Herzlich Willkommen » San Franciscos starting lineup

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Houston Rockets will try to become the NBAs first 4-0 team Monday night when they visit the Wells Fargo Center to take on the Philadelphia 76ers. The Rockets have enjoyed an easy schedule thus far in the 2014-15 campaign with road wins over the Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz, then a home victory over the Boston Celtics on Saturday. Those three teams own a combined 3-7 record. The Sixers are winless early in the season, and they can become the Eastern Conferences first 0-4 squad. The Lakers own that ugly record out west. Against the Celtics, Houston built a 14-4 cushion in the first quarter and never looked back. They posted a wire-to-wire, 104-90 victory. All three of Houstons wins this season have seen the team go over the 100- point plateau. The Rockets rank seventh in the league in scoring and their plus-43 scoring margin over opponents is the highest through the first three games in franchise history since the 1993-94 team was a plus-45. That squad, led by Hakeem Olajuwon, won the NBA title that season. James Harden filled the stat sheet with 26 points, eight rebounds, six assists and four steals versus the Cs. Terrence Jones posted 25 points and 10 rebounds for the Rockets and Dwight Howard finished with 14. I like the spirit of the team. Theyre willing to work and if youre willing to work, youre going to get better, Rockets head coach Kevin McHale said. Point guard Patrick Beverley is questionable with a strained left hamstring. He missed the win over the Celtics. The Sixers fell to 0-3 thanks to a 114-96 setback in their home opener Saturday against the Miami Heat. Its the first 0-3 start for the team since 2010-11. Tony Wroten had 21 points and 10 assists for the Sixers to lead the way. Brandon Davies netted a career-high 18 points and Hollis Thompson added 10 in the setback. The Sixers shot an admirable 52.2 percent, but went ice cold in the fourth quarter. Philadelphia was limited to 4-of-15 shooting from the field and 0- for-5 from beyond the arc over the final 12 minutes. That performance came one night after failing to score a single point over the final 8:21 in a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. We were good for three periods, said Sixers coach Brett Brown. We didnt roll over. Ive seen fantastic signs in our first three games. The NBA, players are so good. Its unforgiving. Mondays game will be the second of a four-game homestand which will see Orlando and Chicago come to the City of Brotherly Love. These two teams split two meetings last season, but Houston has lost three straight in Philadelphia. Jordan Baratas Online . He never mentioned anything about his hitting. The 33-year-old right-hander had success with both Sunday, pitching six solid innings and helping the offence-starved Mets with an RBI single as New York salvaged a doubleheader split with a 4-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Jordan Outlet España . Jacobs scored two in the first end, but Jahr briefly took charge with two in the second end and two more in the third. Jacobs, from Sault. Marie, Ont., gave Canada some breathing room, following his big fourth end by adding two more points in the fifth to go up 7-4. https://www.zapatillasbaratasspain.es/za...ine-d988.html.C. -- Ryan Sproul scored the winner late in double overtime to lift the Grand Rapids Griffins to a 2-1 win over the Abbotsford Heat on Friday in Game 1 of their American Hockey League playoff series. Air Max Baratas Hombre . - Robert Griffin III has a sprained throwing shoulder that limited him in practice Wednesday as the Washington Redskins prepared for their season finale against the Dallas Cowboys. Air Max Mujer Baratas . Rockies manager Walt Weiss was unhappy, too. Weiss addressed the issue in a 15-minute meeting with his pitcher and catcher after the Rockies gave up 14 hits and lost 10-1. De La Rosa lasted only 4 1-3 innings and allowed five runs in his first opening-day start.WASHINGTON - Left-hander Ross Detwiler was left off the Washington Nationals roster for their NL division series against the San Francisco Giants, while former closer Rafael Soriano made the 25-man cut Friday.San Francisco outfielder Michael Morse, who played for Washington from 2009-12, was not on the Giants roster. He hit .279 with 16 homers and 61 RBIs this season, but hes had only two at-bats since Aug. 31, because of a strained oblique muscle.Is he 100 per cent? No, manager Bruce Bochy said, adding that Morse might be sent to the instructional league to get work in. Taking that into play, along with he hadnt faced pitching in about a month, we just decided to go with (Gary) Brown. He would give us a few more options versus the one pinch hit appearance maybe by Morse.Right-handers Tim Hudson and Ryan Vogelsong, who were not active for the Giants 8-0 wild-card victory at Pittsburgh on Wednesday, returned to the roster. Hudson will start Game 2 on Saturday, while Bochy said Vogelsong or Yusmeiro Petit could start Game 4.The teams had to submit their rosters about five hours before the Nationals hosted the Giants in Game 1. Both went with 12 pitchers and 13 position players.The Giants also included rookie reliever Hunter Strickland, who made his major league debut in September. The 26-year-old righty didnt allow a run in seven innings and was on the Giants roster for the wild-card game.Detwiler is a former starter who spent the regular season in the bullpen, mostly working in long relief. He went 2-3 with a 4.00 ERA in 63 innings across 47 appearances. The last time the Nationals were in the playoffs, in the 2012 NLDS against St. Louis, Detwiler started Game 4 a€” which Washington needed to win to avoid elimination a€” and allowed one unearned run in six innings.It is disappointing for anybody, for sure, especially being here the whole season, manager Matt Williams said, explaining that the Nationaals figured they only needed two lefty relievers and went with Matt Thornton and Jerry Blevins.ddddddddddddoriano began this season as the closer and converted 22 of 24 save opportunities with a 0.97 ERA before the All-Star break. Since then, though, he blew five of 15 save chances, and Drew Storen took over the ninth-inning role in September as Washington won the NL East and finished with a league-high 96 wins.He is one of the reasons why we are here. Was the premier closer in the first half of the season, Williams said about Soriano. Went through mechanical issues, and has worked diligently to resolve those. I think he is where he needs to be.Williams indicated that Ryan Zimmerman, who returned in late September from a strained right hamstring, will mostly be used as a pinch hitter but the team will look at the possibility of starting Zimmerman against left-hander Madison Bumgarner in Game 3.Other reserves for Washington include Danny Espinosa, Kevin Frandsen and Nate Schierholtz. Backup outfielder and pinch hitter Scott Hairston, a 34-year-old hoping to be in the playoffs for the first time in his 11-year major league career, did not make the NLDS roster.Washingtons Game 1 lineup was exactly as expected, with centre fielder Denard Span leading off, followed by third baseman Anthony Rendon, right fielder Jayson Werth, first baseman Adam LaRoche, shortstop Ian Desmond, left fielder Bryce Harper, catcher Wilson Ramos, second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera, and right-handed pitcher Stephen Strasburg, set to make his post-season debut.San Franciscos starting lineup Friday: centre fielder Gregor Blanco, second baseman Joe Panik, catcher Buster Posey, third baseman Pablo Sandoval, right fielder Hunter Pence, first baseman Brandon Belt, shortstop Brandon Crawford, left fielder Travis Ishikawa, and right-hander Jake Peavy.___Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
