Nets vs. Celtics playoff preview: Can a Brooklyn team with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving be the underdog?
This time last year, the roles were reversed. The Nets finished the 2020-21 regular season with the No. 2 seed, while the Boston Celtics defeated the Washington Wizards in the first game of the play-in tournament to secure the East’s No. 7 spot. The Nets, with a roster headlined by Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and…
Spending Easter Sunday in search of the parade and a rogue of my own
Who doesn’t find themselves singing “In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it…” on this particular Sunday? Well, me for one, ever since I learned the real story. You know how you hear something as a child and come up with your own version of it, even though it has nothing to do…

How do the Clippers progress and become contenders?
LOS ANGELES — Now, if everyone can get healthy, the pressure’s really on. The Clippers exited the 2021-22 stage Friday, having fought to an end that wasn’t all that bitter, considering they’d had to play so much of the year without both of their leading men. With the Clippers’ season-ending 105-101 loss to the New…

Q. Hi Honk: Any chance this could be answered quickly? We’ve just sold our house. Yeah! We’re moving by June and we’ll need to register our vehicles in the state of Washington. Because we just paid California for vehicle registration, any possibility of getting the state to reimburse us for the months of registration we’re…
Mike Lupica: If Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and the Nets can’t win now, then when?
Let’s get something straight with the Nets: This isn’t about one of them. This is about both of them. All of them really. The whole Brooklyn Nets thing.

Alexander: Clippers’ early exit doesn’t dampen optimism for future
LOS ANGELES — It should have been a hollow moment, and to a degree, I’m sure it was. The Clippers were one quarter away from an appointment in Phoenix on Sunday night. They’d put together another of the comebacks for which they’ve become known, and they had New Orleans on the ropes … and then,…

I also asked, even though it almost sounded like a joke, what colors people liked on the covers. And let me tell you, people responded. If you’re unfamiliar, the NYRB book series combines Edwin Frank’s editorial…
What you need to know about planting corn in the garden
Now is the time to start planting corn. Unlike fruit trees, however, where an orchard with more than one variety of apple, avocado, or apricot tree will result in larger harvests than if only one variety is planted, it is not a good idea to plant two different corn varieties that ripen at the same…
How Chicago Cubs’ Ethan Roberts developed a nasty slider — and ‘exceeded whatever your loftiest expectations can be’
Shortly before big-league camp broke three weeks ago, Chicago Cubs pitcher Ethan Roberts tried using a new grip for his slider. The suggestion came from assistant pitching coach Daniel Moskos. Given Roberts’ natural supinated wrist position for his fastball release and how well the right-hander can spin a baseball, Moskos thought Roberts’ slider wasn’t his…
