ByDiamondLeung BayAreaNewsGroup LAJOLLA LosAngelesClip- pers coach Doc Rivers con- tinues to field questions about the Warriors' com- ments about his own com- ments, and he continues to be taken aback. "I'm really surprised how sensitive they are about it," Rivers told reporters Mon- day. "They are the champi- ons, so they can just be the champions." But the Warriors have actually toned down their rhetoric about the Clippers in advance of Tuesday's pre- season meeting at Staples Center. AskedaboutRivers'latest comments, Warriors guard KlayThompsonsaid,"Idon't want to talk about Doc. I'm sick of talking about that dude. Sorry, man." Thompson, who had previously fired back and scoffed at Rivers' quotes about luck and the War- riors'championship,wasnot alone among teammates to take a less irritated tone to- ward the Clippers. Draymond Green after expressing his irritation for teams directing disrespect toward the Warriors said that upon further contem- plation that there was truth in Rivers telling Grantland, "You need luck in the West. Look at Golden State. They didn't have to play us or the Spurs." "Most of the comments made by us were tongue in cheek—justjokingaround," center Andrew Bogut wrote in his NBA Australia blog. "We didn't take it too se- riously; it's just interesting hearing it from a team that hasn't been there." "I was on that side be- fore," said Rivers, who won a championship coaching the Boston Celtics. "And you can almost say what you want. So you have the right to say whatever you feel like saying. To the vic- tors go the spoils. They can talk trash. They can talk. They can walk with a swagger. They can do what- ever they want. They're the champs." Stephen Curry is among a handful of Warriors play- ers in consideration for be- ing rested against the Clip- pers,andBogutafterunder- going minor surgery on his broken nose is not with the team. But Thompson said he does get up for playing the Clippers even if the result doesn't matter in the pre- season. "I don't know (if it could get chippy)," Thompson said. "When you step be- tween those lines, I don't think anyone really remem- bers what he or she says. It's kind of out the door." WARRIORS Ta lk ed o ut b ef or e ga me w it h Cl ip pe rs carries and a touchdown. Lane Pritchard hauled in 10 passes for 96 yards and 2 touchdowns. Cameron Ortega rushed for 48 yards on 8 carries and had 2 catches for 33 yards. He also rushed for a conversion.

Corning28,Lassen 33 SUSANVILLE The Cardi- nals went into the half up by 2 touchdowns Friday night against the Lassen Grizzlies, but lost a close one when the Grizzlies put up 12 unanswered in the fourth quarter. Alex Davila put up 118 yards and 3 touchdowns on 23 carries and scored a fourth on a 70-yard re- ception. He also recorded 6 tackles. Wyatt Haydon was 2 for 4 passing for 90 yards and a touchdown.

Los Molinos 46, Princeton 62 PRINCETON The Bulldogs fought their way back after Princeton put up a big lead in the first quarter Friday night, but it was just more than they could overcome in the loss. The Eagles jumped ahead 24-6 in the first and the Bulldogs responded with 20 in the second and 12 in the third. But a big fourth quarter for the Ea- gles sealed the game. Alex Russell was named the overall player of the game, Tyler Winter earned offensive honors, Jarred Costa for the defense and Cameron Schmidtke for special teams. Russell, a sophomore, had 156 yards and 3 touch- downs on 17 carries and hauled in 4 passes for 94 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also had 2 kick returns for 31 yards, a 32-yard in- terception return for 313 all purpose yards and a conversion. Winter went 6 for 10 for 144 yards and 2 touch- downs, carried the ball 11 times for 84 yards and 2 touchdowns and made 17 tackles, leading the team. Josue Orozco carried the ball 4 times for 15 yards and had scored a conversion, Kyle Wood caught a pass for 38 yards and Jarred Costa had a 12-yard catch and made 16 tackles. Cameron Schmidtke made 10 tackles and an interception and Dawson Spencer had 9 tackles and a 7-yard sack. The Bulldogs, 2-5, are scheduled to host the Her- long Vikings, 2-6, at 6 p.m. Friday. Roundup FROM PAGE 1 about these guys is that they've shown up for work every week and locked their jaw and gone to work," coach Jim Tomsula said Monday. Seattle has won five of the last six against San Francisco, including play- offs. Regardless of records, there's always a little more on the line when the 49ers and Seahawks play. "Everybody gets a little anxious for this game," said cornerback Kenneth Acker, who was wide open with- out a receiver in sight when he made an interception in the third quarter Sunday against Joe Flacco and re- turned it 45 yards. Everybody wants to make sure San Francisco takes another step for- ward. "Anything positive we can get we got to keep it going right now," Smith said. "We can't really spend too much time being happy about this because we have a tough defense coming here on Thursday so we have to get our mind right for that." 49ers FROM PAGE 1 lined up in punt formation, then rolled nine players to the far right side of the field, leaving only Whalen to kneel over the ball like a center and safety Colt An- derson behind him scan- ning the field. If the Patriots panicked and sent their defense back onto the field, An- derson was supposed to call for the snap and the 12-men-on-the-field flag would give the Colts a first down. Or, if only one defender lined up over the ball, he could have taken the snap and run for the first down. The Patriots weren't fooled and lined up several defenders over the football when Whalen didn't snap it right away — the play clock was at 10 seconds when the Colts first shifted but 9 sec- onds ticked away, giving the Patriots plenty of time to shift over and cover the ball. "That's on me," said Pa- gano, who outsmarted himself while trying to match wits with Belichick. "We expected this to be a gadget game," said Belich- ick, who added, "it was a heads-up play by our punt return unit." And hands-down the worst play call in the league in a very long time. Plays FROM PAGE 1 ries for the first time in 15 years — a quaint little drought compared to the Cubs' seven mostly empty decades since they last played in the Fall Classic. According to STATS, the winner of the first two games of a best-of-seven series in the baseball play- offs has advanced 83 per- cent (63 of 76) of the time, and the Mets have Jacob deGrom heading to the mound for Game 3 on Tues- day night. "We have a lot of confi- dence," manager Terry Col- lins said. "Any night that he pitches, we've got a good chance to win."
