Michael Malone one of least-liked NBA coaches, according to tweets

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:50:00 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- It makes very little difference how well the team performs - National Basketball Association fans have mainly negative views of coaches.Sports Gambling site Betway combed through millions of tweets to see which NBA coach is the most loved - or the least hated, at least. Nuggets could be headed to NBA Finals for 1st time ever Perhaps unsurprisingly, negative opinions online are far more common than positive ones. The league's most loved coach is the Indiana Pacers' Rick Carlisle, about whom 30.9% of tweets were positive - meaning over two-thirds were negative for even the most popular coach in the league. However, this comparatively positive assessment comes with a caveat - Carlisle only had 2,421 tweets about him in the past 12 months, the lowest amount of any coach in the comparison.Apparently, a winning record makes little difference in the public's perception of the coach. The Denver Nuggets could be headed to the NBA Finals for the first t...

No debt ceiling agreement in White House meeting, though Biden and McCarthy call talks productive

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:50:00 GMT

By LISA MASCARO, STEPHEN GROVES and ZEKE MILLER (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy both said they had a productive debt ceiling discussion late Monday at the White House, but there was no agreement as negotiators strained to raise the nation’s borrowing limit in time to avert a potentially chaotic federal default. It’s a crucial moment for the Democratic president and the Republican speaker, just 10 days before a looming deadline to raise the debt limit. As soon as June 1, Treasury Secretary Janel Yellen, said in a letter to Congress, “it is highly likely” the government will be unable to pay all the nation’s bills. Such an unprecedented default would be financially damaging for many Americans and others around the world relying on U.S. stability, sending shockwaves through the global economy.Each side praised the other’s seriousness, but basic differences remained. They are at odds over ...

The Boston City Council was able to reach a tentative consensus on a new redistricting map.A marathon session marked by disagreement and lengthy recesses concluded Monday with a map built from a proposal put forward by Councilor Ruthzee Louijeune that incorporated input and changes suggested by her colleagues.It redraws lines in a way that achieves population balance for each of the city’s nine districts, based on data that shows the ideal population is 75,071 but allows for a range of roughly 71,500 to 78,500 people in each district.“No one’s going to be happy 100% of the time, but at least we can say that this was truly a compromise,” said City Councilor Gabriela Coletta.While the tentative agreement was reached, the map wasn’t finalized. Louijeune, who chaired the day’s civil rights committee meeting, said there is still work that needs to be done to resolve the conflict that took place Monday over changes made in districts 4 and 5.A new map has to be approved by the City Council...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:50:00 GMT

TALLINN, Estonia — Russian TV went into a full frenzy of celebration as it reported Moscow’s capture of the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut.There were comparisons to the Red Army liberating Berlin in 1945, congratulations relayed from President Vladimir Putin and announcers emphasizing the victory by using the city’s nearly century-old Soviet name of Artyomovsk.“The myth that Artyomovsk is an unassailable fortress has been crushed,” an anchor said Sunday night on Channel One, Russia’s most popular state broadcaster. “Those are historic events.”A report from the smoldering city in eastern Ukraine followed, showing Russian fighters yelling “Victory!” and placing two flags — the Russian tricolor and the black flag of the private military contractor Wagner — atop a tall, partly destroyed building.The flags were mounted “so that everyone could see them,” the correspondent said, even though the bombed-out, deserted 40...
