Haggerty: Big highs/lows for B's players at Olympics
It’s been a fascinating case study of different circumstances on different teams to watch the Boston Bruins players perform during the Olympic tournament thus far with varying degrees of deployment and effectiveness. Jeremy Swayman got the start for Team USA that he’d been waiting for on Saturday night against Team Denmark and Swayman and the Americans ended up getting the all-important win. But it wasn’t easy as Swayman allowed three goals on 21 shots and USA was down by a 2-1 score at the end of the opening period before opening up their awesome arsenal of explosive offense on the unwitting Danish.
The Jayson Tatum return game meant so much more than basketball
Jayson Tatum and Derrick White, with the biggest smiles of all, did their pre-game shoulder bump and ran out onto the hardwood. Calling it a scene out of a movie wouldn’t do the moment justice, because no film could accurately capture the emotions sprawling through the air of the building. White went first. Tatum was the last Celtic out of the tunnel. Bliss.
Haggerty: No easy answers when it comes to NHL's Olympic challenges
With the Winter Olympics now underway, the NHL population has scattered to the four corners of the world aside from the lucky ones representing each for their respective countries in Milan Cortina this month. The Bruins players were officially underway on Wednesday with Henri Jokiharju part of a Team Finland group that struggled big time I losing to Team Slovakia, even as Joonas Korpisalo didn’t see any action playing backup to Nashville netminder Juuse Saros. Still not exactly sure what Jokiharju was doing backing off Juraj Slafkovsky on Slovakia’s first goal and essentially covering the backdoor while allowing Slafkovsky an easy, open lane to the front of the net.

As students raced across the court, shooting layups and competing in basketball drills, one man stood out amongst the crowd.

Luka Garza helped the Boston Celtics and Dunkin’ unveil a new basketball court renovation at the Match Community Day school in Hyde Park on Tuesday afternoon.

Simone's Six: Payton Pritchard-palooza, a defensive examination, and rebounding in Celtics-Hawks

Hurley: What's really at stake in an A.J. Brown trade?
I wanted to provide one bit of perspective when it comes to the actual cost of acquiring A.J. Brown for the Patriots. The words "first-round pick" can mean a whole lot of things, so I thought it best to zero in on the exact area in the first round that the Patriots own their pick this year to try to provide some detail on the caliber of player that gets taken that late in the first. That way, perhaps we'll all be able to determine how we feel about coughing up a first-round pick, if that is indeed the high end of the asking price for Brown.

Simone's Six: Defensive chess, offensive checkers, and a Jayson Tatum update in Celtics-Wolves

Giardi: NFL Notebook - Where will the Patriots turn at defensive coordinator? Plus, could Crosby find his way to Foxboro?
Are Campbell and Jared Wilson better players than they were when they got to NE? I should hope so. But could the level of play been greater here in the postseason? Hard not to wonder, even with Campbell dealing with the knee.
