 The 2020 NBA playoffs have been a showcase of shocking comebacks, ungodly individual exploits, buzzer-beaters and beautiful team performances. But not every postseason game can be a work of art. Those instant classics linger in our memories, but every team that advances to the NBA Finals trudges its way through a bog or two. For the Miami Heat, their 112-109 Game 4 victory over the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals was anything but elegant. There were glimpses of the two-man dance of Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo, and Jimmy Butler found 24 points in places he usually does. But very little on Wednesday came easily until the closing possessions. There was one exception: Tyler Herro. In a choppy affair with many ugly possessions, Herro was playing in a different game. The rookie guard sizzled from beyond the arc, showed off his ball skills off the dribble and crashed the glass. His 37-point output not only paced the Heat but also saved them. https://www.360cities.net/pr...

 Through two weeks of the NFL season, we've seen an improved Josh Allen in Buffalo, a struggling Carson Wentz in Philadelphia and an out-of-sync Drew Brees in New Orleans. We've also seen a dominant defense in Indianapolis, a bad defense in Detroit and an even worse offense in Minnesota. Which of these early-season surprises are sustainable, and which are likely to reverse course? We asked our NFL Nation reporters to pick the biggest surprises for the team they cover, then give their verdict -- real or a mirage? -- on whether each surprise will continue for the rest of the season. The Cowboys have two sacks in two games. It was supposed to be a lot better with additions of Everson Griffen and Aldon Smith, the return to form of DeMarcus Lawrence, the return to health of Tyrone Crawford and a more disguised scheme under new coordinator Mike Nolan. A big factor? The Cowboys have struggled getting their opponents in favorable third-down situations to get after the quarterback. Four...

The Rams have averaged just 5.5 fantasy points this season. And they are going up against the Bills who have done a pretty good job of putting up points this season. The Bills rank sixth in the NFL with 29 points-per. Josh Allen has been killing people for years with his legs. But his passing has gone to another level this season as he’s averaged 364.5 YPG this season. The most in the NFL. The Seahawks defense kind of just operates in name only at this point. The uniforms look the same. You recognize a few names, but it’s just not the same. Like when the Four Horsemen added Paul Roma. Like, you’re still a Horseman. But, yeah. The Seahawks are allowing 485 YPG this season, which is the most in the NFL. Dak Prescott is coming off a huge game. This should be high-scoring for sure. https://myspace.com/ravensvschiefs https://www.pinterest.com/chiefsvsravens/ https://www.flickr.com/people/ravensvschiefs/ https://www.behance.net/ChiefsvsRavens https://profiles.wordpress.org/bradleypete...

 You know the Texans are still having some trouble on the offensive line. Deshaun Watson (along with Carson Wentz) has been sacked a league-leading eight times this season. Now they have the Steelers, who are one of the top defenses in the league. They averaged five sacks per game. And the Texans have allowed an average of 11 fantasy points per game to defenses, which is the most in the NFL. I mean, I guess at this point we can stop listing the “start your defense against the Jets” position because it’s become way too obvious. But I did want to give some credit to the Colts for being one of the top fantasy defenses this season. Their 9.5 fantasy points per game is tied for third in the league. As is their seven sacks on the season. The Jets have scored 30 points this season. Total. https://en.gravatar.com/buccaneersvsbroncos https://www.instagram.com/buccaneersvsbroncos/ https://www.blogger.com/profile/11733564520629929261 https://myspace.com/buccaneersvsbroncos https://ww...

The Chargers did a pretty nice job against the Chiefs last week, at least for a while. And yes, they were shutting down Tyreek Hill, at least for a while. I like this matchup against the Panthers, though. The Chargers have averaged six fantasy points per game this season, that’s 12th in the league. They have allowed 36 total points this year. And what we’re looking at here is the sacks. The Panthers have allowed three sacks per game. Joey Bosa can get that on his own. (And because they played the Chiefs last week, the Chargers are probably on your waiver wire.) Don’t get excited Titans fans, I don’t want to give you too much credit here. The Titans defense hasn’t been that good. But we’ve come to a point in our lives where we want to stream against the Vikings offense. Minnesota has averaged 278.5 yards per game this season, which is the third-worst in the NFL. https://reason.com/2020/09/04/youre-not-allowed-to-film-the-fight-for-control-over-who-reports-from-portland/#comments htt...

The Phinsider 2020 NFL Power Rankings are back for Week 3. This week saw our Week 2 top team survive in overtime, our second-ranked team win in a blowout, and the third-placed team get smacked on Monday Night Football. Should make for some fun in the rankings. If you have not checked out our power rankings before, we do them a little differently here on The Phinsider. Rather than having one person move Team A up two places because they won last week, then Team B falls three spots because of a loss, we just start with a blank slate each week. Josh Houtz and I alternate selections draft-style, selecting the team we feel are most likely to win the Super Bowl. Sometimes it leads to wild swings in the rankings. Sometimes it leads to no movement even with a loss. Last week, I had the odd picks while Houtz had the even selections, so we will flip that for this week. http://edelmira00mirna.withtank.com/what-you-need-to-understand-about-caring-for-your-teeth/2019/10/26/what-you-need-to-understa...

 We're a day away from Bengals vs Browns live streams, kicking off week 2 of the NFL season. This Thursday Night Football matchup pits two winless (0-1) teams against each other to see which can earn a win, as both teams put their first-overall NFL Draft pick QBs up against each other. Cleveland's Browns are the favorite (by 6 points) for this NFL live stream, and while this might not feel like the perfect follow up to last week's big TNF rematch between the Chiefs and Texans, this game will probably provide bragging rights for one team to say it invested better in its future. The over/under is currently a whopping 43.5, showing that while Vegas has confidence in these pigskin-slingers, it doesn't think a whole lot of either team's defense.  And while Mayfield only has 7 wins in 30 career starts, 3 of those W's came against the Bengals, giving many to think this is where he's got his chance. Odell Beckham Jr. only had 3 catches with 22 yards in the Week 1 se...
