Home has never felt sweeter for the Portland Timbers than it does right now.Portland (9-11-8) returns home to host Real Salt Lake on Saturday after dropping its fourth consecutive road match.The Timbers fell to FC Dallas 3-1 last Saturday after Mauro Diaz and Victor Ulloa each scored first-half goals and Walker Zimmerman put home a header early in the second half. It marked the fifth loss in seven games for Portland.The setback also kept Portland winless away from home in 2016. The Timbers have not won a road game since their final road match of the 2015 season.One issue has been a leaky defense. Portland conceded multiple goals for a fourth consecutive game and has allowed a total of 10 goals in that stretch.It has prevented Diego Valeri from doing more damage with his offensive fireworks. Valeri scored his 11th goal of the season against Dallas -- matching his MLS career high set in 2014. He has tallied four goals over the last eight matches for the Timbers.Defensive issues could pose a problem against a suddenly potent Salt Lake offense. RSL (12-8-8) extended its home unbeaten streak to 14 games after rallying for a 3-3 draw against the Los Angeles Galaxy on Wednesday night.Joao Plata scored a pair of second-half goals to keep Real within striking distance. Juan Manuel Martinez booted the equalizer in the final minute of stoppage time to help Salt Lake salvage a point.Plata has been a highly dangerous playmaker all season. The forward leads RSL in both goals (9) and assists (11).Salt Lake and Portland have met twice this season, with both matches ending in a 2-2 draw. The Timbers have not beaten Real at home since 2011, playing to draws in five straight contests since that time. Cethan Carter Jersey . You can watch the game live on TSN at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. The Flyers had won seven of eight before dropping their last two outings on consecutive days over the weekend. Philadelphia was handed a 6-3 loss by the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday afternoon before dropping a 4-1 decision to the Rangers the following night in New York City. Malik Jefferson Jersey . The No. 1-ranked Nadal tweaked his back warming up for the Australian Open final, which he lost almost four weeks ago in a major upset against Stanislas Wawrinka. His first stop after the layoff is the clay in Rio as he tests the back and tries to stay healthy for the French Open in three months. http://www.cheapbengalsjerseyselite.com/?tag=cheap-jordan-brown-jersey . Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. KeiVarae Russell Jersey .com) - The Montreal Canadiens will try to halt their longest losing streak of the season when they host the struggling New York Islanders in tonights clash at the Bell Centre. B.W. Webb Jersey . Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable. As most of the NBA retooled during the offseason, a superteam was being constructed by the Bay. With the addition of Kevin Durant, the Warriors look to be an all-new beast. Their infamous Death Lineup -- a spread-out and fast-paced attack that terrorized opponents en route to an unprecedented 73 regular-season wins -- is now revamped with one of the leagues top-3 talents, a former MVP still in his prime. If last seasons Warriors had the Death Lineup, this years squad, at least on paper, represents the peak version of Steve Kerrs rhythmic, flowing offense: the Ultimate Warriors.But such a nickname raises the question: With all of the talent league-wide, is there anyone that could possibly challenge these Ultimate Warriors? In searching for a No. 1 contender in this NBA landscape, Second Spectrum has pieced together a unit that would be worthy of the title belt, a five-man tag team who could endure such a grueling undertaking. Banding together to take down the Ultimate Warriors, we present (naturally), The Undertakers: a carefully curated collection of players from around the league who possess comparably elite skill and could pose a threat to Golden States quest for the title.This dream matchup would be a showdown for the ages, but who would come out victorious? Thats for you to decide. Stephen Curry vs. Russell WestbrookChef Curry, the man with the golden wrist, has the highest Quantified Shooter Impact (qSI)* in the league on 3s, shooting 19 percent better than expected given his Quantified Shot Quality (qSQ).*Westbrooks tireless legs have him leading the pack at No. 1 in the league on direct drives (when he is looking to score or assist). Kevin Durant vs. Giannis AntetokounmpoKDs incredible wingspan allows him to get off a shot in nearly any situation. He has the highest Quantified Shooter Impact (qSI) in the league on 2-pointers, shooting 11 percent better than expected given his Quantified Shot Quality (qSQ).One of the Greek Freaks superhuman attributes, his nimmble feet keep him ahead of elite scorers.dddddddddddd In 43 matchups, he held KD to his third-fewest shots and second-fewest points per 100 possessions. Draymond Green vs. Karl-Anthony TownsAs The Core of the Warriors, Dray brings his teammates to another level. He passed it to shooters nearly two times more than any other big man, creating shots with the third-best qSQ of any big.Young KATs long arms make him a force to be reckoned with. The reigning Rookie of the Year notches the highest Quantified Shooter Impact (qSI) of any big man, shooting 7 percent better than expected given his shot quality. Andre Iguodala vs. LeBron JamesIggys workhorse legs power one of the leagues elite defenders. He was able to force LeBron to jack up shots with the lowest Quantified Shot Quality (qSQ) of any defender in the league.If you come at the King, you best not miss. LeBron holds the throne as the only player in the league in the top five for both offensive and defensive points per 100 possessions. Klay Thompson vs. Kawhi LeonardWhen it comes to catch-and-shoot opportunities, Klay is the definition of lights out. He shot a blistering 66 percent eFG on 543 Catch & Shoot 3-pointers, tallying over 100 more of these attempts than any other player.When the two-time Defensive Player of the Year is locking down a shooter, he flexes the No. 2 Quantified Shooter Impact (qSI) on defense, forcing his opponent to shoot 6 percent below expectation. *Quantified Shot Quality (qSQ)?is how hard the shot is at the time of release if an average NBA player was taking a similar shot. Similarity is based on factors such as shot distance, defender position, shot type, etc.*Quantified Shooter Impact (qSI)?is how much better a player shoots compa
