The celebration began after Bojan Bogdanovic missed a potential game-winner. The Mavs were up two points with 4.3 seconds remaining in a closeout Game 6 when Bogey’s put up his prayer after pump-faking Spencer Dinwiddie out of his way for a wide-open three-pointer from the left-wing.
The moment seemed to hang in the air, but Bogey’s shot was short, Donovan Mitchell nearly fell to his knees in disbelief as Luka Doncic, and the Mavs celebrated getting to round two.
“Oh, man, I thought, ‘He don’t miss a lot of those,’” Doncic said, per ESPN. “My heart stopped.”
For the first time since 2011, the Mavericks have won a playoff series. The 98-96 closeout win also represented Doncic’s first playoff series win and will be the first time he’s moved past the first round in his bright career.
Doncic finished Game 6 with 24 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists in 42 minutes, playing the entire second half as the Mavs rallied from a 12-point halftime deficit. The triumphant comeback came after the Mavs torched Utah’s defense with 14 second-half triples, the most in one half in Dallas playoff history.
“Happiness, man,” Doncic said. “I think we worked really hard to get here. I think we deserve to get past the first round. Everybody fought their ass off today. We didn’t play good today, but everybody was staying together. Keeping everybody together was the key to win this game.”
The third quarter proved vital as the Mavs outscored the Jazz 36-19 and knocked down 8-12 three-pointers. Ten out of the Mavs’ 13 bucks were assisted, primarily thanks to the decisive decision-making of Doncic out of traps and double-teams. Doncic had one dime but scored 10 points, including two step-back threes in the monumental third frame.
“I like sharing the ball,” Doncic said. “If they’re going to [double-team], somebody is going to be open. We’ve been playing against blitzes or hits the whole season, and I think we did great. Then it’s just basketball, four-on-three.”
Game 1 of the Suns-Mavs second-round series will start on Monday.
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst explained why he didn’t select a wide receiver in the first round to replace Davante Adams.
The Packers haven’t drafted a wide receiver in the first round for 20 straight years, an astounding accomplishment for a team that has featured two of the best quarterbacks in the history of football — Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers.
Surrounding Rodgers with weapons has never been a problem, because he can often make the best out of a bad situation. He knows this, but it doesn’t help matters that Green Bay traded away the top target of his career in Davante Adams earlier this offseason for draft picks — picks they apparently aren’t using to replace him.
Money played a pivotal role in Adams’ departure, and Rodgers has opted to take the high road rather than voice his displeasure directly.
“I’m sure Packer nation will be wondering why we didn’t take a receiver or trade up but at this point, you’ve just got to have some faith in the organization…we’re going to find a way in Matt’s offense to be successful like we always have,” Rodgers said.
Brian Gutekunst: Packers explored wide receiver options
Brian Gutekunst says he “explored some options” to trade up for a receiver in the first round when the run started. Obviously, he did not. Asked him if #Packers “have to” draft a WR tomorrow. He stops short of that point, but says there are good WRs left.
It doesn’t sound like wideout was completely off the table, which is an improvement from years past. Instead, Green Bay added two Georgia products in linebacker Quay Walker at No. 22 and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt at No. 28.
While Gutekunst continues to field questions about why he refuses to surround the best player in franchise history with more weapons, Rodgers admitted he was surprised by the Adams trade on the Pat McAfee show.
“I thought based on the number we offered Davante and being able to play with me for a few more years would definitely make a difference, but in the end he was ready to move on,” Rodgers said.
He wished Adams in the best in Vegas, as well.
It had long been rumored that Adams and Rodgers discussed their futures together as part of the latter’s decision to come back to the Packers. Ultimately, No. 12’s last few seasons will come without his greatest target.
Yoshida added that he thinks the game’s story, which is obviously a very different experience from Final Fantasy 14 Online (which he also produces), is a fleshed-out experience that will bring older fans back.
Yoshida Naoki says that FF16 is already in the final stages of development, and he says the story is a very well fleshed out one.
His comment was released in the Final Fantasy 35th Anniversary Uniqlo magazine. Here’s the full translation! pic.twitter.com/X23AFqOXfJ
“Unlike an online game that involves many players at the same time, Final Fantasy 16 offers a different experience where it focuses on the individual player and immerses you in the story,” he said per the translation.
“For those who have grown up and realised that reality isn’t kind to you and have drifted away from Final Fantasy, we hope that Final Fantasy 16 will be a game that can bring back anew the passion that you once had with the series.”
He also promised that a big reveal would take place in spring this year, meaning it may not be long before fans find out when they can expect to play the game.
Given that Final Fantasy 16’s development is in its final stages, and 2022 marks the franchise’s 35th anniversary, it would certainly make sense for Square Enix to release the first mainline entry since 2016 this year.

The Klopp dynasty continues
If 2021/22 has showcased anything, it is how lucky fans are to have both Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp managing in England at the same time.
The managers have put together two simply sensational sides that can go toe-to-toe with any team in Europe. The pair have also given birth to one of the most entertaining rivalries in modern football, with every match between the pair always a spectacle.
Now, we look set to see at least one of those bosses stick around a little while longer as Jurgen Klopp has signed a new deal at Liverpool until 2026. Should Pep Guardiola follow suit in Manchester, we are sure to be treated to many more classic encounters between the two powerhouses.
We are delighted to announce Jürgen Klopp has signed a new contract to extend his commitment with the club! 🔴
The race for 4th spot looks set to go down to the final day of the Premier League campaign.
After a recent blip from Tottenham, Arsenal now occupy 4th spot, sitting two points clear of their north London rivals.
However, the Gunners face a fairly tough trip to West Ham this weekend whilst Tottenham play host to Leicester City. Both games have the potential to cause upsets with just five games left to play in 2021/22.
Brighton can make history
Brighton are on course to make history in 2021/22. Despite Graham Potter sometimes catching the ire of the Seagulls fans, the former Swansea man is set to guide Brighton to their most successful season in Premier League history.
The south coast outfit have spent the previous four campaigns in the Premier League, with their highest points total 41.
Now though, Brighton are already on 41 points with four games to play – meaning a simple draw vs Wolves would be enough to break the record.
Liverpool’s tough test
Liverpool and Manchester City are neck and neck in the 2021/22 Premier League title race.
Just one point separates the pair with five games left to play apiece. Now though, Liverpool are set to face one of their tougher tests in recent weeks.
Newcastle causing Liverpool any sort of problem was unthinkable six months ago. However, Eddie Howe, with the help of his big-spending January, has transformed Newcastle into a side with a formidable home record. The North East outfit are unbeaten in their last seven home league ties. Will Liverpool have enough to break them down after a gruelling test vs Villarreal in midweek?
Everton in danger
The prospect of Everton being relegated from the Premier League this season is now very much turning into a reality.
The Toffees have slipped into the bottom three and, thanks to a mini Burnley resurgence, are now two points from safety.
Granted, Everton do have a game in hand on the Clarets, but Everton must face off with Chelsea this weekend, whilst Burnley have a much easier test vs a Watford side who have won just six games all season and are in possession of the second-worst defence in the Premier League.

Despite a let-up in the U.S. dollar’s relentless bull run, Bitcoin showed little signs of strength as it remained firmly under $40,000.
Macro factors remained against the largest cryptocurrency along with risk assets more broadly, commentators noted, as the Federal Reserve reduced its balance sheet.
The start of #Fed deleveraging? Fed balance sheet has shrunk for the 2nd consecutive week. Total assets now at $8,939bn, equal to 36.6% of US’ GDP vs ECB’s 82% or BoJ’s 137%. pic.twitter.com/0GRR5VgGIe
For Amazon, meanwhile, the pain was immediately obvious as missed earnings targets resulted in AMZN’s biggest intraday loss in eight years.
The S&P 500 traded down 1% at the time of writing, while the Nasdaq 100 was down 0.9%.
Focusing on Bitcoin, popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital argued that the relative strength index (RSI) may need to form a higher low and rebound in order to provide the market with the fuel for a breakout on short timeframes.
In its latest chart update on whale behavior, meanwhile, data from on-chain analysis platform Whalemap showed that buying behavior is echoing the bear market bottom of late 2018.
According to its data, whales with balances of between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC are busy accumulating BTC to the extent that they were when BTC/USD hit $3,100 in December that year. The volumes even outdo those from the $3,600 crash in March 2020.
“Whales are accumulating as much Bitcoin today as they were at the $3K lows,” analyst and indicator creator Charles Edwards commented.
“These are holders with approx. $40M – $400M in their wallets today. In 2018, that was $4M – 40M (but there were no ‘institutions’ then either).”
This week, Whalemap also noted that current spot price levels represent historically significant ground for buyers and sellers alike.

“From a sociology perspective, customs are so deeply rooted in a society that change won’t happen overnight,” he said. “The change is desirable, but we’ll have to see.”
But other Koreans don’t see any benefit to changing the age system, or the hierarchy that underlies it. It represents more than a number, they say — it’s the foundation of human connection.
“It might be tiresome to keep track of everyone’s ages, but once you establish an older-younger relationship, the connection between people flourishes more naturally,” said Chung Hae-rang, a 63-year-old retired teacher from the city of Bucheon, just outside Seoul.
It also creates bonds in other ways, he said. If you change that system, he said, among college freshmen, for instance, “there would be some who would be permitted into bars and others who are not” under the international age system. If everyone born in the same year is the same age, that problem is eliminated, he added.
Cho Moon-ju, who works for a Seoul university, also said that the Korean system increases camaraderie among people — even strangers — who were born in the same year. That is how she has connected with other parents at her children’s schools, said Ms. Cho, who opposes Mr. Yoon’s plan to change the system.
Strangers born in the same year can also assume that they have been through similar difficulties, she said.
As an example, she recalled one of South Korea’s most devastating disasters — the 2014 accident in which nearly 300 high school students drowned on a ferry. “If you realize that you and someone you just met were both in the 11th grade when the Sewol ferry sank,” she said, “you share common, deep feelings.”
Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series’ premium smartphone has turned out to be one of the best-selling phones for the company. One of the smartest features that sets apart the Samsung Galaxy S22 from other models is the introduction of Smart Widgets that the users can swipe through. Now, the South Korean smartphone maker appears to be bringing the swipeable Smart Widgets to all tablets, including the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8. These Smart Widgets were limited to the latest One UI 4.1 phones for a long time, before Samsung decided to feature it on its Galaxy tablets, including the Tab S8.
As per a report by 9to5Google, the feature currently is rolling out to Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 users. A few of these tablets running the March security patch released on April 15 have the Smart Widget available in the Widgets list. These widgets are available in three sizes — 2×2, 4×1, and 4×2. While the smallest size of 2×2 widget is not resizable, users will be able to resize the other two widgets to fit the full width of the screen.
To get easy access to the customisation options for the current widget, one has to long-press on a grouping. Apart from adjusting size, the user can also remove any widget, or add a new one. This allows users to decide the apps that they want to place on their phone or tablets. Much like Apple’s stackable widgets, the Smart Widgets for Android allow users to select and combine multiple widgets into one, available with just one easy swipe.
The long press also provides user the option to remove the entire smart widget, or look into the Settings, where one can switch to full screen interface and turn ‘Auto rotate widgets’ on and off.
If you have used Smart Widget on the Samsung Galaxy S21 and Samsung Galaxy S22, it will be easy to access the feature on the tablets as the functioning is similar. To cycle through widgets, one can swipe left or right. The feature that allows to swipe widgets was reportedly added with the mid-April update and is currently limited to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8. We’ve reached out to the company to comment on the rollout, and will update this space when we hear back.

While Star Wars Celebration 2022 is still weeks away, we already know one of the new projects Lucasfilm will be revealing at the convention. Thanks to a now-deleted panel schedule posting, we’ve learned a new animated anthology series called Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi is in the works.
Fans of the classic Legends timeline will probably recognize that particular branding. Tales of the Jedi is a name with deep significance to the Star Wars mythos. The original Dark Horse Comics series was among the first Star Wars stories to flesh out the ancient history of the Jedi Order and their war with the Sith. Will this animated series follow that example? We don’t know much yet, but this is a good opportunity to look back at Tales of the Jedi and how the original comics may inform the newest animated Star Wars series.
These are the topics we cover here:
Every Upcoming Star Wars Movie and TV Show
Tales of the Jedi: The Basics
Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi is a series of comic book story arcs published by Dark Horse between 1993 and 1998. The series was originally conceived by writer Tom Veitch, who is considered to be one of the core architects of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. While Veitch’s first Star Wars project, Dark Empire, was a sequel set six years after the events of Return of the Jedi, Veitch included references to ancient Jedi Knights and Sith Lords in that series. Those references became the foundation on which Tales of the Jedi was built.
Tales of the Jedi is largely set 4000 years before the era of the movies, in a time when the ancient Jedi Order is at war with the Sith (who at that point were depicted as a singular race of Force-sensitive aliens rather than the secretive order they would later become). Later Tales of the Jedi arcs delved even further back in the Star Wars timeline, exploring a period 5000 years before the movies.
Together with co-writer Kevin J. Anderson (who also penned the Jedi Academy Trilogy of novels around the same time), Veitch fleshed out an era of Star Wars history that fans knew almost nothing about at the time. And even though Tales of the Jedi has been rendered non-canon like most of the Expanded Universe, it’s a series that continues to exert a strong influence on contemporary stories.
Tales of the Jedi is largely set 4000 years before the era of the movies, in a time when the ancient Jedi Order is at war with the Sith.

The Plot of Tales of the Jedi
While Tales of the Jedi is ostensibly an anthology series focused on different characters and conflicts in the Old Republic era, the various stories do connect to form an overarching narrative. The series is largely about the rise and fall of Ulic Qel-Droma, a Jedi Knight from Alderaan who becomes corrupted by the Dark Side. Over the course of the series, Qel-Droma battles the Sith Empire and falls in love with fellow Jedi Nomi Sunrider, only to succumb to the temptation of darkness himself.
Ulic Qel-Droma is the prototypical fallen Jedi Knight.
Qel-Droma’s story is deeply intertwined with that of Exar Kun, another former Jedi who turns to the Dark Side. Kun was originally created by Anderson for the Jedi Academy Trilogy, which reveals that his spirit was tethered to the abandoned temple on Yavin IV that briefly served as the base of the Rebel Alliance. Working together, Anderson and Veitch integrated Kun into the overarching Tales of the Jedi storyline, and the comics showcase the Sith Lord at the height of his power and reveal how he met his eventual end.
Tales of the Jedi proved to be hugely influential for the franchise, establishing key pieces of the Jedi/Sith mythology in a time before the Star Wars prequels began to cover that ground. Among other things, these comics cover pivotal conflicts like the Freedon Nadd Uprising and the Great Hyperspace War and introduce the ancient Sith Empire and the warriors of Mandalore. Above all, Tales of the Jedi proved that even thousands of years before the time of Luke And Anakin Skywalker, some of the galaxy’s most powerful Jedi battled the influence of the Dark Side.
You may be wondering where the Knights of the Old Republic games fit in. The KOTOR name actually originated in the comic, as it’s the subtitle of one of the major Tales of the Jedi story arcs. The games themselves are also essentially direct sequels to the comic. The original Knights of the Old Republic is set roughly 40 years after the conclusion of Tales of the Jedi.
KOTOR builds on the Jedi/Mandalorian conflict introduced in the comic, introducing Sith Lord Darth Revan and their apprentice Darth Malak. Like Exar Kun and Ulic-Qel Droma before them, Revan and Malak were distinguished Jedi Knights who fell to the temptation of the Dark Side. The exact reasons for their shared downfall weren’t revealed until the release of The Old Republic, an MMORPG set several centuries later. In the process, The Old Republic ties back to the Sith Empire mythology introduced in Tales of the Jedi.
Long before Darth Maul, Exar Kun showed the power of a double-bladed lightsaber.
KOTOR puts players in the shoes of an amnesic main character and a ragtag band of Jedi, smugglers, Mandalorians and one extremely cranky droid as they seek to prevent Malak from unleashing one of the galaxy’s deadliest super-weapons. The sequel, set a decade later, shifts focus to a disgraced Jedi known as the Jedi Exile as they battle a triumvirate of upstart Sith Lords.
While the KOTOR games are sequels to Tales of the Jedi, there are some storytelling discrepancies between the two. Tales of the Jedi was released before the Star Wars prequels materialized, whereas KOTOR arrived a year after Episode II hit theaters. When Tales of the Jedi was being published, George Lucas hadn’t established basic details like the idea that “Darth” is an honorific adopted by all Sith Lords, not just Vader. The technology and architecture of KOTOR is also wildly different from Tales of the Jedi. The latter showcases the Star Wars universe in a much more primal and less technologically advanced state, one where the influence of Westerns and samurai movies is even more apparent.
With the announcement of a Tales of the Jedi animated series and the upcoming Knights of the Old Republic remake, it’ll be interesting to see how closely intertwined the two projects are. Will we see a more unified vision for how the Star Wars universe looked 4000 years before the movies?
Tales of the Jedi: The Animated Series
Currently, very little is known about the Tales of the Jedi animated series, and that likely won’t change until the show’s official reveal at Star Wars Celebration 2022 on May 28. For now, only two details have emerged – Tales of the Jedi is an anthology series consisting of short, animated episodes (similar to the anime-styled Star Wars: Visions), and The Clone Wars executive producer Dave Filoni is involved. Presumably, the series will be exclusive to Disney+, but even that detail has yet to be confirmed.
At this point, it’s unclear if Tales of the Jedi is directly inspired by the original comics or simply repurposing the name. It’s possible the series will take place in a similar setting, exploring the Old Republic era and introducing reimagined versions of characters like Ulic Qel-Droma and Nomi Sunrider into the official Disney canon.
Star Wars: Every Jedi and Every Sith Ever
However, it’s also possible the series might cast a wider net. The show might focus on established Jedi like Luke, Rey and Ahsoka Tano as well as older generations of Jedi Knights. It could also explore the High Republic era, a setting that has been a major focus of Lucasfilm’s publishing division in recent years. If so, it would be the second Star Wars series to take place during the High Republic, after Leslye Headland’s Star Wars: The Acolyte.

In his new book, Playmakers, Mike Florio sets out to pierce readers’ misconceptions about how the NFL really does and doesn’t work.
Over the last 20 years, Mike Florio has distinguished himself as one of the most prominent names in NFL analysis. Through his blog ProFootballTalk, and as an analyst on NBC’s Sunday Night Football. there is hardly anything that has happened in the league in the last two decades that he has not commented upon.
Now, Florio has written his first book, Playmakers: How the NFL Really Works (And Doesn’t), attempting to make sense of the shifts and changes in the NFL during that period, offering a capsule history of the league since the turn of the century. However, while the book does indeed cover these transformative moments, it fails to offer the necessary perspective that would make it an insightful work.
The book is split into 10 sections, each featuring about 10 chapters. The sections all cover broad topics from “The Draft” to “Owners,” from “Healthy and Safety” to “Off-Field Player Misconduct.” In the chapters, which focus on individuals or specific events, Florio’s experience as a blogger and radio host is evident. Nearly every single one of them is three pages long, prizing brevity and quick-hitting takes over depth. Also, the writing itself feels almost adversarial, with each page filled with argumentative statements. However, it is not always clear just what readers are to be convinced of.
Playmakers is a book where trite statements like “The fact that a Tom Brady became buried so deep in the [NFL Draft] process shows that ultimately no one really knows what they’re getting when it’s time to put names on draft cards” are delivered as if they are revelations. Who does not know this? Take this excerpt from the introduction:
“We’ve become conditioned over the years to think it’s glitz and it’s glamour and it’s riches and it’s luxury and it’s whatever else is good and enviable to play in the NFL. It’s not. It’s pain and it’s agony and it’s surgeries and it’s pressure and it’s stress and it’s everyone you know wanting some of what you have, and it’s a far cry from the fun, thrilling life that a resentful nation of fans believes to be.”
I do not know anyone who still believes these things. In a post-Kaepernick, post-Ray Rice, post-League of Denial world, these beliefs about the NFL being a glamorous or relatively moral enterprise have long been untenable. It simply feels like Florio is late to the party, sharing opinions that may have been provocative a decade ago, but feel staid and commonsense now.
The book does function as a tribute to the NFL’s elasticity. It’s too big to fail. As he writes, “The game is a multibillion-dollar business that continues to thrive in many respects because of itself, and in many more despite itself.” The league “never seems to be very far from actual or potential scandals” but continues “making more and more money” regardless. On the whole, such scandals, despite their prevalence and seriousness, “never seem to do much damage to the ever-rising bottom line.”
It’s a bleak statement that is certainly correct, but it’s also one that Florio seems ill-equipped to explore or take to its logical conclusion. He analyzes the NFL’s issues through an amoral lens, caring ultimately about how they affect the league. While he purportedly does this to critique the league, or show the issues inherent to it, it ultimately means he performs the same task he appears to criticize.
Government oversight maybe what the NFL fears most
There are some interesting statements near the end of the book about how what the NFL fears most is governmental oversight. Florio appears to believe that such oversight and regulation is not certain, but it is likely, especially with gambling establishing a stronger foothold nationwide. As he seems to see it, the struggle to avoid this will be the defining story of the next several years in the NFL.
If the NFL wants to stave it off, they need to do a better job of enforcing rules and increasing accountability. However, as he acknowledges, the NFL has historically been “far more reactive than proactive,” an issue that has caused and exacerbated a number of the problems detailed throughout the book. Can the NFL break that habit?
In one way, Playmakers compares unfavorably to Ben Detrick and Andrew Kuo’s much more enjoyable The Joy of Basketball. Both books attempt to make sense of their respective sport’s recent past, though structurally, Florio’s book is organized topically rather than alphabetically. However, while The Joy of Basketball clearly relishes the NBA and the game of basketball, possessing a clear point of view that can help cast well-known players and teams in new lights, Playmakers lacks that distinctiveness and that delight. Common are chapters where Florio simply recounts an event or topic of conversation from years past, but without offering any new insights or opinions on it, prompting this reader to wonder what they were supposed to take from it.
Playmakers is a disappointing book that contains a lot of information and a handful of strong opinions but never adds up to anything solid. Though it offers a broad look at the NFL of the last 20 years, it is lacking in depth. Perhaps there are football fans who will enjoy reliving these past two decades with Florio, or more casual fans who want to familiarize themselves with the league that will find this useful, but on the whole, it does not seem clear who this book is for. There are many better books on the modern NFL and while Playmakers may cover more topics than most, the best of its competitors make up for this by featuring stronger research, greater depth, and better prose.
