Carlos Delfino had 24 points and Chris Bosh scored 21 plus nine rebounds as the host Toronto Raptors cruised to a 113-85 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Friday night.
The win officially eliminated the Nets from the post-season, one year after Jersey beat Toronto in the first round of the playoffs.
The Jazz defeated the Spurs 109-83. They trimmed the lead back down to 2-1. The Jazz remained perfect at home in the playoffs. The Spurs could not find their grove at all. The fans gave the Jazz a big boost. Deron Williams had 31 points and 8 assists for the Jazz while star teammate Carlos Boozer had 27 points and 12 rebounds. The 26 point margin of defeat was the Spurs worst of the season. Derek Fisher, Andrei Kirilenko, Jarron Collins, and Gordon Giricek all helped in the 12-3 run during the 3rd quarter. Paul Millsap had some key baskets in the 4th quarter. Mehmet Okur did not have his shot back but he helped play great defense on Tim Duncan. He even got him into big foul trouble! It was the first game in 12 games that Duncan did not have a 20 point 10 rebound game. This will probably give the Jazz more confidence and they might be able to even up the series. Also look for the Spurs to come out and get revenge in game 4. This will be a good series now.
After losing to China 3-1 yesterday Team USA softball regroup and won both of their games today to take the gold medal. Now thats what a USA team is suppose to do. I hope the NBA players on the Dream Team was watching and rooting them on. You never give up and good things will happen.
I understand that in basketball it’s one and your done. We have dominated softball for the longest time and after we lost many people thought our time had come and gone. Team USA didn’t think so and I’m very proud of you ladies for bringing home the GOLD!! You rock!!!
NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony was arrested early Monday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence, hours after his worst game of the season.

The Toronto Raptors overcame a brilliant outing by former teammate Charlie Villanueva to beat the stumbling Milwaukee Bucks 111-93 at the Air Canada Centre on Wednesday night.

Little known oral Roberts university has shocked the college basketball world by knocking off #3 kansas 78-71. Marchello Vealy hit his first seven shots which were three points to help stunn the Jayhawks. Oral Roberts seem quicker and looked like a number three team more than Kansas did.
Kansas acted liked they didn’t want to be their and maybe should have stayed home as their is no gimme games in college basketball anymore. You don’t believe me just as the Jayhawks who got beat by Oral Roberts.
....and a competitive basketball player?
Marcus Jordan is 17, a high school junior looks like he might be following in his father's legendary footsteps.
Watching the North Carolina-Ohio State basketball game last night you had to sit and wonder if you were watching a final four preview as North Caolina defeated Ohio State 98-89. Both teams are loaded with talent and the buckeyes played with out 7 foot star Greg Oden who witout a doubt will be a force when he suits up.
These two teams have cornerd the market on young talent and it was on display last night for the world to see. Ohio State is the real deal and North carolina doesn’t have to take a back seat to anyone. Before it’s said and done these two teams could be playing for it all in March.

Now that I hope I have the attention of Ontgolf.ca readers, I am going to focus on writing a series of golf swing mechanic tips that revolve around creating more power and distance. Additionally, I hope to subliminally create a superior knowledge of proper swing mechanics for those reading that would only listen if it was about hitting it farther.
Is there any sport that people play that more power would not be an asset? There must be some, but none that actually interest me, and those with power and distance surely appear to be the most attractive to the boys having a few while watching the big screen at the 19th hole.
