Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

-- Texas Longhorns didn't have a player taken in NFL Draft for first time since all the way back in 1937. Damn.

-- Spurs punished Portland again; Trailblazers have been down 19+ at the half in all three series games. Spurs bench has outscored Portland's, 140-43.

-- Does New England drafting QB Jimmy Garappolo mean they're trading backup Ryan Mallett to the Texans?

-- A's rallied from down 3-1 in 9th to beat Washington 4-3; Donaldson tied game with an RBI single, Jaso won it with a double off the wall.

-- Mets pinch-hit for both Lucas Duda/Travis D'Arnaud with bases loaded in their loss to the Phils last night; pinch-hitting for Duda with a kid making his debut in the major leagues seemed like a bad idea (Campbell hit a sac fly).

-- Plate umpire Scott Barry may have broken his hand when hit by a pitched ball last night in Seattle; he left the game in the third inning.

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind........

13) SBNation.com ran a great chart this week about NFL teams drafting QB’s; since 1984, the Kansas City Chiefs have won only two games that were started by a QB they drafted. Next fewest are the Texans, with 26, but their franchise is only twelve years old. Last time KC won a game started by a QB they drafted was in 1987. Team that was on top of that list was Atlanta, with 387, helped greatly by Brett Favre, who was a Falcon for only his rookie season.

12) Whether it is Hoyer or Manziel starting at QB for Cleveland September 7, he will be the 12th different Opening Day QB for the Browns in the last 16 years; if it is Hoyer, then Manziel will probably be the 13th in 17 years in 2015.

11) Saw a graphic this week that would sicken any Oakland Raider fan; their #1 draft picks in 2004-05-07 are all out of the NFL now. The pick after theirs in those three years: ’04- Larry Fitzgerald, ’05- Aaron Rodgers, ’07- Calvin Johnson. Oy, thats three Hall of Famers.

10) Tim Duncan has played in more NBA playoff games than thirteen entire franchises have.

9) No Big Dozen football player has been picked in top 10 of the NFL Draft since Michigan’s Jake Long in 2008- that includes Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Nebraska, Penn State, etc. Not even Northwestern.

8) Colorado Rockies team batting average at Coors Field this year is .355, which is an amazing number, high altitude or not.

7) I say this every year and it is still true; if every American did his job as well as Mel Kiper Jr does his, this would be a better country.

6) Burlington Bees, a minor league team in the Class A Midwest League, led 17-1 after the fifth inning Wednesday, but lost 20-17; apparently their bullpen has some issues. Winning pitcher for Clinton was their seccond baseman.

5) Highlight game of the SEC-Big X basketball challenge next fall is the Florida-Kansas game. Thats a bigtime game for November. .

4) University of Maine hired a new basketball coach to a 4-year contract at $105K a year. Kentucky’s three assistant basketball coaches, the ASSISTANT coaches, make $375K/$375K/$500K a year. Wow.

3) Only three NBA coaches have won their first four playoff road games: Mike Dunleavy, Pat Riley, Randy Wittman.

2) I've been a Ram fan since I was six years old; I hope Michael Sam is a great football player who helps the Rams win at least one Super Bowl. I don't give a rat's ass who he has sex with; I'm already tired of hearing about that aspect of it.

If you're good enough you play; if not, then you get cut. If you think Sam is the only gay pro athlete, you're an ostrich. We're all Americans, we should all have the same rights, whether we agree with each others' lifestyle or not.

1) Roger Goodell had to be very relieved Sam got drafted; league would've been ripped to shreds by the media if he hadn't been.

Gordon gets first win of 2014 season

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Jeff Gordon held off Kevin Harvick during the final laps and went on to win the 5-Hour Energy 400 Sprint Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway on Saturday night.

The victory was the first of the year for the four-time champion and his third at Kansas Speedway.

The win was his first since Martinsville last fall and it gave him a place in the record book as the first winner of a night race at the track.

Harvick finished second after leading the most laps in the race.

Kasey Kahne, Gordon’s teammate at Hendrick Motorsports, finished third and Joey Logano was fourth. Fifth was a third Hendrick car, driven Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Rounding out the top 10 were Carl Edwards, Danica Patrick, Aric Almirola, Jimmie Johnson and Matt Kenseth.

Patrick had by far her most impressive effort on a non-restrictor plate track. She started ninth, hung tough for the first half of the race and then began moving forward. On Lap 162, she blew past both Tony Stewart and Earnhardt and moved to third place.

A slow pit stop during a caution on Lap 177 knocked her back to seventh, but she hung tough to post her best NASCAR Sprint Cup finish.

Harvick broke clean from his pole position on the start and began to move out. By Lap 15 of the 267-lap event, he had a two-plus second lead. Behind him, the field was well spread out. By Lap 33, the lead was three seconds. He would lead 89 laps in dominating fashion during the first half of the race.

However, the night went bad for Harvick when a spin by Marcos Ambrose on Lap 110 produced a caution. Harvick had pitted as the leader six laps earlier while most of the rest of the field did not. That put him a lap off the pace. He did get the free pass, but when the race went green, he was outside of the top 15.

Harvick was not done, however. He slowly worked his way back forward and on a restart on Lap 195 climbed to third place. On a restart on Lap 207, he was second, below leader Joey Logano, and moved back to the lead between Turns 3 and 4.

Harvick lost the lead to Gordon during green flag pit stops 40 laps from the end and could never get back to the lead.

The first night race at Kansas dashed some hopes for two "favorite sons."

Hopes for a victory by a hometown hero took a series shot on Lap 47 when Kansas native Clint Bowyer of Michael Waltrip Racing snapped around on the backstretch. He kept his Toyota off the wall and clean but dropped a lap off the pace.

Hopes for a victory on what he considers his home track went up in smoke for Springfield, Mo.’s Jamie McMurray after his car blew a tire, broke an oil line and burst into flames early in the race.

The start of the race was pushed back not by rain but by lightning. It was not until after the cars had moved out onto the track for the parade laps that rain began to fall. But it was very light, quickly evaporated on the warm asphalt and the race was started after a 35-minute delay.

Game of the Day: Pacers at Wizards
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indiana Pacers at Washington Wizards (-4.5, 180.5)

Pacers lead series 2-1.

Whatever it was the Indiana Pacers lost in the second half of the regular season and through the first eight games of the playoffs, they appear to have found it again. The Washington Wizards are now back on their heels and will try to avoid falling into a 3-1 hole in the Eastern Conference semifinals when they host the Pacers in Game 4 on Sunday. Roy Hibbert came out of his funk in Game 2 and is leading a suffocating defense for Indiana.

The Wizards controlled the pace in Game 1 and looked like they would cruise to a series win before Hibbert, who had been scoreless in three of the previous four playoff games, went for a season-high 28 points to guide the Pacers to a win in Game 2. The All-Star center kept that form in Game 3 and put his stamp on the game on the defensive end as Washington was held to 32.9 percent shooting in an 85-63 loss. The Wizards scored a regular season-low 66 points in a loss to Indiana on Jan. 10 and set the franchise low for points in the Game 3 loss.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNT

LINE HISTORY: The Wizards opened as 4.5-point faves, were bet to -5 and are back to -4.5. The total opened at 180 and is up a half-point to 180.5.

INJURY REPORT: N/A.

ABOUT THE PACERS: Indiana made its mark in the first half of the regular season as a defensive juggernaut, running up the best record in the league on the strength of that defense before slumping badly over the final two months. The Pacers wanted to get back to that rugged style in the postseason and finally accomplished that over the last two games. “This was probably the ugliest game of the postseason thus far,” Paul George told reporters of Game 3. “This is our style of basketball. Every now and then this team is fortunate to get hot offensively, but what we do is play defense.” George carried the team offensively with 23 points in Game 3 while Hibbert added 14 - his second-highest mark of the playoffs.

ABOUT THE WIZARDS: Washington’s front line of Nene and Marcin Gortat was a big advantage in Game 1 with Hibbert going scoreless but the two combined for only 12 points on 5-of-21 shooting in Game 3. “(Game 3) was the worst offensive night we’ve had,” Nene told reporters. “Looked like we tried to miss shots.” The backcourt struggled to make up the difference as Bradley Beal posted his lowest scoring total of the series and John Wall committed seven of the team’s 18 turnovers. “This really was a clunker for us,” Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. “It was our first one (of the playoffs). We’ve got to let it go. We can play better.”

TRENDS:

* Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings.
* Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.
* Pacers are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games.
* Wizards are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games overall.

CONSENSUS: Sixty-nine percent of wagers are on the Pacers -4.5.

Pacers/Wizards: The Game Inside the Game
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How much fun is it to be able to talk about a team named Wizards with a reference back to Oz? But that really may be the starting point as Game #4 approaches – a young team is dealing head-on with the notion that they “are not in Kansas anymore”. And dealing with that notion is tantamount as you build your handicap.

Earlier in this series there was a take on how under-rated the Washington defense has been by the betting markets (http://www.***********/articles/arti...?theArt=371887), and so far in this matchup they are holding the Pacers to 89 ppg on 42.3 percent shooting. But that has only been good enough to win one of the three games. The defense has held up well as the playoff pressure increases because that part of the game is largely about intensity and effort. But offense requires poise, precision and proper decision-making, which for the Wizards has been an entirely different matter.

The Washington offense was a disaster in Game #3 on Friday, failing to top 18 points in any quarter, on 32.9 percent shooting, with an alarming count of 17 turnovers vs. only 10 assists. Even when unguarded it was dismal, with an 11-21 from the FT line. But instead of isolating that as a single game, was it a continuation of a “Kansas” moment from Wednesday at Indianapolis?

The Wizards led the Pacers 77-74 with 5:00 remaining in that game. It was a chance to go up 2-0 by sweeping the road set, and to psychologically take control of the series. That created a heady moment for a young team that did not even harbor significant playoff aspirations when the season began. And they did not handle it well.

Washington made two baskets over the final 5:00, one of them an easy alley-up finish by Marcin Gortat. Outside of that it was 1-8 from the field, with six of the shots coming from 3-point range. A couple of them were hideous, with John Wall twice forcing triples early in the shot clock after offensive rebounds had extended a possession. If someone called that a meltdown, you should not argue the point.

That carried over into Friday, and now creates a crisis of confidence on offense for a team that has produced counts of 18-17-16-12-18 over the last five quarters. It is a crisis that becomes magnified by the fact that the Pacers were #1 in the league in defensive efficiency this season, by more than a full point per 100 possessions better than anyone else, and are a full 3.1 points lower than anyone else in the post-season. Of course we negate the latter somewhat because of the weak competition, but Washington now represents 144 minutes of that competition.

Your starting point to properly attack Game #4 is not about Zig Zag trends involving beaten home favorites, or any lingering anti-Indiana notions that are still in the air. It is whether or not the Wizards can be trusted to play with poise on the offensive end, and show the mental toughness to work deep into a shot clock to make something good happen. You need not fear their ability to guard; that will be there. But even with five playoff wins under their belts already, the offense remains an open issue. In this game, it may be “the” open issue.

Thunder at Clippers: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oklahoma City Thunder at Los Angeles Clippers (-5, 214.5)

The Los Angeles Clippers are in must-win mode while the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder are in position to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series in Sunday’s Game 4. After the Clippers cruised to a 17-point road win in the opener, Oklahoma City has bounced back with two solid victories as Los Angeles struggles to slow the Thunder attack. Oklahoma City has averaged 115 points in its two victories and shot 55.7 percent from the field in Friday’s 118-112 triumph.

Clippers coach Doc Rivers says the defensive play needs to improve and point guard Chris Paul is gearing up for a battle to knot the series. “We definitely have got to play with a sense of urgency,” Paul told reporters. “We understand that it’s not over. It’s not time to hang our heads.” Oklahoma City stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have played solid back-to-back games while power forward Serge Ibaka stepped up with 20 points on 9-of-10 shooting in Game 3. “He plays with every ounce of fiber he has for his team,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said of Ibaka. “He’s really developed a nice midrange shot.”

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, ABC

ABOUT THE THUNDER: Remember all that silliness about Durant being “Mr. Unreliable” at the beginning of the month? His play is certainly again superior to the headline writers in Oklahoma City after a superb 36-point, eight-rebounds, six-assist outing in Game 3. Durant is averaging 31 points, eight rebounds and 6.3 assists in the series while Westbrook is averaging 27.7 points, nine assists and 7.3 rebounds. Just as important in Game 3 was the play of Ibaka and backups like Caron Butler, Reggie Jackson and Steven Adams. Butler and Jackson scored 14 points apiece and Adams collected nine rebounds.

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS: Los Angeles typically excels in transition but that has been an ingredient missing in this series due to substandard defense and poor rebounding. The Clippers have just 37 fast-break points and it is hard to get out and run the floor when you have been outrebounded by an average of 14.3 boards. “In this series so far, we really haven’t gotten in transition at all,” coach Doc Rivers told reporters on Saturday. “They have taken that away from us because they’re scoring on us. We’ve got to do a better job of getting stops in a row so we can get some kind of offensive rhythm in transition.”

TRENDS:

* Road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Over is 11-4 in the last 15 meetings.
* Over is 7-0 in Clippers last seven home games.
* Clippers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Westbrook is shooting 58 percent from the field in the series after an accuracy rate of just 38.2 percent in the first round against Memphis.

2. Los Angeles PF Blake Griffin had his best outing of the series with 34 points and eight rebounds in Game 3.

3. Butler is 6-of-22 shooting in the series – 5-of-12 from 3-point range but only 1-of-10 from inside the arc.

Chris Davis, Baltimore - 15-day DL

Davis has been placed on the 15-day disabled list due to a strained left oblique and will complete a rehab assignment before rejoining the team.

Headley returns with a big bang, propels Pads to win

Chase Headley is ready to restart his season. He hopes it’s the last time, too. Stalled twice because of a pesky right calf strain, the 30-year-old third baseman returned from the disabled list Saturday in good health, in good spirits and with one really good swing: a three-run, 427-foot home run that spurred the Padres’ suddenly-not-so meager offense on to a 9-3 win over the Miami Marlins.

One more for road team in Ducks' win

It's anything but "home sweet home" in the Freeway Faceoff series between the Anaheim Ducks and the Los Angeles Kings. For two teams that played well at home during the regular season, their performances in front of their fans have been disappointing during the Western Conference semifinals.

Winger Devante Smith-Pelly and center Ryan Getzlaf scored goals, rookie goaltender John Gibson made 28 saves and the Ducks defeated the Kings 2-0 on Saturday night.

Anaheim tied the playoff series at two wins each, with a pivotal Game 5 on Monday night at the Honda Center. The home team yet to win a game in the series.

Bruins put Habs on brink with Game 5 win

The Boston Bruins know their work against the rival Montreal Canadiens isn't over.

But they also know how important it was for them to win Game 5 at home Saturday night, taking a 3-2 lead in this Eastern Conference semifinal series with a 4-2 win.

"We did everything we wanted to," said Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask, who followed his Game 4 shutout with 29 saves. "Good start. Kept pushing, kept pushing, got the power-play goal. Never looked back, so it was a great effort from everybody."

NOTES: Bruins LW Milan Lucic, whose only goal of the series was an empty netter, was officially credited with seven hits Saturday. ... Montreal C Daniel Briere was a healthy scratch, with LW Brandon Prust back in the lineup. ... Saturday marked the 44th anniversary of Bobby Orr's Stanley Cup-winning goal, with Orr and Derek Sanderson, who passed to him on the winner, introduced to the crowd. It was also the 35th anniversary of the infamous too-many-men penalty the Bruins took against Montreal in Game 7 of the conference finals, the Canadiens winning the game before going on to win the Stanley Cup. ... Former Bruins C Ken Linseman was the team's honorary flag captain before Saturday night's game. ... G Carey Price played in his 39th playoff game with the Canadiens, tying Gump Worsley for fifth place on the team's all-time list.

Wild at Blackhawks: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minnesota Wild at Chicago Blackhawks (-199, 5)

The Minnesota Wild attempt to buck the trend in their Western Conference second-round series when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks for Game 5 on Sunday. The home team has won each of the first four games in the matchup, with Chicago capturing the first two by a combined margin of six goals and Minnesota taking the next two by the same differential. The pattern was similar in the first round for the Wild, as the home club claimed each of the first six contests before Minnesota posted an overtime victory in Game 7 over the Avalanche in Colorado.

The reigning Stanley Cup-champion Blackhawks struggled at Xcel Energy Center, scoring a total of two goals in the two defeats. Chicago has lost two in a row for the second time this postseason, which it opened with a pair of overtime losses in St. Louis before reeling off six consecutive victories. Defenseman Jared Spurgeon helped the Wild even the series on Friday, registering a power-play goal and an assist as Minnesota improved to 5-0 at home in the playoffs while Chicago dropped to 1-4 on the road.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, CNBC, TSN, RDS2

ABOUT THE WILD: Left wing Matt Moulson will miss his second straight game and defenseman Keith Ballard also will be sidelined as neither made the trip to the Windy City due to undisclosed injuries. Nate Prosser likely will replace Ballard, as he appeared in Minnesota's first nine games this postseason before being a healthy scratch for the last two. Matt Cooke made an impact in his return from a seven-game suspension on Friday, registering an assist as well as a game-high five hits.

ABOUT THE BLACKHAWKS: Chicago will be without center Andrew Shaw for the fourth consecutive contest due to a lower-body injury, which he suffered in the series opener. Left wing Brandon Bollig also is unavailable as he received a two-game suspension for boarding Ballard late in the second period of Game 4. Marian Hossa hopes to continue his torrid pace in the series as he has collected a goal and seven assists over the first four contests.

TRENDS:

* Wild are 1-7 in the last eight meetings in Chicago.
* Home team is 7-0 in the last seven meetings.
* Over is 15-6-5 in Wild last 26 overall.
* Blackhawks are 6-2 in their last eight vs. Central.

OVERTIME:

1. Chicago is a perfect 5-0 at home this postseason, while Minnesota is 1-5 on the road.

2. Three of the nine players with more than one game-winning goal in the playoffs are participating in this series. Chicago captain Jonathan Toews shared the league lead with three, while teammate Patrick Kane and Wild RW Nino Niederreiter have two apiece.

3. The Blackhawks have been held to fewer than 23 shots in each game of the series.
