By Michael Parente Tonight, we find out whether these San Antonio Spurs are the ’86 Red Sox or the ’74 Celtics.
Only one team can overcome the kick to the groin Miami gave San Antonio Tuesday night in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, and that would be the Spurs, who still have the veteran leadership of Tony Parker and Tim Duncan and the cool, calm assertiveness of head coach Gregg Popovich, who has won four titles with the Spurs and is the longest-tenured coach in all four major American sports (MLB, NHL, NBA and NFL). By Michael Parente Rob Gronkowski may be dumb, but he sure as hell isn’t dumb enough to kill a guy, leave the body a mile from his own house and ditch the getaway car rented under his name at the crime scene.

Facing a 2-1 series deficit, the Chicago Blackhawks made it clear that if they were going down... they would do it their own way, playing their own style. More to come as this story develops...
By Kevin Aherne When Tim Thomas left the Hub City, Boston knew that their goltending situation was facing a setback... However, somebody failed to remind Tuukka Rask.
By Chad Hoyle The Los Angeles Clippers have just rejected a trade that would send Kevin Garnett and Coach Doc Rivers to the Golden State. The deal deteriorated when the Clips "refused to budge" on the offers for DeAndre Jordan, who would be a straight up trade for Garnett, and the inclusion of two first round picks for Rivers' contract buyout. The deal was almost certain to be done by the end of Tuesday, barring any inevitable balks from either team. The rejection comes as a surprise to many, including the Celtics, who were certainly getting the sweeter end of the swap. The Celtics will now face another year of Grandpa Garnett, and add to it an unhappy coach, who's under contract for another 3 years and $21 million. The Clippers will continue to interview new coaching candidates and hope to have someone in place by week's end. By Kevin Aherne After Boston was outshot 19-4 in the first period of game 2, it seemed like the Bruins had a long night ahead of them... But Tuuka Rask put the entire team on his shoulders Saturday night, sending the Stanley Cup Finals back to Boston tied at one.
