The other 11 Finals, the non-LeBron tilts? 15.2 million. A drop of 11.6%.So, yeah, forgive Nuggets Nation for raising an eyebrow every time James and Anthony Davis start their nightly march to the free throw line. Or raising two.“(Denver fans) need to stop that,” longtime NBA sharpshooter and current Turner Sports analyst Reggie Miller said before Nuggets-Lakers Game 2 on Thursday night at Ball Arena. “Control the things you can control. They need to stop that. Seriously.“The Lakers, are they going to get calls? Yeah. OK. Big deal. So does (Nikola) Jokic. And so does Jamal Murray.

SAN FRANCISCO — A city resident who lost his brother, son, and wife in a series of tragic incidents has been sentenced to federal prison for 41 months, despite having been acquitted in January of possessing the bullet that killed his wife, court records show.The story of 44-year-old Omar Pope dates back to last year, when federal prosecutors charged him with two felony counts: being a felon in possession of a loaded gun in May 2022, and possessing the bullet that killed his wife in December 2021, as the couple struggled over a pistol inside their home.Pope made the unusual move of pleading guilty to the May possession charge and taking the second count to trial.
