Montag, 20. April 2015 0 Kommentare

Chelsea have one hand on the Premier League title after Eden Hazard fired them to a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea edge closer to the Premier League title with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United. Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says he's pleased that his side dominated the match despite their loss against Chelsea. Former Chelsea man Craig Burley breaks down how Jose Mourinho was content to sit back and let United play while still picking up all three points. ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE: Eden Hazard (54') Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United With his extreme excess of wire-wool afro hair and signature monobrow combo, you could be forgiven that Manchester United's big-lump-in-chief Marouane Fellaini has cultivated something of a unique look over the years. However, it just so happens that the United midfielder's brother, Mansour, is the absolute spitting image of his twin sibling -- a genetic quirk that led to mass confusion in the Chelsea camp just a few short hours before Saturday's Premier League clash between the two sides. With Manchester...

Gregg Popovich Trolls Media After Game 1 Loss to the Clippers

0 Kommentare

Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs dropped Game 1 of their first round series to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night, 107-92. After the game, Coach Pop was his usual sunny self as he gave reporters the most trite and obvious answers he could [barely] think of. How much did DeAndre Jordan affect things? A lot. Does he think of things? He does. Does his team need to be better to win the next game? Yes.

It was classic Pop. If you like him, it’s great. If you aren’t a fan of his dismissal of the media, then he’s a jerk.

Blake Griffin Dunked on Aron Baynes Twice, Clippers Roll Spurs

0 Kommentare

Blake Griffin threw down two electrifying dunks Sunday night – both in the face of San Antonio’s Aron Baynes – and the Clippers easily handled the Spurs, 107-92 in game one of their first round series. Griffin scored 26 points and took 12 rebounds; Chris Paul tallied a game-high 32 points. The Clippers grabbed a double-digit 1st quarter lead and were never seriously threatened.

Blake Griffin in slow-motion is art.

As expected, home court advantage mattered all weekend – seven of the eight home teams won, with only Washington winning in Toronto. Sunday’s games were mostly blowouts – the only single-digit game was Atlanta 99, Brooklyn 92.
