When the Sheridan Hoops Freeroll passed 700 entries on Friday morning, there was no question about a new record. By mid-afternoon there were 950 teams, and a late flurry pushed the final number to 1,068. “PrincessDuckling” overcame those 1,067-1 odds to win the $100 first prize, edging “edwind3” (who won 60 bucks) by just three-quarters of a point. Congratulations! [Read more…]

Once again, Stephen Curry (31 PTS, 7 AST, 3 REB, 4 STL) exceeded all expectations. If he isn’t named an All-Star, it’s a traveshamockery. David Lee (22 PTS, 12 REB) showed no sign of his ankle injury, Klay Thompson added 19 points and the two-man bench of Jarrett Jack (9 PTS, 8 AST, 3 REB) and Carl Landry (20 PTS, 7 REB) helped the Warriors beat another top team.
