of these names in the lineup in a pennant chase.Probably so, he replied.There were some games where, you look at the lineups wev Antworten

PITTSBURGH -- Jamel Artis scored 27 points and head coach Kevin Stallings survived a season-opening scare in his Pittsburgh debut, beating Eastern Michigan 93-90 in double overtime Friday night.The Panthers led all of regulation but were unable to put away the Eagles. Sheldon Jeters jumper and some clutch free-throw shooting in double overtime sealed the win for Pitt.The 6-foot-7 Artis made 11 of 12 free throws and started a new role under Stallings as a point guard. While the move was an offensive success, it remains a work in progress defensively.We played very hard, but sometimes we were over-aggressive and we tended to let guys drive, Artis said. We have to know to send guys to the help side.Michael Young put up 26 points and 10 rebounds, including a crucial offensive rebound late. Jeter finished with 12 points.Eastern Michigan did most of its damage inside. Tim Bond had 21 points as the Eagles outscored Pitt in the paint 48-20. James Thompson IV had eight points and 13 rebounds, seven on the offensive glass. Bond and Thompson fouled out early in overtime, as Eastern Michigan committed 30 fouls and let Pitt get to the line 45 times.The Eagles knew that opening the season on the road in a tough venue would be a challenge, but head coach Rob Murphy was impressed with the way his team battled back from a deficit to tie the game late.Our guys showed us that anybody we play, well have an opportunity, he said. Whether were going to close the door or not, thats something that we have to learn to do.TURNING POINTPitt had trouble defensively all night and allowed Eastern Michigan to shoot 42.9 percent from the floor. Needing some stops in double overtime, Stallings switched to a zone and Pitt forced five straight misses while building a two-possession lead.STAT OF THE NIGHTYoung had a career-high seven turnovers, with three of them coming in a one-minute span in the second half. Youngs turnovers were part of a 10-0 Eastern Michigan run that closed Pitts largest lead of the game to a 2-point margin.BIG PICTUREEastern Michigan: The Eagles were selected to finish first in the MAC West division and they showed why, giving the Panthers a stern defensive test with their 2/3 zone. The Eagles forced Pitt to take 33 3-pointers and more contested jump shots. The Eagles held Pitt to 39.7 percent shooting on the night.Pitt: Stallings used the nonconference game to work out his rotation. Ryan Luther was the first man off the bench, getting 18 minutes. Freshman Justice Kithcart played 27 minutes due to Cameron Johnsons foul trouble and seems to be the preferred option in the backcourt. Jonathan Milligan also saw significant time, while Damon Wilson played just 2 minutes.UP NEXTBoth teams will continue playing in the 2K Classic tournament, with Pitt hosting Gardner-Webb Monday night and Eastern Michigan visiting Southern Methodist Sunday. The championship rounds are in New York, Nov. 17 and 18. Rickey Jackson Jersey . Los Angeles star goalie survived those perilous gymnastics with no problem, and he eventually backstopped the Kings to a skid-snapping win. Quick stopped 27 shots in his return from a 24-game injury absence, Jeff Carter scored the tiebreaking goal with 7:55 to play, and the Kings snapped their five-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night. Richard Dent Jersey . Two pressure cooker bombs exploded near the finish line of the April 15 race in an area packed with fans cheering the passing runners. Three people were killed and more than 260 injured, including at least 16 who lost limbs. http://www.custompatriotsjersey.com/custom-matt-cassel-jersey-large-281f.html . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim. Joe Perry Jersey . Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, announced Wednesday that the team would assign Swedish forward Elias Lindholm to his nations team for the upcoming tournament. Rod Woodson Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. PHOENIX -- The Los Angeles Dodgers close out their seasons longest road trip, 10 games, Sunday against NL West rival Arizona.As always, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will be mixing and matching, calculating who is healthy enough to play and who has the best chance to be effective. The Dodgers have placed 28 players on the disabled list this year, most in MLB history.How has he done it?Roberts fumbled for an answer Saturday. I think its just a matter of not trying to, uh, I dont know. Its a good question.Then, after thinking the matter through, he said, I think a lot of it is the players just understanding that there are certain circumstances were presented with and weve got to find a way to make it work.So I think its not ideal or traditional some of the things thats weve done. But weve had to make it work.Saturdays 6-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks was a great example.In addition to such high-profile youngsters as Corey Seager and Joc Pederson, Roberts started a pitcher, Brock Stewart, who began the season at Class A Rancho Cucamonga.Stewart proceeded to outpitch the D-backs Shelby Miller, giving the Dodgers five solid innings in his fifth MLB start.Then there was another rookie, Andrew Toles, who made a perfect throw from left field to home to save a run and choke off a Diamondbacks rally.A huge play, Roberts said.Next rookie up for the Dodgers is right-hander Jose De Leon (2-0), who will make just the third start of his major league career.dddddddddddd In 11 innings pitched for Los Angeles, he has given up six runs (five earned) on eight hits, including three home runs. He has 12 strikeouts and two walks in his first two starts.It will be the 65th game started by a rookie this year for the Dodgers.Roberts was asked to reflect back to spring training, and if he would have been scared to see some of these names in the lineup in a pennant chase.Probably so, he replied.There were some games where, you look at the lineups weve run out there in September, it kind of looks like a split-squad (spring training) game. But these are major league players playing on a playoff-contending team.You look at our roster and you project. This is not the way obviously we would have seen it playing out.Roberts praised the Dodgers scouts and player-development staff.The common factor with these young players is the pulse and the head. They dont scare off. Theyre really unshaken.The Diamondbacks will counter with Robbie Ray, who is 8-13 with a 4.55 ERA this season. He became one of just four pitchers in franchise history to record a 200-strikeout season when he beat the Rockies on Tuesday, allowing four runs over five innings with seven strikeouts.Ray is 3-3 in seven career starts against the Dodgers.
