On the Stanford Cardinal podcast with Jerry F:

#1 Jerry, the Cardinal (9-5) open tonight with two games in Arizona, tonight against the Wildcats, who are one of the best at 12-3, and on Saturday against the ASU Sun Devils, who are 4-8. Let’s take tonight’s game first. How much pressure will it be on star scorer for Stanford Oscar da Silva tonight?

#2 Stanford has won four of their last six game, including their last game against UCLA, which was by a razor margin 73-72, but an impressive win.

#3 In the game against UCLA, da Silva was once again top scorer with 26 points. He was followed by Jaiden Delaire, who scored 19. That’s saying a lot when you’re dueling with a team defense like the Bruins.

#4 The Wildcats are no match for a lot of teams in their last game. They pounded the Arizona State Sun Devils 80-67. The Wildcats are loaded on offense. Their top scorer on Monday night’s game was Terrell Brown 18 points and Azuolas Tubelis and James Akinjo both finished with 16. The Cardinal could have their hands full tonight in Tucson.

#5 Stanford head coach Jerod Haase could coach another game similar to the one he coached against UCLA. Lots of skill shots, aggressive inside and da Silva taking lots of outside shots.

The Sacramento Kings’ last two games had been postponed, but not on Wednesday night. The Kings defeated the Orlando Magic 121-107 at Golden 1 Center.

The Kings’ last game before Wednesday was against the New York Knicks last Friday at home. The Kings managed to take down the Knicks 103-94 to snap their four-game losing streak. The next two scheduled games were supposed to be played against the Memphis Grizzlies. 

However, due to COVID-19 protocols, the two games were postponed on Sunday and Monday. The Kings were not the source of the delay, but nonetheless, I’m sure they appreciated the extra time off. The Kings were set to be back in action on Wednesday taking on the Orlando Magic at the Amway Center.

In the first half, the Kings played well. The Kings outscored the Magic 32-23 getting back into the swing of things. In the second quarter, it was more for the same from the Kings. They managed to outscore the Magic 33-27 and build a 65-50 lead going into halftime. What was important for the Kings was to finish off the Magic. It has become a theme with this team the last few years to not finish off opponents.

In the second half, the Kings would look to do just that. The Kings started off strong. They outscored the Magic 31-27 in the third and looked poised to seal the deal and win their second game in a row. In the fourth quarter, they didn’t play as well, but still held onto the lead and managed to win the game. The Magic out scored the Kings 30-25 in the last quarter, but the Kings still managed to win the game 121-107.

Leading the way for the Kings (7-10) in victory was Buddy Hield, who had 29 points.

In contrast, the Magic (8-11) were led by Nikola Vucevic, who had 26 points. The Kings are now on a two-game winning streak and look to carry that momentum into their next contest. 

Up Next: The Kings will travel to Toronto and take on the Raptors on Friday night at 4:30 PM PST.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Nick DeSimone scored the game-winning goal with 24 seconds left in the third period as the San Jose Barracuda rallied back from a two-goal deficit to beat the Tucson Roadrunners 4-3 on Wednesday afternoon at Tucson Convention Center Arena.

In the first period, Kevin Hancock opened up the scoring at 6:17 mark as Ryan McGregor and former Bakersfield Condor’ Cameron Hebig picked up the assists. Less than a minute later, Blake Speers doubled Tucson’s lead to 2-0.

The Barracuda were outshot 13-to-12 in the opening 20 minutes.

In the middle frame, sophomore forward Joachim Blichfeld found paydirt at 11:28, cutting Tucson’s lead in half.

The Barracuda outshot Tucson 15-7 in the second for a two period total of 27-20.

In the third period, rookie forward Brandon Coe would even the score with his first professional goal at 3:53 as Karlis Cukste picked up the only assist. Blichfeld scored his second of the game at 15:02, netting his team-leading third goal of the preseason, giving the Barracuda a 3-2 lead.

With 1:24 left to go, Lane Pederson leveled the score at 3-3 on the power-play. But exactly one minute later, DeSimone’s late goal magic gave the Barracuda its lead back, and the eventual 4-3 win.

Josef Korenar (1-1-0-1) made 22 saves on 25 shots to collect his first victory of exhibition play. Ivan Prosvetov suffered the loss, allowing four goals on 36 shots.

UP NEXT: The Barracuda are back in action on Friday, 1/29 in Las Vegas, as they square off with the newest member of the AHL, the Henderson Silver Knights, at 7 pm PT.

On the Kings podcast with Tony R:

#1 Tony, the Kings (6-10) got a big win in their last game against the New York Knicks 103-94 after losing four straight games. How much of a morale booster is that for them starting out on the road trip tonight?

#2 The Knicks are not a slouch team by any means. They came into Sacramento last Friday with a four-game win streak, but the Kings wanted it more.

#3 The Kings Friday got offensive help from De’Aaron Fox, who led with 22 points and Harrison Barnes with 21.

#4 There’s been criticism regarding Kings head coach Luke Walton being one of the worse coaches in the NBA and that Walton has simply been out-coached this year. Is Walton’s job on shaky ground?

#5 The Kings had their game against the Memphis Grizzlies (7-6) postponed last Saturday due to the Grizzlies have COVID-19 protocol issues. The Kings are in Orlando tonight against the Magic. The Magic has lost eight of their last ten games and won in their last game defeating the Charlotte Hornets 117-108. How do you see the two teams tonight?

That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary: 2021 Season It’s Déjá vu all Over Again

2021 Season It’s Déjá vu all Over Again

That’s Amaury News and Commentary

By Amaury Pi-González

The MLB owners and the Major League Players Association get along just as well as the Democrats and Republicans in Washington and the mistrust is just as bad. It seems if the powers-to-be on both sides in baseball ever agree to (for example) go out to lunch together, then they will argue the time of lunch and probably argue and argue.

But there are outside baseball events (like in 2020) where neither the owners nor the players can control such as covid-19. A recent letter from a Phoenix television station from the Cactus League to Commissioner Rob Manfred (was leaked) and was asking him to delay Spring Training because of the Covid crisis in Arizona. Right away, within hours somebody familiar with the Player’s Union position suggested that MLB pushed the Cactus League to leak the letter.

Arizona cities who have Spring Training camps (15 of the 30 teams train in the Phoenix area) are requesting that MLB delays Spring Training. While owners want the Players Union to delay the start of the season by one month and now received support from Cactus League officials. The Union wants Spring Training to open on time as scheduled on February 17.

Interestingly enough, the other 15 Major League teams who trained in the State of Florida, seem to have little problem, probably because Florida is doing much better with the Covid crisis than Arizona. And as of today looks like Florida will open their Spring Training camps mid-February as scheduled. However Cactus League cities in Arizona want a delay of one month before the teams report to their respective Spring Training camps.

Stay well and stay tuned.

That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast: Chiefs Mahomes, Bucs Brady, prepare for Super Bowl LV

On That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast:

#1 Super Bowl LV is upon us and usually the Super Bowl is one of the biggest events talked, watched and covered in sports. Not so this year with Covid-19 protocols the NFL and the City of Tampa Bay is allowing only only up to 22,000 fans to enter to watch the game live.

#2 For Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady this is going to be his tenth Super Bowl of his career. Brady has won six Super Bowls and has the home field as the game is being played against the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb 7th.

#3 Amaury talk about Chiefs quarterback Pat Mahomes, he had suffered a concussion two weeks ago when he was tackled by the Cleveland Browns Mack Wilson. The tackle didn’t look like a fragrant foul that Wilson was intentionally trying to hurt Mahomes.

#4 Mahomes came out of that concussion as everyone saw on Sunday and played a solid game throwing over 300 yards under center and the Chiefs got a convincing win over the Buffalo Bills to advance to the Super Bowl

#5 Baseball Hall of Fame: It looks like that Curt Schilling, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, won’t have enough votes to make the Hall this year. If they don’t make the balloting this year next year (2022) will be their last shot at the Hall.

Cal Bears podcast with Morris Phillips:

#1 The USC Trojans (12-3) Evan Mobley had himself quite a second half against the Cal Bears (7-10) on Saturday night at Haas Pavilion scoring 17 of his 25 points in the second half effective to help defeat the Bears 76-68.

#2 Cal saw those walls closing in in that second half and even with Matt Bradley back in the line up that still didn’t help get the Bears enough offense to win.

#3 Morris I just wanted to ask you about Ryan Betley whose been in a slump of late, he scored seven points and got two assists in Saturday’s game against USC.

#4 The Cal Bears Makale Foreman had a rough game against USC no assists and five points. Foreman had some good games earlier has trailed off some?

#5 The Bears hit the road their next game is on Thu Jan 28 which will be at Arizona State (4-7). ASU has struggled losing six out of their last seven games. The Bears are coming off a win at Utah(6-6), a close loss to UCLA (12-3) and the disappointing loss to USC Morris how do you see Cal and ASU matching up on Thursday?
