Kiszla: Are Nuggets at disadvantage in battle of coaching wits between Michael Malone and Erik Spoelstra?

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 06:25:08 GMT

MIAMI – On the big stage that is the NBA Finals, here’s the part nobody wants to say out loud: Where the Nuggets’ lack of championship experience could hurt them most is in the matchup between coaches Michael Malone and Erik Spoelstra.If a ring’s the thing, Spoelstra exhibits the unflappable confidence of a champion who already owns two, while Malone craves his first one with the desperate hunger of a man who hasn’t eaten in days.“He’s been to how many Finals at this point?” Heat center Bam Adebayo asked Tuesday, reminding me Spoelstra won back-to-back championships with Miami way back in 2012 and 2013. “So he has seen everything but the wind.”Spoelstra has made all the right moves in the Finals, while Malone is searching for ways to shake the Nuggets from a disturbing new trend of fourth-quarter funk.Too harsh? It’s not criticism if it’s honest.In a chess match with Malone, Spoelstra has made the aggressive moves to keep the Nuggets in check. He replaced Caleb Martin with Kevin Lov...

(CNN) — Es raro encontrar una nueva tecnología que se sienta innovadora. Pero anoche, mientras estaba sentada en un sofá en una sala de demostración privada en el campus de Apple usando sus gafas de realidad mixta Vision Pro recientemente anunciadas, sentí que había visto el futuro, o al menos un prototipo temprano y muy costoso.En la demostración —que duró 30 minutos— una mariposa virtual se posó en mi dedo, un dinosaurio con escamas detalladas trató de morderme, y me paré a centímetros del piano de Alicia Keys mientras me daba una serenata en un estudio de grabación. Cuando un pequeño osezno nadó a mi lado en un lago tranquilo durante otro video inmersivo, se sintió tan real que me recordó una experiencia con un ser querido que falleció recientemente.
