Spurs in six Clippers in seven Heat in five Wizards in seven
"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." --- Bart Giamatti, on baseball
The players officially approved the CBA, the owners are expected to it on Friday. There's a lot to do in about two weeks. That plus teams playing three nights in a row there's going to be some ugly basketball.
