LeBron James owns Russell Westbrook in Lakers-Rockets Game 1

 Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James destroyed Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook in Game 1 of Friday night's NBA Western Conference semifinal playoff matchup.


LeBron James stuffs Russell Westbrook, Lakers vs Rockets Game 1 9/4/2020


James put Westbrook on a poster by dunking on him in the first half (and drawing the foul), then swatting him twice in the second half, making for some impressive highlights.


James finished with 20 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and those two monster blocks on Westbrook. However, Westbrook had the last laugh with 24 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists as the Rockets beat the Lakers 112-97 to take a 1-0 lead in the series.


According to most experts, the Lakers still have strong odds to win the NBA championship despite losing the opening game of the series. However, another win by the Rockets would certainly change that. This scenario is playing out in the Eastern Conference as the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks have seen their odds nosedive as the Miami Heat has taken a 3-0 lead. This turn of events certainly fits into the 2020 narrative.

Ben Heller struggles to open bullpen gate



New York Yankees relief pitcher Ben Heller had some trouble opening the bullpen gate during Friday's opening game of a doubleheader in Baltimore, resulting in an awkwardly funny moment.

Ben Heller tried to push the door open from behind the outfield wall as he entered the game in the middle of the fifth inning. Unfortunately, the door was designed to be pulled open from the bullpen. It took Heller a few seconds to figure it out.



We've all been there at some point or another, so it's OK to laugh.

Heller gave up a solo home run and a walk as he only pitched one inning, but the Yankees beat the Orioles 6-5.

Marcus Morris ejected for hard foul on Luka Doncic, Clippers vs Mavericks, 8/30/2020

Los Angeles Clippers small forward Marcus Morris was ejected from Sunday's Game 6 of their NBA Western Conference first round playoff series for a hard foul on Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic.

It happened late in the first quarter with the Clippers holding a 27-25 lead. Doncic took the ball all the way down the court and tried to dribble around Morris for a layup attempt and Morris got too aggressive in trying to stop him. After trying to steal the ball, Morris stepped on Doncic's left foot while whacking him in the head with both hands.


The play nearly triggered a brawl, but officials, coaches and other players stepped in to keep Doncic and Morris separated. After a review of the play, the officials gave Morris a flagrant 2, leading to an automatic ejection. Morris finished with 9 points in 11 minutes.

Understanding NFL Point Spreads Betting

If you’re getting into the world of sports betting, you’ve likely come across multiple avenues to try your hand at. From betting on the winner of each game to creating fantasy leagues, there’s a way for people to bet on sports that are suitable for anyone.

One way is point spreads betting.

For those who want the chance to win more money quickly compared to other ways of betting, point spreads are the way to go. Once you grasp the basics of this system, it’s relatively easy to work with, and you can be quite successful at it.

We came up with a guide to the popular point spreads betting to help get you going for the 2020 NFL point spreads betting season.

The Basics of Point Spreads Betting

In NFL, there is a set number of points that the favored team is expected to win by. When you read those numbers, it’s called the handicap. Here, you have two routes to bet on.

First, you can place a wager on the favored team to win. In order for you to win the bet, the favored team must beat the underdog team by more than the spread amount. Going this route is called covering the spread.

The other option is to place a wager on the underdog team (the one that isn’t favored to win). For this bet, the underdog has to either pull an upset by winning the game outright or lose by fewer points than the spread. If you take this bet, you are hoping that the underdog beats the spread.

Here’s a quick example to help further explain this. Say you have the New Orleans Saints favored to win against the Carolina Panthers by a spread of 10 points. If you were to place a wager on the Saints, the team must win by a score of 11 or more for you to win your wager.

Otherwise, you could put your wager on the Panthers. If they beat the Saints or lose to them by 9 points or less, you would win your wager.

Strategies to Consider

As with any style of betting, you want to have a strategy and consider different factors to increase your chance of winning.

For sports, one of the first factors to look at is where the game is being played. There’s often the home-field advantage that gives the home team an edge over the visiting team. The crowd plays a huge role in encouraging and motivating their home team and distracting the away team.

Is the game a divisional matchup? Games against teams within the same division often becomes more competitive. Not only does this create a more exciting game, but it also usually has a closer score in the end.

Some other factors to look at include the previous week for each team. If one or both groups had to travel across the country for this week’s game, that means less rest time for the players. Pay attention to the injury report as certain players being out can have a detrimental effect on the team overall.

Ready to play your hand at point spreads betting? Enjoy the fun and the rush as you watch the games for your chance to win big.

Antoine Roussel gets misconduct penalty for chirping at and hugging opponent

Antoine Roussel chirps with Ryan Reeves, Canucks vs Golden Knights 8/23/2020

Vancouver Canucks left winger Antoine Roussel was given a surprising misconduct penalty during Sunday's Game 1 of their NHL Western Conference second round playoff series against Vegas.

It happened in the third period with the Golden Knights holding a 4-0 lead. During a play stoppage, Roussel got into a chirping match with Golden Knights right winger Ryan Reeves. Roussel playfully poked Reeves while chirping with him, then gave Reeves a "hug" while continuing to taunt him in his ear.

The referees separated the players, but then shocked everyone by sending Roussel to the penalty box for 10 minutes.


Seriously? The officials called this a misconduct penalty? This is a horrible job. Come on, refs, this is playoff hockey. Let them play.

Reeves got the last laugh over Roussel as the Golden Knights dominated the Canucks for the 5-0 victory.

Richard Rodriguez throws WILD pitch so far outside it's hilarious

Richard Rodriguez throws pitch WAY outside, Pirates vs Tigers, 8/9/2020

Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Richard Rodriguez threw a pitch so far outside of the strike zone during Sunday's game against Detroit that "wild" doesn't begin to describe it.

It happened in the top of the eighth inning with two outs and a runner on first base as the game was tied at 1-1. The first pitch to Tigers DH Miguel Cabrera was WAY off, as in very high and several feet behind Cabrera. The pitch went into the backstop, allowing the Tigers runner to move ahead to second base.



It looked like Rodriguez's front cleat clipped the mound during his motion towards the plate, throwing off his release point, which resulted in the wild, wild pitch. It left television announcers baffled: "What was that?"

Rodriguez ended up giving up a single to Cabrera, which allowed the winning run to score. Although Rodriguez was able to recover and finish the game without giving up another run, he took the loss as the Pirates lost to the Tigers 2-1.

Hunter Pence loses fly ball, blows Johnny Cueto's no-hit bid

Hunter Pence loses fly ball in the lights Giants vs Dodgers 8/8/2020

San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence lost a fly ball in the lights during Saturday night's game in Los Angeles against the division rival Dodgers.

It happened in the bottom of the sixth with no outs and the Giants holding a 5-0 lead. Giants starter Johnny Cueto had given up no hits (with only one base runner) to that point. Dodgers batter Enrique Hernandez hit the 2-1 pitch into left field in what appeared to be an easy out. Unfortunately, Pence lost the ball in the lights almost immediately, and the ball landed nearly 30 feet behind him.


Mike Yastrzemski chased down the ball from center field. Hernandez took advantage of the misplay, ending up on third base as he was credited with a triple. The play led to a four-run rally for the Dodgers which knocked Cueto out of the game.

Naturally, Pence felt awful not only for losing the fly ball, but blowing Cueto's chance at a no-hitter. Fortunately, the Giants were able to hold on to the 5-4 victory.
