The rivalry will be renewed when Booker’s Suns host Doncic’s Mavericks at the Footprint Center to open the 2022-23 season.

After the two teams went back and forth in Games 1 through 6, Doncic and the Mavs embarrassed Phoenix on its home floor in Game 7, providing us all with a lasting image that has been a go-to meme on Twitter, Instagram and in group messages everywhere....

The single player element of Battlefield 3 will be getting as much focus as it has in the Bad Company series, with the exception that the story will have a much more serious tone this time around. Achievements will actually take some mindfulness to accomplish, rather than the simple “completed single player mission” achievements we’re used to seeing in most first person shooters. The multiplayer achievements sound like they’ll be rewarded to players who try out all the classes and vehicles....

They got the wigs right, and Bening took care of the rest. She has been nominated for three Oscars–for best supporting actress in “The Grifters,” and for best actress in “American Beauty” and “Being Julia.” This year she’s almost certain to get another shot at the gold for her performance as a narcissistic, mentally ill mother in “Scissors,” based on Augusten Burroughs’s best-selling memoir. Her character, Deirdre, gives up teenage Augusten (Joseph Cross) for adoption to her quack psychiatrist (Brian Cox), while she dreams of becoming the next Anne Sexton....

Lebanon was already struggling with a deepening economic crisis which has prompted hyperinflation and the shortage of basic goods, a political crisis which has left the government directionless and divided, and a coronavirus pandemic that has crippled the already struggling economy and continues to spread through the population.

On May 1, Nathalie Moermans and 16-year-old Marie set off from their home in the city of La Louvière, in southern Belgium, in the homemade vehicle to queue behind cars at a nearby drive-thru. The idea came to Moermans after Marie spoke about wanting a McDonald’s. Moermans initially said they couldn’t go to the only McDonald’s that was open, a drive-thru, as they didn’t have a car. And because the country is still in lockdown they couldn’t borrow anyone else’s car....

For the second consecutive game, the club’s only summer signing was starting on the bench – in spite of the fact that he had scored on his debut the weekend before. Just 24 hours before the Brighton clash, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had called criticism of United’s activity during the transfer window as “disrespectful”, as he felt it overlooked the significance of Van de Beek’s arrival from Ajax. “He is a top player and he strengthens our team,” Solskjaer argued....
