Everywhere you turned weekend, there was an NBA game on.

The San Antonio Spurs get top billing as they swept the “much younger” (again, not true) Los Angeles Clippers. San Antonio is now 8-0 in the playoffs and have not lost a game since 1994. Or April 11.

The Spurs look to be on a collision course with the Oklahoma City Thunder, who now sit one game away from advancing to the Western Conference Finals for the second year in a row. The Thunder split their weekend games in LA, losing Friday night, but pulling out a win on Saturday, going on a 25-9 run to close the game, with Kevin Durant putting the final dagger into the Lakers, sealing a 103-100 win.

In the East, both series currently sit at a 2-2 draw. The Miami Heat played like the Miami Heat yesterday, getting a modest 40 pt, 18 rebound, 9 assist game from the overrated and not clutch LeBron James. Dwyane Wade also woke up before Sunday’s game and scored 30 points. Combine their totals with Udonis Haslem and the rest of the Heat team scored 17 points. Miami Heat basketball!

Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics cannot put away a game Philadelphia 76ers squad. David Stern waits in anticipation of a final four featuring the markets of Indianapolis, Philadelphia, San Antonio, and Oklahoma City.

It turns out that the LA Kings aren’t quite as good as this space has made them out to be. That is to say that they are not invincible.

Yesterday, with an opportunity to complete their second consecutive playoff sweep, the LA Kings fell 2-0 to the Phoenix Coyotes. The win was Phoenix goalie Mike Smith’s third shutout in the 2012 playoffs and gives the Coyotes one more day of life against a team that has been better than them 75% of the time.

Out East, in a series that has captivated audiences (okay, not so much), the New York Rangers took a 2-1 series lead following a 3-0 win on Saturday in Newark. The Rangers scored each of their 3 goals in the third period.

You may not have noticed it, what with other things happening, but baseball reached the ¼ mark of its season this weekend.  Some notes:

If having the best record guaranteed a World Series berth, we’d be heading towards a Baltimore Orioles/Los Angeles Dodgers matchup. The Orioles have to be the surprise story of the first half. Their pitching has performed well above ceiling and they are getting an All-Star like performance out of Adam Jones.

The Dodgers themselves are a surprise front-runner. Despite possessing the game’s best hitter and pitcher, the Dodgers were seen mostly as an also-ran, due in large part to the other 23 guys on their roster. However, even with Clayton Kershaw taking some time to get his season on track, and with Matt Kemp currently on the DL, the Dodgers keep winning and aren’t showing any signs of letting up.

Individually, the Triple Crown is the focus in the American League as Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton currently holds a large lead in all 3 triple-crown categories (.Avg, HR, RBI).

Meanwhile, in the NL, Mets 3B David Wright is currently batting .412. No Major League hitter has batted .400 in a season since 1941.

There was a big soccer game this weekend in Munich. Bayern Munich and Chelsea played for the UEFA Champions League Title. Munich dominated most of regular time, but failed to score a goal until the 85^thminute on a smart header by Thomas Mueller. The neutral site crowd inside of Bayern Munich’s home stadium went nuts.  For 5 minutes, the buzz was deafening. And then, in an instant, the silence became deafening.

Didier Drogba, in perhaps his last game for Chelsea (because, soccer), scored on a savage header off of a corner kick to send the match to extra time.

In penalty kicks, Chelsea pulled it out, thanks again to Drogba. Much to the dismay of some and the joy of others.
