Poll: Who will win Knicks/Pacers Game 7?

It’s going to be an eventful Sunday in the National Basketball Association. Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Nuggets and Timberwolves, which we covered on Friday, will be preceded by a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Knicks And Pacers. The winner will advance to face the Celtics in the Eastern finals.

Through the first six games of the Knicks/Pacers series, the home team has dominated. New York has a 3-0 record and a +43 margin at Madison Square Garden, but Indiana was even better at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, with a 3-0 record by a +50 margin.

The good news for the Knicks is that Game 7 will take place in New York. The bad news? At this point in the series, all the injury-ravaged squad wants to do is survive a war of attrition. Of Julius Randle And Bojan Bogdanovic already unavailable to open the second round, the Knicks have seen Mitchell Robinson going down with a season-ending ankle injury and OG Anunoby is suffering from a hamstring injury that is expected to sideline him for the fifth straight game on Sunday.

Jalen Brunson And Jos Hart have managed to play in every game of the postseason, but both players – who have had a big hand in the Knicks’ success thus far – are in disarray, with Hart’s status for Game 7 still in doubt air hangs due to an abdominal injury. Even if he can play, it’s unclear how close he’ll get to 100%.

The Knicks are still listed as two-point favorites according to BetOnline.ag, but given the roster’s overall talent level and their success at home this series, that number should be higher — if they were a little healthier. .

New York’s injury problems have opened the door for the upstart Pacers, who entered the season as a projected sub-.500 team, to make the Eastern Conference Finals. But to end the series, they will have to put in a better defensive effort than they did in the first three games in New York.

The Knicks, who had an offensive rating of 117.3 during the regular season, managed just a 107.6 rating in the series against Indiana, but have a staggering 131.0 offensive rating in their second-round home games.

Indiana actually wasn’t bad offensively at Madison Square Garden. As the star moves forward Pascal Siakam (18.3 points per game) has not matched his regular season average and star guard Tyrese Haliburton has six- and 13-point games with a 34-point outburst, the club as a whole has converted 49.4% of its field goal attempts and 42.5% of its three-pointers on the road. But the Pacers’ defense has been porous in these losses and they haven’t been physical enough at the plate, where the Knicks have grabbed nearly 60% of the available rebounds in their three home games.

With Game 7 starting in just over 24 hours, we want to know what you think. Can the Knicks’ remaining healthy players pull through Sunday and win the series, or will the deeper, healthier Pacers become the first team to win a road game in the series?

Star teases return to filming

Yellowstone season 5 episode 1

Yellowstone season 5, episode 9 is coming later this year and it looks like the hit series is finally moving closer to production!

In a new post on Instagram, cast member Forrie J. Smith indicated that he is now back in Montana, getting ready to resume filming for the rest of this season – and what could ultimately be the end of the series. That’s what all indications seem to suggest at this point.

As for what else will happen in the upcoming episodes, that’s the big mystery right now – and a lot will also depend on whatever is decided when it comes to John Dutton. Will Kevin Costner’s character be killed off? At this point, we’re inclined to think there’s a good chance of that happening, largely due to the fact that there’s no indication he’ll return and it’s hard to imagine John being part of the show and not actually appearing. -camera.

If John dies, the rest of the show will unravel as a function of that; it’s hard to really look at the situation in any other way at this point. We’re just hoping that we’ll see a lot of drama, but also some closure – and from there, some sort of setup for a spin-off down the road. We’re sure one is in development, and the plan for now seems to be to at least feature some cast members from the original show, like Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser. Of course, nothing is certain until an official statement comes out.

Tyrese Haliburton’s honest quote after Indiana Pacers win Game 6

On Friday night, the Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Knicks by a score of 116-103, tying the series at 3-3 and forcing a Game 7.

All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton finished the game with 15 points, six rebounds, nine assists and two blocks while shooting 6/12 from the field and 3/8 from three-point range in 32 minutes of playing time.

After the big win, Haliburton met the media and talked about the upcoming Game 7.

Haliburton: “I’m expecting probably the most incredible environment I’ve ever played in an NBA game. The Garden is a crazy place. They have a rabid fan base. I’m excited about it, I’m excited to get on the road and do something what we haven’t done yet in this series; try to win a game on the road. That’s what I’m really excited about. We know the storied history of this rivalry between these two franchises and now we’re adding another chapter on that.”

Haliburton is coming off another standout season in which he averaged 20.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 10.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 47.7% from the field and 36. Shot 4% from three-point range.

Whoever wins the series will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals and face Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics (who defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round in five games).

Texas residents perform during Hamilton tour – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

Why play a role in Hamilton if you can play a lot? As standby, swing and dance captains, that’s the extraordinary job John Devereaux and Bella Rusli perform in the national touring production of the Tony Award-winning blockbuster.

A bonus for these Texas natives: They get to play these roles in front of their hometown audiences. The show is now playing at the Winspear Opera House in Dallas through June 9 before moving to Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth from June 11 to 23.

Bella Rusli Hamilton tours backstage 2024
Rusli grew up in McKinney and trained primarily as a dancer from ages 3 to 22.

Rusli grew up in McKinney and took dance classes in Allen before attending the Boston Conservatory at Berklee and earning a BFA in dance. Her dance background has grounded her musical theater career.

“I was also a competitive dancer growing up, so I feel like a big part of that helped me in my career just from auditions. Maybe not the competitive nature, but performing as much as possible because growing up that was my only chance to perform on stage in front of other people and I think that really shaped how I move or how I think about auditions” , says Rusli. said.

Devereaux is a native of Houston and attended Texas Christian University (TCU), where he graduated in 2012. A friend urged him to audition for a show at TCU and that changed his career trajectory. He lived in Los Angeles for six years before joining the Hamilton tour.

“For TCU, it was a place where I gained my confidence. I feel like I had gifts that weren’t used as much, but I think TCU brought it out of me and they gave me confidence and nurtured those gifts. It was kind of an incubator for those four years,” Devereaux said.

Rusli started touring with Hamilton in the spring of 2022. For this tour she is a swing and will take on the female ensemble roles.

“Really, we learn every song that the women all play, from top to bottom, and they’re all very, very different. We all learn them and we rotate them in our brains pretty much all the time when we’re not on stage, and then when we get called on for any song, you go ahead and do it without hesitation,” Rusli said. .

She is also the dance captain, a new role for her on this particular tour.

“Essentially, we are the gap between our management and the cast. We’re still cast members who are part of the show and doing the show with them, but we’re also the ones taking notes, raising cast concerns with management and really being in the middle of preserving the show and the its integrity. Rusli said.

John Devereaux started touring Hamilton in 2019.

Devereaux is on standby for King George, George Washington, Hercules Mulligan, James Madison, Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson.

“They say you have to be a certain kind of crazy to be able to cover, to be able to have multiple people in your head, but I think there’s another level to that: the ability to take all those people out at any time ,” Devereaux said. “It’s great. I love it. I still love it.”

Unpredictability is part of the job. As a swing or standby, an actor can play the same role for several shows in a row, or play a different role every night of the week. The schedule is constantly changing.

“It obviously changes from day to day. Nothing is really what we planned. As a dance captain, we are part of the planning for the following week, but it rarely goes the way we plan it,” Rusli said.

Swings and standbys hope to be notified two hours in advance, but Rusli recalls an instance where a swing had to change tracks in the middle of the show.

“I’ve been through every kind of profession, from knowing months in advance, to knowing a week ahead, to knowing hours, to even knowing minutes, but I’ve never seen a swing-on halfway through my entire career did the show,” Devereaux said.

“Keep knocking on wood!” Rusli said to her castmate with a knowing smile.

As dance captain, Rusli is part of the planning process for swings and standbys.

Devereaux develops a system to learn all his roles. As physically challenging as the show is, Devereaux and Rusli rely on their mental stamina.

“Our job is more to know the show than to do the show, but if you know the show, you’re cool and you can do the show just fine,” Devereaux said. “The swings, standbys, covers, they’re the band-aid. They are the glue that holds things together in case something goes wrong, cast-wise, especially during the 2021 return and people contracting COVID-19.

Devereaux began touring with Hamilton in 2019. Post-pandemic touring looked completely different, with masks required backstage and tested daily. Mental health was also a priority.

“When we came back there was a lot more focus on mental health internally and there were a lot of old habits and old unwritten things and unsaid things and unwritten rules, but those were brought to the fore when we came back and we addressed how some of those unwritten rules were problematic for our process,” said Devereaux.

Rusli recalls how strict COVID-19 precautions were when she first started touring and how those precautions have evolved and relaxed over the past two years.

“It was a really crazy time,” Rusli said.

Backstage tours and greeting fans at the stage door are still not allowed.

Indoor touring Hamilton laid the foundation for the future careers of Devereaux and Rusli.

“I didn’t really realize that I have the brains to swing before I joined this tour and I think this job has taught me that and that in my future career wherever I go HamiltonAt least I know I can swing and I really enjoy it, and honestly that might be my niche in this industry,” Ruli said. “I think that taught me my career path. I can do difficult things and they suit me exactly. That is what Hamilton taught me.”

“I think I’ve learned how to be resilient no matter what,” Devereaux said. “It really taught me to roll with the punches, to be intentional about what I do, but I think the big life lesson I learned Hamilton so far things are going to happen, and you can either fight them and still have to do them, or just go out and do it the best you can.

4 objectives for the new Bo Dallas & Bray Wyatt WWE faction4 objectives for the new Bo Dallas & Bray Wyatt WWE faction

WWE

With a new tease appearing today, it looks like the arrival of the new Bray Wyatt-inspired faction led by Bo Dallas will be making an appearance in WWE soon.

That begs the question: what exactly will they do and who exactly will they communicate with?

Here are four names that stand out as potential targets for the new faction when they appear.

4. Braun Strowman

WWE star Braun StrowmanWWE star Braun Strowman

Many fans were surprised that Braun Strowman was not listed among the reported names for the new faction, especially since his long absence from injury lent itself to a return in such a monumental fashion.

There’s also, of course, his storied history with Bray Wyatt as part of the Wyatt Family, and his genuine friendship and admiration for Wyatt, which is very well documented.

However, they also had their issues on WWE TV, feuding over the Universal Championship in 2020.

In fact, a match with Strowman and Wyatt kicked off Roman Reigns’ incredible run as champion – a three-way match that saw Wyatt enter as champion, but Strowman was pinned by Reigns, so maybe it’s time to avenge that.

Spurs 3-1 West Ham (WSL) | Robert’s verdict: “We scored some nice goals”

Robert Vilahamn was delighted to end our Barclays Women’s Super League campaign with three points after a 3-1 win over West Ham United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.

After taking the lead in the opening five minutes and Bethany England scoring her fifth WSL goal in six games, we took control of the first half – with over 65% possession – but failed to convert numerous chances to use.

We were quickly punished after the restart when Riko Ueki grabbed the equalizer in the 50th minute and although we hit the woodwork several times and forced Mackenzie Arnold into a number of saves, it felt like it was going to be one of those days of missed opportunities.

However, with just four minutes to go in normal time, Jess Naz put us ahead with a composed finish in the penalty area before Drew Spence completed the win in the ninth minute of stoppage time with a stunning strike from distance.

Speaking to SPURSPLAY after our N17 season finale, Robert said: “We talked before the game about ending the season on a high. I knew the players were quite tired after the third game in six days, while West Ham have trained for two weeks.

“The fans were great, we played some really good football and in the end we scored some great goals and ending with Drew’s goal was great.”

When asked about the cohesion in the squad, he said: “Ramona (Petzelberger) came in, she hasn’t started since the North London derby here, and played great football, then you have the people on the bench coming in and provide support, for example Molly (Bartrip) who makes that tackle.

“It showed the strength that we have different types of players that we can use, it’s also nice to see them so happy with the fans afterwards because that’s the most important thing in my leadership to make sure we have a group that time want to spend. together and working together… I want to win and have a great environment.”
