5/20: Spurs, Jon Lester, etc.

  • Well there went the Hornets.....San Antonio was its usual methodical self in disposing of the Hornets in a do-or-die (on the road no less) to the surprise of....I'd hope no one...the Spurs do this for a living and it shouldn't surprise you....I thought Chris Paul was masterful despite facing constant 3-defender programs and Tyson Chandler played very well but they were overpowered elsewhere (sidebar...Jannero Pargo was JACKING last night like Eddie House style)....especially with an inability to curtail Manu Ginobili at any point last night...The Spurs move on...and they could beat the Lakers....the lesson as always....do not count out the Spurs....
  • Jon Lester threw a no-no last night...oh, you've heard? Yea, it led every single sporting show for a solid 1o hours last night and this morning so it's pretty big news....I applaud him for the effort, not alot else needs to be said...
  • MLB: Jake Peavy goes to the DL...bad news for an already-struggling SD (and his fantasy owners).....A-Rod scheduled to return tonight to help the Yanks.....I'm as excited as I get about pre-summer baseball today because the Mets and Braves play 2 at Turner....yes, I hate the Mets....so this will be fun....Go Bravos
  • Draft Lottery Tonight! As an NBA head, this is a monumentous occasion for the league as usual with Rose/Beasley/etc. out there to be had...but I still don't love the lottery system....that said, I'll be watching
  • Anybody catch Charles Barkley on Inside the NBA last night? That was some interesting TV....He actually flip-flopped a couple times moderately...but came off pretty real

All for now....
