The Boston Celtics have had a remarkable season thus far, and that is in large part due to Isaiah Thomas. The All-Star guard is averaging an incredible 29.9 points per game this season, good for the second-highest mark in the NBA. Thomas only trails Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Russell Westbrook, who’s averaging 30.9 points per game and has held the top spot for the majority of the season. However, with 26 games remaining in the Celtics’ season, Thomas believes he can overtake Westbrook on the scoring leaderboard, as he told Bill Doyle of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette following the Celtics’ 116-108 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on ...

Mertens motoring at NapoliChristmas seems to be coming at the wrong time for Dries Mertens, scorer of seven goals in Napoli's last two games, including four in Sunday's 5-3 defeat of Torino – the first three constituted Serie A's fifth fastest hat-trick. "I still have to understand what I did," said Mertens, who scored four and set up three in this autumn's UEFA Champions League group stage. His fourth against Torino, a wonderful lob, drew comparisons with a notable Napoli old boy. "Maradona?" said the 29-year-old. "I think I have a way to go yet ..."Marseille and the power of suggestionHypnosis apparently helped French striker André-P... UEFA.com - News
Bruins’ David Pastrnak ‘Day-To-Day’ After Undergoing Elbow Procedure
Share this: The Boston Bruins likely will be without their leading goal scorer for at least the next two games. Bruins forward David Pastrnak underwent “a successful removal of the olecranon bursa from his right elbow” Friday at Newton Wellesley Hospital, general manager Don Sweeney said in a statement Saturday. Pastrnak is expected to miss Boston’s games on Sunday and Tuesday and is considered day-to-day. The 20-year-old is enjoying a remarkable season for the Bruins, entering Saturday as the NHL’s second-leading goal scorer behind Sidney Crosby (21) with 19 goals in 27 games. That’s already a career high, as Pastrnak tallied 15 goals in 51 games last season and 10 goals in 46 games as a rookie. The Czech Republic native tallied two points (a goal and an

Oldest player, winner and scorer at EURO
They say there is no substitute for experience and there have been times in UEFA European Championship history when this has proved the case – the prime example being Arnold Mühren, who provided the cross for Marco van Basten's astonishing top-spin volley in the 1988 final against the Soviet Union. He was 37 years and 23 days old at the time, setting a record for the oldest player to pick up a winners' medal.Muhren was fortunate because not all players can bow out in a blaze of glory. Germany duo Lothar Matthäus and Jens Lehmann set their own records on their final international appearances but while the latter had to settle for a runners-up medal in 2008, the former suffered
