Marcus Smart is marveling at the Grizzlies’ defensive mindset. He thinks they can be NBA’s best

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:31:54 GMT

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Marcus Smart sees no reason why the Grizzlies can’t be the NBA’s best defensive team this season. It’s not just bold talk from a brash player. Smart knows exactly why Memphis traded for him in June. Not only did the Grizzlies rank third in the NBA in defensive rating last season behind the play of Jaren Jackson Jr., the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, but Smart won that same award in 2022. That makes Memphis the first NBA team to pair back-to-back defensive players of the year since the award was first handed out in 1983.It has Smart marveling at the possibilities that could be on the horizon.“As a defensive guy coming on a team who thinks just like you and has guys such as Jaren in the same boat (that) understand the defense and how important it is … they’ll take you to a new level,” Smart said.Even as good as the Grizzlies have been on defense, this is an upgrade.They traded Dillon Brooks, who was named to the NBA All-Defense second...

Bryce Young, winless Panthers visit Tua Tagovailoa’s Dolphins in former Alabama QBs’ first matchup

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:31:54 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Bryce Young has been watching Tua Tagovailoa for a long time.The 2021 Heisman Trophy winner saw Tagovailoa excel at Alabama and help transform the Crimson Tide’s run-first offense into a pro-style scheme that pushed the ball down the field. That, in turn, influenced Young’s decision to go to Tuscaloosa.“It was a big transition from when he was there,” the Carolina Panthers’ rookie quarterback said, “just what the offense looked like and what Alabama moved to offensively. It’s flourished since then, and I was a recruit when all that was happening, so that was a really big reason for me being there.”Tagovailoa said he didn’t know he had that impact on Young, who became Alabama’s starter a year after Tagovailoa was drafted by the Dolphins, but he remembers being a part of Alabama’s offensive evolution.“It’s one of those things that, ‘Yeah, Alabama is not just a ground-and-pound team,’” Tagovailoa said. “&#...

The United States, along with the Israeli government, are mobilizing together to get Americans who are still in Israel out of harm’s way.On Friday morning, there were several tearful reunions as people arrived at Miami International Airport. The flights to get out of Israel were far and few, and for those who were able to catch a flight, it was an expensive endeavor. 7News cameras captured a family who were able to make it to South Florida. They were in Israel when the attacks broke out.The couple flew out Saturday and left their child with some family. Now, with some help from the U.S. government, they were able to reunite with their daughter. It was the first time they were able to hold their daughter in over a week. “Today, we are in 2023, we are not in 1943,” the father said. “We are strong. The United States stands with us and thank God, thank God, my baby come.”In an effort to help U.S. residents who are attempting to flee Israel, Twenty-eight-yea...

Lots of familiar faces when the Patriots visit the Raiders

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:31:54 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — It’s Patriots East against Patriots West on Sunday, teams with a lot of similarities in desperate need of a victory.The New England Patriots are 1-4 and looking for any kind of spark after losing by a combined 72-3 the past two weeks. Quarterback Mac Jones was benched in both games, and it’s the most adversity New England has faced in coach Bill Belichick’s 24 years on the job.The Las Vegas Raiders have been a landing spot for former Patriots under coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler, both ex-members of that organization. The Raiders’ situation isn’t much better than New England’s, but at 2-3 they found some breathing room by beating the Green Bay Packers 17-13 on Monday night. They need to win Sunday to salvage realistic hopes of a playoff berth as the schedule weakens.“This is a team we certainly have a good level of familiarity with — eight guys on the coaching staff, five scouts, nin...
