By Eddie Bitar View the original article to see embedded media. Winning an NBA title is the most important part of playing professional basketball. It is the end goal for every season and the reason players dedicate their lives to the game. Of course, it is also the most difficult part of basketball. That is why franchises scramble every season to build together the best possible team to contend with until the end of the playoffs. Of course, not every team ends up making the postseason and for those that do, everything must be in their favor to lift the championship trophy. First, teams must g…

By James Davey LONDON (Reuters) -Budget fashion chain Primark will raise prices as it battles severe inflationary pressures, its parent Associated British Foods said on Tuesday, as it also warned on the margin outlook at its food businesses, sending shares lower. The group said Primark has been unable to fully offset the cost pressures it is facing with savings and so will implement selective price increases across some of its autumn/winter stock from August. Finance chief John Bason told Reuters that Primark was keeping its pledge not to raise prices for spring/summer stock. He declined to sa…

By Brian Burnsed Gene Siller was the one who investigated. Because that’s where his path took him. The detritus of grief litters a suburban Atlanta home office. Letters of condolence. File folders stuffed with insurance policies and investment accounts. The contents of a husband’s golf club locker that a 34-year-old widow can’t yet bear to sift through. And resting on a desk, lost in this muddle, a child’s drawing. The sketch, on white paper, depicts a bright summer sun and blue sky over a golf course. One man, in red pants, stands triumphantly near a flagstick, having felled another man, pron…

By Rob McVey Here is a look at the Tennessee Volunteers’ college football schedule in 2022 with a rundown of their opponents. The Tennessee Volunteers will look to build off a better-than-expected seven-win season in Josh Heupel’s first season at the helm on Rocky Top. And there are plenty of reasons for optimism heading into year two of the Heupel era. Related: 3 Reasons for Optimism About the Volunteers in 2022 Chief among those reasons are eight starters returning from Heupel’s high-octane offense that broke multiple single-season school records last season. Star quarterback Hendon Hooker a…

On the calendar summer is still a ways away, but at the movies summertime is ready to roll. Next weekend’s release of “Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” marks the kickoff of the summer box office season, the first true summer movie season in three years, after 2020 was wiped out entirely and 2021 was hobbled by the COVID-19 pandemic. There are some big dogs ready to get out and play in the yard, including Marvel heavy hitters (in addition to “Strange,” there’s a new Thor movie on its way in July), marquee franchise fare (new “Jurassic Park” and “Despicable Me” entries and a “Toy Story”…

By Jonathan Wilson The Reds are a step away from returning to the European title match after surviving the Villarreal experience with a relentlessness that was ultimately rewarded. After all the goals and drama of Manchester City’s 4-3 win over Real Madrid in the first leg of the first Champions League semifinal on Tuesday, Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Villarreal a day later perhaps felt a little anti-climactic. But a little calm is no bad thing and if this is, as it should be, a precursor to a Champions League final, few of a red persuasion will be too concerned. This was a thoroughly compreh…

It was difficult not to feel a sense of what might have been in watching the Kraken lose to their latest playoff-bound opponent. The Los Angeles Kings were not really expected to be among the Pacific Division’s top three teams when the season began. And yet, a Kings side that defeated the Kraken 5-3 on Wednesday night is indeed headed to the postseason as the division’s third-best team — while the local squad is headed for a top-five draft lottery pick. “The line between winning and losing is very thin,” Kraken forward Jordan Eberle said when asked about his team’s competitive play against the…

By Addam Goldman View the original article to see embedded media. Kevin Durant ended the 2022 season by dropping 39 inefficient points in game four of the first round, attempting to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Celtics by jacking up 31 field goal attempts and making only 13 of them. KD failed. Boston edged Durant and the Nets 116 to 112, helping Brooklyn cap off one of the most disappointing seasons in NBA history with one of the most disappointing superstar performances in playoff history. LeBron James famously (or is it infamously?) “took his talents to South Beach,” teaming up with Dwy…

By Addam Goldman View the original article to see embedded media. The Boston Celtics entered the playoffs as the hottest team in the league behind their destructor defense. They squared up against Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and the Brooklyn Nets in what most experts saw as a series that would go at least six games, if not the full distance. Things weren’t that difficult. The Celtics dispatched the Nets 4-0 in the first round of the Eastern Conference. The Milwaukee Bucks ended the regular season with a 15-7 record, good for third-best in the league. They entered the first round against a reel…

By Addam Goldman View the original article to see embedded media. The Golden State Warriors entered the 2021-22 season as the fourth biggest favorite to win the title, trailing only the Nets, Lakers, and Bucks. The Warriors exceeded expectations early, launching out of the gate with a 27-7 record through 2021. They headed into the New Year looking poised to climb the mountain for the first time in three years behind the number one rated defense in the league and a trio of All-Stars, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Andrew Wiggins. And they did it all without Klay Thompson. Klay returned on J…
