Those four films, and ” Minions “, all topped billion in ticket sales, the first time that has happened in a single year. Closing-out the top-five this weekend was the animated-comedy from FOX called ” Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip “.
The Warriors didn’t do anything differently than they have all season. They also played without the suspended Markieff Morris, and assistant coaches Jerry Sichting and Mike Longabardi were fired earlier Monday. Over his last 10 games, Barton is averaging 19.8 points per game to go along with 6.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists per contest.

By all accounts Roethlisberger is a great teammate but according to Bleacher Report that has not always been the case. One poorly executed running play later, Pittsburgh’s fourth-and-1 turned into a first down for the Ravens.
It’s the second time in as many games James has mentioned the Cavs’ lack of rotations as a problem. He didn’t stop there though as James also moved past Stephon Marbury for 22nd place for most assists in league history in the Cavs victory over the Suns. “I was struggling a lot”. He’s had one double-digit game that was against the young Orlando Magic with 17 points.

Kohlhausen, a redshirt senior, will never play college football again, but he might never buy a drink in Fort Worth again, either. During the three and a half regular season games Adams sat out due to injury this year, the Ducks played downright poor football.
After that, Kyrie Irving made a killer three on a broken play as their shot clock expired.
Hard to imagine many raising their hands. It was easy to ignore last season since his backup Tristan Thompson came in and played at a different level, but when a team is losing in the fashion that the Cavaliers are, it becomes very noticeable.
The Blazers did not get out completely unscathed, however, as Ed Davis suffered a sprained left ankle in the fourth quarter and did not return. Could Mozgov potentially be on the way out? The Cavaliers are 19-8 and the Trail Blazers are 11-20, but anything’s possible when it comes to the National Basketball Association. Yet, without their best ball handler, they had just nine.
Portland’s Damian Lillard missed his third consecutive game because of plantar fasciitis in his left foot. James was 4-of-13. He missed all six of his shots outside the paint, including an 0-for-3 night from beyond the arc. Intuitively, it seems that Blatt/James are probably right; integrating Iman Shumpert and Irving into the rotation is throwing off all the unit chemistry built over the first 25 games.
Portland led throughout except in the game’s first minute. “We’re not a bad team all of the sudden”, he said. We had rotations, Coach Blatt had rotations down, so we got to get back to that. He had a similar issue with Irving at the beginning of last season. Blatt soon removed his starters, and they were not to return. But the All-Star big man played less than 13 foul-plagued minutes. They made two of their first three attempts to start the second half.
They sometimes play and act like they have won something when they have won nothing.
The Blazers increased the difference to 40-16 before the Cavaliers answered with an 8-0 spurt that cut the gap to 40-24.

With Eric Bledsoe scheduled for left knee surgery in the morning and hours after a shake-up to the coaching staff, the Phoenix Suns could’ve felt sorry for themselves and failed to show up for the finale of the three-game homestand. Although he still isn’t exactly where he wants to be nor at the level we have seen him before, the flashes of offensive brilliance and the clutch shooting are encouraging.
