Going out on a limb this Christmas: Doug McIntyre

Christmas trees are hot this year. The real ones, not the fake ones. After decades in decline, natural Christmas trees are selling like hand sanitizer. Ten months of COVID, COVID, COVID, and endless election nonsense has flipped the script. Millions of us are leaving that polyvinyl chloride beauty we bought from Amazon a dozen years ago in storage and opting instead for a trip to the tree lot or farm to tie a 12-foot Douglas fir atop the mini-van. As 2020 crawls to a close, we want normal. Or so...

Lakers’ Talen Horton-Tucker making a case for himself

The condensed training camp schedule means a newcomer like Wesley Matthews is getting a crash course in his teammates, learning a little bit every day. The latest tidbit he got was from Kawhi Leonard, who approached him midgame Friday night to ask a question about Talen Horton-Tucker, who was carrying a lot of the Lakers’ offensive load: “Kawhi was like, ‘What’s this, Talen’s 19?’” Matthews recalled. “And I was like, ‘Huh, 19?’” Horton-Tucker is actually 20 years old, as of last month.

Team USA Announces 2021 World Juniors Team

The IIHF cancelled the women’s U18 tournament, as well as the the lower division U20 tournaments for the men.
