  • Steph Curry, Moses Moody graded in Warriors loss to Suns


    Well, that sure was ugly. The Golden State Warriors shot just 37.5% from the field on Friday, falling back to earth with a one-sided, 130-105 loss to the Phoenix Suns. Whatever momentum and confidence they built on Wednesday in defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder evaporated without a trade on Friday at the Chase Center.

    Now I must, unfortunately, grade the players. As always, grades are based on my expectations for each player, with a “B” grade representing the average performance for that player.

    Note: True-shooting percentage (TS) is a scoring efficiency metric that accounts for threes and free throws. Entering Friday’s games, league-average TS was 57.4%.

    Andrew Wiggins

    31 minutes, 17 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 1 foul, 6-for-20 shooting, 1-for-5 threes, 4-for-5 free throws, 38.3% TS, -26

    A weird game from Wiggins. He was one of the most active Warriors in so many phases, as he led the team in rebounds and assists, all without turning the ball over. And I was pretty impressed with his defense on Kevin Durant.

    He also could not buy a bucket, and while he was more than happy to hoist shot after shot, he didn’t seem very interested in trying to get good shots. It’s hard to knock a guy too much for shooting inefficiently when everyone around him was an offensive zombie, but it’s also hard to give a guy too much credit when he took almost as many shots as any two of his teammates combined, and made them at a ghastly clip.

    In summation … shrug.

    Grade: B-
    Post-game bonus: Tied for the team lead in points and rebounds, led the team in assists, worst plus/minus on the team.

    Gary Payton II

    12 minutes, 3 points, 3 rebounds, 1 turnover, 1 foul, 1-for-6 shooting, 0-for-1 threes, 1-for-2 free throws, 21.8% TS, -11

    Payton got the start and played some pretty strong defense on Devin Booker. He also missed a bunch of buckets at the rim, which is rare for him, and ultimately his lack of offense was too costly to allow his defense to stay on the floor.

    Grade: C

    Quinten Post

    19 minutes, 9 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 2 fouls, 3-for-9 shooting, 2-for-4 threes, 1-for-1 free throws, 47.7% TS, -17

    Post got a nice show of confidence by remaining in the starting lineup after Wednesday’s clunker. And he was much, much better in this one. He was a much bigger force in the paint, gobbling up rebounds and playing decent defense without fouling.

    He’s still learning how to score at the rim, though, as he was just 1-for-5 inside the arc in this game. The finishing ability will definitely come, though: he has good moves in the post to get clean looks, and he has great touch. It seems he’s just struggling a little bit with the increased size and speed of the NBA game, which is understandable for a player who entered the game having played just 108 total minutes in his career.

    Grade: B
    Post-game bonus: Tied for the team lead in rebounds.

    Buddy Hield

    19 minutes, 13 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 3 turnovers, 2 fouls, 5-for-7 shooting, 3-for-5 threes, 92.9% TS, -9

    It seems like the Warriors game plan was run, run, run, and no one took that to heart quite like Hield did. It seemed like every time he touched the ball he was rushing up the court as quickly as he could. It was energy and effort that the team sorely needed and, sadly, could not match.

    It also led to him finally catching fire on offense, and he was probably the team’s best player in the first half, and definitely their best shooter.

    It got a little ugly for him in the second half, but I can’t blame him too much since he was pressing out of desperation.

    Grade: B+

    Steph Curry

    31 minutes, 14 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers, 1 foul, 5-for-14 shooting, 1-for-6 threes, 3-for-3 free throws, 45.7% TS, -18

    For the second game in a row, Curry was held scoreless in the first quarter, and was a total non-factor in the first half. Unfortunately, he didn’t have a second-half turnaround on Friday like he did on Wednesday.

    It’s certainly not time to question whether Curry is falling off a little. But it is becoming clear that, between the roster’s issues, the offensive burden he carries, and his age, we’ve reached an unfortunate point where the Warriors usually need Curry to be the best player on the court to have a chance to win, and he’s not able to be that player as often as he once was.

    There’s no shame in getting outplayed by Durant and Booker in one game. But the Warriors just don’t have many paths to victory when that happens. A tough game for the Chef.

    Grade: C-

    Kevon Looney

    15 minutes, 2 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 3 fouls, 1-for-2 shooting, 0-for-1 free throws, 41.0% TS, -1

    A really strong defensive game for Looney, even though he didn’t bring Wednesday’s offensive excellence with him. He just didn’t impact the game all that much, but the defense really was impressive, minus the fouls.

    Grade: B
    Post-game bonus: Tied for the best plus/minus on the team.

    Gui Santos

    19 minutes, 5 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 1 turnover, 2 fouls, 1-for-3 shooting, 0-for-1 threes, 3-for-4 free throws, 52.5% TS, -4

    My favorite sequence in the game involved Santos. He took Durant one-on-one, crossed him over, blew by him easily, and laid the ball in. About 10 seconds later, Durant pulled up for a three directly in Santos’ face, and drained in, then gave the youngster a smack on the butt. It seemed a fun and competitive show of respect from the former Warrior to the current one.

    Grade: B-

    Moses Moody

    24 minutes, 17 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 foul, 5-for-10 shooting, 4-for-7 threes, 3-for-5 free throws, 69.7% TS, -6

    A fantastic Moody game. He had some critical threes to help keep the Warriors in the game early on, and was one of the few players who brought energy and effort all night long. The He played half the game, and the Warriors were outscored by six points when he was on the court and 19 points when he wasn’t. That feels about right.

    Grade: A
    Post-game bonus: Tied for the team lead in points.

    Dennis Schröder

    21 minutes, 5 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, 1 turnover, 4 fouls, 2-for-8 shooting, 1-for-5 threes, 0-for-2 free throws, 28.2% TS, -13

    I thought Schröder played pretty well everywhere except scoring. And it was a tough watch there, as the Suns dared him to shoot threes, which he obliged, but without success. Strong game elsewhere, though.

    Grade: B-

    Brandin Podziemski

    22 minutes, 14 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 turnovers, 2 fouls, 5-for-9 shooting, 4-for-7 threes, 77.8% TS, -6

    Post-injury Podziemski continues to be a brand new player, and it’s awesome. A little out of control in this one at times, but otherwise a great game from Podz.

    Grade: B+

    Kyle Anderson

    12 minutes, 4 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 turnover, 2-for-3 shooting, 0-for-1 threes, 66.7% TS, -7

    These Kyle Anderson minutes were, without a doubt, Kyle Anderson minutes.

    Grade: B

    Trayce Jackson-Davis

    9 minutes, 2 points, 1 rebound, 0-for-2 shooting, 2-for-2 free throws, 34.7% TS, -6

    After getting a DNP on Wednesday, TJD got back on the court on Friday, but not until late in the third quarter when the ship was sinking and the team was in desperation mode. Looked a little out of sorts.

    Grade: C

    Lindy Waters III

    6 minutes, 0 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal, 0-for-3 shooting, 0-for-2 threes, 0.0% TS, -1

    Just some garbage time for Waters, who is out of the rotation at the moment.

    Friday’s inactives: Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga, Jackson Rowe, Pat Spencer



    In the Golden State Warriors’ recent loss to the Phoenix Suns, both Steph Curry and Moses Moody put on a solid performance but ultimately fell short.

    Steph Curry, the two-time NBA MVP, led the Warriors with 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists. Despite his impressive scoring, Curry struggled from beyond the arc, shooting just 3-14 from three-point range. His ability to create shots for himself and others was evident, but the Suns’ defense made it difficult for him to find his rhythm.

    Rookie Moses Moody also had a strong showing, contributing 15 points off the bench. The 19-year-old showcased his scoring ability and confidence on the court, providing a spark for the Warriors in the second unit. Moody’s energy and hustle were key factors in keeping the game competitive.

    Overall, Curry and Moody both played well in the loss, but the Warriors were unable to overcome the Suns’ strong performance. As the team looks to bounce back, Curry and Moody will continue to be key players in their quest for success.

  • Sixers Bell Ringer: Virtuoso performance from Tyrese Maxey, career night from Guerschon Yabusele not enough in loss to Nuggets


    Sixers Bell Ringer Season Standings:
    Tyrese Maxey – 11
    Jared McCain – 8
    Joel Embiid – 7
    Paul George – 7
    Guerschon Yabusele – 4
    Kelly Oubre Jr – 2
    Ricky Council IV – 2
    KJ Martin – 2
    Justin Edwards – 2
    Adem Bona – 1

    The Sixers, riding the high of a four-game win streak, welcomed the team from the mile-high city to town for a Friday night tilt with Denver Nuggets and reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic.

    The Sixers were once again without the services of Joel Embiid, Paul George, Caleb Martin, Jared McCain, KJ Martin and Andre Drummond. The Nuggets were looking to get back in the win column after their first three-game losing skid of the season.

    The Sixers had a familiar face ring the bell for tonight’s game.

    The first quarter of this one was a thrilling back and forth affair. The Nuggets got out to an early eight-point lead, but the Sixers quickly surged back to take the lead behind a 13-4 run courtesy of five points apiece from Guerschon Yabusele and Tyrese Maxey that was capped off by a Justin Edwards three. Maxey put in 13 first-quarter points to go along with eight from Yabusele to lead the Sixers. A buzzer-beater heave from Julian Strawther would give the Nuggets a 38-36 advantage after one despite the Sixers hitting 8-of-12 from beyond the three-point arc.

    The second quarter was a lot of the same and would continue the high-octane contest. The Nuggets’ bench would continue to be a thorn in the Sixers’ side as Christian Braun and Julian Strawther would combine for 23 first-half points. Nikola Jokic did Nikola Jokic things and would head to the half with 13 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds. The Sixers were able to stay attached throughout the second quarter due in large part to Yabusele who would add 10 more points to his first quarter total for a grand total of 18 at intermission. Kelly Oubre had a big quarter to go alongside Yabusele to carry the Sixers offense with 18 points of his own.

    The undermanned Sixers, like they have often this season, struggled defensively to match up with the Nuggets personnel and surrendered 73 first half points. The Sixers trailed 73-69 at the half.

    The offensive explosion continued in the third quarter. The Sixers were carried by 16 third-quarter points from Maxey who continued to wow with his elite shot-making and touch. Yabusele continued to cook in his matchup vs. Jokic as he put in another 10 points in the quarter to give him a total of 28 and a new career high. The Sixers struggled to contain Jamal Murray who began to heat up throughout the period to lead the Nuggets with 27 points after three. A Ricky Council IV buzzer-beater three over Jokic pulled the Sixers within three at the close of the quarter. The Sixers trailed 103-100.

    Despite a herculean performance from Maxey and a career night from Yabusele the Sixers couldn’t get enough stops on Jokic down the stretch to pull out a victory. The Nuggets would snap their three-game losing streak with a 137-134 victory.

    Time for the Bell Ringer.

    Tyrese Maxey: 42 points, 9 assists, 15-of-26 from the field, 6-of-11 from three

    In a month of monster performances from Maxey this one may have been his best. From start to finish Maxey was in attack mode. The early season shooting and finishing struggles are far in the rearview now for Maxey. Whether it was getting to his patented step back three, showcasing fantastic touch and skill in the midrange with short jumpers and floaters, or blowing by defenders in a blur to the rim for a high array of difficult finishes, Maxey seemingly got whatever he wanted.

    Coming off being one of the most egregious All-Star snubs in recent memory Maxey continued to show regardless of what the fans, media, or coaches vote he is indeed an All-Star caliber player and one of the best scorers in this league. In a season that’s been filled with drama and adversity the Sixers’ 24-year-old guard continues to be a shining light and bring hope to a franchise that desperately needs it. Maxey would finish the game with 42 points — 12 of Maxey’s points came in the fourth quarter as himself and Jokic traded baskets down the stretch. The Sixers will surely regret Maxey not getting a touch on either of the team’s final two possessions.

    Guerschon Yabusele: 28 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals, 12-of-17 from the field, 4-of-7 from three

    Yabusele continues to show the Sixers that he is someone that they should not be looking to trade and rather somebody that they should be maneuvering in order to keep around long term. Yabusele, one of the best stories in all of basketball this year with his return to the NBA, poured in hyper-efficient career-high 28 points. Yabusele often defended by Nikola Jokic in this one made Jokic pay for his reluctance to leave the paint defensively and when he did Yabusele punished him with drives to the hoop for finishes at the rim. Yabusele, like he often has this season, got the Wells Fargo Center on its feet throughout with plays above the rim, throwing down thunderous dunks. Yabusele also continued to be the glue guy that he’s been all season by digging out loose balls, fighting on the offensive glass, playing with max effort defensively, and doing whatever it takes to try and help this Sixers team win.

    Two great performances to pick from tonight. Let us know who you got.

    The Philadelphia 76ers faced off against the Denver Nuggets in a thrilling matchup last night, but ultimately fell short in a close game. Despite the loss, there were some standout performances from individual players on the Sixers’ side.

    The Sixers’ bell ringer for the night was rookie guard Tyrese Maxey, who put on a virtuoso performance with a career-high 31 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Maxey showcased his scoring ability and playmaking skills, proving to be a bright spot for the team in the absence of key players.

    Additionally, Guerschon Yabusele had a career night off the bench, contributing 20 points and 8 rebounds in a solid showing. Yabusele’s energy and scoring punch provided a much-needed spark for the Sixers, but it wasn’t enough to secure the win against a tough Nuggets team.

    Despite the strong individual performances, the Sixers couldn’t overcome the Nuggets’ balanced attack and fell short in a closely contested game. However, the resilience and effort shown by Maxey, Yabusele, and the rest of the team is a positive sign moving forward.

    The Sixers will look to bounce back from this loss and continue to build chemistry and cohesion as they push towards the playoffs. With players like Maxey and Yabusele stepping up in key moments, the future looks bright for Philadelphia as they aim to make a deep postseason run.

  • The Cost of Data Loss: Importance of Backup and Recovery Plans

    The Cost of Data Loss: Importance of Backup and Recovery Plans


    In today’s digital age, data is one of the most valuable assets for businesses. From customer information to financial records, companies rely on data to operate effectively and make informed decisions. However, data loss can be a costly and devastating event for any organization.

    The cost of data loss can be significant, both in terms of financial losses and damage to a company’s reputation. According to a study by IBM, the average cost of a data breach is $3.86 million. This includes expenses such as lost revenue, legal fees, and costs associated with recovering lost data. In addition, data loss can also lead to a loss of customer trust and loyalty, as well as damage to a company’s brand image.

    To mitigate the risks associated with data loss, it is crucial for businesses to have a robust backup and recovery plan in place. A backup and recovery plan involves creating regular backups of data and storing them in a secure location. In the event of data loss, these backups can be used to restore lost information and minimize the impact on the business.

    There are several key reasons why having a backup and recovery plan is essential for businesses. Firstly, it provides peace of mind knowing that critical data is safe and secure. In the event of a cyber-attack, natural disaster, or human error, businesses can quickly recover lost data and resume operations without significant disruption.

    Secondly, a backup and recovery plan can help businesses comply with data protection regulations and avoid costly fines. With the implementation of laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), companies are required to protect customer data and ensure its confidentiality. Failure to do so can result in hefty penalties and damage to a company’s reputation.

    Lastly, a backup and recovery plan can also improve overall business efficiency and productivity. By having access to up-to-date and accurate data, employees can make informed decisions and perform their tasks more effectively. This can lead to increased customer satisfaction and revenue generation for the company.

    In conclusion, the cost of data loss can be significant for businesses, both financially and in terms of reputation. To mitigate these risks, it is essential for companies to have a robust backup and recovery plan in place. By investing in data protection measures, businesses can safeguard their valuable information, comply with regulations, and improve overall efficiency. Ultimately, having a backup and recovery plan is not just a good business practice – it is a necessity in today’s digital age.

By investing in reliable backup solutions, implementing robust security measures, and regularly testing their recovery procedures, businesses can protect their data, minimize financial losses, and maintain their reputation in the face of unexpected events. Don’t wait until it’s too late – start planning for data protection today.

  • Dejounte Murray ruptures Achilles tendon in Pelicans loss


    Jan 31, 2025, 10:19 PM ET

    New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray suffered a season-ending ruptured right Achilles tendon during Friday night’s 118-116 loss to the Boston Celtics.

    Murray drove into the lane and took a shot, then chased his miss. But he fell to the court and grabbed at the area near his right foot. When he got up, he hobbled toward the Pelicans bench.

    He was quickly ruled out with what the team said was an injury to his lower right leg.

    “Extremely difficult, when you see a guy that means so much to our team and puts the work in go down like that,” Pelicans coach Willie Green said after the game.

    The injury-riddled Pelicans were already playing without Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and Herb Jones as they fell to 12-37. Ingram, Williamson and Murray did not share the floor once this season.

    “Those are the challenges that we’ve been going through pretty much all season,” Green said.

    Murray, who missed 17 games earlier this season with a broken hand, is averaging 17.9 points per game and led the team in assists (7.4) and steals (2.0). He had four straight games with at least 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, tied for the longest streak of his career and the longest by a Pelicans player since Ingram in 2022.

    New Orleans entered Friday averaging 114.0 points in 30 games with Murray this season, which would tie for 13th in the NBA. But in 18 games without him, the Pelicans averaged just 102.4 points, which would be the lowest in the league.

But a lot of times God puts you through situations in order to give you a bigger message. I think that’s what’s happening right now. It’s not always easy to understand what he’s saying, but there always a reason.”

    The San Antonio Spurs suffered a devastating blow in their recent loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, as star point guard Dejounte Murray ruptured his Achilles tendon. The injury occurred in the second quarter of the game, and Murray had to be helped off the court by medical staff.

    Murray had been having a standout season for the Spurs, averaging 17.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game. His absence will be a huge loss for the team as they continue to push for a playoff spot.

    The Spurs have not yet released a timetable for Murray’s recovery, but Achilles tendon injuries are notoriously difficult to come back from. Our thoughts are with Dejounte Murray as he begins his journey towards recovery.

  • Data Loss Prevention: The Role of Backup and Recovery in IT Security

    Data Loss Prevention: The Role of Backup and Recovery in IT Security


    In today’s digital age, data loss prevention has become a critical concern for businesses of all sizes. With the increasing amount of sensitive information being stored and transferred online, the risk of data breaches and cyber attacks has never been higher. This is where backup and recovery solutions play a crucial role in IT security.

    Backup and recovery solutions are designed to protect against data loss by creating copies of important information and storing them in a secure location. In the event of a cyber attack, hardware failure, or accidental deletion, these backups can be used to restore lost data and minimize downtime.

    One of the key benefits of backup and recovery solutions is that they provide a safety net for businesses in the event of a data breach. By regularly backing up important information, businesses can ensure that even if their systems are compromised, they can quickly recover and restore their data without significant loss. This can help to mitigate the financial and reputational damage that can result from a data breach.

    In addition to protecting against data breaches, backup and recovery solutions also play a crucial role in disaster recovery planning. By having a comprehensive backup strategy in place, businesses can ensure that they are able to quickly recover from a wide range of disasters, including natural disasters, power outages, and hardware failures. This can help to minimize downtime and ensure that business operations can quickly resume following a disaster.

    It is important for businesses to regularly review and update their backup and recovery strategies to ensure that they are able to effectively protect against data loss. This includes regularly backing up important information, testing backups to ensure they are working correctly, and storing backups in secure and off-site locations to protect against physical threats.

    In conclusion, backup and recovery solutions play a crucial role in data loss prevention and IT security. By implementing a comprehensive backup strategy, businesses can protect against data breaches, disaster events, and other threats that can result in data loss. It is essential for businesses to prioritize data protection and invest in robust backup and recovery solutions to safeguard their sensitive information and ensure business continuity.

  • Disaster Recovery Best Practices: Strategies for Minimizing Downtime and Data Loss

    Disaster Recovery Best Practices: Strategies for Minimizing Downtime and Data Loss


    In today’s digital age, businesses rely heavily on their data and IT infrastructure to operate efficiently. However, disasters such as natural disasters, cyber attacks, and hardware failures can disrupt operations and lead to significant downtime and data loss. This is why having a solid disaster recovery plan in place is crucial for businesses to minimize the impact of such events.

    Disaster recovery best practices involve implementing strategies and processes to ensure that critical systems and data can be quickly restored in the event of a disaster. By following these best practices, businesses can minimize downtime and data loss, and ultimately protect their bottom line.

    One of the key best practices for disaster recovery is to regularly back up data. This includes backing up both on-site and off-site, as well as using multiple backup methods such as cloud storage, external hard drives, and tape backups. By regularly backing up data, businesses can ensure that they have a recent copy of their data that can be quickly restored in the event of a disaster.

    Another important best practice is to test the disaster recovery plan regularly. This involves running simulations of potential disaster scenarios to ensure that the plan is effective and can be executed smoothly. By testing the plan regularly, businesses can identify any weaknesses or gaps in the plan and make necessary adjustments to improve its effectiveness.

    It is also important to prioritize critical systems and data in the disaster recovery plan. By identifying and prioritizing critical systems and data, businesses can focus their efforts on restoring these systems first in the event of a disaster. This can help minimize downtime and ensure that the most important systems are up and running as quickly as possible.

    In addition, having a communication plan in place is crucial for effective disaster recovery. This includes establishing communication channels with employees, customers, and stakeholders to keep them informed of the situation and any steps being taken to restore operations. Clear communication can help minimize confusion and ensure that everyone is on the same page during a disaster.

    Overall, disaster recovery best practices are essential for businesses to minimize downtime and data loss in the event of a disaster. By regularly backing up data, testing the disaster recovery plan, prioritizing critical systems, and establishing a communication plan, businesses can be better prepared to handle any potential disasters that may arise. By investing in disaster recovery best practices, businesses can protect their data and operations, and ultimately ensure their long-term success.
