The umpires baffled both coaches.But Hawthorns Alastair Clarkson and Port Adelaides Ken Hinkley say they wont be overly critical of some bewildering calls in their Thursday night AFL fixture.Whether it was for Hawthorn or against Hawthorn ... there was just a patch there where not too many on the ground knew why the free kicks were getting paid, Clarkson said after the Hawks 22-point win at Adelaide Oval.Clarkson partly blamed himself for stoking the fires with his pre-game comments which questioned Ports ability to handle Hawthorns physical style.They (umpires) knew this game was going to be pretty hot. I probably added fuel to the fire yesterday with some of my comments, he said.He said AFL was incredibly hard to umpire.Our game is the most complex and difficult game in the world, Clarkson said.I can only imagine because its so hard to play and coach, it must be really bloody tough to umpire.And we have got to tip our lids off to them really, they do a marvellous job.But like anything, you sit and wonder `geez, why did he handball there, or why did he kick it there - well, sometimes you wonder why did the umpire make that decision.But by and large they do a pretty good job for our code.Hinkley said both teams were confused by the officiating.Not just our team. It wasnt just our way or against, Hinkley said.The umpires have a tough job, theres no doubt about that. But theres some clarity in some things which would be nice.Its a challenge. Its a fierce contest. They umpire what they see and sometimes they might not always get it right but I dont think that is deliberate in any way, it just happens.I wont be having a crack at umpires because I think they do a great job.But its a hard game to umpire, its as simple as that. Kyle Juszczyk Super Bowl Jersey . The Lightning are 2-0 so far on a four-game road trip, giving the club five straight wins as the guest and improving Tampas away record this season to 11-8-2. Tarvarius Moore Super Bowl Jersey .875,000, avoiding arbitration. Clippards deal Monday means all eight Nationals players who filed for arbitration wound up settling before a hearing. http://www.authenticsf49erspro.com/Robbie-gould-49ers-jersey/ . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . Fred Warner Super Bowl Jersey . Isner, ranked No. 14, won his eighth career singles title and took the title in New Zealand for the second time after his victory in 2010. The match was similar to Isners quarterfinal victory over fifth-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber which went to three sets, all tiebreaks and contained no breaks of serve. Deebo Samuel Super Bowl Jersey .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo. OAKLAND -- Its taken Kevin Durant all of three days to restructure the paradigm for the 2016-17 Golden State Warriors.He doesnt have to fit in with us, Andre Iguodala said. We have to fit in with him.Durants ability is that transcendent. Hes been so assertive in scrimmages that he stands out even on a court that has three other members of last seasons All-Star team and the back-to-back Most Valuable Player.He dominates play when hes on the floor, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. Hes a dominant offensive player, which is a great thing.So Durant has already plopped down on the Warriors couch and put his feet on the living room table. And he just got clearance to head to the refrigerator and grab a beer.I shot a lot today, and Draymond [Green] told me I wasnt aggressive enough, Durant said. Thats great for me. Hes basically telling me to shoot more. Everybodys trying to make me feel comfortable.Its significant that Green has signed off on this. He might end up being the starter whose offensive touches are most affected by Durants arrival. Last season Green averaged 82 touches per game, right up there with Stephen Currys 86 (and four more than LeBron James 78). Durant managed to finish third in the NBA in scoring despite significantly fewer touches per game in Oklahoma City (65). His touches should elevate simply because the ball moves more frequently in the Warriors offense, but even if he maintains those 65 touches, it would be almost 20 more per game than the player hes replacing, Harrison Barnes, who signed a free-agent contract with the Dallas Mavericks in July. That means someone else will have to dip.When Kevin Garnett joined Paul Pierce and Ray Allen in Boston, the individual numbers declined for all three. That was actually a key to their success. These Warriors are different. They cant all recede. They need someone to step forward when the games matter most.Thats just part of basketball, Durant said. Its going to happen. You never know who itll be. Thats what makes it so dangerous. From Steph to Klay [Thompson] to me, S. Dot [Shaun Livingston], Draymond, Andrre .dddddddddddd.. all of us can take over the game. Its not even about scoring. Its about having an impact. I think thats what everybody brings.NBA basketball still revolves around the stars leading their teams. Its a team sport featuring great individuals. LeBron snatched the NBA Finals from the Warriors. The Warriors wouldnt have even been there if not for Klay Thompsons historic shooting night in Game 6 of the conference finals. And so on. There are some exceptions, such as the 2014 San Antonio Spurs or the 2004 Detroit Pistons, but theres a reason those types come along only once a decade.Durant is fresh off being the star among stars in the gold-medal game of the Rio Olympics, when he scored 30 points.My thing is, I impose my will by scoring, when we need it, Durant said. I can do the other things, but Im highlighted by my scoring and how efficient I can put the ball in the basket and try to search out good shots for our group. I think whatever team I played on, thats what calmed us down, is me trying to get a good shot vs. just shooting and trying to score. Thats the type of game I play.Just from the first few days of practice, Ive been playing the same way Ive played my whole life.So far theres been no need to do anything different. He is aware of where he is and who hes playing with, though. Just before Durant met with the media, he wandered over to the basket where Currys post-practice shooting drill was underway, Durants eyes following the parabolas of Currys 3-pointers. Then Curry shifted toward the baseline, and Durant dutifully stepped off the court to give him more space.Keep in mind, Curry had a slightly higher usage rate than Russell Westbrook last season, and we all remember the speculation about who would have the ball in Oklahoma City. Durant managed to get his shots (about 20 per game), and the Warriors will carve out room for him in his new setting. From the sound of things, he wont feel guilty about taking them. ' ' '
