, which furthered the Wolverines’ all-time lead in those particular trophies, with a “Go Blue.”

The Falcons received a second chance to kick an extra point after Matt Ryan’s 19-yard touchdown pass to tight end Austin Hooper

Many put Jones’ tenure in categories that include Johnson and don’t include Johnson, but he does not apologize for the structure by which he runs the Cowboys.

“I’ve always believed that that gives us, [it] did then, [it] did when we first bought the team, and in my mind [it] does now, allows us to make the kind of decisions that we made early on. It allowed us to make those crisp, clean, fast, aggressively, passionately, it allowed us to do better than the traditional way these clubs are set up as far as I’m concerned,” Jones said. “There’s no question that structure helped us early. I think it just hasn’t dominoed for us relative to getting some more Super Bowl wins, but I think it’s been a continued plus on making decisions regarding football.”

Limited Kids Phoenix Suns Jersey Over the years, Jones has admitted mistakes. He regretted not maintaining a relationship with Johnson, who was a teammate on that bus when Jones was reading about Modell. Jones regretted firing coach Chan Gailey after only two seasons. The owner/GM has made mistakes in personnel, from not selecting Randy Moss in the first round in 1998, to signing Greg Hardy as a free agent two years ago. The Super Bowl drought bothers him.

“I have a high tolerance for ambiguity,” Jones said. “I don’t have to know what is going to happen on Friday every week. I may operate better by not knowing. A Mississippi riverboat gambler may be at his charming best when the next card may get him thrown off the boat. That’s when he operates the best.”

Call No. 2: The Falcons received a second chance to kick an extra point after Matt Ryan’s 19-yard touchdown pass to tight end Austin Hooper. Patriots linebacker Shea McClellin, who was trying to time his leap to block the kick, was penalized for an illegal formation. McClellin was ruled to have been lined up over long-snapper Josh Harris on the line of scrimmage at the snap. But replays revealed that McClellin actually was in between the long-snapper and guard Chris Chester. Place-kicker Matt Bryant aborted the kick. NFL rules call for an illegal formation penalty if the player is not fully outside of the long-snapper’s shoulders. Patriots coach Bill Belichick was livid, and actually showed the officiating crew photographs of the play shortly afterwards.

Ranadive, however, was told by league confidants that Joerger’s relationship with the Grizzlies was on the rocks

Limited Womens Robert Mathis Jersey “I was not in a great place last year,” Joerger says now. “I know I’ve made mistakes. I put a lot of pressure on myself in Memphis. I felt an obligation to the organization, to the community. Love that community. Love those players. We had been successful. So you don’t want to be the guy who comes in after a Western Conference finals appearance and messes up. You know what I mean? So we had this torch of success going forward and then with the mindset of, ‘This is our window. We’re in our window.’ These guys were in their prime and I put a lot of pressure on myself … That’s when I got a little twisted. I wasn’t in a great place personally.”

At his news conference after the injury-ravaged Grizzlies were eliminated from the playoffs, Joerger fought back tears as he lauded the team’s resilience.

Divac, sources say, had been contemplating candidates such as Nate McMillan, Jeff Hornacek, Vinny Del Negro, Mark Jackson and Patrick Ewing to take over head-coaching duties. Ranadive, however, was told by league confidants that Joerger’s relationship with the Grizzlies was on the rocks. Though it proved unnecessary once the Grizzlies let the coach walk, the Kings owner was prepared to offer cash compensation and a draft pick for Joerger, despite the fact that neither Ranadive nor Divac had met Joerger personally. Though the 24 hours between Joerger’s firing and a face-to-face interview were tense, the two sides ultimately agreed on a four-year, $16 million contract, with the final season a team option.

The Falcons established a first in starting four rookies on defense in the NFC Championship Game with Jones

Akeem Spence Authentic Jersey Falcons: The Falcons established a first in starting four rookies on defense in the NFC Championship Game with Jones, Neal, linebacker De’Vondre Campbell and nickelback Brian Poole. If the lineup remains the same Feb. 5, it will mark the first time that has occurred in a Super Bowl. All four have been key to the team’s resurgence, with Neal (first round), Jones (second) and Campbell (fourth) being draft picks and Poole an undrafted player. The Falcons also start three second-year players on defense in Beasley, Collins and nose tackle Grady Jarrett.

The Patriots started the year without Tom Brady, going 3-1 ATS without their star quarterback. They were even 8.5-point underdogs in their season opener on the road against the Arizona Cardinals, a game they won 23-21. Once Brady came back, New England was never an underdog again. They went 12-2 ATS with Brady, including a cover in each of their last seven games. The Patriots covered a 15.5-point spread against the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round, the largest spread in a playoff game in 18 years. While this has been the best season New England has had against the spread in the Brady/Belichick era, the winning ATS record is nothing new. Since Brady became the starting quarterback in 2001, the Patriots have covered 59 percent of their games, by far the best mark in the NFL over that span.

“Everybody” is right. Eleven of Irving’s 14 assists went to someone other than James, as he found Channing Frye for four buckets, Tristan Thompson for four and Kyle Korver, Richard Jefferson and Iman Shumpert one time apiece.

Meanwhile, James was his normal excellent self, scoring 27 points on 11-for-14 shooting to go with eight rebounds, two steals, a block and 12 assists, making him and Irving the first pair of teammates in the league in the past two seasons to both go for 12-plus assists in the same game, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. They made everyone look good, with Korver going off for his highest-scoring game as a Cav (20 points), Thompson coming one shy of his season high (18) and Frye being three points off his season high (18).

The most concerning Quinn decision in recent memory came last season

Quinn is still a relative unknown in terms of how he handles in-game decision-making, if only because the former Seahawks defensive coordinator hasn’t really faced many critical game-management situations during his two years as coach. His game against the Seahawks last week was out of hand by the middle of the third quarter, in part because opposite number Carroll made mistakes of his own.

Quinn’s mostly empty slate is preferable to the obvious, glaring mistakes McCarthy has made during his run in charge of the Packers.

The most concerning Quinn decision in recent memory came last season. Down 17-13 to the 49ers and facing a fourth-and-1 on the San Francisco 4-yard line with three minutes to go, Quinn bizarrely chose to kick a field goal and try to regain possession instead of attempting to convert for a first down against one of the league’s worst defenses. His Falcons never got the ball back and lost.

Quinn suggested after the game that he thought his defense was capable of forcing a three-and-out to return the ball to his offense, but even if he had the ’85 Bears, the numbers were strongly in favor of going for it. NumberFire suggested Quinn’s decision reduced Atlanta’s win expectancy by 37.3 percent even after the field goal was made, dropping them from a 50.7 percent favorite to a 13.4 percent underdog.

This season, with the league’s best offense, Quinn has rightfully been more aggressive. Atlanta went for it 13 times on fourth down while the game was within 14 points or less, tied for the eighth-most times in the league.

He notably went for it on fourth-and-1 on Atlanta’s 45-yard line on the opening possession of overtime against San Diego, only to be stuffed and end up losing the game on the next drive. It was the correct call, even if the move didn’t pay off.

NFL fans in England don¡¯t want the Jaguars anyway

London’s Evening Standard reported Friday that Jaguars owner Shahid Khan was considering selling his current English soccer club, Fulham, to buy Tottenham in part to move the Jaguars, the NFL team he owns, to London on a full-time basis.
Game Youth Terrelle Pryor Jersey
That followed news earlier this week that the new Tottenham Hotspurs stadium in North London will host two NFL games a year. Jacksonville already plays one home game a year in London, and has anchored the league’s marketing efforts in the UK.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are not moving to London. Even if they were thinking about it, they definitely shouldn’t.

Last November, I traveled to the NFL’s International Series at London’s Wembley Stadium to watch the Jags “host” Dallas. At first glance the addition of Tottenham’s North London location to the mix seems ideal to expand the International Series without relocating a franchise. Multiple locations in London’s sprawling geography allow for better accessibility. Tottenham isn’t next to Big Ben, but it’s much more centrally located than Wembley, which is far, far flung from the city’s center. It’s like Levi’s Stadium or Gillette Stadium.

Bryant’s deal came just minutes before Demaryius Thomas signed an almost identical deal with the Denver Broncos. Thomas, who was also a franchise-tagged player, wound up signing a five-year, $70 million extension with $43.5 million guaranteed. It was an interesting turn of events, given the fact that the Broncos and Cowboys were both targeted by the NFL Players Association with claims of collusion on the contracts of Bryant and Thomas.

Jerry Jones said there was no collusion in any way with the Broncos, according to Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas. It’s unclear if the concerns will be raised by the NFLPA going forward, given that Bryant and Thomas got deals within their market value.

Demolition by Warriors leaves Cavs piecing it back together

If the NBA has taught us anything in the past year, it is that nothing is a sure bet in the association.

It was 364 days ago that the Golden State Warriors took it to the Cleveland Cavaliers, blowing them out by 34 points on Jan. 18, 2016, on their home court to drop the Cavs’ record to 28-11 and push their mark to 38-4.

On Monday, Jan. 16, 2017, the Dubs blasted the Cavs by 35 at Oracle Arena, with the 126-91 win putting Cleveland at 29-11 and boosting the Warriors’ record to 35-6.

Of course, between those two games, the Cavs fired their coach, David Blatt, and hired Tyronn Lue. They traded for Channing Frye and started the playoffs 10-0, yet fell down 3-1 in the NBA Finals against a Warriors team led by Stephen Curry, who was anointed the first unanimous MVP in league history yet was hampered by a leg injury. From there, the Cavs saw Draymond Green get suspended, Andrew Bogut be sidelined with a knee injury and Andre Iguodala’s back seize up. Then the Cavaliers completed the most dramatic comeback in NBA championship history to win it all in Game 7.

Yes, that 34-point loss was an agent of change that set many of those events in motion, but it hardly controlled the hands of fate when it came to Cleveland’s winning Games 5, 6 and 7.

There were a couple of games where I did shoot the ball pretty well.

Eli Manning denies wanting to become top-paid player in the NFL

Authentic Allen Hurns Jersey
For months now, Eli Manning and the New York Giants have been going back and forth on a potential contract extension with little progress being made. The reason for the impasse could be because the two-time Super Bowl champion is looking to become the highest-paid player in the NFL. That desire has created a “significant gap” between the two sides, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.

Manning, though, vehemently denied the reports that he’s looking for the league’s biggest deal.

“The reports are all wrong,” he told the New York Daily News Wednesday. “I don’t know where they’re getting their information from. So I just kind of laugh at it.”

Manning’s current deal — the six-year, $97.5 million one he signed in August 2009 — expires following the 2015 season, which means the quarterback is only under contract for one more year. This season Manning will earn a base salary of $17 million. To become the highest-paid player in the league that amount would have to jump past $22 million, which is about how much Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers earns per year.

Manning is also looking for more than $60 million in guaranteed money, according to the New York Daily News. That number would be less than the $65 million guaranteed that Philip Rivers just got — now the highest number in the league — but right in line with Russell Wilson ($61.5 mil), Colin Kaepernick ($61 mil) and Cam Newton ($60 mil).

If he were to sign a new deal, Manning would become the latest in a long line of major extensions for quarterbacks this offseason, a list that includes Wilson, Newton, Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger and Ryan Tannehill.
