PSG and Lionel Messi booed by home fans in Ligue 1 win after Champions League disappointment

Paris Saint-Germain beat Girondins de Bordeaux 3-0 at Parc des Princes on Sunday as the French giants were given a bitter reception by their irate supporters after their UEFA Champions League exit at the hands of Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Leandro Paredes scored the goals as Mauricio Pochettino's men eased past the basement dwellers in the capital but that did not stop the home fans from booing and giving their players a hard time.

Lionel Messi was one of those singled out by unhappy fans just days after the ultras demanded wholesale changes at the top of the capital club including the departure of chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

"It was difficult during the game," admitted head coach Pochettino after the game. "We can understand the frustration and disappointment of the fans. We feel the same and we are all together in this immense frustration of not progressing. The whistles were for everyone -- we are together as a team. It is a really sad situation, but we cannot change what has happened."

Mbappe opened the scoring after 24 minutes from a Georginio Wijnaldum assist before Neymar added a second after being teed up by Achraf Hakimi early in the second half only to be jeered for putting the ball in the back of the net.

Paredes completed the scoring at 3-0 but the result and performance was secondary to the fans' collective anguish after another PSG Champions League capitulation, which followed Barcelona's Remontada and Manchester United's improbable comeback in Paris.

"We understand their disappointment, the hatred and their jeering," insisted Presnel Kimpembe post-match. "We are professionals, and you must know how to stay focused. We were all at fault and nobody more than anyone else. We are together as a team when things are going well and not so well. Now we must show character and that we are a team."

PSG have opened a provisional 15-point lead at the Ligue 1 summit but have nothing left to play for aside from the French title after exiting the Coupe de France against OGC Nice as well as Europe and that is expected to factor into Mbappe's thinking as he considers his future with his contract expiring.

From Deep: At long last, Nikola Jokic's Nuggets can envision getting to the top of the mountain

Jamal Murray tore his ACL on April 12, 2021. Leading up to that night, he'd been playing at an All-NBA level for two months: In a 25-game stretch, Murray averaged 24.1 points on .509/.459/.935 shooting splits, 4.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He was even more efficient than he was in the bubble playoffs, and his defense had improved, too. Murray only got to play with Aaron Gordon, the Denver Nuggets' big trade-deadline addition, for five games. They won them all except the one in which Murray got injured. In 110 minutes, their new starting five scored slightly more efficiently than any iteration of the Kevin Durant-era death lineup in Golden State and defended like a top-five team. Two Nikola Jokic MVP awards later, Murray is back. So is Michael Porter Jr., who signed a five-year extension about a year ago and needed back surgery nine games into the 2020-21 season. The Nuggets remember how easily everything slid into place with Gordon in the mix. Newcomer Kentavious Caldwell-Pop...

Klay Thompson to sit out Warriors preseason games in Japan as Kerr says he needs more time to ramp-up

Klay Thompson may have returned healthy to the Golden State Warriors last season, but the scars from his two missed seasons are still quite visible. The Warriors played their first of two preseason games against the Washington Wizards on Friday and will play another on Sunday, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that Thompson will not be playing at all during the trip to Japan. "Just feel more comfortable giving him a little more of a ramp up," Kerr said before Friday's victory over Washington. "He's just not quite ready to play at this point just based on where, you know, we're so early in camp. We just want to be safe and make sure he gets a good ramp-up before he plays in games." Typically, so little time to ramp up wouldn't be a problem for a veteran in a preseason context. The games tend to be so low-impact and demand so few minutes out of a team's best players that they can safely jog through them. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green played 1...

LeBron James says he has 'no relationship' with Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

It's not a matter of if LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the No. 1 spot on the NBA's all-time scoring list, it's when. James sits just 1,326 points away from passing the Hall of Famer and Los Angeles Lakers legend, a milestone that should happen at some point this season given James is still performing at peak levels and is coming off a year in which he averaged over 30 points a night. If he averages around the same amount of points as he did a season ago for the Lakers, James could break the record somewhere in the middle of the season, assuming he stays healthy. It's a highly anticipated moment heading into the season, but in regards to LeBron's thoughts about and his relationship with Abdul-Jabbar, he didn't have much to say on the matter. Following the Lakers first preseason game Monday night, a reporter asked James what his thoughts were on the Lakers legend and if the two had any relationship, to which LeBron gave a very short answer. "No...
