Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:53:52 GMT

The Golden State Warriors might have been the last team to qualify for the playoffs, but they also could be the last team standing come June.Yes, again.The Warriors will begin their quest for a fifth title in eight years Saturday night in Sacramento (5:30 p.m., KGO-TV). And while the team’s 44-38 record in the regular season left plenty to be desired, the Dubs are confident and eager for the “real” season.The path to the title will not be easy — the Warriors’ regular-season struggles cannot be discounted. At the same time, the Western Conference could easily be turned upside-down and still make sense.After so many seasons in which the Warriors were an obvious choice to win the title, these playoffs have a chance to be chaotic.But if we’ve learned one thing about the Warriors, it’s that they thrive in chaos.They live for it.“You feel it more than you see it,” Warriors guard Jordan Poole said of the intensity of the playoffs. “How ...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:53:52 GMT

Upwards of 50 red dresses can be seen hanging along University Avenue and other areas of Queen’s University’s campus. They are part of an art installation that Queen’s has adopted for the second straight year in an effort to mark the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and gender diverse people on May 5.Last year Queen’s had red dresses hanging on campus closer to the date itself, but decided to do so earlier this year so that more students would be on campus and able to engage with and learn about the installation and the issue it represents.

Neighbors rattled after Air National Guardsman charged in leak of secret military information

The Massachusetts Air National guardsman arrested at his mom’s home for allegedly leaking secret military information online is from a military family. Jack Teixeira, 21, graduated Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School in 2020. He then joined the Massachusetts Air National Guard where he was a part of the 102nd Intelligence Wing with the Air National Guard on Cape Cod. Though it is not clear what security clearance or access he had, the Air Force said he worked to make sure the service’s vast, global communications network operated properly. Teixeira’s step-father served for 35 years and was based out of Otis Air National Guard Base on Cape Cod.

Ira Winderman: Thinking big led to losses, but Heat likely will do it all again

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:53:52 GMT

After an uneven season and rocky play-in ride, beyond debate has been that the Miami Heat have pushed through with a roster that has been lacking, needing a Friday high-wire act against the Chicago Bulls to advance.To some, that is a condemnation of Pat Riley, Andy Elisburg, Adam Simon, Nick Arison and the front office.And yet, no less than Riley, Elisburg, Simon and Arison essentially came to that conclusion well before any outsiders.So to consider the Heat’s eventual end game at the conclusion of this postseason, first go back to the start, to last July, when the Heat had pieces to put into play, alternate means to distribute their payroll, the ability to delay on what became a four-year, $130 million extension to Tyler Herro.Because as distressing as it might seem, history could well repeat itself.Yes. Whales. Harpoons. Big Fish. Dream outlooks. Nightmare possibilities, this hardly a team that plays for a No. 8 seed.The primary reason the Heat avoided becoming hard capped l...
