Memphis Grizzlies – The Best Big Man Duo in the NBA

Home games bring out the best in most NBA teams, and the Memphis Grizzlies are no different, especially when it comes to their big man duo, Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, who have turned the series around by regaining dominance in the paint on both ends the floor, making it an even series once again, hoping that they take this kind of intensity and defensive success back to the road.

Atlanta Hawks – Al Horford Being a Monster for Once

The Atlanta Hawks needed to answer with physicality after being bullied and beaten through the first couple of games in the series. Maybe it’s a little bit too late, but at least they showed it’s possibly with Al Horford at his best and Josh Smith attacking the basket often and early to get themselves their first win in the 2013 NBA postseason.

Chicago Bulls – Surviving the Best NBA Game of the Season

No one thought the Chicago Bulls can play this kind of offense, but with Nate Robinson doing his best Michael Jordan impersonation, double digit fourth quarter comebacks aren’t that much of an obscene word, and neither is advancing in the postseason to the conference semifinals, now only one win away thanks to some impressive heroics and shooting in a triple overtime game.

NFL Rumors – New York Giants Might Bring Back Ahmad Bradshaw

Too many injury problems and too high of a salary seemed to be the reason Ahmad Bradshaw was released from the New York Giants in the first place, but after being passed over by other teams for more youthful selections in the NFL draft, there’s a rising suspicion that the often-injured running back will return to the only team he’s ever played for.

NFL Rumors – Dallas Cowboys Want Tony Romo to be Like Peyton Manning

A huge contract means similar expectations, and after three seasons without a postseason game, the pressure couldn’t be higher on Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys, who expect their franchise quarterback to take an example from Peyton Manning and start being a lot more involved in the offensive game, including when he’s off the field.

Chelsea FC – Manager Stability Needed

The only thing separating Manchester United and Chelsea during the Roman Abramovich era is the man on the bench. While Manchester United have had the same manager at the same seat during those 10 seasons, Chelsea have been through nine of them, and Rafa Benitez, the most recent one, isn’t going to stay once this season is over.

Premier League – Arsenal vs Manchester United Predictions

Under different circumstances, this would have made an excellent ‘match of the season’, but the truth is Arsenal are only fighting to win a Champions League ticket, while Manchester United have already been crowned champions, and besides a Premier League points record that might not matter to them too much, there’s nothing left to play for.

Real Madrid – Angel Di Maria Makes Sure Everything is Normal

No one at Real Madird thinks there’s a chance of winning the league title, but it doesn’t mean the season is over. Making certain second place is tied up is all that’s left, not to mention city and team pride being at stake. Not a great match, but another fine tactical display from Jose Mourinho with a tattered bunch while Angel Di Maria provided the creative spark to finish the job.
