Hacks and Sacks: 2016 NFL Draft Reactions
Jared Goff or Carson Wentz? That was the big question after both the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles mortgaged the house to trade up into the top two.

The Spurs it is. Just as the Red Woman foresaw it, Oklahoma City and San Antonio will meet in the Western Conference semi-finals.
Steph Curry returned from a couple games off with a sore ankle in game four of the GSW-HOU series only to then injure his knee. He played just 19 minutes, shooting 1 of 7, and left the game not to return.
So who saw the Rockets playing like that in game three? How about Isaiah Thomas' career night for the Celtics? Or big name Dame bringing his A-Game?
Aaaaaalrighty then. 82 games down for 30 different teams and that’s that for the regular season. Which means that 16 teams are now embarking on the fabled postseason while 14 others start preparing their draft boards or maybe looking for new head coaches.
You know what one of my very favourite things about the playoffs is? Seeing unlikely heroes stand up and drive their team to victory.
We’ll say this much, Steven Adams had a fantastic final few minutes. He was out there hustling, winning rebound and defending like a champ. He had four offensive boards in the last five, two were kicked out for missed threes, one he tipped in himself and the fourth… we’ll get to that.
Sean Marks was at the Spurs so long it must seem weird to be hanging around in the NBA at this time of the year without having a playoff game to prepare for.
How about the Pacers going into Canada and returning with a 10-point win on the back of Paul George’s mastery? 33 points for a dude who a year ago was just returning from that horrific broken leg.
As farewells go, this one was just exactly right. One game, one monster occasion, that summed up everything that anyone has ever said about Kobe Bryant’s career.
Right so there we have it. The regular season is over and the playoffs… well, they’re not quite set yet. Give it another day.
Remember how last year Kirk Penney was maybe possibly gonna return to the NBL after his contract in Spain ran up and we semi-assumed it’d be at the Breakers where he’s already a club legend after his last stint but it wasn’t and he signed for the Illawarra Hawks instead?
There may have been a few speed bumps on the way but the Minnesota Timberwolves are on the brink of being something special. Here's the story of how they did it.
The Thunder have booked the three seed in the West, that much is sure. But who do they and Steven Adams wanna play in the first round?
It’s always good banter to assess the state of things at the beginning of the new season, getting the ball rolling either rolling sharply down the bleachers after a crushing homer or softly towards third for a simple put out.
