The NFL Draft has come and gone, which can only mean one thing: It's time to give out grades! Of course, with the NFL --...

Memphis continued to shock the world when it upset heavily favored Oklahoma City in Game 1 Sunday, leading many of us "experts" to think the Grizzlies will pull another shocker and win the series.

I, however, refuse to succumb to such insanity.

Three people I spoke with this weekend tried to convince me that the Lakers were a great match-up for Dallas. And three times I scoffed at such a ridiculous notion. In this playoff preview, I explain why.

(2) LAL vs. (4) Dallas

There’s no question LA is in a funk....

If the first round of the NBA Playoffs was any indication, the second round should be pretty special. TNT’s numbers were astounding: Games averaged a staggering 4.17 million viewers, and the round as a whole was the most viewed first round in NBA playoff history. In the second round, there...

Boston-Miami: this is the second round match-up we all wanted. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said it "wouldn't be right if we didn't play them." LeBron echoed his coach, saying, "We have to play Boston to get where we want to get. It's here now."

Be careful what you wish for.

Greg McElroy was a two-year starting quarterback for Alabama. In 2010, the 6-foot-2, 222-pound McElroy led the Tide to the BCS National Championship and a perfect 14-0 record. As a senior last season, he threw for nearly 3,000 yards with 20 TDs and just five interceptions, while completing 71 percent...

With the new collective bargaining agreement yet to be reached and the 2011 NFL season in jeopardy, NFL players -- for the first time in their lives -- aren’t playing football. For many, it is a strange time full of angst and question marks. And for young players especially, having...

Mike D’Antoni has to go.

There, I said it.

The truth is D’Antoni is a nice guy who belongs as an assistant coach solely dedicated to designing fast break style and scheme. But, in a league where you simply cannot win without consistent defense, D’Antoni’s time as a head coach...

During the playoffs last season, I said that Oklahoma City was another year away. They had the firepower and certainly the guile, as we saw when they took the champion Lakers to six games in the first round, but they hadn’t been to the playoffs before. Inexperience is the same...

We saw a different Lakers team in Game 2. It is almost as though LA had to keep things interesting by squandering a game so they could revitalize themselves by playing with their backs against the wall. New Orleans was 28-13 at home this season, so going down 2-0 and...

The MLB season is off and running, and so are the Rockies. Behind a lethal combination of pitching and hitting, Colorado is 12-5 and sits atop the NL West. In the AL West, the Rangers have picked up where they left off last season, and could also make the case...

It's easy to understand why the Bulls (62-20) are the favorite to come out of the Eastern Conference and compete for a title. The Bulls feature one of the league's most dynamic talents in Derrick Rose and have a defensive guru on the bench in head coach Tom Thibodeau. Add...

Is it fair to say the Spurs are the most vulnerable No.1 seed in recent playoff memory? For all the early talk about them winning 70 games and steamrolling their way to a title, this is now a team full of question marks and doubters. The Lakers have fallen on...

The NBA Eastern Conference is a four-team race. Chicago, Miami, Boston and Orlando are all capable of advancing, and all four can win a title. The Bulls have been by far the most consistent force all year. Miami has been Jekyll and Hyde, and both the Celtics and Magic have...

When Stanford’s superstar quarterback and clear-cut No.1 choice Andrew Luck announced he was returning to school, we should have known the trickle-down effect of insanity and...
