Post-Draft, NBA

Top Drafts:
Bengals, A
Andre Smith, the oft-criticized OL from Alabama, went to the Bengals in the first round, at #6. I was a bit unsure at first, but hey, it's the BENGALS. They have Tank Johnson. And Chris Henry. And Chad Johnson. And Cedric Benson. And - OK, fine. The end. Also, falling to them (luck) was Rey Maualuga. What a great pick, as the Bengals improve in big ways after the draft.

Jets, A-
Depending on how Mark Sanchez does, the Jets' draft will be good or bad. A crafty trade, then another one at the beginning of day2, for Shonn Greene, is huge.

Worst Drafts:
Oakland, F-
Darrius Heyward-Bey isn't so much a terrible pick. He's a blazer, but raw. HOWEVER. This Michael Mitchell dude from Ohio was supposed to be a late round pick, if he got picked. So, he goes to the Raiders... IN THE SECOND ROUND. Niiiiiccccceeeee.
hahahahah.

NBA Playoffs.
Magic 84 76ers 81 - The Magic avoided another collapse as Turkoglu hit his only 3 of the game with 0.9 seconds left, as the Magic beat the host Sixers.

The Rockets beat the Blazers.

The Chicago Bulls took a thriller away from the Celtics, 121-118 I believe. The game was tied as Derrick Rose drove to the lane, and miiiiised. Then OT came upon us, when the Celtics were up the WHOLE time seemingly until Ben Gordon hit a clutch 3, and a crotch grab. No, this v isn't the crotch grab, this is just B-Gords.
