    Yeah, Nadal couldn't have asked for a better draw considering his form entering the tourney. I'm not sure he can beat Djokovic in the Final if they do meet up though, but he certainly can make it that far. I'm predicting Nishikori to win a slam this year, and am looking forward to his QF vs Wawrinka barring any upsets.

    Tennis is the sport I was always best at as a kid. Still actively play it, and love it. As for golf.....I'm about as terrible as it gets on the course. If hitting trees was the objective, I'd be better than Woods and Mcilroy.

    rafa looked like shit against smechek (sp)
    even though he prevailed, it was barely... against an unranked player
    not sure if he was tired or unmotivated, but if he plays like that against a decent player he'll get spanked
    imo, it's novak and serena's tournament to lose...
    barring them coming out flat and/or an opponent coming out on fire

    Kobe has a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder. That should put him out a while. Let's get into the top 3!

    I'd say 25 million reasons not to, but he'll get that money regardless because the NBA is stupid

    The Final last year made me sick to my stomach. When Novak lost to Stan, I was already celebrating Rafa's title. He had never lost a set to Wawrinka, let alone a match. Then all of a sudden his back flares up and he loses. I was shocked.

    Don't want Deron Williams overpaid and isn't that good now.
    Sign Durant and Rondo in the next two off-seasons. Draft Okafor,
    next year:
    C Okafor
    PF Randle
    SF ?
    SG Kobe
    PG Rondo
    2016:
    C Okafor
    PF Randle
    SF Durant
    SG Young (or maybe a FA like DeRozan)
    PG Rondo

    Evan Turner?..:rofl:

    i don't know that Love is a winning player either. can't defend his position..can't play him at the 5 either because he can't anchor a defense in the middle. teams going small now just running him out of the building. i'd pass on Love and just hand it over to Randle.

    that Rockets' draft pick may net them Frank Kamensky later in the 1st round. would love to see them double up..grab a good guy @ #4 or #5 and then get Kamensky later.

    the Horn chick from Magic Mike?

    Literally the perfect matchup for Roger. Seppi has one of the weaker serves on the ATP tour and doesn't have an offensive game. 10-0 vs him and only lost 1 set to him prior to tonight. I'm shocked.

    Roger didn't have it tonight, but Seppi earned it. He played great in both tiebreaks.

    Sad....but Roger came into the AO with great form. Played great in 2014, won a tournament before the AO....one of the more shocking losses i've seen in recent years.

    I was at the Clippers game tonight and TMT showed up. Well, the crowd absolutely gave it to him.

    They were chanting Pacquiao all through the night. Actually started feeling awkward, lol. May weather, to his credit, didn't react and stay all the way until the end of the game, which was over by the 2nd quarter.

    On a side note, I had 3rd row seats and they were sick! Fuck those guys are huge...
