wanted to use Jerami

Rich Beem looks back at Adam Scotts Honda Classic victory, another near-miss for Sergio Garcia and how the PGA Tours older generation are proving a point to the sports young talent. It was nice to see Adam Scott follow a good week with a win this time around. He got out in front of Sergio Garcia and just kept him at arms length, doing something brilliant every time the Spaniard made a mistake.I think it takes even more guts to go and force an even-par 70 than it does to go out firing on all cylinders and make birdie after birdie. Scott and Garcia went head-to-head over the final two rounds at PGA National Just 13 players in this field finished under par this week, giving it an almost major-like feel to it, so hats off to Scott for going out there and finishing the job.Other players are going to look at him and what he has done with the change from long putter back to the short putter. He used to be a really good putter with the long putter and now he believes hes going to be a better player with the short putter for the rest of his career.Close contestScott was pretty much cruising on Saturday until the 15th, but from then on he had to really grind to finish better than anybody else. The older generation are really starting to show the newer generation that listen, we still know how to win, still want to win and were going to make you earn it. Rich Beem On Sunday he bogeyed the ninth and 10th, but had two wonderful shots at the 11th and then pushed Sergio away ever so slightly with that fairway bunker shot at 12. In the end that was barely enough.Scott kept his composure with the flat stick all weekend,with even that three-putt at the 16th not being that treacherous as it was from so far away.Garcia kept throwing everything at him but that unfortunate chip shot at 16 really derailed him and any chance he had of victory, while Scotts tee shot on 17 was a touch of class. Claude Harmon took a look at Adam Scotts swing during the Honda Classic The Spaniard made another bad bogey at 17, but that putt at the last that just trickled in over the front edge gave Adam something to think about.Big year ahead They both performed admirably and I think we might have been fearful for them, but it looked to me that they were both totally in control of their strokes throughout the last 36 holes.The older generation are really starting to tell the newer generation: listen, we still know how to win, still want to win and were going to make you earn it. Scott held on to claim a one-shot win over Garcia This week is the perfect example, with Rickie Fowler going out flawless over the first two rounds before struggling over the weekend to let a lot of players back in to the tournament.Youve got to think that one of the two will now get in to the mix in at least one, if not multiple majors this year. The way theyre both starting to come around with their putting, I wouldnt be surprised to see one of them taking home a major Championship this year.Sergios near-miss Garcias winless run on the PGA Tour continues Its interesting to hear that Sergio didnt feel like his swing was quite as strong as we thought it was. Im not too sure what hes sensing or feeling in his swing that makes him feel like its off a little bit, although it may be hes getting a little too steep with some of the clubs.I was looking at how he was performing over the first six or seven holes and he just wasnt quite firing. He kept leaving himself four or five footers on every other hole to save par, but saying that he holed very nicely. He also made some good saves at other holes, but we did see a little hiccup from him at the 11th where he just caught a bad patch of Bermuda grass.You sensed that he might start digging it in closer and holing a few more, but unfortunately that never happened for him. Still, a runner-up finish once again, where he performed very well, means hell now be looking forward to the next few events on the Florida Swing.The Florida Swing continues this week with the WGC-Cadillac Championship.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The biggest addition in the offseason for the Boston Celtics was Al Horford. When they swiped him from the Atlanta Hawks, the Celtics quickly gained the high expectations of competing with the top teams in the East.However, whenever the Celtics take on squads considered to be potential title contenders this season, they came up short in games against the likes of Golden State, Cleveland, San Antonio and Houston.That steak was extended to 0-6 on Friday after a 101-94 loss to the Toronto Raptors.While the Celtics (13-10) refuse to make excuses for the defeats, except pointing fingers at their own play, there are reasons why they havent been at their best against the best. Injuries to key players early in the season played a role.Horford missed games against the Cavaliers and Warriors. Jae Crowder was on the bench in street clothes right next to him. Against the Raptors, guard Isiah Thomas sat out as he nurses a groin pull.Publicly, Boston coach Brad Stevens is trying to convey the positives of having his best players miss games in that it gives role players an opportunity to play big minutes.Its always tough because youre kind of always managing a curveball here or there, Stevens told reporters. But I look at it as a good thing in the long run with regard to more people are getting opportunities. And maybe this expedites Jaylen Browns learning curve, expedites Terry Roziers learning curve. Theyre getting to see things and go through things and do things that maybe they dont get as much when were fully healthy. It is what it is. You prepare with who you have available and you move forward.Thomas has already been ruled out of Bostons game with the Oklahoma City Thunder (14-9) on Sunday night at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. But, while the Thunder may not be considered one of the best teams in the NBA, they have a player who is makking a claim to be considered the best in the league in Russell Westbrook.ddddddddddddWestbrook has a streak of seven consecutive triples-doubles, which ties him with the modern record of Michael Jordan in the 1988-89 season.However, with his last triple-double coming in a loss, Westbrook had no interest in talking about tying Jordan. His opponents had no problem discussing the feat.You could just make a whole documentary about him, Rockets coach Mike DAntoni said. With his energy level and the way hes playing and what hes doing for this team, its remarkable. When Im not coaching against him, its fun to watch, but it wasnt much fun tonight.The Celtics lay claim to having the longest streak in the NBA of not allowing a triple-double. The last player to earn a triple-double against Boston was John Wall in 2014.Hes an animal. Everybody in this league knows Russ is an animal, Bostons Marcus Smart told ESPN.com. He deserves the respect he gets. He earns it. With a guy like that, you just have to go out and play your best and hope to contain him. You know hes going to get his. You just have to stop those other guys.If Boston is able to slow down Westbrook, the Thunder needs to see more of the Steven Adams that they saw Friday. He set a career high with 24 points, yet didnt play down the stretch because coach Billy Donovan wanted to use Jerami Grant.Adams said a lot of his points were due to the attention given to Westbrook.They always do send two guys. They always try and put two guys on Russ, three guys, whatever, Adams said. The reason I got open was that their weakside wasnt actually pulling across like other teams would do. That allowed me to roll down the lane without being touched at all. I was getting free runs. ' ' '
