Draymond Green entered Game 2 of the NBA Finals wanting to play something other than basketball, and the Boston Celtics obliged, losing themselves among a bevy of controversial calls and careless turnovers. The Golden State Warriors forward bodied Jayson Tatum, wrestled Grant Williams, baited Jaylen Brown and mauled Al Horford. Green was nearly ejected in the final minute before halftime. Instead of responding with aggression around the basket, Boston laid down in an embarrassing… Source link

A prolonged backlog in processing green cards is hindering the ability of the U.S. to compete with other nations for top tech talent, according to one Google executive. “The ability to attract and retain talent is absolutely critical to America’s technology leadership. Companies like Google depend on having green cards and visas to be able to bring in the world’s best computer scientists, the best software engineers,” said Karan Bhatia, vice president of public affairs and public… Source link

SAN FRANCISCO — Draymond Green is enjoying Golden State’s return to NBA prominence after a two-year sabbatical, believing the break helped his mind and body recover and realign his hunger. After five straight NBA Finals and three titles, the Warriors had an injury-riddled 2019-20 season and were eliminated in the play-in tournament last season by the same Memphis Grizzlies they’re facing now. Green called the last two years “miserable” but felt they were valuable — he was able to… Source link

Jae Crowder wasn’t ejected on Monday night, and Draymond Green had plenty of thoughts. The Phoenix Suns forward kicked Luka Doncic directly in the groin in the first half of their 121-114 win in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinals series against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. Crowder went to make a pass near the top of the key around the midway point of the second quarter, and his right leg came flying up before drilling Doncic directly in the groin. That, naturally, sent Doncic… Source link

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Having released Za’Darius Smith to help get in compliance with the salary cap and last year’s young backups providing meager contributions with Smith missing most of the season, Eric Edholm went with Purdue’s George Karlaftis with the Green Bay Packers’ first pick in a mock draft at Yahoo. Edholm noted some pertinent Packers history in making the first pick. “With receiver somewhat picked over and a quality pass-rush talent on the board, this is the way we’ll go… Source link

SAN FRANCISCO — Philadelphia 76ers guard Danny Green couldn’t wait to see Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson back on the court after over two years away from the game due to recovering from a torn ACL, followed by a ruptured Achilles a year later. The origin of Thompson’s 177-game absence occurred in Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals between the Warriors and Toronto Raptors. Green was a member of that Raptors championship team, and he was whistled for a foul after he attempted a… Source link

Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” is the gift that keeps on giving. The seemingly timeless tune first hit the airwaves in 1994, but it took a whopping 25 years before the track finally reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 list in 2019.  The song climbed its way back to that top spot again in December 2020, and just just hit number one for a third time — becoming the first song in the chart’s history to have led in three distinct runs on the ranking, the outlet… Source link
