1) #ClipperMess - What do you do if you're a Clippers fan? All three of them must be feeling like they got kicked in the gut. They've managed to be the worst franchise in sports for 30 years and when they finally get good, their idiot owner spouts off some of the most racist bigotry one could imagine to his girlfriend who most likely gets paid to hang out with him. I have to admit, I like the Clippers. I was cheering for them. How could you not/. They've been awful forever. It's nice to see them in a position to make a run. Even though it's not the players who did anything wrong, why would I want an organization that is owned by a man like that to win a championship? Wow. In case you missed it (I'm sure you haven't), David Sterling has been fined 2.5 million dollars and rightfully received a lifetime ban from the NBA. He will have to sell the Clippers. That's not a light penalty but unfortunately it's just a drop in the bucket for this guy.
2) #PacerDisaster - Hey, if we win home court advantage we won't have any problem beating the Heat in the 2014 playoffs. May be, but what about the Hawks. It appears for the 6th time in NBA history, an 8 seed is on the verge of upsetting a #1 seed. The Pacers limped into the playoffs. The Hawks got healthy. The Pacers lost 8 home games all year. The Hawks have beat them 2 out of 3 in Indy in the playoffs. Larry Bird watching the game appears to have severe indigestion. Lord McFather feels bad for the Birdman but quotes Red Auerbach, "I won't make a trade for talent at the expense of team chemistry." Bird might have screwed himself with that midseason trade because it's been downhill since then.
3) #BravoPitching - Don't look now but the Atlanta Braves have the 2nd best record in MLB. Ahead of the Nationals, who were picked by most to win the division, by 4 games. It's still early, so I'm not saying that's a big deal. What I am saying is a big deal is the Braves starting pitching. Their starter's ERA is 3/4 of a run better than the next team. That's with the young guns, Julio Tehran and Alex Wood, who will soon be household names outside of Georgia. It's also without their innings and strikeouts leader from last year, Mike Minor who was replaced in the starting rotation by journeyman, Aaron Harangue, who has been dealing. It's also with David Hale and late preseason acquisition, Ervin Santana. This kind of pitching can't last all season, can it? By the way, Minor is supposed to return this week. Who goes to the bullpen?
