Draymond Green colorfully describes last season’s chemistry in contrast to this year’s Warriors
Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:11:06 GMT
The Warriors have been showing such good chemistry in their 4-1 start that Draymond Green compared it to last year’s difficulty developing rapport.“Last year, we had an awful team as far as chemistry goes, it was pathetic,” Green told reporters after Wednesday night’s 102-101 win over the Kings, won on Klay Thompson’s final-second shot. “But chemistry has been a strong suit here. That’s why Steph (Curry) has been here for 15 years, Klay has been here for 13. I’ve been here for 12 and Loon (Kevon Looney) has been here for nine because chemistry is a strong suit — and Andre Iguodala. The list goes on and on.”Of course, Green was a key figure in the trouble last year, as he punched Jordan Poole during training camp practice coming off the prior year’s championship run.The team’s front office traded Poole for Chris Paul this offseason, which is already paying dividends with Paul leading a strong bench unit that has ...Workday outage Thursday continues to impact users

(KRON) -- Nearly a dozen cases of tuberculosis have been linked to a casino in Contra Costa County, public health officials announced Thursday. Anyone who spent time inside California Grand Casino in Pacheco within the past five years should take a TB test, according to Contra Costa Health Services (CCH)."Recent genetic testing revealed several related cases among staff and customers over the past five years," Contra Costa Health Services wrote. CCH has so far not identified an ongoing source of transmission at the casino. Tuberculosis bacteria can live inside a person for months or years without causing any symptoms, health officials said."We are making this recommendation now because there is new evidence that TB may have spread among people who spent time at the casino from 2018 to 2023," said Dr. Meera Sreenivasan, the county's deputy health officer. "TB can live inside someone for years without showing signs of its presence. That is why it’s important to take a test, even if yo...Collision involving pedestrian blocking Sir Francis Drake Boulevard

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — At the bottom of the AFC standings and in the throes of his worst start since his first season in New England, Bill Belichick and the Patriots could have easily been sellers at the trade deadline.They weren’t. “We’re getting ready for Washington,” Belichick said this week regarding his team’s lack of trade activity.The Commanders (3-5) were open for business, dealing top pass rushers Chase Young and Montez Sweat in moves that stockpile draft picks for a rebuilding effort but do nothing to help them this season.Though, coach Ron Rivera also insisted they haven’t given up on the season. “It’s an opportunity to see what else we have,” Rivera said. “It’s an opportunity to go out and win football games using different guys.”One team will walk out of Sunday’s matchup feeling at least a little better about the remainder of the season. The Patriots (2-6) certainly could use a confidence boost coming off another humbling loss at Miami just a week after seemingly figu...Tens of thousands of Las Vegas Strip hotel workers at 18 casinos could on go strike this month

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Tens of thousands of Las Vegas hotel workers fighting for new union contracts set a strike deadline Thursday, threatening major disruptions at more than a dozen resorts — the city’s economic backbone — that could coincide with the Strip’s inaugural Formula 1 races later this month.The Culinary Workers Union said about 35,000 members whose contracts expired earlier this year are ready and willing to walk off the job if deals aren’t reached by Nov. 10 with casino giants MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment and Wynn Resorts.That’s five days before the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend, which is expected to bring thousands of people to the Strip, is set to kick off with an opening ceremony.Ted Pappageorge, the union’s secretary-treasurer and chief contract negotiator, said at a news conference Thursday that the union and its members hope it doesn’t come to that, but, he said, “workers are prepared, united and ready to strike if neces...Nigeria’s government budgets for SUVs and president’s wife while millions struggle to make ends meet

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria’s lawmakers on Thursday approved the new government’s first supplemental budget, which includes huge allocations for SUVs and houses for the president, his wife and other public officials, sparking anger and criticism from citizens in one of the world’s poorest countries.In the budget presented to lawmakers to supplement the country’s expenditures for 2023, the government had allocated about $38 million for the presidential air fleet, vehicles and for renovation of residential quarters for the office of the president, the vice-president and the president’s wife — even though her office is not recognized by the country’s constitution.Before the budget was approved, and facing increasing criticism, lawmakers eliminated $6.1 million earlier budgeted for a “presidential yacht” and moved it to “student loans.”A Nigerian presidential spokesman said President Bola Tinubu had not given approval for the yacht, whose allocation was provided under the ...Yellen says the US economic relationship with China must consider human rights and national security

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington wants to build an economic relationship with Beijing that takes into account national security and human rights and is fair to both sides, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Thursday.In laying out the Biden administration’s economic approach toward the Indo-Pacific region, the country’s top financial official said Washington does not seek to decouple from China, the region’s largest economy and the world’s second largest next to the United States. But it wants to diversify by investing at home and boosting links with trusted countries in the region.“We’ve put forward a vision of the world grounded in values we share with these allies and partners and in which there is also a healthy and stable economic relationship between the United States and China,” Yellen said in a speech hosted by the Asia Society less than two weeks before leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation countries will gather in San Francisco for ...Colin Rea stays with Milwaukee Brewers, agrees to 1-year deal with club option for 2025
