Jamal Murray’s 40-point night evokes Bubble memories, but he’s got bigger goals: “That was just the beginning”

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 08:48:18 GMT

The snarling, stalking postseason Jamal Murray was back Wednesday night.It wasn’t in a sterilized environment devoid of fans, like the one he seized in Orlando in 2020.This 40-point classic in Game 2 of Denver’s first-round series against Minnesota was in front of his fans and gave his loyalists a moment to cherish. In Game 1, when Murray fought jitters and adrenaline to help the Nuggets rout the T-Wolves, the point guard enjoyed an appetizer of playoff basketball. The lopsided nature of the game lessened the stakes.But Wednesday, as Anthony Edwards was authoring his own 41-point masterpiece and the Timberwolves were showing more resilience than the Nuggets gave them credit for, Murray came alive.“He left a piece of him out there tonight,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said of Murray’s epic 40-point, 39-minute tour de force.Between the jostling and the jawing, and his famously clutch Blue Arrows, it was vintage Murray.“It means a lot, man,” he said of how rewarding a night like this ...

Broncos Draft Preview: Should Denver consider adding depth at inside linebacker?

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 08:48:18 GMT

Editor’s note: This is the eighth in a series of NFL draft previews as it relates to the Broncos. Today: Inside Linebackers Broncos’ in-house moves: Re-signed Alex Singleton (three years, $18 million)Under contract: Singleton, Josey Jewell (one year), Jonas Griffith (one year), Ray Wilborn (two years), Justin Strnad (one year)Need scale: 7. Inside linebacker is not a major need for the Broncos, especially after Singleton, who finished fifth in the league in tackles (163), re-signed during free agency. Jewell, however, is entering the final year of his deal, so that could convince the Broncos to draft an inside linebacker in the later rounds.Top Five1. Jack Campbell, Iowa: The two-year starter received the 2022 Butkus Award as the nation’s top linebacker after he totaled 128 tackles (5 ½ for loss). Campbell finished 19th in Iowa history in tackles (305), with 271 of those stops coming in the last two seasons. He has the potential to be an impactful rookie with his athleticism and abi...

Kiszla: For Nuggets to be champs, Michael Porter Jr. and Michael Malone must navigate bumpy road to full trust between young player and demanding coach

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 08:48:18 GMT

Starving all evening, the big dog needed to eat. As the clock in the Nuggets locker room started its slow climb toward the midnight hour, Michael Porter Jr put a cellphone to his ear and placed a take-out order for everything on Page 2 of the restaurant’s menu: Lamb chops. Brussel sprouts. A steak (well done). Macaroni and cheese.OK, everybody. Stand back and let the big dog eat. For MPJ, it was a late-night feast that was both well-deserved and hard-earned. When the Nuggets needed him most, Porter cooked.“He went on an 8-0 run by himself,” Jokic said Wednesday, saluting MPJ’s offensive outburst at the outset of the fourth quarter as “the reason we won the game.” And this was a 122-113 playoff victory against Minnesota that tested the championship mettle of Porter and the Nuggets.It’s all the small things that make a champion.What we are witnessing are unmistakable hints the road to trust between Michael Malone and Porter, which has been littered with potholes along the way, is now ...

First time regulation of crypto space breakthrough for consumer protection and the fight against money laundering

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 08:48:18 GMT

Today (20 April), MEPs have just voted through the outcome of two key files regulating the crypto sphere for the first time. The Transfer of Funds Regulation and Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation are the first major regulations to address the lack of transparency in the sector and provide greater security to investors, while mitigating risks of money laundering and criminality. Ernest Urtasun MEP, Greens/EFA Co-Rapporteur on the Transfer of Funds Regulation and Shadow Rapporteur on MiCA Regulation, comments: “MiCA and the Transfer of Funds Regulation mark the end of the unregulated wild west of crypto and the start of a new era of regulated oversight in the crypto space. The lack of regulation around crypto assets has resulted in massive losses for many first-time investors and provided a safe haven for hackers, fraudsters and international criminal networks for over a decade. “We have pushed for more ambitious and robust legislation that will support the fight against money laund...
