Fun on Friday

I know alot of people think the NBA Playoffs go on seemingly forever (and they do) but I enjoy the nightly playoff games on TNT and ESPN right now. My 7 year old told me today that "we'll start watching baseball games after basketball is over". I love that kid.

Not much in sports is more exciting than the sudden death nature of NHL game sevens.

Something I learned today: sometimes when there is a 10% chance of rain, it actually does rain.

Today, my three year old called me a "No person". I think I'll take that as a compliment.

Although not always easy, the right thing to do is always the right thing to do.

Fun on Friday- First Round of the NBA Playoffs

The NBA Playoffs tip-off tomorrow. Here are my picks for the winners of the first round matchups:

Eastern Conference-
Chicago over Indiana ; Miami over Philadelphia; Boston over New York; Orlando over Atlanta

Western Conference-
San Antonio over Memphis; Los Angeles over New Orleans; Dallas over Portland; Oklahoma City over Denver

I’m going with the higher seed in each pairing but I’m guessing the closest series will be Orlando/Atlanta; San Antonio/Memphis; and Dallas/Portland.
