There is always something special about this time of year. The NBA playoffs are in full swing, the Kentucky Derby is right around the corner, and now to add the sanguine nature of early May in the world of sports, we have college QB's getting booted for not-so-sportsman-like conduct.
The Pistons came out and put the '6ers away last night with an impressive win. I must admit that I had my doubts about their legitimance when it came to having a shot at this series. The last two games they played against Philly in the regular season weren't exactly their shining moments, and they went down a game early. But luckily for them, they're a resilient bunch. They came and proved that they are still some of the best frontmen in the Eastern Conference. But then again....the 76ers will always be the 76ers.
And like I predicted, the Suns got embarrased out of the playoffs by the Spurs with their impish lack of defense on the pick n'roll. While it was amusing to watch Shaq lope around the court and weedle around like he didn't know what he was doing, it was still sad to watch veterans like Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire get bounced out like a stray ball. I don't think Shaq is nearly what he was cracked up to be.
I was rather disappointed to hear that Ryan Perrilloux got booted from the team roster due to the failure of some drug tests. Even if this wasn't his first offense, it is always a sad day when a young guy with some talent and promise decides to take that chance. The fact of the matter is, it will always come back to bite you in the butt.
I had an afternoon of enjoyment while watching the Kentucky Oaks, ladies day at Churchill Downs, and the prelude to the greatest two minutes in racing. I won myself a nice exacta on the Oaks with Proud Spell and Little Belle, and I'm feeling lucky! So here we go....I'm picking Big Brown for the winner of the Roses. And maybe a little bit of Eight Belles for a nice exacta. Whaddya think?
