History greatly favors the Denver Nuggets for Game 5

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:52:24 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- There's a chance the Miami Heat can recover from their 3-1 game deficit in tonight's National Basketball Association Finals game against the Denver Nuggets. It's a very small 35-1 chance, though. Game 5 of the NBA Finals is Monday night, and with the Denver Nuggets up 3-1 against the Miami Heat, there’s a chance this game could cinch the series and give the Nuggets their first-ever NBA Championship. How can you watch the Nuggets play in Game 5 of NBA Finals? The odds are long for the Denver Nuggets to lose, but if one team has them it's the Heat. There have been 36 instances in which an NBA team faced a 3-1 deficit in the finals. Only one of those teams managed to come back from behind. In 2016, the Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back from a 3-1 trail to win. There have been 12 other comebacks from a 3-1 in NBA playoffs, however. This includes the Miami Heat's victory over the New York Knicks in the 1997 Eastern Conference semifinals. The Nuggets are heavil...

He’s ratcheted up the rhetoric against the Justice Department special counsel who filed the case, calling Jack Smith “deranged” as he repeated without any evidence his c...

The Godfather Part IV: US hits back after Orbán mocks Soros handover

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:52:24 GMT

Hungary’s troubled relationship with the United States took another twist on Monday as the two sides clashed over conspiracy theories featuring competing references to “The Godfather.” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán sparked the exchange when he tweeted the words “Soros 2.0” in response to news that Hungarian-American businessman George Soros has decided to hand over his multi-billion dollar foundation to his son, Alexander. The Hungarian leader included a clip from iconic movie “The Godfather” showing fictional mafia boss Vito Corleone kissing his son and heir, Michael. Orbán has for years run campaigns portraying Soros as a puppet master controlling Hungary’s opposition and plotting against the country’s interests, fueling concerns that the Hungarian government is spreading conspiracy theories and anti-Semitic narratives.  In 2017, the Hungarian government plastered the country with billboards depicting Soros smiling, with the...
