How hard is it to lay carpet? Never done it before and trying to do it in a room we recently finished in our basement

I remember in my half-sleep state rolling over and seeing the Clips up big going into the 4th and Breen saying they're just 12 minutes away from advancing. Figured I'd wake up in the morning and see the Clips won. What in the world happened??

I say it often, but anytime LKB tells his old-man tales about wrestling, I make sure to immediatley click in here.

Really good article by Zach Lowe on the state of the Wiz and chasing Durant: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/the-wizards-playoff-kevin-durant/

Maybe until Durant and Westbrook leave

Grantland: Second Annual Pro Wrestling Draft Board

Agreed. This team is in rebuild mode, let some younger WRs, like Grant, get their chances. If the team wants Santana back, bring him on as a WR coach or something.

It really is impressive. Seems like every season is supposed to be the year the Spurs fall apart. Yet, they just keep on chugging along.

Tried to put back a Griffin miss, but it was still on the rim, so he was called for goal tending. Think there was only a few seconds left on the clock at this point and the Clips were down 1. Yes it would. Vince Carter would like a word with you.

I'm the same way. Decent beer, but doesn't live up to the hype for me. I'll drink it, but there's other beers I like more for a good summer beer.

He gone!

Had my first Dead Rise of the season. Think it tastes a little better than last year's batch.

Wonder if Phil Jackson is trying to get out of being Knicks Prez so he can coach OKC haha

Was saying the same thing. Definitely didn't expect the Wiz to be going home up 2-0.

Surprised with the Wiz, but can't say I'm shocked at how the rest of the games have turned out. I'd expect the home teams to win again tonight, except for maybe the Clippers. Think the Spurs even that series.

If these are the Clips new unis, then wow. They're awful.

Sounds like we could be in for some bad storms around the area today

Bought my wife some Samuel Smith Organic Chocolate Stout. Seriously one of the best chocolate stouts I've ever had. Little pricey for a 4-pack ($11.99), but well worth it.

The West is a total crapshoot. The only team I'd be surprised if they won the West would be the Pelicans and maybe the Mavs (just never know with Dirk).

Yeah I don't know why they don't just get rid of Wizards and find another name. Besides the name on their jersey, you'd have no idea this team has anything to do with Wizards anymore.

Best time of the year. Nothing better than a nice breeze going through the house.

Wouldn't that then lead to tanking by the teams that are right around the bottom 8? Why wouldn't the team currently in 9th try to keep losing so they could become a bottom 8 team and then try to win the tournament for a better pick?

The 9 champions looks bad, but I think only have 18 (17 if you counts the Sonics/Thunder as one team) different teams make the Finals over that period. Compared to 27/30 for MLB and 25/32 for the NFL. So over the last 35 years, 12 NBA teams haven't even made the Finals. Sure teams like the Raptors, Grizzlies and Pelicans haven't been around long, but neither have the Rockies, Marlins, Diamondbacks and Rays, but those 4 have all made the WS and the Dbacks and Marlins have won it. The NBA has a really top heavy league. It seems like it has always been that way tough. I mean the Lakers and Celtics have a combined 33 of the 68 NBA titles and have a combined 52 Finals appearences.

I'd agree. With the season just about over, no one has played more than 16 games against their division opponents. 16 out of a possible 75 games for the Nuggest or 21% of their games have come against teams in their division. Compare that to 37.5% for the NFL, 47% for MLB, 35% for NHL.
