Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

-- Clippers 111, Spurs 109-- LA wins tremendous 7-game series.

-- Of eight teams left in NBA playoffs, three have never won a title; '98 Bulls are the most recent champion that is still playing.

-- Tennessee Volunteers didn't have player taken in NFL Draft for the first time since way back in 1963.

-- Florida State (11), Louisville (10) had the most players taken.

-- Rangers' 3B Adrian Beltre has played the 3rd-most games (2,363) at third base of anyone in big league history.

-- Only seven QBs were drafted this year, the least since 1967.

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up an outstanding day.......

13) Baseball umpire Bill Miller is a tough dude; he was doing the plate Friday night-- in the ninth inning he gets drilled on the left kneecap by a pitch the Angels' catcher totally missed-- he was on the ground for a while, but he didn't come off the field and he umpired third base Saturday. Like I said, tough guy.

12) TNT announcer Reggie Miller blew off announcing Game 7 of the Clipper-Spur series so he could go to the fight in Las Vegas-- why should TNT keep him on their payroll? He's not that good an analyst anyway.

11) So the Spurs have the ball with one second left, down a hoop, their whole season on the line. They line up, they start to run the play-- the guy running the scoreboard hits the horn for no apparent reason, setting off San Antonio's bench into a justifiable frenzy. It helps to be playing at home.

10) Serious question: Do people/companies who own airplanes have to pay airports to land/take off?

9) Cal Golden Bears had a huge recruiting season; they landed Jaylen Brown this weekend, one of the best recruits in the Class of 2015. Cal will be a top 10 team when the season starts in November.

8) Saints drafted Colorado State QB Garrett Grayson, the highest the Saints have drafted a QB since Archie Manning in 1971.

7) The woman who plays Kevin Kline's wife (Joanna Gleason) in the movie Last Vegas is the daughter of the old gameshow host Monty Hall.

6) Next week's Players Championship will have all of world's top 50 golfers for the first time since 2005- it used to always be played before The Masters.

5) Starling Gibbs transfers from Seton Hall to UConn, a good get for Kevin Ollie and the Huskies. Gibbs averaged 16 ppg for the Pirates LY- they must've had a dismal season, as many transfers as they've had the last few months.

4) St John's landed recruit Malik Ellison, son of Pervis Ellison. Have feeling Chris Mullin is going to have a power on his hands pretty soon.

3) Over the last 6+ years, under is 124-79 when James Hoye umps the plate.

2) SEC wound up 54 players drafted this weekend, 9th year in row they had the most players drafted. ACC had 47 guys taken, Pac-12 had 39.

1) It boggles my mind that Floyd Mayweather made $180 million last night.

Armadillo's Write-Up

Sunday, May 3

Tampa Bay won its last six games with Montreal; they needed 22:06 of OT to pull upset in Game 1- five of last seven series games went over total. Habs scored total of six goals in losing last four home games with Tampa Bay. Lightning has now won its last three games overall. Canadiens won three of their last five home games- four of their last five games stayed under total. Montreal had 44-35 edge in shots in Game 1, 55-34 in faceoffs, 43-32 in hits, but they lost. Since they last won Stanley Cup in '93, Montreal is 2-4 in this round. In its franchise history, Tampa Bay is 1-2 in this round.

Minnesota lost six of last eight games with Chicago- they tied Game 1 after being down 3-0, but lost 4-3; five of last eight games in series stayed under. Wild won three of last five games; they gave up two or fewer goals in their last six wins. Chicago won four of last five games; six of their last seven went over the total. Blackhawks outshot Minnesota 15-8 in scoreless third period in Game 1 despite protecting a lead. Minnesota split its two appearances in the 2nd round. Chicago won last four series in this round; they won Stanley Cup in '10 and '13.

Home side won nine of last 11 Calgary-Anaheim games, with Flames 1-23 in last 24 games played in Orange County- seven of last nine series games went over. Calgary is 7-4 in its last 11 games (under 6-4-1); they scored one goal in each of the losses. Flames lost four of last five road games. Anaheim won nine of last 11 games overall, but both losses came at home. Calgary won its first playoff series in 11 years when they upset Vancouver; question is, are they satisfied or will they compete harder in this game than they did in Game 1?
