Last night’s Phoenix Suns/Dallas Mavericks matchup was another Western goodie and it looks like it’s going to follow form and be a nail-biter of a series.  I think the doctors in the respective series better get ready to treat a lot of fans who are close to having full on heart attacks.  In any case, you can read about the game here if you like.  Or simply scroll down with a click.

*Tonight, the Detroit Pistons look to show their mettle as they go up against the Miami Heat down one game to none in the Eastern Conference finals.  The Pistons showed the effects of just playing a long series to the Cleveland Cavaliers as their shots looked flat, which showed in their 38% shooting from the floor.  However, it’s only been one game and the Pistons have not only beaten the Heat in an Eastern Conference final before, but they are former World Champs.  Look for another close game.  My prediction - Pistons by six.

There aren’t many games in MLB today with only several offerings.

*The New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies conclude their N.L. East division series.
*After losing the series to the New York Yankees, two games to one, the Boston Red Sox look to beat up on division foe, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, who are cellar dwelling at this point of the season.
*The Oakland Atheltics visit Arlington to face the Texas Rangers.  Currently, the Rangers lead the A.L. West by one game over the Athletics.  This four-game series will be telling in who will rule the West.

Yet ANOTHER close game was played last night in the Eastern Conference finals between the Buffalo Sabres and Carolina Hurricanes.  I have a feeling that NHL fans are just as happy as NBA fans regarding this year’s playoffs for each sport.  In any case, the Sabres beat the Hurricanes by a score of 4-3 and took the 2-1 lead in the series.

*Tonight we can all be saying good bye, Ducks, as Anaheim is up against the wall, down three games to zero in the Western Conference series.  The Edmonton Oilers can complete the sweep with a win at home and then just lounge waiting to see who wins the East.

Enjoy the games!
