Refuse Facism, a group who describe the Trump/Pence regime as a “catastrophic danger to humanity and the planet” have organized nationwide rallies for Monday, 21 September in response to the U.S having the highest coronavirus death count in the world. As of Monday morning, Johns Hopkins University places the death toll in the U.S. at 199,512. The group accuses Trump of having “deliberately deceived the world about the danger of the virus” after he was recorded on tape by Watergate journalist Bob Woodward saying how he “wanted to always play it down” when asked about what he knew about the potential danger of the fatal virus....

During World War Two, Freidrich Karl Berger had been an armed guard at the Neuengamme Concentration Camp system. He had been living in Tennessee after coming to the U.S. in 1959 but an immigration judge ordered his removal in February 2020, the Agence France Presse reported. The decision followed a joint investigation which involved the Department of Justice’s Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section. The presiding immigration judge in his trial in Memphis, Tennessee, said he had been stationed near Meppen, Germany where prisoners were held in “atrocious” conditions and worked “to the point of exhaustion and death....

Kuzma was quickly traded to the Lakers as part of the deal that took D’Angelo Russell to Brooklyn. And after impressing during the Summer League, Kuzma quickly found himself in the Lakers rotation. During his debut season, Kuzma was the best performing member of the team’s much talked about young core, finishing his rookie year averaging 16.1 points per game. Due to his rapid impact, Kuzma was expected to become a vital player alongside LeBron James, although he has failed to build on his excellent first season....

Every team in the Western Conference is shaping its squad thinking of stopping the Warriors, which would not be an easy task. OKC was one of two teams in the west closer to eliminate Golden State in the playoffs when they had a 3-1 lead in the 2016 WCF with Durant on their squad, but they could not close them out. There is something about this fixture that gets the fans and media crazy....

It was the worst loss in the franchise history for the Chicago Bulls as Boston Celtics crushed them by a margin of 56 points.

You will hear all the time about how weak the Eastern Conference is and how it is nothing compared to the West. The polarization of the two conferences has been overblown, and it has taken away from the talent that is present in the East. There have been many changes to the East. Coaching changes, injured players returning to their teams, and the younger players having more experience will all contribute to different conference standings than last year....

Match Details When: March 2nd, 9 pm ET Where: Talking Stick Resort Arena Watch: Spectrum Sportsnet The Los Angeles Lakers’ Perspective The LeBron James led Lakers have failed to meet the expectations this year and their recent run of form sums up their entire season. They have won only 2 out of their last 5 games with impressive wins over the Rockets and Pelicans but lost to a team like Memphis which looks like it’s tanking....

Preseason in the NBA can be misleading. Success or failure here isn’t always a good predictor of what will happen in the regular season. Minutes are distributed differently than they will be when the games count and coaches feel empowered to experiment with their lineups in order to gauge who fits best against specific opponents. Luke Walton certainly used the opportunity to the fullest, and our first glimpse at the new-look Lakers did provide plenty to take away:...

The Golden State Warriors no longer reign supreme in the league, the Brooklyn Nets will soon be a force to be reckoned with and the Utah Jazz look, on paper, like a Conference Final contender. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers have finally secured a second All-Star to play alongside LeBron James and the Philadelphia 76ers can now legitimately claim to have one of the best defenses in the league....

MORE: Cavs vs. Warriors highlights, analysis & more On the first play, Durant fouled James, leading the Cavs star to lose control of the ball and fall out of bounds.

UPDATE: The NBA confirmed Tuesday evening in its last-two-minutes report that Durant did indeed foul James three times in the game’s closing seconds....

In an afternoon win over the Wizards, Tatum erupted for 51 points, shooting 18-for-28 from the field, 9-for-14 from 3-point range and a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line. Tatum’s nine 3s are a new career-best, surpassing the mark of seven he set earlier in the season. Making this performance so impressive is just how poorly Tatum had been shooting this season but, more specifically, in the past week....

The 2018-19 NBA season saw him start 72 games, out of which 56 were won and 16 lost. He had 54 double-doubles and five triple-doubles, dominating both the ends of the floor.

The Nationals’ left fielder played his first game as a visitor at Wrigley Field on Monday night. Former Cubs teammate Kris Bryant saw that as the perfect opportunity to leave him a gift on the field between innings. Yes, Bryant left Schwarber a pile of candy in left field where both started for their respective teams. Schwarber certainly appreciated the gesture and broke into the candy right away. “I definitely ate a Twix out there on the field,” Schwarber said, per NBC Sports Chicago’s Tim Stebbins....

The Nationals’ slugger has hit 15 home runs through the first 28 days of June. Even more impressively, all 15 of those homers have come in his last 17 games. Sammy Sosa (1998) and Barry Bonds (2001) are the only other players to hit 15 homers in a 17-game span. But Schwarber isn’t paying any attention to the numbers. At least he’s trying to ignore them. “To be honest with you, I want to play stupid,” Schwarber said, per MLB....

Reporters waited on bated breath for his words following his session and he made every single human being in Washington D.C. happy with his proclamation. “I’m good,” he said. Joe Ross took Scherzer’s place in the rotation for Game 5 after the righty woke up Sunday with severe pain in his neck. It was so bad his wife had to help him put his shirt on. Ross performed admirably but gave up two 2-run homers to Astros batters and the Nationals ultimately lost the game 7-1 and went down 3-2 in the series....
