Phoenix Suns to face Arizona’s most ‘hated’ NBA player, Paul George, in Clippers series

Sports, ,
Jeremy Cluff | Arizona Republic Troy Warren for CNT   PG13 and Playoff P are a couple of nicknames for Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George. But evidently you can call the forward something else for the Western Conference Finals against the Phoenix Suns. Arizona's most "hated" NBA player. BetOnline.ag recently released a map of the most hated NBA player in each state, based on geotagged Twitter data, and George was apparently Arizona's player of choice. Not LeBron James, not Kyrie Irving. Not even Marcus or Markieff Morris, but Paul George. George and Westbrook were the only players to be just one state's most…

Historic drought in California and the West is getting biblical: What to know

Editors Picks, Lifestyle, Weather
Eric Mack | CNET.Com Troy Warren for CNT In 2021, the American desert and the West Coast are drier now than at any time in perhaps the past 400 years. This month, the western US is seeing records fall as an early-season heat wave sends temperatures soaring into the triple digits. It's a worrying sign for a region already in the grips of a historic drought and recovering from last year's destructive wildfires. Now, as fire season ramps up again, unprecedented water shortages are also in the mix, raising anxieties among farmers and municipal water managers facing reductions or even being…

Roku CEO On Quibi Acquisition: “To Be Honest We Just Got a Good Deal”

Digital, Entertainment, Technology, ,
BY ALEX WEPRIN | HollywoodReporter.Com Troy Warren for CNT "We are looking for shows that work well with the AVOD business model," Anthony Wood said of the company's future content plans. Roku plans to continue investing in original content, but don’t expect it to compete with Netflix or Disney. “As the scale grows, it just makes sense for us … to do some originals, and to start making some of our own content,” Roku CEO Anthony Wood said Friday. “The reason we do it is quite different than a traditional SVOD service. For those services customers pay a monthly fee, and they have to…

2021 Ducati Multistrada V4 S review: Maybe the best motorcycle on sale today

2021 Ducati Multistrada V4 S review: Maybe the best motorcycle on sale today

Motorcycle, ,
Kyle Hyatt | CNET.Com Troy Warren for CNT The Multistrada is the first bike to offer both adaptive cruise control and blind-spot warning. The 2021 Ducati Multistrada V4 S is arguably the most technologically advanced motorcycle available today. Not only is it a fast 170-horsepower canyon carver, it's also an ultra-comfortable road trip machine and around-town rig. Adventure motorcycles are typically pretty good at most tasks, but the new Multistrada takes that to a new level with several world-first (for a bike) safety features. The two biggest changes from the old Multistrada 1260 to the new version are the transition to the bike's first V4, plus…
