San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Clippers Sunday May 20, 2012 10:30 pm
We won with the Spurs on Saturday and we will go right back with them on Sunday. It was not a good day for the Staples Center home teams as the Clippers and Lakers blew a combined lead of 37 points and the former hurt the most as the Clippers are now down 3-0 in this series and you ... read more

Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers Sunday May 20, 2012 3:30 pm
We lost with the Heat in Game Three which was pretty much a must win spot for them and now this one turns into a definite one. A loss here and the series isn't over for Miami but it is pretty close so its needs to tie this one up before heading back home for Game Five. The Heat have ... read more

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Los Angeles Lakers Saturday May 19, 2012 10:30 pm
The Lakers were able to climb back into the series last night with a win over Oklahoma City to pull to within a game. It will be short-lived though as these teams play again Saturday in the second of a back-to-back playoff set at Staples Center. It was obviously a must win for Los ... read more

Texas Rangers @ Houston Astros Saturday May 19, 2012 7:15 pm
The Rangers took the opener of this series last night to improve to 25-15 overall including 14-6 on the road. Those 14 road wins are tied with Baltimore for the most in the American League and they have built a five-game lead in the American League West. Derek Holland gets the call ... read more

San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Clippers Saturday May 19, 2012 3:30 pm
This is a big weekend for the Clippers which would love nothing more than to sweep the two games played in Los Angeles to even up this series but it simply will not happen. They likely will not even win one of the games as they are clearly overmatched against one of the most efficient ... read more

Boston Celtics @ Philadelphia 76ers Friday May 18, 2012 8:05 pm
We played on the Sixers Wednesday and they certainly came up small as Boston was able to grab back the home court edge after a home split in the first two games. This makes Philadelphia in a prime situation on Friday in a chance to even up this series at home. The Sixers were embarrassed ... read more

Baltimore Orioles @ Washington Nationals Friday May 18, 2012 7:05 pm
Jake Arrieta has been either really good or really bad this year and I expect to see the latter tonight. He is coming off consecutive horrible starts at home against the Rangers and Rays to push his ERA to 5.21 on the season and while he has been better on the road, this is not the ... read more

Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers Thursday May 17, 2012 7:05 pm
Miami let one get away in Game Two as the Heat lost at home to the Pacers and thus, lost home court advantage in this series. They need to get it back and it needs to be done here in the first game in Indiana because being down 2-1 with the possibility of being down 3-1 is not the ... read more

Los Angeles Lakers @ Oklahoma City Thunder Wednesday May 16, 2012 9:35 pm
The Lakers were clearly outmatched in Game One against Oklahoma City as their grueling seven-game series against Denver took its toll. Even though there is just one day in-between games here as well, at least Los Angeles doesn't have to travel as it did prior to this series opener. ... read more

Pittsburgh Pirates @ Washington Nationals Wednesday May 16, 2012 7:05 pm
Washington was riding a 4-1 run heading into Tuesday and with Stephen Strasburg on the hill, there was a good chance that was going to be extended. However, he did not pitch well thanks to some equipment issues (we won't delve further), and the Nationals ended up with a split with ... read more

Boston Red Sox @ Tampa Bay Rays Wednesday May 16, 2012 7:00 pm
Boston has started to catch fire as it has won five straight games but keeping that momentum going will be tough. The winning streak has come against Cleveland and Seattle so it is not overly impressive not it travels to the division leader that is on a mini-run of its own. The Red ... read more

This line is high and in fact, it is the highest pointspread we have seen in this series however I don't think it is going to be enough for the hurting Clippers to stay around. The Grizzlies are on the verge of doing a rare feat in coming back from a 3-1 series deficit as only eight ... read more
