Las Vegas - Which side of the fence are you on? Here are the numbers, you make the call. In the first three games against the Hawks, Joel Embiid averaged 35.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.3 steals in 35.5 minutes. But, as we all saw in game four, Joel was dragging his leg around, and did NOT look like the Joel everyone knows and loves. His overall shooting numbers for the game were awful, 4/20 FGs, but ATROCIOUS in the 2nd half with an OH for TWELVE bagel.

Las Vegas - You know that I've been playing AGAINST Matt Harvey almost every time out, and WILL again tonight. If you want me to remind you why, check out these numbers in his last six starts. Got him down for 23 innings pitched, 39 hits and 31 earned runs. That's painful to type. Needed a special calculator to find out that his ERA in that span is 12.13. Cleveland is sending Cal Quantrill to the hill.

Las Vegas - It looks like life is getting easier with every game. The Sixers were squeezed in the first game at home, 128-124, but since then, it's been all Liberty Bell. Game two was a breezy 118-102 win, and then a 127-111 beauty down in Atlanta. The 76ers will be without Danny Green, but Joel and his tiny meniscus tear get an extra day of rest.

Las Vegas - If you're up early, 6:00 AM out here in Vegas, then you are probably gonna be watching the French Open final between Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas. They've played seven times, with Djokovic holding a 5-2 edge. But Djoker is 3-0 on clay. He beat Stefanos back in 2019 in Madrid, 6-3, 6-4. Last year, in Paris, Novak pulled out a W in a five set match, winning 6-3, 6-2, 5-7, 4-6, 6-1. This year, in Rome, Djokovic beat Tsitsipas, 4-6, 7-5, 7-5.

Las Vegas - Most of you probably know this, but it's worth repeating. The NBA is the only major North American sport with a seven-game playoffs series where no team has overcome a 3–0 deficit. NEVER. EVER. So, this becomes game seven for the Clippers. Lose and go down 0-3 and the golf clubs are getting pulled out of the garage. How do the Clips win? It AIN'T gonna be coaching, because Quin Snyder EATS Ty Lue for lunch. Gotta be a massive effort from Kawhi and PG13. Like 30+ points for each.
