Ex-Heat Markieff Morris: Heat too ‘talented’ and ‘tough’ for Knicks

MercuryNews.com 

Before the Knicks tackled their 3-1 deficit and a must-win Game 5, Markieff Morris, an NBA veteran and a recent Heat player, predicted their quick downfall because the matchup was unfavorable.

MercuryNews.com 

Mitchell Robinson trotted to the bench with a grin so wide, you could see it from the other side of the bridge.

They became the first Knicks duo to...

Bridge: May 14, 2023

MercuryNews.com 

A reader sent me today’s deal from a team-of-four match. It furnished support for my opinion (which I cherish against almost universal opposition) that the modern, dominant “game-forcing two-over-one” bidding style has its shortcomings. At one table, North-South stopped safely at four spades. North’s bid of two diamonds suggested to South that the hands fit […]

Renowned Astros- hater Joe Kelly pitched 1⅓ scoreless...

MercuryNews.com 

“No, I didn’ t believe it,” Rizzo told the Daily News of the timeless expression at the start of his career,“ because I was realistic about where we were as a team.”. Yankees closer Clay Holmes echoed similar sentiments when discussing the bulk of his stay in Pittsburgh. The Pirates won 69 games in 2019, 19 during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, and 61 in 2021, which is...
