In home-court, hold-serve series with Suns, Nuggets coach Michael Malone reflects on earning “transient” Denver fanbase
Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 02:41:47 GMT
After his first season in Denver, Nuggets coach Michael Malone learned the locals’ relationship with his team might not always be one of unconditional love.“Met with some of the business folks talking about how we could get more people in the building,” Malone reflected after the fifth game of a home-court, hold-serve playoff series with the Phoenix Suns. “They were saying, ‘Coach, the people that live in Denver, most of them are not native to this area. It’s a transient city with people from all over. So you’ve gotta earn their fandom and you’ve gotta build a winner.'”That meeting has been on Malone’s mind recently because he and the Nuggets have witnessed the message getting stretched to fruition in these playoffs. Denver is 6-0 at Ball Arena and 1-3 away from home entering Thursday night’s Game 6 in Phoenix. The only NBA team left standing with home-court advantage over the Nuggets is the winner of the Boston-Phila...Mother of Club Q shooting suspect ejected from court over profane outbursts

The team at Vital Garden Supply continues to prove cultivating organic cannabis is very much possible at scale. As mega gardens have become more prominent and significant in the wake of Prop 64’s passing seven years ago, people wanted more shortcuts to go with the scale of their operation. Many didn’t care much what was in it if it passed testing and made their lives easier. Much of the time because they weren’t smoking it themselves. Brian Malin from Vital Garden Supply is the exact opposite of that ethos. Since 2006, Vital Garden Supply has provided California gardeners of all kinds with the means to grow things organically. But, of course, the company holds a special place in the hearts of cannabis farmers, to the extent that when the state said it was time to create a mechanism to certify organic cannabis farming in California, they called Malin in to help write the rules for the OCal program.Pacific Reserve in Salinas.This week we got to visit Pacific Reserve’s farm in Salinas....Letters: S.F. homeless | Striking teachers | Reality of aging | SVB accountability | Santos indictment

I think it is the most beautiful city in the world, and I’ve always loved its progressive politics. However, I’m worried.I never thought I’d agree with George Skelton, but I too believe it is time to do something about the terrible homeless situation. My husband and I have resolved not to return to the SOMA theaters after a recent visit required walking past people lying on the cold cement and defecating in the gutter. I know many others who are avoiding the city altogether. It feels as though the city has abandoned this large group of suffering humans. It is time for city leaders to take responsibility.The city has been more and more deserted lately, and I understand why. San Francisco, please get on...Latest news
