Jackson was responding to questions Monday about how fans in Los Angeles should react to the purported comments of Clippers owner Donald Sterling telling a woman not to bring black people to his games or associate with them. The Warriors coach said: "I believe if it was me, I wouldn't come to the game. I believe the fans, the loudest statement that they can make as fans is to not show up to the game....
Warriors coach Steve Kerr, speaking on The Warriors Insider Podcast, admitted to using marijuana while dealing with chronic back pain. “I guess maybe I can even get in some trouble for this, but I’ve actually tried it twice during the last year and a half, when I’ve been going through this chronic pain that I’ve been dealing with,” Kerr said Friday. “(After) a lot of research, a lot of advice from people and I have no idea if maybe I would have failed a drug test....
His publisher calls it a novel. Reviewers, reasoning that if it walks like fiction and talks like fiction it must be fiction, also call it a novel. But, like a Hitchcock hero who can’t convince anyone that he’s uncovered a crime, Roth persisted. Last week, in an interview with The New York Times, he reiterated his claim: “The book is true.” Visiting Israel in 1988, he was recruited by Israeli intelligence for a spy mission in Athens....
NEWSWEEK: What surprised you most while doing the research for this book? Jonah Lehrer: One thing was how seriously all of these artists took their art. They really believed that their novels and paintings and poetry were expressing deep truths about the human mind. As Virginia Woolf put it, the task of the novelist is to “examine for a moment an ordinary mind on an ordinary day … [tracing] the pattern, however disconnected and incoherent in appearance, which each sight or incident scores upon the consciousness....
A newly released letter sent on Tuesday from D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to the White House requests that the president replenish “approximately $1.7 million” the city spent from its Emergency Planning and Security Fund (EPSF) safeguarding Trump’s “July 4th holiday activities and subsequent first amendment demonstrations.” According to the letter, the fund’s depletion can be attributed to declining reserves, a greater demand for security services and the $7.3 million cost associated with Trump’s inauguration....
Washington won the NFC east with a 7-9 record and then lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card round. The New England Patriots failed to make the playoffs, breaking a streak of 11 consecutive seasons doing so. Entering the 2021 season, however, there are some similarities. Washington and the New England will both be using their preseason schedules to evaluate their quarterback situation. Washington signed veteran journeyman quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick this offseason after Alex Smith retired....
In their last meet on Wednesday, Bradley Beal scored 32 points to help the Washington Wizards come out on top with a 103-100 win. Since the Miami Heat’s NBA finals loss to the LA Lakers, the team appears to have a “finals hangover”. The team now stands with an overall record of 7-14 and have fallen to the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Both of Eastern Conference’s bottom of the barrel teams will look to get back on track in their rematch on Friday....
Patch 1.1.2 is now live to download on Steam and GOG, with console versions set to go live early next week “following their certification release process.” This update brings with it one of the most highly-requested changes to the game: reduced load times. inXile says it has effectively rewritten how Wasteland 3 loads levels, and the result is that loading times have been reduced by up to 25% on console and 60% on PC....
The Imperium of Man is one of those deeply important things to the Warhammer 40K setting included within Darktide. For the uninitiated, it may be tricky to figure out what the Imperium of Man actually is. It has been mentioned multiple times in the various trailers for Darktide, but it has yet to be properly explained by Fatshark. Essentially, the Imperium of Man in Warhammer 40K is the name used to describe all the systems, planets, and people humanity commands....
Wario, like all evil businessmen, seeks to make as much money as possible before leaving his allies in the dust. It could be that WarioWare: Get it Together will also see the employees of WarioWare Inc. being left behind by Wario, once they’ve made him enough money. The decision to bring the WarioWare series to the Switch makes a lot of sense, as each new system that Nintendo has used has found a new way to evolve the mechanics from the game before it....
Warner Bros. had a great CinemaCon, with the newest footage from their films Dune and The Batman getting plenty of love from the audience. While those two releases have already received plenty of marketing, Warner also made sure to highlight a film that they haven’t really said much about, at least until now. Audiences saw a full trailer for Lana Wachowski’s fourth Matrix film, a sequel to 2003’s The Matrix Revolutions....
At the tail end of May 2020 users started reporting that their phones were either crashing or bootlooping (constantly restarting) after applying a particular wallpaper. The profile of the issue was then raised after known sources, including established tech leaker, IceUniverse posted and retweeted videos showing the issue on their Twitter feed. It seems that using this picture as a wallpaper can cause certain Android phones to fall into a bootloop that can only be broken by either restarting your device in safe mode and deleting the offending wallpaper before restarting normally or manually deleting wallpaper data using a file browser....
Junior Hoilett and Victor Camarasa scored in each half to give Cardiff a surprisingly straightforward 2-0 home victory on Saturday, ending a miserable run of three straight defeats that had seen them concede 10 goals in the process. Warnock was forced to deny reports in the build-up to the game suggesting his players are losing faith in him and he relished the chance to put the record straight after the win, which kept them within two points of safety....
Per Kylen Mills, a reporter from Bay Area news network KRON4, there will be no public speeches from the players and no rally before or after the parade. Instead, speeches will be given in a private ceremony that will be broadcasted. That wouldn’t stop Draymond Green While the news of no public speeches was met with disappointment, including a few tweets from the All-Star forward, he found ways to speak his mind at the celebration....
Green stepped on the foot of Warriors team-mate DeMarcus Cousins in the second half on Saturday and the three-time NBA All-Star headed to the locker room soon after. The Warriors then announced Green – who had to be helped up and off the floor – would not return against the Rockets. Green is averaging 7.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.3 assists for the reigning champions this season. The Warriors came into Saturday’s game with a 42-16 record and top of the Western Conference following the All-Star break....
“We tried everything,” Williams said. “We had several different coverages for KD.” “They didn’t work,” Beverley interjected with a laugh. MORE: Curry, Green praise Durant after Game 1 win over Rockets Ever since he gave us the wonderfully cocky “I’m Kevin Durant” quote, the four-time NBA scoring champion been on a mission to show the league that he’s not only the best player on his team, but that he’s dethroned LeBron James as the best player in the world....
Earlier this month, reports said Durant was progressing nicely from his left knee injury and could make a return in the regular season. The first part is accurate, but if he’s held out at least another week then that puts a potential return at the end of the Warriors’ regular-season schedule. At this point, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him miss the rest of the team’s games and make his return in the postseason....
Stephen Curry’s teammates didn’t seem to mind Patrick Beverley’s chippy play against their star point guard. MORE: How many games will Warriors lose? | Beverley forgot to take Curry out Beverley’s aggressive play against Curry certainly shouldn’t be classified as dirty. But the way in which Curry’s teammates nonchalantly defended him is puzzling, to say the least. “At the end of the day, and I’m saying this as a defender, sometimes you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do,” Draymond Green told USA TODAY Sports after the game....
The Warriors’ 119-113 win over the Magic on Monday was their 45th consecutive at Oracle Arena, breaking the Bulls’ previous mark of 44 staight home wins. Curry showed why he is the reigning MVP with 41 points and 13 rebounds. MORE: NBA League Pass Alert: Games to watch this week Golden State improved to 56-6, bouncing back from Sunday’s ugly loss to the Lakers. It wasn’t easy, though, as the Magic got to within two points — 111-109 — before Klay Thompson’s 3-pointer with 52....
“Every game is different,” Kerr said. “Every circumstance is different. I mean, we were down 3-1 against OKC (in the Western Conference finals). I thought winning Game 5 gave us some momentum. But we’ve had other series where it made no rhyme or reason who was winning and what happened the next game.” MORE: Must-see photos from NBA Finals rematch We had something completely new Friday for what has been a series devoid of rhyme and reason: a tight game, one that featured the kind of twists, turns and strategic maneuvering that had been missing from the first three games of the series....
