Following the C’s 117-108 win, Wizards point guard John Wall and Celtics forward Jae Crowder exchanged words on the court, and then things got a little more physical. A few Celtics came to the defense of Crowder, none of them more heated than guard Marcus Smart. Marcus Smart in a post-game scrum with about half the #Wizards players.

How Patriots Are Blocking Out Hype Ahead Of Playoff Vs. Underdog Texans
by Zack Cox on Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 5:36PM 2,035 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Three of this weekend’s divisional-round playoff games should be hotly contested affairs. The New England Patriots are playing in the fourth. The Patriots enter Saturday night’s matchup with the Houston Texans as massive 16-point favorites. If that line holds, it would be the largest for an NFL playoff game since 1998 and the fourth-largest postseason spread in league history. And it makes sense. The Patriots finished the regular season an NFL-best 14-2, while the Texans were able to sneak into the playoffs at 9-7 by winning the league’s weakest division. New England also has beaten Houston once already this season, rolling to a 27-0 victory in Week 3 with
Floyd Mayweather Jr. Responds To Conor McGregor’s Money Demands With Offer
Share this: Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor both have expressed interest in throwing down under the right circumstances, but it sounds like the sides are world’s apart when it comes to financial matters. McGregor previously said he’d want $100 million to fight Mayweather, who supposedly is retired after running his professional boxing record to 49-0. Mayweather doesn’t see that demand as being reasonable, though, and he extended a counteroffer to the UFC champion Wednesday while appearing on ESPN’s “First Take.” “We tried to make the Conor McGregor fight,” Mayweather said. “They know what my number is. My number is a guaranteed $100 million. That was my number. “We are willing to give him $15 million and then we can talk about splitting the
Kings Reporter Tells DeMarcus Cousins He Doesn’t Want Him In Sacramento
Share this: After being a consistent subject of trade speculation, it appears DeMarcus Cousins isn’t going anywhere after all. It was reported on Tuesday that Cousins plans on signing a maximum-money contract extension to keep him in Sacramento through the 2022-23 season for a projected $207 million. Following the Kings’ game against the Detroit Pistons Tuesday night, Cousins decided to play the role of a reporter and asked Sacramento media members whether or not they would like for him to stay in town. One reporter, the Sacramento Bee’s Andy Furillo, was blunt in telling Cousins that he’d rather not have him stay with the Kings. Furillo’s answer does not come as much of a surprise, considering the history between the two. Earlier this season, Cousins lashed
