The Thunder are on a six-game winning streak and all of a sudden things look rather rosy. The Big Three are making buckets and their kiwi centre is getting it done all over the court. So take that, Jonas Valanciunas.
Merry Christmas, season’s greetings, feliz navidad and all that. Time for some holiday NFL! First we’ve got a couple games on Xmas Eve followed by a bunch on Christmas Day itself and then a pair on Boxing Day to close out the week. She’s all go, amigo.
Grab a curry and enjoy some NBA hot takes about San Antonio Spurs, Donovan Mitchell and the two leading MVP candidates.
Featuring one of the most entertaining games of the season, highlighted by Steven Adams guarding up against larger than life Joel Embiid, aka The Process... and also a blowout win and a couple concussion related DNPs.
We know Sean Marks is a reppin' Aotearoa to the fullest with his GM skills, now he's on full Weka level.
At least if you do have to play in conditions reminiscent of those north of The Wall on Game of Thrones then you can do a lot worse than lean on LeSean McCoy.
After a brief lapse in Mexico City against the Brooklyn Nets, it was more of the same heroic Steven Adams from last week, scoring for fun and doing just enough to cover up the trash the Russ/PG/Melo trio served up.
Just like the Hydro Grand Hotel in Timaru, Los Angeles Clippers have to bust it down and gets to re-building.
Case Keenum, let me remind you, won two games in ten starts with the Texans (11 TD / 8 INT) and then won seven games in 14 starts with the Rams (13 TD / 12 INT). He’s now won eight from ten starts with the Vikings. Quite the reinvention, ain’t he?
Once again, just as this team seems to hit its new rock bottom they then whip out a fantastic win to shut everyone up, this time with a Steven Adams performance for the ages. A new career-best scoring mark, achieved with perfect efficiency. Dude didn’t even miss a shot.
The Breakers may have been underestimated at the start of the campaign and they may even have dropped a silly one to Cairns in their season opener but it takes a certain type of team to be able to rip off nine in a row after that.
You though the Giants couldn’t sink any lower? You thought that Ben McAdoo would be the obvious scapegoat for all this? You thought that legacies meant something in the NFL, that two Super Bowl rings earn you a little job security?
