While Gonzalez pitched well in his final two starts of the regular season, we can’t say the same for Vogelsong, who lost his last three starts, allowing four runs in each. It’s not so much the runs and losses that are alarming, it’s who was tagging him. The Padres, who scored the fewest runs in all of baseball at only 3.3 per game, beat him twice in crucial games the Giants had to have for playoff positioning....

Lt. Col. Brian Fickel, a public affairs officer who’s currently a full-time student at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, on Monday took to Twitter to share screenshots of an image posted by three official DoD-affiliated Facebook pages. The image depicted Joachim Peiper, also known as Jochen Peiper, a convicted war criminal who was a senior Waffen-SS officer in World War II. “I saw the posts this evening when I was going through my personal Facebook,” Fickel told Newsweek on Monday evening....

When Russell Westbrook won the award in 2016-17, he became the first player to win the award on a team that has failed to win at least 50 regular-season games since 1982-83. Albeit there are a lot of MVPs who led their teams to championships, there are few legendary players who have been very unfortunate to miss out on a ring. Let us look at 5 MVPs who never won an NBA title....

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Sacramento Kings comfortably to end a busy night at the Staples Center which earlier hosted the contest between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Chicago Bulls, the former embarrassed the latter in front of their home crowd. Although a busy night at the Staples, it was by no means a busy night in the NBA with only 10 teams playing on Sunday night....

But nowadays, the big players usually take rest and prevent injuries by giving young guys a chance to showcase their talent. This gives the young players an opportunity to get attention and show what they are made off. This is the smartest choice as a player and I, as a fan, want my best player to be safe for the rest of the season. But because of this, we have missed quite a good amount of great dunkers who never participated in the dunk contest....

This match was again a close affair. But the Celtics pulled away in the final minutes to get the win. Hayward scored 25 points for the Celtics and Irving scored 23 points. With the win, the Celtics hang on to their fourth spot in the Eastern Conference playoff standings. They have a 47-32 record this season. The Heat have dropped out of the playoffs spot. They occupy the ninth place at the moment and are 0....

In this new age of superstars and super-teams, they are changing the narrative behind the new star Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek national has had the most consistent growth as a player since he was drafted by them. In the fifth year of his young NBA career, Giannis is making his mark on the game, leading the Milwaukee Bucks to a place they have not been in a long time. Last night with the win against the Los Angeles Lakers, his Bucks clinched their playoff berth....

Much of that has to do with other countries moving further along their basketball trajectories, but a lot of this can also be attributed to the number of foreign-born basketball players currently enrolled in the US education system and playing high school and college basketball from their teenage years. The following is a list of the top 10 international players in the NBA today: #10 Goran Dragic Prior to February this year, Dragic was part of a list of players who’ve been named to an All-NBA team in their careers, but not to the All Star Game....

Every year, there are a handful of star players that set themselves above the play of everyone else. In this era of the NBA, the usual suspects to be named the MVP are LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephon Curry, Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Only two of these individuals should be considered as the 2019 NBA MVP. LeBron James had injury troubles and when he returned could not lead the Lakers into the playoffs....

With a back-to-back game this week against 2 Western Conference teams, there was not much hope for Bradley Beal to play in either game. He remained out on the sidelines, as the already depleted Wizards looked to fight on. And tonight, they did so, as the Nuggets could not beat out the Wizards up against strong performances from several players. Of course it being the Wizards, you never know what games they will lose or win....

Champagne sprayed into the air and dripped from the ceiling of their locker room at Madison Square Garden, and except for Mario Elie complaining that it wasn’t his brand of choice, the Spurs were acting like a dozen guys who had just bounce-passed their way to nirvana. The bubbly was streaming, creating a real mess, but nobody cared. With a 15-2 record in the postseason and a just-completed ouster of the Knicks in five games of the NBA Finals, the Spurs had done plenty of mopping up....
