Yeah GL, the next 2 games are at home for the Warriors so they've got a 'golden' opportunity. At this stage anything could happen in the West. Memphis are in with a show over OKC. Miami put their foot down today and they're looking ominous. Next 2 are in Chicago though and you'd reckon that the Bulls could win 1 of the 2. Interesting that all 4 series have been split so far. Here's some highlights from today's Warriors/Spurs game. Klay Thompson lights it up.
-
Grizzlies get one back and the Knicks get on the board - Carmelo went on a terrific points scoring run. Both series are tied at 1-1 and it will be interesting to see how Memphis and Indiana go in their 2 home games coming up. Reggie Miller and Spike Lee had a reunion of sorts today ...

Yeah, it was a well put together doco, Demon16. Those '30 for 30' ESPN doco's are well worth seeking out. Should be a terrific series vs the Knicks. I reckon your blokes can do it. The Pacers are strong at points allowed and rebounds so we can look for some tight games. ... Scout's take: Knicks vs. Pacers (from a Knicks point of view, only one I could find) Anyway ... the Bulls get through after defeating the Nets in Brooklyn today ... highlights Wonder if Derrick Rose will do a 'David Lee' and make a brief appearance for inspiration. Might seem a bit contrived so I doubt it. The 8 teams are set for the Conference semi-finals now. Miami might be a little rusty but if they come out and win game 1 then we could close the door on that series.

Caught up with this ESPN '30 for 30' doco called 'Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs The New York Knicks' Definitely worth a look or at least to bookmark for a later time. With the Knicks through to the 2nd round of the playoffs and drawn to play against Indiana, the doco is quite apt and is a great trip down memory lane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QLiu10jSto

3 of the Conference Semi-finals are now set. Spurs/Warriors, OKC/Memphis, Knicks/Pacers are all interesting match-ups whilst you'd reckon Miami will take care of the Nets or the Bulls. They would probably have more trouble with the Nets. I reckon anything could happen with the other 3 match-ups. OKC without Westbrook will find Memphis a handful. ... Clippers @ Memphis game 6 highlights

Watched a bit of the match and Andrew was very good - big game. Even David Lee played a couple of minutes and Curry had another good match. They're up against the Spurs next. Should be a good series. Highlights of game 6. The Nets/Bulls series goes to a 7th game after Brooklyn won today. Back to Brooklyn for the decider on Sunday (our time) Knicks @ Boston for game 6 tomorrow (9am ESPN) Should be a cracker. New York were leading 3-0 and they'll need Carmelo to step it up you'd reckon.
-
Spurs and Heat have their feet up but we've got 6 series all with a score line of 3-2. Boston and Houston would have to come back from 3-0 deficits and I believe it's never been done before. Heard some stat that only 12 Teams have forced a game 6 after being 3-0 down. ... Boston @ Knicks highlights (today)

Ha! I still wouldn't rule out the Jets going forward. Geno seems quite a confident young bloke and I expect him to be the starting QB. You just never know with Rex although the Patriots will probably dominate the AFC East again. In the 2010/11 season the Jets went 11/5 whilst New England went 14/2 so you never know. I must say, I like watching the Jets games. Just for the theatre alone it's good value. There are a few teams that are good entertainment value. Eagles/Vick, 49ers/Kaepernick, Steelers/Big Ben, San Diego/Rivers, Saints/Brees, Giants/Eli and even Dallas with Romo are good to watch. It's a great League and I find it hard to hate any team. Only 3 months to the pre-season games Strafford

It was only a couple of years ago that the Jets went to their 2nd Conference Championship game in a row under Rex and with Sanchez. So they're capable but they seem to be in the news for the wrong reasons a fair bit. Tend to think Rex likes it that way and maybe the organisation does as well. Any publicity is good publicity?
-
Geno Smith in the news already. Not sure what the bonus dollars are when a player is selected in the first round or indeed if there's any extra dollars involved if a player is a high draft pick. Couldn't see KC picking him anyway with Alex Smith on board. Although you're never quite sure with these things. Surely Geno's not upset about being in a 5 way tussle for the QB spot at Jets? Surely not? ... Geno Smith fires agent after fall to New York Jets

Some good posts there JJ. Liam Finn is very good and Reminiscing is a fantastic song ... Here's a couple more from the 70's. First up Elton with a live version of 'Philadelphia Freedom' followed by Rickie Lee Jones with 'Chuck E.'s in Love' Macca 12.9

Maybe I should have started off with "Apart from the Bengals, any team can etc etc..............!" I didn't know that story Strafford, but it certainly explains a lot. There's probably a number of sporting franchises in the States with the same sort of issues with their owners. You do here stories here and there but the actual teams don't readily come to mind. Anyway, you probably mentioned it in an earlier post, but are you happy with your draft choices? Me .... I see a whole bunch of names who I know very little about! Obviously Green Bay have tried to strengthen the defense, offensive line and RB position but time will tell on whether these blokes are any good or not. I have much the same attitude with the AFL draft. There's a lot of flaws in the whole process so I don't trust it that much. Unless it's a draft where Luck and RG3 are involved although Russell Wilson went at overall pick 75! Imagine how some of the teams without a decent QB must be feeling re Wilson.
-
There's always a team or 3 that fall by the wayside and other teams suddenly have winning seasons. Reckon pantaloons Chiefs might do ok and I always think the Chargers with Rivers have a show. That AFC West could be a division to watch. Tannehill might get Miami firing and surely the Eagles will bounce back. And what about the Jets? They might do a rotating QB thing - during the games! Sanchez starts, Garrard takes the 2nd quarter, Geno kicks off the 2nd half and Tebow* McElroy brings home the bacon. Rex becomes the King of New York again (with multiple QB tattoo's) Edit : Just heard *Tebow has been cut by the Jets so Rex could bring on McElroy in the 4th quarter.

It's interesting isn't. My level of interest in the AFL has dropped dramatically. Even though the games seem to be better to watch. It's a combination of disillusionment, envy, jealousy, apathy, frustration and anger. My mates have been on the end of some of the greatest feats of text venting known to man. Mostly laced with sick humour. This somehow makes me feel better (but only fleetingly until the next match comes along) Can we all jump into an NFL time machine and arrive in Sept 2013? Make this terrible Demon season all go away please You know what? In the NFL these things can actually happen. Any team can come from nowhere and make a run at it. That's one of the great things about the sport. Optimism can and does get rewarded.
-
Yeah, if we become reasonably strong at the RB position, then we're not too shabby on offense Who needs a great defense? (I'm being flippant)

A 'Smoky' for the 1st Test? Rising from the Ashes

Golden State win to take a 2-1 advantage over Denver ... highlights Knicks, Spurs and Miami all have 3-0 leads whilst the Pacers and OKC have 2-0 leads. OKC losing Westbrook is a huge blow. He may be a chance to return later in the playoffs if the Thunder get through the 1st and 2nd rounds of the playoffs.
-
Yeah BBO, before Gary Ablett snr, the game had Jesaulenko - he was a freak. We had Robbie for our own touch of magic. How's the one hander 'backing back' by Wells? Very good footballer who I never saw play a bad game. Jones is a good comparison but with no disrespect to Nathan, Wells was a real topliner. Jones might get there though, he gets better every year. I stumbled across that clip by accident and was surprised by the pace of the game. Fair bit of handballing and short passing as well. Suppose it was the best of the best playing so it shouldn't be a real surprise.

On hearing about Aaron Rodgers record $110 million contract, one of his teammates 'tweeted' afterwards ... "Hey man, can you pay me that 20 bucks you owe me?"
