Takeaways from the Spurs 107-106 Game 3 loss vs. New York: - That might be the worst loss in franchise history. - I genuinely have no idea why De'Aaron Fox decided to shoot that layup. - I also have no idea why when the Spurs missed eight straight three pointers Mitch Johnson allowed them to keep shooting. - De'Aaron should never have shot that, but the Spurs should've never been in that position. - How is it with 7:17 left in the game in the bonus there is zero rim aggression? - Somehow every reason I've complained about Mitch this series is right back in my mouth. - Why did Victor Wembanyama's shot diet consist of threes after his hot start in the paint? - How are we still wondering why Dylan Harper didn't get to close out the game? - Devin Vassell was great, he gets a pass. - Stephon Castle's foul trouble was why the Knicks got back in the game. - Doesn't help that Julian Champagnie shot 1/7 from three. - Carter Bryant absolutely deserved more minutes than Keldon Johnson tonight. - I don't understand how the Spurs allow so many offensive rebounds. - I'm confused why they refused to attack the basket. 28 points in the paint is ridiculous. - I understand wanting to keep trying and shoot threes out of the half after the historic shooting in the first half, but not turning away from it when it wasn't working is ridiculous. - I don't understand how OG Anunoby is always open. - The Spurs scored 30 second half points. - I just have no words. - That was the loss that demoralized this team. - Mitch Johnson genuinely ran middle school offense in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. - I'm not even mad, I'm just numb and confused. 1-3. #PorVida

The A's will host the Brewers and Rockies at Las Vegas Ballpark this week, home of the Las Vegas Aviators. The Aviators are the Triple-A affiliate of the Athletics.

The Athletics will begin a six-game homestand at Las Vegas Ballpark tonight - which has one of the most prolific run environments in the Pacific Coast League (AAA). Vegas sits 2,000 feet above sea level, which would rank 2nd among active MLB parks. It's still 3,200' below Coors Field (#1) but 900' higher than Chase Field (#2). It will be 90° at start time this evening with wind blowing out to center at 10-15 mph. The wind figures to be impactful given the park's open-air style. The outfield at Las Vegas Ballpark is larger than the typical MLB standard, presumably to account for the persistent heat and high altitude - which help the ball travel farther. It measures 340' down the lines, 380' to each gap, and 415' to center. Most of the left side is guarded by a 13-foot-tall fence. It's being assigned a substantially hitter-friendly park factor for tonight due to the high altitude, hitter-friendly weather, and its offense-heavy reputation in the PCL. Given its lack of MLB history, park factors for this venue are far less precise than an established MLB stadium. They should be considered more of an educated guess this week than an exact science.

The Athletics are playing in Las Vegas today ⚾ They will host two series at Las Vegas Ballpark in Summerlin against the Brewers and the Rockies This marks the A’s first step in bringing their team to Las Vegas before the official launch in 2028

Pierre LeBrun: Re NHL playoff format: I hear from owners and managers and coaches and players, that they would rather go back to 1-8; people in every corner of the league are tired of this format - Melnick in the Afternoon (6/4)

I don’t know if any coach has had as eventful a career as Mike Brown. He coached early LeBron and late Kobe. He filled in for Kerr on the greatest team of all time, the 2017 Warriors. He ended the Kings playoff drought, and now, he’s two wins away from ending the Knicks drought.

Maybe Mike Brown needed to go through it to become the alpha he is now but remember how LeBron treated him

Victor Wembanyama’s agent, Jeremy Medjana, says he was turning down marketing deals in the millions from beverage companies before he even made it to the NBA: “We’re not gonna mix his image with sodas like Coca-Cola. They all want him, but Victor will never sell soda. Because he doesn’t want to kill the kids.” That’s my responsible GOAT 🥹 #GoSpursGo #PorVida

Dana White is spending $60 million to build a temporary arena on the White House lawn, losing $30 million on the event, and paying $700,000 just to replace the grass when it's over. Run the math against UFC's own history. The Sphere show in Vegas last September cost $21 million and was considered the most expensive production in UFC history. This card costs 3x that. TKO president Mark Shapiro told investors on an earnings call they expect to recoup roughly half through corporate sponsorships at $1.5 million per package. The other $30 million is what he called "an investment for the long term" and "earned media." That structure, "The Claw," was built in Lititz, Pennsylvania, and shipped to D.C. in pieces. The arena seats 5,000 people. Another 85,000 fans get free tickets to watch on screens at the Ellipse. Weigh-ins happen at the Lincoln Memorial. The card is headlined by Topuria vs. Gaethje and Pereira vs. Gane, and it airs on Paramount+. The part that tells you everything about how this event was planned: for several weeks in March, the entire card was technically unsanctioned because the UFC refused to pay a $100 permit to the D.C. Combat Sports Commission. A $60 million production nearly lost its official fight records over a hundred-dollar filing fee. The UFC argued the White House sits on federal land and local permits don't apply. The commission said without the permit, none of the fight results would count. They eventually bypassed D.C. entirely and brought in the Association of Boxing Commissions to regulate. Dana told NPR this week he hates two things: stadiums and fighting outside. "There's just so many variables. Rain and lightning. Bugs." June in D.C. averages 87 degrees with 65% humidity. The backup plan for weather is unclear. The $60 million won't turn a profit. The $700,000 grass bill comes due regardless. And 14 fighters will compete in an outdoor octagon on what is simultaneously Flag Day, America's 250th birthday celebration, and the President's 80th birthday. The last time a sporting event of this scale happened at the White House was never.
