Look For Julio Pablo Martinez To Be Promoted To Dominican Summer League Soon

As the Broncos prepare for their first playoff game since the 2015 season, their defensive coordinator has emerged as a candidate for at least one head coach opening over the last week. Such is the price of success in the NFL. Vance Joseph helped turn around a Denver defense that was among the bottom third in the league a year ago, and now other franchises could soon try to pry him away.

Russell Westbrook smelled blood in the water, revealed himself too soon, then still captured his prey anyway. It was the first quarter at Ball Arena, and the Nuggets led the Clippers 19-13 after DeAndre Jordan scored and got fouled. With Jordan famously a horrible free throw shooter — 47.5% in his career, 35% this season — Westbrook went hunting for an offensive rebound. Maybe it helped that Denver was hosting his former team.
