Paul Gallen has fired a parting shot at Queensland, accusing them of being bad winners ahead of his final State of Origin match. Gallen has been on the wrong end of 10 series wins for the Queenslanders in the last 11 years.Flames of interstate hatred were stoked for Wednesdays Origin III at ANZ Stadium by Queensland players sledging Blues counterparts following the Maroons series-clinching win in game two in Brisbane.And an arrogant tweet about losers having meetings while winners have parties sent by Maroons prop Josh McGuire provided the Blues with even more motivation.In his final pre-match press conference on Monday, Gallen returned fire, accusing Maroons players and their fans of lacking humility.Ill say one thing about Queenslanders, I think theyre bad winners to be honest with you, Gallen said.When you win 10 of 11 series or whatever it is you probably can afford to be.Thats not so much the players, Im talking about the people up there in general to be honest with you but as I said theyve got the runs on the scoreboard so we cant change it.Gallen, who will retire from representative football after Wednesdays match, has served as public enemy No.1 for Queenslanders for several seasons, but said he took that as a sign of respect.Theres that many times I go to Queensland with the Australian side and everyone says wed love to have you as a Queenslander any day of the week and I find that an insult, Gallen joked.I remember Ive had a couple of drinks with Justin Hodges on Australian tours and hes said the same thing to me. Its like, oh mate leave me alone.I think theres a respectful hatred there, theres no doubt about it, but its finishing on Wednesday. Ty Law Jersey .

ATLANTA -- New Orleans?forward Anthony Davis suffered a contusion above his right kneecap after he smacked his knee on a seat while diving four rows deep into the stands in the first quarter of the Pelicans 112-94 win over the Hawks on Tuesday night.He ultimately returned in the fourth quarter, after X-rays taken on the knee were negative.Davis was listed as probable for Wednesday nights game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.It is scary because you never know whats going to happen, Davis said Tuesday. The way I play, I just leave it out on the floor, so I cant control myself when that stuff happens. Its just instinctive. I just go out there and play as hard as I can. If it happened again tomorrow, Id probably do it again, to be honest.Davis was initially designated in the second quarter as questionable to return. Following the X-rays, the Pelicans medical staff performed treatment on the knee in an effort to get Davis back on the court.After missing the entirety of the second and third quarters, Davis checked back into the game to start the fourth quarter, with the Pelicans leading the Hawks 95-71. Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said the decision to reinsert Davis into a blowout was largely to determine how the Pelicans star might perform in Wednesday nights game against the Minnesota Timberwolves in New Orleans (ESPN, 9:30 p.m. ET).He came back out and said he could go, and so we stuck him in the game for a few minutes, Gentry said. We wanted to see if hed be OK for [Wednesday].Davis showed no ill effects, scoring seven points in 10 minutes in the fourth qquarter.dddddddddddd He finished the game with 13 points, on 6 for 12 shooting, and added three rebounds and three blocks in 19 total minutes. Following the game, Davis pulled a compression sleeve over his right leg and the bloodied, quarter-sized wound atop his knee.Davis suffered a right thigh contusion on Nov. 15 in a home victory over the Boston Celtics that forced him to sit out the Pelicans loss to the Orlando Magic two days later. It was his only missed game this season.Despite playing much of the game without Davis, the Pelicans turned in one of their most impressive performances of the season in only their second road win. New Orleans, which at one juncture in the third quarter led Atlanta by 35 points, notched its third consecutive victory and shot above 50 percent for the second time this season.The streak has coincided with the return of guard Jrue Holiday, who scored 15 points and contributed four assists in 27 minutes on Tuesday, after missing the Pelicans first dozen games. Tim Frazier led all scorers with 26 points -- matching a career high -- and added a career-high 14 assists.?Terrence Jones, who was battling an illness prior to the game, contributed 17 points.For us, we just have to do all the little things, Davis said. You know, diving on the floor -- obviously not into the stands -- but rebounding the basketball, boxing out, all the little things that matter.ESPNs Justin Verrier contributed to this report.? ' ' '
