Rodney Hood Explains Why It’s Been ‘Tough’ To Play With LeBron James
Rodney Hood was expected to be a key role player for the Cavaliers when Cleveland dealt for the 25-year-old forward at February’s NBA trade deadline. But things don’t always go as planned. After averaging a career-high 16.8 points per game through 39 games to start the season with the Utah Jazz, Hood’s production has considerably dipped in Cleveland. In fact, Hood has failed to see the court in six of the Cavaliers’ playoff games, including Thursday’s NBA Finals Game 1 loss to the Golden State Warriors. That said, Hood’s tenure with the Cavs understandably has been tough, and being grouped into the intense spotlight that surrounds... NESN.com
Bruce Cassidy Explains How Bruins Overcame Rough Start To Season
The Boston Bruins’ 2017-18 season didn’t start off in the way they would have hoped. The Bruins posted a 6-7-4 record in their first 17 games, leading many to believe the Black and Gold were bound for a disappointing campaign. But Boston managed to turn things around, turning in a 44-13-8 record in the remainder of the regular season en route to the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. In a recent sit-down interview with NESN’s Andy Brickley, Bruce Cassidy explained how his club righted the ship and became one of the premier teams in the East.

Red Sox Ace Chris Sale Explains Adjustments He’s Made In Recent Starts
It only was a matter of time before Chris Sale returned to his dominant form.

Speaking after Boston’s third straight victory, the star left-hander explained the adjustments he made after his first handful of starts of the campaign, which definitely were below his standards. To hear from Sale, check out the video above from “NESN Sports Today,” presented by People’s United Bank. ... NESN.com
Kyrie Irving Explains How Jayson Tatum Can Realize Star Potential
BOSTON — Jayson Tatum continues to impress at 19 years old. The Boston Celtics have asked a lot of the No. 3 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, and he’s delivered early in his career. Tatum scored in double figures once again in the Celtics’ 108-97 win over the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden. The Duke product poured in nine of his 15 points in the fourth quarter, showing once again that the NBA stage isn’t too big for him. With the Celtics leading by five in the fourth quarter, Tatum got Philly forward Amir Johnson on the switch and immediately asked for a clear out so he could take the former Celtics big
Bill Belichick Briefly Explains Why Patriots Signed Backup QB Brian Hoyer
There was a quick 24-hour span when New England Patriots rookie tight end Jacob Hollister might have been Tom Brady’s backup quarterback. The Patriots officially traded quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to the 49ers on Tuesday afternoon and eventually signed Brian Hoyer, who San Francisco released, on Wednesday. Brady was the only quarterback on the Patriots’ roster during that span, and Hollister was the only healthy player who served as a college QB. It seems obvious why the Patriots elected to sign Hoyer over other available quarterbacks, most notably former 49ers signal-caller Colin Kaepernick. Hoyer played with the Patriots from 2009 until the summer of 2... NESN.com
