Nets finding scarce practice time in form of end-of-season games

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:52:21 GMT

The Nets are tending to their own backyard.While other NBA teams shut down starters in the final games of the regular season, the Nets ruled every player except Ben Simmons (nerve impingement, out for the season) available for Wednesday’s matchup against the Orlando Magic.The Nets entered the night one win away from securing the Eastern Conference’s sixth and final guaranteed playoff seed. A loss would make Sunday’s season finale against the Philadelphia 76ers a must-win to ward off the seventh-seeded Miami Heat and avoid falling into the Play-In Tournament.The Sixers, for example, rested their entire starting lineup Wednesday night against the Atlanta Hawks. The Miami Heat also rested their core rotation: Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Kyle Lowry, Tyler Herro, Kevin Love and Nikola Jovic all sat for the Heat against the Washington Wizards.“That’s why you water your own lawn, bro. I am concerned only about what’s gonna be beneficial for this group, an...

Celtics’ Joe Mazzulla remembers late West Virginia coach Billy Hahn

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:52:21 GMT

Joe Mazzulla could always count on Billy Hahn – whether it was at West Virginia as a player under him or as he embarked on a coaching career after – and there were so many messages that were instilled as he ultimately became the head coach of the Celtics.“A lot that I probably can’t repeat,” Mazzulla said.But they will certainly carry on. Hahn – a college basketball coach for more than 40 years, including 11 seasons as an assistant on Bob Huggins’ staff at West Virginia – died on Friday at 69, his family confirmed. Mazzulla played for Hahn with the Mountaineers from 2006-11 – which included an appearance in the 2010 Final Four – and his impact on the former point guard turned NBA head coach was long-lasting.“He was great,” Mazzulla said before the Celtics played the Raptors on Friday. “I had him for four years in college. And he was just a guy that brought a level of energy and mindset, the entire time no matter what was going on. He was a player’s coach. He was there fo...

David Griffin on Zion Williamson’s potential playoff availability: ‘We may never get to that point either’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:52:21 GMT

It’s the time of year to sit out games. We have the tankers and relaxers.The Knicks fit in the latter category after clinching the fifth seed, which prompted them to sit three regular starters Friday night — Jalen Brunson, Mitchell Robinson and RJ Barrett — while Julius Randle remained inactive because of a sprained ankle.But their opponent in New Orleans, the Pelicans, had everything to play for. And with a familiar name on their DNP list.Zion Williamson, once touted as the next generation’s NBA megastar, was ruled out for the play-in tournament by Pelicans vice president David Griffin, who still hasn’t provided anything concrete about a possible return date.Even if the Pelicans, who entered Friday night as the eighth seed, advance to the playoffs, it sounds iffy, at best, for Williamson’s availability.“Our best possible outcome would be if everything lined up perfectly, maybe you’re in a position to practice prior to a first-round se...

Marcus Stroman dominates the Texas Rangers in a 2-0 Chicago Cubs win: ‘If you give me more confidence, that’s a scary sight’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:52:21 GMT

David Ross talked about what he called “the Twitter machine” before Friday’s game against the Texas Rangers at Wrigley Field, noting he’s not a frequent visitor to the app.“I go on Twitter every once in a while,” the Chicago Cubs manager said. “Just not on me. I try to stay out of (things). I’m not Googling myself and seeing all the awesome things people are saying about me.”The 2023 season marks a turning point in Ross’s career as Cubs manager. He’s being judged by a higher standard and saw the first real volley of criticism aimed in his direction last week after a failed bunt attempt by Patrick Wisdom in a loss to the Cincinnati Reds. It was mild but jarring coming so early in the season.Ross said he welcomes the criticism, and as a former analyst with ESPN he understands the game relies on fan debate, much of which the media fuels. He’s not averse to taking risks, no matter the potential for Twitter abuse.Ros...

Steve Cohen on Mets’ early struggles: ‘It’s foolish to make conclusions in such a short period…’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:52:21 GMT

Steve Cohen has a message for the fans who are worried about the Mets after the first seven games of the season: It’s too early to panic. The club’s owner held court in the Mets’ dugout Friday morning ahead of the 2023 home opener. He touched on a number of subjects regarding the club and its future.While some owners are content to stay out of sight and out of the line of fire from the fans, Cohen still likes to think of himself as one of them. After all, the Mets were his favorite childhood team. He sat with the 7 Line Army in Miami during the Amazin’s Opening Day win and he interacts with them on Twitter.Cohen is listening to the fans, and while he thinks the concerns over the 4-4 start to the season are valid, they’re a bit premature.“I see it the same way like in my own business and a hedge fund business,” Cohen said. “I’ll have a bad week. That doesn’t define my year, it doesn’t define my month. And so it’s...
