Watto made 135 the other day in a warm up game. And he's bowling again!! Does that count

Miami just don't appear to be that good, compared to last year. Certainly not as good as I thought they would be. San Antonio would match up ok against the Pacers, but would they be that worried about facing the Heat? Miami have been really good at times and then they struggle. Maybe in game 7 they will bring their A game? I reckon we've got a good final coming up, regardless of who the Spurs meet. The rest up would have to help the veterans from San Antonio but against that, they don't want to come out rusty in game 1. I still think the Heat will get through. They get the Birdman back for Tuesday's game (our time) and it would be a huge story if they missed. I'm tipping a close finish.

The Pacers force a game 7. Regardless of whether the Heat win the final game in Miami or not, the Spurs must be feeling reasonably confident of beating either team in the finals. Miami only scoring 77 points must be a concern. They'll possibly step it up and win game 7 but too much is being left to LeBron. ... Today's highlights ... Hibbert and George had very good games.

... Channel Nine's board has granted its senior managers clearance to go ahead and clinch the rich cricket broadcasting rights for the next five years.

... Birdman suspended for game 6

Apparently this is what they might be talking about. Not sure I'd 'pet' it. Gruesome little creature ... Tell you what though, if the CFL was on cable, I'd probably be watching :-) Central American Tiger-Cat

Only 11 days to go!

Spurs/Pacers final would be interesting. If the Heat are at their best they'll get through, but Indiana winning game 2 in Miami will give them a lot of confidence. I reckon the Pacers have to win game 5 to have a real chance. On ESPN from 10.30am tomorrow. Work gets in the way again - not happy about that

And those Pacers do level things up in a spirited display today. It means the series will continue to at least Sunday (our time) Indiana are proving tough opposition ... game 4 highlights

... Ricky Ponting won't rule out Ashes series recall

Spurs through after sweeping the Grizzlies ... highlights ... Parker had another big game. June 6 is the 1st game of the finals so they've got a bit of a wait. Game 4 of the Miami/Indiana series tomorrow. Heat leading 2-1.

Win or bust for Memphis tomorrow. Would like to see them win at least one game for their fans. Miami way too strong for the Pacers today ... highlights

French open starts Sunday evening (our time) Andy Murray is out with a back injury whilst Sam Stosur is seeded 9. Sam is in Maria Sharapova's quarter of the draw, so they are drawn to meet in the quarter finals. In the Ladies, the top seed is drawn to meet the 4th seed in the Semi-finals whilst the 2nd seed is drawn to play the 3rd seed. In the Mens, the top seed is drawn to play the 3rd seed in the Semi-finals and the 2nd seed is drawn to play the 4th seed. This means we could get a Nadal/Federer final (in theory) What it also means is that Novak and Rafa must meet in a Semi-final if they both progress that far. For further news on this story and more ... ... Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic in same half of French Open draw Mens seeds ...

Knicks at the Pacers game 6 - ESPN 10am tomorrow. ... Preview with video

Memphis play the Spurs in game 1 of the Western Conference final on Monday morning at 5am (ESPN) Fairly sure that ESPN are covering all the Conference final games. Hope so anyway. Miami await the winner of the Knicks/Pacers series. Game 5 highlights

Yeah, I reckon the idea has merit. Helps give another form of the game it's own 'season'. It's an ideal way to start the summer of cricket. I'm not a big fan of the 50 over format but that October window could give it a good kick along. So we'd have the domestic one day series followed by 3 Shield games in preparation for the Tests in Nov/Dec. Then we'd get the Big Bash right through the Holiday period along with the ODI's. Finishing off with the Shield season. Little bit more streamlined. England all out for 232 in the 1st Test against New Zealand. We need those Kiwi's to knock their confidence around a bit hey? New Zealand 1 for 5 in reply ... lost a wicket as I was writing this post - typical! Edit: We play England in 5 x ODI's from mid to late January (2014) Possibly followed by 2 or 3 T20 Internationals.

After today's results, is it too early to predict the likely Conference finalists? Miami vs Indiana and San Antonio vs Memphis? (although the Warriors could win the last 2 games in that series against the Spurs) Anyway .... here's the highlights from that Spurs/Golden State game 5.

Here are the images ... looks cool and all very 21st Century! ... Vikings new stadium

I was surprised at the size of the crowds at the CFL games. It's more popular than expected. Hopefully by mid June our footy team will start playing a lot better, otherwise, it's the Canadian Football League for our sporting joy. C'mon the Saskatchewan Roughriders!!!

Golden State even the series with a win over the Spurs in O/T ... Full highlights (game 5 is on ESPN on Wednesday - our time) Games tomorrow ... Heat @ Bulls and OKC @ Memphis. For Chicago it's a must win and maybe it's the same for the Thunder.

Early August. It's just as well I'm into the Hockey and the NBA. Definitely need lots of distractions from the footy club. Or for us American Football fans there's always this alternative (wonder if Tim Tebow will make an appearance!)
