Pittsburgh 2016-17 basketball capsuleThe Associated Press=PittsburghLast season: 21-12, lost to Wisconsin in 2nd round of NCAA Tournament. Josh Reynolds Jersey.Nickname: Panthers.Coach: Kevin Stallings.Conference: Atlantic Coast.Whos gone: G James Robinson, G Sterling Smith, F Alonzo Nelson-Ododa.Whos back: F Jamel Artis. Senior forward will work as a point forward at time in Stallings new offense; F Michael Young. Senior forward has been model of consistency during his career. Will be given freedom to expand his offensive game beyond the back-to-the-basket basics that carried him to 15.7 points, 6.8 rebounds per game last season. F Cameron Johnson, has the length (6-foot-8) to be effective on both ends but needs to get stronger to avoid getting banged around.Whos new: Stallings. The longtime Vanderbilt coach left the Commodores after 17 years to replace Jamie Dixon, who bolted after a largely successful run with the Panthers to coach at TCU, his alma mater. G Justice Kithcart. Freshman stuck with his commitment after Jamie Dixon left for TCU and gives the Panthers someone who can push the pace. C Rozelle Nix. Big fella (6-foot-11, 300 pounds) redshirted last year but if the Panthers want Young to play away from the basket, having Nix provide productive minutes in the middle would help.The Skinny: Stallings and athletic director Scott Barnes both said the deciding factor on the hire was their shared belief Pitt has the tools to make it to the Final Four. While the Panthers are nowhere near that level, they should be competitive in the ACC if Young and Artis stay healthy and the guards make enough shots.Josh Reynolds Womens Jersey . The 17-year-old native of Marystown, N.L., pulled out of Skate Canada International last month in Saint John, N.B., with the same problem. Gerald Everett Rams Jersey . Hey!" The lower tier of the School End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12. http://www.laramsauthoritystore.com/Authentic-Cooper-Kupp-Rams-Jersey/ . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. OAKLAND, Calif. -- Steve Kerr joked around on what became a post-mosh Monday, feeling some of the natural pressure before his Golden State Warriors get going at last with all the weight of trying to win another NBA championship on their star-studded shoulders.The reigning NBA Coach of the Year said he cut short practice given Kevin Durants jostling in the mosh pit at a Kanye West concert the previous evening.He got a great workout last night, Kerr said with a smile.Kanye performed at Oracle Arena, where KD will become THE show Tuesday night for the defending Western Conference champions. And MVP Stephen Curry, too, of course.We all have pressure. Thats a good thing, Kerr said Monday. The alternative is, `Maybe we can win 30 this year instead of 25. Who wants that? Unfortunately, a lot of the teams in the league have that, teams that are going through rebuilding stuff, and theyre trying to get where we are. So were in a really enviable position. We know how lucky we are to be together with this group. We understand the responsibility that comes with it, and thats fine. Its a good position to be in.A day away from his highly anticipated Warriors debut, Durant insisted he had no idea just how much daily interest Golden State would generate before the season even began.How much Durants every move would be intently watched -- whether it was his concert-going or riding the BART train to get around.I never had a chance to get to a show. I was always moving around, Olympics and traveling a lot, Durant said of attending Wests show. Im glad he came through here. I was telling all my friends. Ive always told them I wanted to get in a mosh pit. It was amazing.Durant had no concerns about anything going wrong with all those people in tight quarters.Im covered, man. Im covered by a higher power upstairs, no matter what happens, he said.Four months after squandering a 3-1 series lead and losing Game 7 of the NBA Finals to LeBron James and Cleveland, the Warriors are ready to start fresh without any thought on chasing thee regular-season wins record they now hold at 73. John Johnson Jersey. . They will host San Antonio and Kerrs former coach and mentor, Gregg Popovich, on Tuesday night.Its the Spurs, so it makes it even more fun, Kerr said.Golden State also will honor TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager, who is fighting leukemia, with a special T-shirt for all fans at the opener.Kerr has said all along Durant would need time to adjust.Hes light years beyond where he was three weeks ago, Kerr said. Hes embracing the chaos, for sure.With Durant and so many new players, Kerr still expects everything to take time before the Warriors really start clicking. Kerr wasnt even on the bench for last seasons opener, missing the initial 43 games and a record 24-0 start while dealing with complications from a pair of back surgeries.Next week might be even bigger for Durant, whose former Oklahoma City Thunder visit on Nov. 3. Golden State rallied from 3-1 down to beat OKC in the Western Conference Finals.Durants departure was a big deal. It still is.I think theyre just looking for something to grab onto and make it a story, Durant said. We understand that. Thats one thing I actually didnt understand coming in here. Everythings going to be taken and used as a headline. Its definitely a learning experience for me not used to all this coverage around a team. Thats just part of the job. Thats why we get paid the way we do and thats why we are who we are as players. Youre kind of prone to criticism.New center Zaza Pachulia got a glimpse of the attention and hype surrounding the Warriors on media day last month.Hes ready to embrace it.We take it as a compliment because it means youre doing something right. It means youve got good talent here, it means that people want to know about you more than anybody else, he said. Its a huge year for us, a big season, kind of what we expected with a lot of expectations, a lot of eyes on us. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
