Lakers look to keep homecourt advantage
NBA - Kobe Bryant walked a bit gingerly as he emerged from the training area at Lakers headquarters to speak with reporters Tuesday, remaining on his feet since sitting is not a preferred option because of his sore lower back. “Quite a bit (of pain), but it’s a lot better than it was yesterday,” Bryant said with a smile—his mood clearly positive. “It’ll be fine.” Bryant tweaked his back in the opening minutes of Sunday’s 123-115 overtime loss at Utah that tied the Western Conference semifinals 2-2.

Boston Celtics Will Not Win NBA Title
NBA - I admit it; I picked the Boston Celtics to win the NBA Championship before the playoffs began. Consider me one of those Democrats whose like a super-delegate, I have the right to throw my support towards whoever I want.

Colorado Under-performing, watch the Total
MLB - After having made it all the way to the World Series, it is easy to forget certain truths about the Colorado Rockies from a season ago. Before Colorado defeated San Diego, in one game playoff to make the postseason, they had won 13 of 14 games, including 11 in a row just to get to that position. This means the morning of Sept. 16, 2007, the Rockies were real ordinary club at 77-74, showing no signs of what was about to occur.
