Wednesday was an all-around bad night for NBA MVP candidate Russell Westbrook.

The Thunder guard received a technical foul for hitting a referee in the head with the ball, he made just 10 of 31 shots in a loss to the Hornets, and he got into it with a reporter after the game. Westbrook was asked about the overhand throw that hit an unsuspecting Tre Maddox in the head, a throw Westbrook maintained was unintentional.

Butler entered Monday night’s marquee matchup with Russell Westbrook and the Thunder with a questionable tag due to an illness. He’s already been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Wizards and probably should have sat out Monday’s game. Butler finished with just one point on 0-of-6 shooting with seven assists and two rebounds in 29 minutes while Westbrook stole the show once again.

The Thunder MVP candidate scored 21 points, grabbed nine rebounds and dished out 14 assists in the 109-94 win over the Bulls. It’s the fourth time this season Westbrook has been one point, rebound or assist shy of a triple-double.

Pelicans All-Star Anthony Davis had 40 points and 18 rebounds despite not even playing the fourth quarter against the Knicks due to a hip injury after taking a hard foul late in the third. It’s the fifth time this season Davis has scored at least 40 points, the second-most in the NBA.

Cavaliers (28-8) at Jazz (23-16), 9 p.m. ET — Utah will look to slow down LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and the Cavs using their strong defense and slow pace. The Jazz will have another Cleveland element NHL Jerseys Cheap to slow down as sharpshooter Kyle Korver is hopeful to be able to make his Cavs’ debut on Tuesday New York Jets Cheap Jerseys following a trade from Atlanta.

The Isaiah Thomas-Dennis Schroder feud is officially over — at least as far as Thomas is concerned.

The Celtics point guard responded to Schroder’s claim that Thomas cursed at his mother during the Celtics’ 103-101 victory over the Hawks on Friday night. Thomas yelled to the crowd that Schroder “ain’t nothing,” per Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta-Journal Constitution, but Schroder felt Thomas’ trash talk crossed a line.

The Wizards as a team were peeved at the Celts’ style. Otto Porter Jr. straight-up called them “dirty.” Wiz coach Scott Brooks complained, too:

Smart and Wizards guard Bradley Beal clashed during the game, and Beal was hit with a technical foul. Last season, Beal suffered a broken nose and a concussion after being hit by a Smart forearm.

“We knew it was going to be a physical game. That’s all it was: Just a little trash-talking and a physical game,” Wall told reporters, per ESPN.com.

To ensure that’s all it was, Boston police were assigned to stand between the locker rooms at TD Garden to make sure nothing else happened, per ESPN.com.

Crowder, who jawed at former Wizards coach Randy Wittman last season, wasn’t about to review what happened.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I ain’t got no comment about that,” he said, per ESPN.com. “You want to talk about the game? Anyone want to talk about the game?”

Guys, leave the hand-throwing to Floyd Mayweather Jr., who was ringside, er, courtside Rg3 Cheap Jerseys for the game and got Isaiah Thomas’ game jersey as a gift.

“Nobody’s built [to fight] but the guy that was in the front row,'” Thomas Order Cheap Jerseys Online said, per ESPN.com. “So just keep it hoop and move onto the next one.”

The Timberwolves are shopping point guard Ricky Rubio with Shabazz Muhammad to several teams. Minnesota is seeking a “bridge” guard in return who will eventually slide into a backup role behind rookie Kris Dunn.

DETAILS: The Kings reportedly have “strong interest” in a trade for Rubio, who is making $13.5 million for this season and will be owed $29 million through 2019. Minnesota, however, is looking for a better deal than what the Kings are offering.

With that being said, Jackson has enjoyed far greater production recently after averaging 18.8 points and 6.2 assists per game last season while leading Detroit back to the postseason.

Rubio, on the other hand, is averaging just 7.7 points and 7.9 assists this season. He has been in and out of the starting lineup with highly-touted rookie Kris Dunn waiting for a consistent opportunity.

Rubio has been playing better lately, posting a double-double in four of his last six games. Though he is considered a pass-first point guard, Rubio would be asked to provide some scoring in Detroit’s balanced lineup.

For that reason alone, this doesn’t seem like a good trade for Detroit. Jackson may be coming off a couple of injuries that cost him 21 games to start the season, but he is currently averaging 16.7 points per game. The Pistons can ill-afford to lose that scoring right now.

The move also makes little sense for Minnesota, who assumedly want to start Dunn sooner than later. Taking on Jackson’s salary would prohibit that, unless they moved Jackson again right away.

Crazier trades have happened, but this one smells a bit of desperation from Trade Cheap Jerseys two Rugby Cheap Jerseys teams struggling to remain relevant in their respective conferences.

As the Nets have been slowly piecing together their franchise rebuild, hamstrung by the team’s 2013 draft-pick giveaway, they’ve sought to find talent wherever it’s available, even if that leads to redundancy on the roster.

That would appear to be the case at point guard, where the Nets traded for D’Angelo Russell this summer despite still having Jeremy Lin on hand.

Houston was led by James Harden’s 41 points, eight rebounds and eight assists.

It was Harden’s seventh 40-point game of the season, tying him with Russell Westbrook for most in the NBA.

Harden (33) also passed Hakeem Olajuwon (32) for most 40-point games in Rockets franchise history, yet it was not enough to beat the Hawks.

Wizards point guard John Wall exploded for 33 points with 11 assists in a 116-108 win over the Lakers. Wall has now recorded a double-double in three straight games, and has led Washington to wins in 13 of its last 15 contests.

This was also the Wizards’ 16th straight home win, which is the second-longest home winning streak in franchise history (won 22 straight in 1974-75).

76ers: Just when it looked like the young team was going to take its biggest step yet toward becoming an actual threat, they faltered late against the Spurs to lose 102-86 on the road. Philadelphia led by five points at halftime, but was outscored by double-figures in each of the last two quarters.

Grizzlies (30-21) at Thunder (28-22), 8 p.m. ET — Memphis is led by Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping underrated center Marc Gasol and point guard Mike Conley Jr. The Grizzlies will have to try Cheap Nike Jerseys and slow down Russell Westbrook and Victor Oladipo in a tough Western Conference battle.

Houston and New York were reportedly trying to get at least one other team, but probably two, to help get a trade done for Carmelo Anthony, and it is now reportedly known who they were trying to get to help them get that deal done.

The Trail Blazers were apparently one of those teams they were recruiting to take Melo off the Knicks’ hands. However, according to ESPN, the Trail Blazers now have no desire to help Melo make his way to Houston. They actually want him in Portland for themselves.

“I don’t know how or why but I am some sort of balloon prodigy, I can make literally anything out of balloons. Ridiculous giant balloon sculptures are great for parties, as a gift or just to leave on someone’s porch as a weird and confusing joke. I left a 5 foot T. rex in the first unlocked Cheap NBA Jerseys From China car I could find and I still laugh about it every day. I can deliver most sculptures by car but large structures like a castle or working balloon pub would need to be finished on site. Lifesized balloon sculptures take all day to make and can run into the thousands of dollars from party companies most of whom don’t offer anything so customizable to begin with. I am looking to trade for tools. I got bored with balloons and am moving on to make things out of wood.

I can also always use building materials and useful things to keep my shop Cheap Mls Jerseys running well or just anything very interesting. I am not looking for money, some people actually do this for a career and I don’t want to take a paying job from them.”

Let’s hope someone out there can help him out.

Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers is having one of the most entertaining summers in sports. His beef with the Ball family netted national attention and a $10,000 fine before he caught a souvenir at the MLB Home Run Derby.

Now the poster boy for “The Process” in Philly is tackling his “NBA 2K18″ rating, which is an unacceptable 86.

Embiid was told his rating after rattling off all the reasons he should have a 95 rating — a feat only accomplished by LeBron James on last year’s version of the popular video game.

However, if Embiid can stay healthy and improve upon his average of 20.2 points and 7.8 rebounds from 2016-17, a 90 rating shouldn’t be out of the question come next summer.

Minnesota did trade for Milicic, and he enjoyed his career year there (8.8 points, 5.2 rebounds per game in 2010-11).

His experience in Memphis didn’t go as well.

“The only thing I told my manager was I’ll go anywhere but Memphis. Just don’t send me to Memphis,” he said. “Of course I went to Memphis, where I went through two years of classic depression. I was just crossing the dates off the calendar because I couldn’t function anymore. Physically you’re there, but mentally you aren’t.”

It’s a sad tale of what might have been from the player who was drafted just behind LeBron James but ahead of perennial All-Stars such as Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and NFL Jerseys Nike Dwyane Wade.

“My experience in the NBA was a catastrophe, because I’m a born NFL Cheap Jerseys Wholesale winner,” Milicic said. “I don’t like losing, even in card games. That’s the Darko that came to the U.S., but after Detroit I spent time on teams that were classic gangs going from city to city and losing games, and sadly you kinda get used to that.”

Having the potential to get drafted in the NBA lottery has its benefits. Former Duke guard Luke Kennard reaped those benefits draft night.

The 6-foot-6 guard was ESPN Chad Ford’s No. 15 rated player coming into the draft, but he was the No. 1 player in the heart of one Savannah Chrisley, star of the reality show “Chrisley Knows Best,” a show that you really probably don’t care that much about.

But what you probably do care about is the fact that Chrisley used to date Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons. The operative phrase here is ‘used to.’

Now it’s Griffin’s turn to be on the receiving end of recruiting pitches. He opted out of his contract on Friday to become a free agent, according to The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Griffin had a player option worth more than $21 million with the Clippers next season, according to Hoops Hype, but he’ll be able to choose his next team as an unrestricted free agent.

He averaged 21.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game last season after missing more than a month midseason because of a knee injury. His suffered a season-ending Cheap Infant Jerseys toe injury in the first round of the NBA playoffs, which, it turned out, marked the possible end of the Clippers’ core of Griffin, Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan.

Dallas’ roster this season was full of players who went undrafted, from players with varying degrees of veteran status like Wesley Matthews, J.J. Barea and Seth Curry, to rookies like Ferrell, Finney-Smith and Iowa’s Jarrod Uthoff. The Mavericks also had undrafted players from previous draft classes who made their NBA debuts this season, including Nicolas Brussino (2015), Quinn Cook (’15) and Cheap Ireland Soccer Jerseys Jonathan Gibson (’10).

When it comes to exciting plays, it’s hard to beat an around-the-horn triple.

Thursday night, the Twins did baseball fandom a solid by pulling off this impressive feat against the Angels. For the casual fan, it made up for Albert Pujols not hitting his 600th homer (sorry, Angels fans).

The triple-killing was the standout highlight on a day of limited MLB action, but we’re back to a full slate of games Friday, starting with age-old Cubs-Cardinals rivalry at 2:20 p.m. ET. Other series of interest include Red Sox-Orioles, White Sox-Tigers and Astros-Rangers.

Keuchel, 29, has a 1.84 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and a 7-0 record this season. The Astros have gone 8-1 in his starts, including seven straight wins.

In Congaree National Park, just 18 miles south of Tebow’s spot in left field, a scintilla of hope still exists for the longest of long shots in the ornithological community. The Ivory-billed Woodpecker , a goliath of a winged creature nicknamed the Lord-God Bird because of its massive size ( as in Lord God, that is a big bird! ), is thought to be extinct — the last confirmed sighting was in Louisiana in 1944 — but rumors of its survival have persisted.

This is speculation, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility that Hosmer could return as a free agent this offseason. The Royals won’t offer the biggest contract, but if Hosmer finds the market for his services lower than he hoped for, maybe he opts to return to a franchise and fan base that loves him unconditionally at a lower salary than he could land elsewhere.

Tampa Bay has done stupid overspending on cash deals in the past, but addressing two key needs with a pair of former Redskins veterans was well done. Jackson is the home-run threat the team was lacking; he can take advantage of the attention paid to Mike Evans and Jameis Winston’s arm. Baker, a 3-4 end in Washington, will slide inside to help Gerald McCoy and complement returning run-stopping end William Gholston. Simple solutions came for reasonable money against the Bucs’ big cap space.

The Rays got some really good juju just in time to beat the Tigers on Wednesday.

To set the scene: Tampa Bay, down a run, loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the ninth against Detroit closer Francisco Rodriguez. Steven Souza Jr. had a chance to win, but struck out “swinging.”

Rays manager Kevin Cash raced out of the dugout, demanding to know why plate umpire Larry Vanover didn’t check with the first base umpire. Vanover, naturally, ejected the skipper.

The next batter, Logan Morrison, hit what looked like a sure double-play grounder to end the game. Except…

Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias tripped over the bag, stumbled, and then spiked his relay to first, which allowed the tying and winning runs to score. Rays 8, Tigers 7.

For good measure, Iglesias was hit in the face by the Cheap Custom NFL Jerseys knee of a sliding Brad Miller.

Rasheed Wallace was right: Ball don’t lie. Now we have the baseball version of that truism.

Like Baltimore, Green Bay is a team with a veteran general manager in Ted Thompson who got high marks for picking needs on defense. The team got potential starters Kevin King and Josh Jones with its first two picks. The key to this draft could be Vince Biegel, who could be the team’s future as Patriots Cheap Jerseys an edge rusher.

Houston’s grade is dependent on the opinion of the acquisition of quarterback Deshaun Watson. Those who thought Houston gave up too much for him knocked the grade. Those who liked it gave high marks.

Ultimately, all of the talk about big change for these superstars is going to come down to this: the Clippers’ best pathway towards building a contender is to re-sign these two and either build successfully around them, or have them as trade chips down the line. For Chris Paul, that’s what makes the decision so easy. But for Blake Griffin, who has had injury issues for years and has seemingly lost some athleticism, the Clippers front office will be a little less willing to pony up a max offer.

Still, they’ll ultimately accept that they have to. Chandler Parsons got a max deal last summer—and Blake Griffin is a better player with a less troubling injury history. There’s going to be max interest for Blake, but staying a Clipper both gives him more money and lets him stay in Los Angeles, where he has some other business ventures.

Redick has had a phenomenal four-year run with the Clippers, and I’ve loved watching him play, so this kills me—but he’s not going to be a Clipper next year. He’s slowed down on both ends of the floor, and while offensively that leaves him as just slightly less elite, his lack of size and athleticism on the defensive end was exposed more than ever this season, especially in the starting lineup alongside the diminutive Chris Paul.
