Odds

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Dallas Mavericks have just lost two straight games to the Charlotte Hornets, one of the league's worst teams, which acts as a symptom of what has been an underwhelming season for the Texas-based organization. What's even worse than their diminishing playoffs odds is the fact that the Mavericks won't have much control in the offseason about.. well, anything, really. Kyrie Irving and Christian Wood - the team's second and third-best players - are both unrestricted free agents, who have the right to leave outright. Tim Hardaway Jr and Davis Bertans, two players with inconsistent production on fairly large deals, remain on the books and won't necessarily be easy to move off of. And the middle of it all is Luka Dončić, the Slovenian superstar who is unquestionably a Top 5 talent, and a franchise-carrying player.

It looks like the EP is going to make a huge opening on the Billboard charts in a few days, possibly debuting inside the top 10 on the Billboard 200–the chart company's weekly ranking of the most-consumed EPs and albums in the U.S. HitsDailyDouble suggests that Face could open as high as No. 3. The EP will likely start off behind … [Read more...] about BTS’ Jimin Is Headed For A Historic Debut With Solo EP ‘Face’

DIFFERENT TIME ZONES | A woman in Beirut holds a mobile telephone showing contradicting time zones on March 26, 2023, after Lebanon’s government announced a decision to delay daylight savings. (Agence France-Presse) BEIRUT — Wracked by a crippling economic meltdown and political deadlock, Lebanon on Sunday added a seemingly odd question to its growing list of woes: “What time is it?” A last-minute decision to delay daylight savings by a month has left the small country divided between two time zones after the move was met with opposition from the influential Maronite Church. Lebanon’s caretaker government announced on Thursday its decision to delay rolling clocks forward until April 20, instead of the last week of March as is usually the case in the country and many others in the northern hemisphere. Institutions including the church, as well as some schools and media outlets instead insisted on turning their clocks forward at midnight (2200 GMT on Saturday).
