Isaiah Thomas Crying On Court Made Charles Barkley ‘Uncomfortable’

Share this: Isaiah Thomas entered the Boston Celtics’ matchup with the Chicago Bulls on Sunday with emotions running high. Just a day before Game 1 of his team’s first-round playoff series, Thomas tragically lost his 22-year-old sister to a single-car crash in Washington. The star guard was hurting entering the game against the Bulls, which Celtics head coach Brad Stevens attested to prior to the matchup. Thomas manifested these feelings prior to the game, as he was visibly emotional during player introductions when the TD Garden crowd gave him a raucous ovation. While Thomas received unwavering support for taking the floor Sunday, the emotion he showed hours before tip-off was not well received by one basketball analyst. Speaking on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” on Sunday, Charles Barkley

Jackie Bradley Jr. To Play In Pawtucket Tuesday, Could Rejoin Red Sox Vs. Oriole…

Share this: The Boston Red Sox’s lineup might be back to full strength in the very near future. Jackie Bradley Jr. hit the 10-day disabled list April 9 after suffering a knee injury rounding first base against the Tigers in Detroit during just the Red Sox’s fourth game of the season on April 8. But it appears that stay will be a short one. Red Sox manager John Farrell told reporters at Fenway Park before Saturday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays that the center fielder, along with infielder Josh Rutledge, who’s on the DL with a hamstring strain, will do baserunning drills Monday and join Triple-A Pawtucket for a rehab stint Tuesday. Farrell expects Bradley to be back with the Red Sox by

Watch What Happens When ‘The Legend Of Zelda’ Meshes With ‘Mario Kart’

Share this: Traveling across “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s” enormous world can be a tall task. A few spare parts and a little ingenuity, however, can help speed things up. In a video uploaded to YouTube on Wednesday, the people over at IGN show how they were able to make what amounts to a go kart in “Breath of the Wild.” You don’t need much to replicate the process, as just a mine cart, treasure chest and Link’s Magnesis ability will get the job done. [embedded content] This, along with the previously revealed flying glitch, really would’ve been helpful to know before we spent hours running across the game’s map. Plus, it looks as though the macgyvered go kart provides a bit of

Bruins-Senators Game 1 Takeaways: Are We Sure Zdeno Chara Is A Human Being?

Bruins-Senators Game 1 Takeaways: Are We Sure Zdeno Chara Is A Human Being?

The Boston Bruins looked dead in the water after 40 minutes on Wednesday night in Ottawa. However, the Bruins — as they have for much of Bruce Cassidy’s brief tenure — were able to dig deep and find a way to win, scoring two third-period goals en route to a 2-1 win over the Senators in Game 1 of their Stanley Cup playoffs first-round series. The gutsy effort was especially impressive given how bleak the situation appeared entering the third period. The Bruins registered a grand total of zero shots on goal in the middle frame, falling victim to Ottawa’s frustrating 1-3-1 neutral-zone trap. Here are some key takeaways from Boston’s series...

Bruins Look To End Regular Season On High Note Saturday Against Capitals

Share this: The Boston Bruins’ regular season comes to an end Saturday with an afternoon tilt against the Washington Capitals.

Protesters Unfurl Giant ‘Impeach Trump’ Banner After Nationals’ Opening Day Win

Protesters Unfurl Giant ‘Impeach Trump’ Banner After Nationals’ Opening Day Win

Maybe it’s a good thing Donald Trump didn’t throw out the first pitch at Nationals Park after all. The President of the United States declined the Washington Nationals’ invitation to take part in the club’s Opening Day festivities before Monday’s game against the Miami Marlins, forgoing what’s been a tradition since William Taft threw out a first pitch in 1910. But if he had gone to the game, he probably wouldn’t have liked what he saw after the Nats beat the Marlins 4-2, as a group of protesters unfurled an enormous “Impeach Trump” banner painted on a Russian flag. The sign was confiscated for violating stadium policy, and one o... NESN.com
