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.

Bill Russell Once Explained Why He Didn't Bother With Celtics Fans: "When I Was A Star, The Fans Called Us The 'Boston Globetrotters' Because The Celtics Had Black Players."

While the NBA is a beacon for freedom and tolerance in America, things didn't start off that way. In a place like Boston, during the 50s and 60s, racial tension was a pretty serious problem, and superstar big man Bill Russell had to deal with it on a game-to-game basis. Today, it can be hard for us to imagine just how difficult being a black basketball player really was back then. Fortunately, we have some clips: "The number one paper was the Boston Herald and they didn't like the idea of an NBA team having black players. Out there, the star was Bob Cousy. No matter what I did, Cousy was the star. I remember I had a game where I had 25 points, 25 rebounds, 10 blocks, and the Boston Herald said I was lucky to play with Cousy." Unfortunately, the media didn't give Russell his respect back then. Despite being the best player on the court, and on his team, Cousy and others always got the spotlight. Even the fans weren't very accepting of Bill: "I didn't...

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...

Sixers' James Harden backs teammate Joel Embiid for MVP: 'He deserves it, man'

James Harden has been a member of the Philadelphia 76ers for less than two months, but that's been more than enough time for him to appreciate the brilliance of Joel Embiid. The duo is expected to help the Sixers compete for a championship, but Harden believes another trophy should be on its way to Philly this year. In an interview with Ramona Shelburne of ESPN, Harden backed Embiid for MVP, saying "he deserves it, man." "I've only been here for a few weeks, but I already see his mindset," Harden said. "He wants to win. Some guys just want numbers, but he has both. He has the mentality of winning, and he scores the ball at a high level. I think he's prepared himself, especially coming off last year, for this year to be one of his best years." This has indeed been one of Embiid's best years. He's averaging a career-high 29.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.4 blocks while shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 35.8 percent f...
