Another 2-0 Night In the Playoffs! After sweeping Thursday, we win 'em both Friday with the Lakers over the Thunder and the Celtics / Sixers (Over)THE NBA PLAYOFFS REPORTCHECKING OUT THE SATURDAY SHOWDOWNS IN LA-LA LAND AS THE CLIPS (DOWN 2-0) AND THE LAKERS (NOW DOWN 2-1) LOOK TO PLAY CATCH-UP IN THEIR RESPECTIVE BEST-OF-SEVEN SERIES By Jim Hurley: Memo to the Oklahoma City Thunder ... you can't win 'em all! Maybe Okie City knows that all too well after watching the Los Angeles Lakers - and mainly Kobe Bryant (see game-high 36 points) - spend the better part of Friday night nailing free throw-after-free throw. The Lakers received more than a few favorable fourth-quarter whistles last night inside the Staples Center but how about the fact the purple-and-gold guys drained an incredible 41-of-42 foul shots en route to the 99-96 win in Game 3 that now gives this Western Conference best-of-seven series a whole new life ...

 GETTING A PROPER READ ON THE NL DURING INTERLEAGUE ACTIONWe take a one day hiatus from our wall-to-wall basketball Saturday because the schedule allows it...and because this weekend allows handicappers a great chance to truly evaluate the National League as it tries to regain equality with the American League after too many years of decline. The basketball schedule? There's no reason to run the numbers from Game Two of Spurs-Clippers because it was mostly just a replay of Game One. The Clippers were still banged up and tired. The Spurs are still fresh as a daisy and playing fantastic basketball. Either the Clippers get their act together Saturday afternoon or they don't. A stat preview is superfluous. The numbers from Game Three of Thunder-Lakers wouldn't be available by publication deadlines because that was such a late start. We have unique back-to-back situations ... Read More... |
Bodemeister Morning Line Preakness FavoriteBALTIMORE, 05-16-12 I'll Have Another was entered Wednesday to continue his Triple Crown quest in the $1 million Preakness Stakes (G1), but Reddam Racing's Kentucky Derby winner may not be favored to win Pimlico Race Course's signature race for 3-year-olds on Saturday. Maryland Jockey Club linemaker Frank Carulli installed Bodemeister, the runner-up to I'll Have Another in the Kentucky Derby (G1), as the 8-5 morning-line favorite for Preakness 137. I'll Have Another, who captured the Run for the Roses by 1 ½ lengths over the pacesetting Bodemeister, was rated second at 5-2 in the 11-horse field that will contest the Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown. Zayat Stables and Michel and Tiffany Moreno's Bodemeister, the beaten Derby favorite, is trained by Bob Baffert, who has saddled five winners of the Preakness Stakes: Silver Charm (1997), Real Quiet (1998), Point Given (2001), War Emblem (2002) and Lookin At Lucky (2010). Bodemeister will be ridden by Mike Smith, who captured the 1993 Preakness aboard Prairie Bayou. I'll Have Another, who has won all three of his races this year, is trainer Doug O'Neill's first Preakness entrant. The son of Flower Alley, who became the first horse to win the Derby ...
