Dallas Mavericks Get No. 1 Pick Despite 1.8% Odds: The Dallas Mavericks, who previously had never moved up in an NBA Draft Lottery, won the first overall pick Monday night. They had 1.8% odds in the eleventh position going in. Christmas came eary to conspiracy-minded fans who believed the Mavs would get the top pick after making the insane trade of Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Gregg Popovich Hangs Up His Spurs: After 29 years, 1,422 regular season wins and five NBA championships, Gregg Popovich will no longer coach the San Antonio Spurs. He'll move over to being the president of basketball operations. At 76 he was the oldest coach in league history. Mitch Johnson, who already was the interim coach since November, takes over.

Top rebounder: Nikola Jokic

Ha! I knew that in one place and forget it in the other. All that work to spell Antentokounmpo correctly wasted.

My picks:
Celtics in 6
Thunder in 6
Cavaliers in 7
Timberwolves in 6
Top point scorer: Jayson Tatum
Top rebounder: Giannis Antentokounmpo
Most points per game: Thunder
Least opponent points per game: Celtics
I'm picking Cleveland but rooting for Indiana. The stats Giannis put up in round one are otherworldly. Sad we won't be getting more of that this postseason.

I've extended entry times for each series to midnight instead of game time so that players have a chance to enter late if they haven't seen any scores yet. I'm thinking about taking entry deadlines out and letting the honor system be our guide.
Nobody had the Warriors or Wolves making it to this round. Don't see a 6 vs. 7 matchup too often.

I let it get too close to tipoff so the posts will come up today with an entry deadline of game 2 for that series.

I don't see how there's a win for Nico in the Lakers' defeat. There would be if the Mavericks went deep into the playoffs this season, but that stopped being a possibility when Kyrie blew up his knee while being played for more minutes than anybody else in the league.
He should be fired already. I've never seen a fan reaction as enraged and sustained as Mavs fans. He literally hides in the tunnel at home games.

Eight of the 16 teams in the first round of the NHL playoffs have hit the score-6-goals prop. Goaltenders are going to need to play Tetris after some of these games.

This is an even bigger climb than AFC Wimbledon managed. As a Sheffield Wednesday I'm really looking forward to this until they beat us.

I'm shocked he's gone undrafted this long. My best guess for the reason is that teams needing a rookie quarterback have coaches insecure about their jobs. Drafting Sanders risks having Deion as the frontrunner to be your successor.

Utah Hockey Club has a new name. Here’s everything you need to know.
Ha!
I was rooting for Yeti but my hopes tumbled.
