Jesus Christ. So hard to explain the extent of just how big a shock that is. I'd imagine a fraction of a percent of brackets picked them.

I picked them in one 😀 I did the first 2 rounds based on relative proximity to Ireland 😀 buffalo beating Arizona as well 😀

With Jets trading up to #3, Browns can take their QB of choice & Barkley if they want

I'm sure they'll be open to shopping #4 if someone is in love with Mayfield or some random DE too if they're not all in on the Barkley hype train. But him and Hyde would be some safety blanket for the rookie QB as both can catch short range passes pretty well.

Yeah Barkleys receiving ability makes him a great match up, lining up as a receiver, out of the backfield etc.

Duke-Kansas tonight is the big one.

Curry got injured by JaVale McGee the other night in his first game back after a couple of weeks out having rolled his ankle. MCL sprain in his knee this time and is in sight for the start of the playoffs. KD, Thompson and Green all also out injured at the minute.

Curry's injury was so unlucky. Hopefully will be back for the playoffs. 2nd place tied up and 1st basically out of reach so no need to rush anyone back. On paper 2nd might be better as it would probably mean playing Portland over OKC.

On injury's Green should be back tonight, KD week and Klay next wkd. The rest they've got the last week or two will hopefully stand them in good stead for the playoff run. If they get there, Houston will be a massive series and all the allstars will have to be on it especially Curry.

Only been paying a passing interest in the NBA this year, I take it nobody in the East will be fit for presumably GSW/Houston in the Finals ?

Cav's are prob the biggest threat just cause of LeBron. They've been pretty awful this year though. Boston were the early pace setters but have cooled lately and last i heard Kyrie was having minor surgery. Raptors are top seeds but just don't see them doing any major damage in the play offs.

No kidding - Stanton could hit 80 homers this year  :o :o :o :o



This was pretty cool last night - Blackhawks lost both of their goalies to injury just before and during the game - in steps 36-year-old accountant and emergency backup goaltender Scott Foster to make 7 saves en route to a Blackhawks win - having been sitting at his work desk a few hours before
