- The Spurs eviscerated the Heat on Friday night... the final was 125-95 and I'm not even sure that did it justice... Tony Parker returned ahead of schedule from his injury and chipped in 15 points and 8 dimes to key 8 different guys in double figures for San Antonio... 56% from the field and an absurd 61% from three for the Spurs, and while they should be credited for their incredibly efficient offense (all year, really), Miami's defense didn't show up on Friday... There will be panic for Miami, but just take a breath... back-to-back game, on the road, etc....
- The NFL players and owners came to an agreement!... Oh... it was only to extend talks for a week... well, that's better than nothing, huh?...
- Apparently, Jets linebacker Bart Scott had trademarked the phrase "can't wait".... if this story is true, it's absolutely brilliant... winning...
- NBA Check - Brook Lopez and the Nets get a win in London... 25 for Lopez and the Nets win the battle of inept in Europe... Chicago gets a big road win... 89-81 over Orlando behind D. Rose's 24 points overshadowing Dwight's typical 20/10... Kevin Durant was announced as doubtful for the game in Philips Arena on Friday... so of course, he played, and had 29 and 8 to lead OKC to a 111-104 win... Russ Westbrook hit a giant 3 down the stretch and had 28 as well... Atlanta got nothing from the non-Horford frontline... Break up... the Cavs!?... Cleveland again beat NY in NY despite 70 total points from Amare and Carmelo... JJ Hickson led the way with 23/8, but there's something about that matchup for the Knicks... Nice to see you, Chris Paul... 23 points and 14 dimes in a road win at Memphis... Dirk Nowitzki led the way for Dallas with 29 in their 8th straight win... and we'll end with 2 ridiculous lines in the Minnesota/Philly game... Kevin Love with 21 and 23 in the loss... it never gets old... and Andre Iguodala threw up a 22/10/13 in the win for Philly, who is playing very good basketball...
What to watch for on Saturday...
- #4 Duke @ #13 North Carolina - 8:00 CBS - Well, other than being the best rivalry in college hoops, this one is for the ACC regular season crown as well... honestly, about as must-watch as it gets for regular season college hoops...
- #2 Kansas @ #24 Missouri - Noon CBS - This will be a barnburner... Missouri is just a different team at home, and they are very capable of knocking off the Jayhawks...
- #19 Villanova @ #5 Pittsburgh - 4:00 CBS - Typically awesome Big East matchup... 'Nova has been reeling lately, so you can't really expect them to win on the road here, but crazier things have happened...
- #7 Notre Dame @ #16 UConn - 2:00 ESPN - Jeez, what a slate... anyway... Notre Dame really has it going right now and UConn is kind of struggling, but the athletic edge is staggering toward UConn...
- #14 Florida @ #20 Vandy - 6:00 ESPN - Nothing overly special, but definitely seeding ramifications at stake in this SEC East battle..
- Michigan State @ Michigan - 2:00 CBS - Even if I'm the only one that cares, this one is enormous for Michigan's bubble hopes... and looking for the sweep...
- Raptors @ Nets - 3:00 NBA-TV - If you're not ready for college hoops yet, there's a rematch in London... yeah...
Enjoy it...
