NBA and NHL Playoffs Update

Only one ‘offs “qtr” stands (3-1), that Indiana (Pacers), bidding for a second straight “qtrs” win, sans home advantage, leading Cleveland after the teams exchanged rout wins in #’s 3 and 4 in Indy, the latter saw Indy with an incredible (80-39) lead at the half in an eventual 20 points “ease.”

Last year’s Indiana quarters win was vs the Knicks in an all home through 6 games, won in a #7 rout by the Pacers. After the Celts followed through and routed the Knicks in #3, the Knicks still lead (2-1) and now 7 of the 10 (2-0), ’67 on Knicks/Celts series went to (2-1). Of those, 5 became (3-1) with the ’67 best of 5 “quarter” ending that way.

Out West, “City” that is Oklahoma City (Thunder) about whom and sports in general “localer,” Robin cares not, won #4 to split in Denver and are “top heavy” to advance, but surely that is not certain.

That series winner faces the Minnesota (Timberwolves)/G.S. Warriors series winner, an entity, Minne leads (2-1) vs the “Curry-less” Warriors.

For the record in the NHL, while defending champion Florida (Panthers) won both at home to get even (2-2) vs “Tor,” Dallas (Stars), Carolina (Hurricanes) and Edmonton (Oilers) all sans home “adv,” lead their series (2-1).

The beautiful 1920’s performer/actress Norma Talmadge is pictured above. Those were the so called “Roaring Twenties.”

A century later (no roar, Bill Rohr hurled 8 one third hitless innings vs the Yankees on opening day ’67, a season 100 to 1 Red Sox “impossible dreamed” to a 7 game W.S. albeit falling short to the great Gibson (Bob), in #7) will the Panthers make it 6 of 6 2020’s seasons with a Florida team, either they (them?) or the T.B. Lightning as an NHL finalist?
