Postseason feel for Thunder, Bucks in NBA Cup final

Published by Parlour News

LAS VEGAS Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks hope to add the NBA Cup to their list of accomplishments, but they’ll need to go through an Oklahoma City Thunder group that’s established itself as the premier force in the West. HT Image The Bucks and Thunder will square off here Tuesday in the second-ever NBA Cup championship game. Antetokounmpo rose to the occasion in the Bucks’ 110-102 win over the Atlanta Hawks in Saturday’s semifinal. He fell one assist shy of a triple-double but was dominant nonetheless, tallying 32 points and 14 rebounds. A victory in the Cup final would punctuate a drastic early-season turnaround for Milwaukee, which has won 12 of its last 15 games after starting the year 2-8. Antetokounmpo is averaging a league-high 32.7 points over 23 games this season and is firmly in contention to win his third MVP award. Damian Lillard’s recent performance has also been key in Milwaukee’s turnaround, as the eight-time All-Star is scoring 25.7 points per game. As much as Antetokounmpo wants to be the greatest, he …

Bucks get second crack at NBA Cup semis vs. Trae Young, Hawks

Published by Parlour News

LAS VEGAS The Milwaukee Bucks are making a return trip to the NBA Cup semifinals after falling short in Sin City last season. This time around, they’ll have the responsibility of stopping one of the game’s great entertainers in Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks. HT Image Young rolled a pair of imaginary dice over the New York Knicks’ midcourt logo in the closing moments of the Hawks’ 108-100 win in the quarterfinals on Tuesday, a nod to the Hawks’ trip to Vegas. It was yet another example of Young’s showmanship, something the Knicks have seen firsthand over the years. The Bucks also got to experience a bit of Young’s big-game prowess in the 2021 Eastern Conference finals, but Young suffered an ankle injury in Game 3 of that series and wasn’t the same the rest of the way. If “Ice Trae” has it his way, the Bucks will be the latest victim of his prime-time heroics on Saturday night. Even if he doesn’t like to linger on the memories of that series. “I don’t …

Eleven years ago, four of the six highest paid players at the inaugural edition of the Hockey India League (HIL) were foreigners. Three years later, German midfielder Moritz Furste was sold for an eye-watering sum of $105,000 (Rs 65 lakh) with countrymen Florain Fuchs and Tobias Hauke also fetching $96,000 (Rs 59 lakh) each. On Sunday, on day 1 of the player auction for the revamped HIL — making its return after a seven-year absence — the team-composition strategy for the franchises seem to have shifted. The highest sums were reserved for the marquee players of India’s recent bronze-medal triumph at the Paris Olympics. India captain Harmanpreet Singh received the highest bid of Rs 78 lakh from the JSW-owned Soorma Hockey Club, while promising forward Abhishek was acquired by Srachi Rarh Bengal Tigers for Rs 72 lakh and midfielder Hardik Singh went for Rs 70 lakh to the UP Rudras. Not as if the purse strings tightened totally for foreign players. German defender Gonzalo Peillart, among the best in the world, was snapped up by …

Image was shared on Instagram. (Image courtesy: iamsonalibendre) Mumbai: Actor Sonali Bendre says she had decided to pack her bags and leave the film industry if she was unable to do a good performance in the song Humma Humma from Mani Ratnam’s 1995 movie Bombay. Bendre, who was barely five films old in the industry, said she was often “slammed” by choreographers for her moves until she got a breakthrough for her stint as the female dancer in the superhit track Humma Humma alongside Prabhu Deva’s brother Raju Sundaram. According to the actor, it was a common perception at the time that one couldn’t become a heroine if they didn’t know how to dance. The 49-year-old said she wanted to give it a shot as the song was choreographed by the legendary Prabhu Deva. “I’m not a trained dancer. When I got into movies, I really got slammed by dance directors for my dancing. Badi heroine banne chali hai, dancing nahi aata. So, if you couldn’t dance, you couldn’t be a heroine. I was going …
