>>>> Mostly I decided to bring this back because the Australian Open started today/yesterday/I don't really understand how the international dateline works, but it was on TV when I woke up in the middle of the night. If you haven't seen or heard about the draw, well, one half is a little stacked. Here's what is important in this tournament:
- If Rafael Nadal wins, he ties Sampras with 14 career majors. Due to the draw and his streak of 24 consecutive matches won, the odds seem to be in Djokovic's favor. But you better believe if these two make the final I will be up at 3:30am that Sunday to watch it.
- That's really the only important thing.
- Serena will probably still be really good.
- Oh wait - I'm reeeeally hoping we see something like this:
>>>> STOP THE PRESSES. Whatever you're doing, it isn't worth it. Instead, you should be spending the next 5 hours staring at the NBA standings, since four whole Eastern Conference teams are currently above .500! Actually Toronto plays Milwaukee tonight, and Boston on Wednesday, so this may hold up for a while.
Wait. Who am I kidding? This is the Eastern Conference we're talking about! Relish it while you can.
>>>> In all seriousness, call me crazy, but Chicago (because no Luol Deng) and Detroit (because Josh Smith lol) are going to fall out of those standings. (When I told him this, co-Volume Shooter Paul Britton told me I was crazy.) Instead, the New York Suddenly-A-Real-Basketball-Team-After-Benching-JR-Smith Knicks will pull it together (much to Denver's chagrin, since they own the Knicks' first round pick), and the Charlotte (!!!!!!) Bobcats will also find a way in. I know...I really did just type those words, which virtually guarantees Charlotte will lose 10 of their next 11 games (though they'd probably still be within striking distance of the playoffs because the East is that bad).
