Quote of the day
"I don't think I ever coached a game when a team got three 35-point quarters, maybe in my career. Ever." -- Denver Nuggets coach George Karl, after Golden State blitzed the Nuggets in Denver, 131-117Daily blurb
When David Lee went down in the first game of the Warriors/Nuggets series, the Nuggets were essentially given a bye into the second round – by many. But not by the Warriors, who lit up the Nuggets for 131 points, shooting 65% from the field (56% on treys). Go figure. That seems like an unlikely performance to repeat, although they do go home for the next two.
Not a good day for Boston. While the Warriors were running off three straight quarters of 35, the Celtics managed only 23 points in the entire second half. And that was much better than the Red Sox, who lost 13-0 in Fenway. At least rain ended that misery early.

In baseball, two more postponements. We’re now up to 17 postponements, all in the last 14 days. Last year, we had only 6 postponements through April 23. Two years ago, we were up to 15 postponements by this date, but in 2010, we’d had only one so far. I’m sure 17 at this point is not a record, but it must be well above average.
Kevin Correia. I believe I got that right.
The Upton brothers homered in back-to-back at bats last night. It was only the second time that brothers have gone deep BTB. The first time - Lloyd and Paul Waner in 1938. That sounds even rarer than 17 postponements in 14 days.
