WWW.FOXSPORTS.COMTom Brady Pokes Fun At Ryan Reynolds, Rob Mac After Wrexham Loss to BirminghamNFL legend Tom Brady has playfully mocked Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney following Birmingham City's impressive two-goal victory over Wrexham in the Championship. Brady, who serves as a minority investor in the Midlands club, took to social media to celebrate the Blues' 2-0 win and tease his famous counterparts as their team's latest promotion bid suffered a blow. Brady claims bragging rights Brady reveled in the 2-0 success at St Andrew's. Both clubs secured promotion from League One last season but are currently experiencing contrasting fortunes in England's second tier. Following the match, the former quarterback posted on his Instagram stories: "Big W. It's always more fun to beat your friends." This result ended a miserable streak of three consecutive defeats for Birmingham, who have now moved up to 15th in the table. Meanwhile, the seventh-placed visitors missed a vital opportunity to close the gap on the playoff places. Dominant display by the hosts The home side dominated the contest. Carlos Vicente and Christoph Klarer scored the only goals to secure a vital three points. Manager Chris Davies felt his team could have won by an even larger margin, noting that Wrexham failed to register a single shot on target. He said: "I really enjoyed watching the team today, I thought we were excellent throughout. When the opposition doesn't have a shot on your goal, and you score two, could've been five really, but that's everything. It's never easy after you've lost a few games and want to bounce back with a win, but I think we needed a big performance, a big statement win." Playoff hopes remain alive Despite the disappointing defeat, Phil Parkinson insists that Wrexham have not given up on their Premier League aspirations. The loss leaves them four points adrift of sixth place, but the manager remains defiant. He said: "We've had a tough week this week. But we're not down and out yet. It's not over yet. People will probably write us off and you can understand that to a certain degree, but inside the dressing room, we're not writing ourselves off and we're one win away from getting ourselves going again." The road ahead Looking forward, Wrexham desperately require a swift return to winning ways to salvage their fading playoff ambitions and secure another historic promotion, with a home fixture against Stoke up next. Meanwhile, Birmingham must capitalize on this momentum to guarantee survival and consolidate their Championship status as they prepare for a trip to Hull.0 Comments 0 Shares 7 Views 0 Reviews -

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMNBA play-in predictions: Heat-Hornets? Trail Blazers-Suns? Our takes on who will advanceThe 2026 NBA postseason is here! The play-in tournament tips off Tuesday with two high-stakes matchups. In the East, a couple of Southeast Division rivals will face off in an elimination game, as the No. 9 seed Charlotte Hornets host the No. 10 seed Miami Heat. The winner will advance with a shot at earning the No. 8 seed on Friday against either the Philadelphia 76ers or Orlando Magic. The loser will go home.In the West, the No. 7 seed Phoenix Suns will host the No. 8 seed Portland Trail Blazers in a battle of teams that have exceeded expectations this season. The winner will earn the No. 7 seed in the playoffs and a first-round series with the San Antonio Spurs. The loser will have one last chance to earn a playoff berth on Friday in a matchup with either the LA Clippers or Golden State Warriors.Who will advance on Tuesday? Our writers break down the matchups and make their picks. Whats your take on Heat-Hornets?Morten Stig Jensen: This will be an enormously difficult test for Miami.Both the Heat and Hornets are interesting offensive units, in the sense that Miami has been running like mad men all season, and the Hornets have become one of the most efficient 3-point shooting squads in all of basketball.That's also where they differ. Miami is, at best, a mid-tier 3-point shooting team, and if you think the Heat can offset that by some elite conversion rate by their primary big man, Bam Adebayo, think again.Adebayo hit just 44.2% of his total shots this season, leaving little avenue for the Heat to gain an offensive advantage elsewhere on the floor. If they get into a running game with the Hornets, that might not work to their benefit, which further underlines the need for Miami to go back to what its mostly known for: Gritty defense.However, that hasn't been as staple of a calling card as in the past. Kelly Iko: Its a pleasant surprise that a play-in game could produce such a high-level coaching matchup. The Charles Lee-Erik Spoelstra tactical battle is as tantalizing as Ive seen in quite some time at this early juncture.This game simply boils down to pace, pressing and proficiency. One of the reasons why Charlotte has been such an elite offensive unit third in offensive rating and sixth in halfcourt efficiency since the trade deadline is its ability to play at its own tempo. The Hornets are 29th in pace since the All-Star break and 28th in time of possession. They move the ball, probe and prod until they find the shot they want to take.Theres a catch, though. Force the Hornets to speed up and they generate just .888 points per chance against press defenses, according to Synergy tracking data. Miami, which rarely presses teams (26th in frequency), is absolutely lethal when it does (second in points allowed per chance). Add this to Charlottes very quiet struggles against zone defenses 20th in efficiency and you have yourselves a chance. Pay attention to Davion Mitchells usage in this one, as one of the games premier full-court irritants.Dan Devine: At the risk of oversimplifying, it starts with stops. Miami entered mid-March ranked fourth in the NBA in points allowed per possession, doing its customary good-to-great job at nailing the fundamentals of excellent defense with Erik Spoelstra and Adebayo at the controls. Over the final month, though, the Heats formerly staunch defense buckled: 22nd in points allowed in the paint, 29th in opponent turnover rate, and 30th dead last in defensive efficiency.The glass-half-full case, if youre a Miami fan: A decent chunk of that defensive decline stems from opponents shooting a scorching 41.1% against the Heat on 3-point tries over the past month well above their full-season success rate, and a mark seemingly ripe for regression. Glass half empty? Led by LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller and Kon Knueppel, the Hornets ranked third in team 3-point accuracy this season, second in 3-point attempts and first in 3-point makes including 36 combined triples against Miami in their last twomeetings.If Spoelstra, Adebayo and Co. can find a way to limit the number and quality of 3-point looks that Charlottes able to generate, theyll have a shot to advance. But if they cant stop the drive-and-kick game in the man-to-man, and if the Hornets can exploit the openings in Miamis zone, a Charlotte offense thats been the NBAs best since mid-December may well send the Heat home for a long, hard summer.Whats your take on Blazers-Suns?Dan Devine: Can Portland take care of the ball? At its best, a Phoenix defense that features point-of-attack pests and physical ball-hawks like Dillon Brooks, Jordan Goodwin, Collin Gillespie and Oso Ighodaro applies the kind of ball pressure that can create mistakes. For the season, the Suns ranked third in opponent turnover percentage, fourth in steals and fifth in deflections; they forced turnovers on nearly 20% of Portlands offensive possessions across their three meetings this season.Interrupting and/or prematurely ending Blazers trips with a cough-up would be one hell of a way for the Suns to mitigate the significant physical advantages of a Portland squad that can battering-ram the paint with downhill drives by Deni Avdija, Jrue Holiday, Scoot Henderson and the just-returned Shaedon Sharpe, and hammer the offensive glass for second chances with Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams III. That size and physicality advantage could lead the Blazers to their first postseason victory of any kind in nearly five years if a team that ranked dead last in turnover rate this seasoncan manage to get its collective butterfingers under control.Jensen: There's no getting around the fact that the Suns have surprised us all. They have a top-10 defense, and the best player on the floor in Devin Booker, both of which are legitimate advantages, especially against a young team like the Blazers that is still trying to find its identity.However, the Blazers just have more potential outcomes in regards to players stepping up. Avdija, Sharpe, Jerami Grant, Holiday, and even Scoot Henderson can theoretically all explode for 30-plus, meaning there is simply a level of unpredictability with them that the Suns don't have.Adding fuel to Portland's fire is Toumani Camara, who has grown into one of the league's better 3-and-D wings. He's getting up outside shots at a high rate and is by far the best switchable defender on the floor.The Suns might be more seasoned, but are they outright better? It's tough to find a real argument on their behalf that isn't Devin Booker will find a way. Of course, that is indeed a real scenario we can't lose sight of.Iko: Can I call this the mystery box game? Im comfortable saying I have absolutely no idea how this one will shape out.The issue with Phoenix having Booker, Brooks and Jalen Green for all of 133 minutes across 10 games (barely breaking even, +0.7 net rating) is that the Suns cant really look at any of their three regular-season meetings with Portland as a base. Green appeared in one alone, so did Brooks, and the third had Booker and Brooks without Green. As I wrote last week, this team is essentially figuring itself out in real time, which can be extremely dangerous in these high-stakes one-offs.Im going to lean heavily into the possession game for this one. Both Portland and Phoenix are quality offensive rebounding units and both have a knack for forcing turnovers. (I must add, however, that Sharpe plus Clingan is an absolute terror on the glass, swallowing nearly 40% of the Blazers misses. Thats like two Steven Adams.)Expect Portland, with a number of ball stoppers in Holiday, Camara and Matisse Thybulle, to switch early and often against a Phoenix team that doesnt move the ball a ton and struggles against switches. This is going to be a slugfest that goes all the way down to the wire.Predictions: Who's advancing?Iko: Suns and Hornets.Im going with Phoenix, which has too much individual talent at home to allow a Blazers upset, and Charlotte, which should become the East team no one wants to see in a seven-game series.Devine: Suns and Heat. Ill take Phoenix, because I dont trust the Blazers on the road, and Miami, because weve all spent too much time enjoying the Hornets lately, and this is, at base, a cruel universe designed to humble us.Jensen: Suns and Hornets. Never bet against Devin Booker, who can almost single-handedly win you a game. I believe the Blazers are more fun to watch, but that is neither here nor there in the game of predictions. As for Heat-Hornets? Gimme something that buzzes, as it just feels like it's their time.0 Comments 0 Shares 13 Views 0 Reviews
