Promo Reel

It’s understood that one of Lynch’s main goals is to spew positivity about the 49ers. He’s actually been phenomenal at winning the PR battles. The 49ers really haven’t done anything wrong since he was hired on Jan. 30.

So the argument becomes which player makes his teammates better? Because in basketball, only so much individual talent will get you a win. Curry’s lethal shot opens up the entire floor, and actually, sets the entire offense. All of the back-door cutting and weaving the Warriors run work because of the threat of Curry’s shot. Durant’s points per game dipped, but his field goal percentage (53.7) was by far the highest in his career

Monday was supposed to be the day the Giants were lowered down into their grave. After losing 12 of their past 13 games, including three non-competitive weekend contests against a fourth-place New York Mets team, a Giants’ team that was left for dead long ago should have been buried by the Colorado Rockies.

Draymond Green has been named the NBA’s 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year after two years in a row of finishing in second to Kawhi Leonard. This year, the roles were reversed and Leonard finished behind Green after both were earlier today named to the All-Defensive First Team.

If it’s time to find a scapegoat, Mark Melancon says “bring it on.” The 2017 season has been nothing but a disappointment for a San Francisco Giants team loaded with veteran players and players who have demonstrated they know how to win at the Major League level, yet the team is 24 games under .500 and has yet to reach the halfway point of the season.

When NBA-award voters aren’t selecting Jamal Crawford to win the Sixth Man award (2010, 2014 and 2016 winner), choosing the NBA’s best bench player is always an intriguing debate. This year is no different with three viable candidates in Eric Gordon, Lou Williams and Andre Iguodala.

Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch will have some tough decisions to make for August cuts. Training camp begins on July 27th.

There’s no other explanation for it. After experiencing the highest of highs in three separate seasons as the Giants’ manager, Bruce Bochy is being tested with the lowest of lows. On Sunday, San Francisco was once again blown out, this time by the fourth-place New York Mets, who completed a three-game sweep of Bochy’s ballclub with a dominant 8-2 victory.

The San Francisco Giants have lost 11 of their last 12, and 20 of their last 25, but on Sunday, manager Bruce Bochy was reminded that there’s more to life than just baseball games. Longtime Giants fan Bryan Stow paid Bochy and the club a visit before Sunday’s contest against the Mets, and Bochy was thrilled to see Stow in the dugout and interacting with San Francisco’s players before their series finale.

The night before Ryder Jones made his Major League debut against New York Mets’ starter Jacob deGrom, Jones and his roommate, Giants prospect Christian Arroyo, popped in “MLB: The Show” on their PlayStation to see what the new third baseman would contend with upon arriving at AT&T Park. According to Jones, he singled and popped out against the former National League Rookie of the Year late on Friday night, and it turns out, that’s almost as much damage than the Giants were able to do against deGrom in person.
