Joe Mazzulla doesn’t really seem like the type of guy who would rob a bank. But he’s definitely the type of guy who’s thought about it.
The Boston Celtics head coach appeared on Zach Lowe’s The Lowe Post podcast last week to discuss his team’s championship season. But at one point, the conversation de-railed into how Mazzulla would pull off a bank heist. (Hypothetically, of course.)
And he’s put a surprising amount of thought into his role in the successful robbery.
“I would either want to plan the whole thing, like attention to detail.

It’s NBA Draft week, and plenty remains hazy ahead of Wednesday’s first round in New York. Here’s a near-final forecast for all 58 picks over two days.

The first round of the NBA Draft is hours away. Who’s going where? Starting with Atlanta at No. 1 and ending with Dallas at No. 58 on Day 2, we forecast both rounds.

The Mets were a hapless mess of an organization until Grimace came into their lives. The husky blob of unknown density arrived at Citi Field to throw out the first pitch on June 12, and since the team has gone 9-and-2 — now in legitimate striking distance of grabbing a wild card.

After 75 starts, Amy Yang finally won a major as she ran away with the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
Amy Yang is finally a major champion. After 75 starts and 16 years on the LPGA, she won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship by four shots.
She carded an even-par 72 on Sunday to finish at 7-under for the tournament.
“It’s incredible,” Yang said after her win.

No matter the outcome, Monday will deliver history. Either a first-ever title for Florida or a Stanley Cup comeback by Edmonton that hasn’t been seen since 1942.

Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers is set for tonight at 8 p.m. EST, and only one of the teams seems excited about it.
Granted, that’s not a huge surprise, because this isn’t your ordinary Game 7 (which is already exciting enough). At one point in the series – which seems like forever ago now – Florida held a 3-0 series lead over the Western Conference champions. For the first 180 minutes of hockey, the Panthers put the Oilers in a stranglehold, winning Games 1-3 by scores of 3-0, 4-1, and 4-3.
