Western Conference Finals Preview
The Western Conference Finals begins tonight as the red-hot Denver Nuggest travel west to take on the somewhat uneasy Lakers.

Here’s a breakdown of what we have to look forward to in this series and a couple matchups that are key to determining the winner. Read more
NBA Playoffs Never Better
The NBA Playoffs this year have been quite astonishing on many levels. Long overtime games, clutch shooting, and flagrant fouls are just some of the notes. I can’t remember a time in sports where so much action took place in one sport over a relatively short period of time. Let’s examine some of the post-season drama. Read more
To suspend or not to suspend?
Referees are constantly critiqued in every sport, especially over the last couple seasons; it hasn’t been a particularaly good time to be an official. Calls are becoming more and more subjective, and it’s difficult to stay consistent from one game to the next. With the recent events stemming from the Wednesday night NBA playoff games, officiating as a whole has gotten a little bit of a boost. Read more

Dan says:
- I kind of feel bad for the Jazz. They would be the second best team in the West if it wasn’t for injuries. Instead they are probably going to be swept by the eventual champions in the first round. Oh well…better luck next year.
Scott says:
- The Pistons just struggle to score, defend, and try.
The WrapUp
I think it’s funny when golfers complain about a course. In Sergio’s case, it’s extra funny. After his round on Sunday he complained about certain conditions at Augusta. One of the issues was that he was getting mud on his ball when in the fairway. So what is the solution, Sergio? Stop playing golf on grass? I like Sergio but what a dumb comment to make when you’re one of the best players in the world about arguably the most heralded golf tournament and course in the world. I don’t think the groundskeepers can do much more than they did this weekend; the course looked great and scores were pretty low. At any rate, Sergio apologized today via his management company. At least he acknowledged he was a bonehead. It’s nobody’s fault but his own that he played poorly. Better luck next year.
