Playoffs and More

Well, I've been away for a little while. And in my absence plenty has happened. So let's start with the NBA and move right along from there. 

The San Antonio Spurs swept the Memphis Grizzlies in 4 games to advance to the NBA Finals. They will take on the winner of the Miami Heat/Indiana Pacers matchup where the Heat lead 2-1. The Spurs last appeared in the Finals in 2007 where they went home Champions after taken out the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Heat & Pacers kick off game 4 tonight, and whoever is going to end up taking this series, needs to do so as fast as possible to not allow the Spurs to get any rest. Should this matchup go into Game 7, well then my money is on the Spurs. 

In the NHL, the Penguins and Bruins have advanced and will play each other in the Eastern Conference Finals. Meanwhile the Sharks and Blackhawks have forced Game 7's with the Kings and Red Wings respectively. Kings & Sharks will play tonight. Red Wings & Blackhawks will play tomorrow. 

Briefly, Congrats to Tony Kanaan for winning his first Indianapolis 500 race. It was quite a race, but a crappy way to end the race for the fans under a caution flag. 

And I'll cover this just because it intrigues me the most, the Crosstown Classic between the Cubs and White Sox kicked off last night where the Cubs crushed the Sox 7-0 under Jeff Samardzija's complete game 2 hit shutout. Cubs are now 20-30, White Sox are 24-25. 

Notre Dame Qb Everett Gholson is no longer enrolled at Notre Dame for his failing grades. The Qb hopes to be able to return to Notre Dame in December. 

The NFL Season kicks off in 100 days, and I for one am ready for Fantasy Football! Like I said last time, once the Fantasy season begins to kick off, I'll be giving my rankings on each position to better help you with managing your team.
