NEW YORK — Kevin Durant was tired, not broken. Discouraged, but still confident about his personal future with the Brooklyn Nets and his friendship with Kyrie Irving. The Nets were swept by the more cohesive and determined Boston Celtics, a sweep that registered as the first in Durant’s 14 NBA seasons. The same is the case for Irving, who missed a huge chunk of the season due to being unvaccinated against COVID-19. Irving told the media he has no plans on leaving Brooklyn, as he can opt out… Source link

Nic Claxton’s free throw misses certainly can’t be blamed for Brooklyn’s stunning 4-0 series sweep at the hands of the Boston Celtics. But they didn’t help. The Nets forward surpassed Shaquille O’Neal in the NBA record books during Monday’s Game 4 loss. And not in a good way.

After a massive Pixel Watch leak this past weekend, you’d think that maybe Google would relax on the wearables front. Nope. With Google I/O just weeks away, a video teasing Google Assistant on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 has popped up on YouTube, and Google-owned Fitbit has officially started rolling out passive atrial fibrillation alerts on its suite of devices. We’ve known that Google Assistant was coming to the Galaxy Watch 4 (and therefore Wear OS 3) for months. The only thing we… Source link

U.S. stock futures were flat in extended trading Monday after markets staged a rebound to end higher in the earlier session as investors look ahead to a batch of mega cap tech earnings in the coming days. Contracts on all three major indexes were little changed after the Dow Jones Industrial Average recovered an intraday loss of nearly 500 points and closed in the green, snapping a five-day losing streak. The S&P 500 also bounced back from declines to close the trading session above… Source link

A familiar face is leaving NFL Network with her eyes set on one of the top openings in NFL broadcasting. “Good Morning Football” co-host Kay Adams has worked her last day with the show and is a candidate to host Amazon’s upcoming “Thursday Night Football” pregame show, Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reports. Adams has co-hosted the three-hour morning show on weekdays since 2016. With Amazon taking over streaming rights to “Thursday Night Football” broadcasts in the fall, Adams could be… Source link

Every month, new companies get dinged for sending money to the 147 members of Congress who tried to overturn the 2020 election, but none gets quite as much heat for its donations as Toyota (TM).
