4/11: Masters, Nuggets, etc.

• The Masters is underway! Tiger shot a respectable if not turbulent 72 yesterday....Eagle chip-in was fantastic but not alot of other highlights....Justin Rose (who has led 3 times after the first round and always faded) and Trevor Immelman lead at 4-under 68...Good times ahead
• Holy.....Have you seen Kobe jump over a car yet? Ridiculous....go to indiesports.blogspot.com for a direct link
• Nuggets win IN Golden State in a game I was pretty confident GS would handle....This is absolutely huge for Denver as they now have a 1 game lead PLUS the tiebreaker (essentially a 2 game lead) with 3 to play...Golden State has 2 relatively easy home games with LAC and Seattle but there's a trip looming to Phoenix that could likely derail their necessary 3-0 finish...Denver finishes @ Utah (a likely loss) then home for Houston and Memphis.....Pretty much if I was GS, you gotta win all 3 and home Denver loses to Utah and Houston...Good luck
• Bill Self officially staying....not shocked...at all
• Umm college hockey?....I only mention this here because my Michigan Wolverines were the #1 overall seed in the Frozen Four...and went down 5-4 in OT last night...booooo
• Clay Bennett (Sonics' Owner) is a snake and a weasel....that's all there is to that..
• Cleveland Indians sign Fausto Carmona...no big deal....if CC Sabathia hadn't been negotiating...yikes
• Braves got rained out last night...so no MLB content today..that put me off for the day...along with the Masters and the NBA games
• NBA Recap: Dirk with a big-time 32 points including a clutch bucket late to beat Utah at home....I have to mention that the Big soft Euro managed to collect TWO rebounds at nearly 7 feet tall in almost 35 minutes of play....good effort....The only other game on the slate was LAL pounding the Clippers in a hallway matchup at Staples...gotta love that pseudo-home game for the Clips every year
• The NHL Playoffs are going on....did you know that? I barely did...who ya got? I'll take Detroit...and I had to look it up to see if they were actually in the playoffs....go figure
