Oddmakers project the Nets will win fewer than 25 games. The delusionally confident Nets think they can win twice that many.  They’ve set it as a goal, talking about it privately and now publicly.  “That’s the goal from Day 1. We said our goal is to get 50 wins,” Terance Mann said Monday when asked by The Post about trying to lead a young, inexperienced group that, heretofore, has no idea how to win.  “So you’re going to have to go in there with the mentality that we’re going to get 50 wins.

According to a new study, 48% of Americans are “career cushioning” — exploring what backup options they have if their current job doesn’t meet their expectations.

Meanwhile, 52%…

Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin have been going strong since June 2018, but their love story started out with some hesitation. “I knew I wasn’t in a good mindset at the time, and maybe deep inside I knew it could be something more,” Palvin told W Magazine during a February 2019 joint interview with Sprouse, explaining why she didn’t respond for six months after he slid into her DMs in August 2017. The pair met earlier that year at a Harper’s Bazaar party. “I cracked jokes, she cracked jokes and we clicked,” Sprouse told Page Six in September 2018. Despite…

When the Yankees faced a Red Sox lefty in Game 1 of the AL wild-card series last year, Aaron Boone sent Jazz Chisholm Jr. to the bench, much to his chagrin.  History could repeat itself Tuesday night, with Boone having to decide whether to start the left-handed hitting Chisholm or the right-handed hitting Anthony Volpe at second base against southpaw Payton Tolle. Chisholm said Monday he expected to be in the lineup Tuesday, but had not yet heard anything from Boone. Asked if he would be “angry” not to be in the lineup to face Tolle — against whom he…

Don’t fork around with these New Yorkers! Pushed-to-the-limit NYC restaurateurs are faced with another battle in the fight for their financial lives — a growing scourge of dine-and-dash incidents. From deluded influencers to old-school scofflaws, this latest affront is just one more headache for inflation-embattled businesses to handle — and seemingly on their own, too, in an era where law enforcement, plates heaped high with meatier crimes, tend to view the Class A misdemeanor as small potatoes.
