Kurtenbach: After an embarrassing Game 3 loss to the Lakers, it’s time for the Warriors to let Jonathan Kuminga out of the doghouse

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:31:24 GMT

Lakers center Anthony Davis is lazily nicknamed AD, but that moniker has picked up a new meaning this postseason.It stands for “alternating days.”As in, you only get the big man’s best every-other game this postseason.Saturday was one of those good days. That was bad news for the Warriors.Yes, LeBron James had a few turn-back-the-clock moments and the Lakers’ role players made 3-pointers, but Davis was the catalyst for the Los Angeles win and the reason for the Lakers’ 2-1 series advantage over the Dubs.As if it wasn’t obvious enough before the series began, the formula for success in this series for the Warriors is simple: if you stop Davis, you stop the Lakers. So far, not so good for Golden State.Hey, perhaps Davis will stop himself in Game 4. The pattern says he will.But hoping for bad games isn’t a strategy, and the Warriors need a better one for defending the Lakers’ All-Star center.So far in this series, the Warriors have used t...

MLB Notes: Could Verdugo and Wong’s breakout change narrative of Mookie Betts trade?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:31:24 GMT

The Mookie Betts trade was controversial from the moment the deal was struck, and four years later the move remains a sore subject among Red Sox fans writ large.Already a league MVP and a World Series champion at the time of the deal, Betts could have become the face of the franchise and finished what will likely wind up being a Hall of Fame career in Boston. Red Sox fans were left wondering what could have been as Betts thrived in Los Angeles, and the fact the club went on to finish last in two out of three years only added insult to injury.The Red Sox were never going to get comparable value back in the short-term, but the way things are trending there’s a chance the trade could eventually be viewed as worthwhile.Alex Verdugo, the primary return in the Betts deal, has been a regular starter for the Red Sox ever since his arrival in 2020. His first three seasons in Boston could be best summed up as “good, not great,” but now he appears to have made the leap and is...
