The Taurus “The Bull” Sykes v Derek “The One-Man Riot” Bryant fight looked to be a potential stinker. The flabby, under-achieving Sykes against the unheralded Bryant.
Sykes fights a sloppy style, but against weak competition, he’s been able to mug, g…

I’m getting settled in to watch Taurus Sykes fight Derek Bryant (after an entertaining undercard), and looking forward to the Klitschko v Byrd fight tomorrow night, and then Samuel Peter v Julius Long on next week’s ESPN2’s Friday Night Fights.

Ah, now down to the nit and the grit. The Western Conference, in our view, has a No. 8 seed that could be a legitimate Finals candidate in the East, and oh how fun would it be to see Artest in Detroit in the playoffs. Deep all around, with even Kobe and the 11 guys from rec league scaring people, we can’t imagine missing a single game.

As one would probably expect from this season, the Eastern Conference NBA playoff matchups are less compelling than the Western Conference, and we’re not just saying that because we’re in Los Angeles right now. Personally, we’re kind of sad David Stern didn’t extend a sort of courtesy invite to the Knicks; it would have been fun to watch them combust for four more games. Larry Brown would have never survived.
Anyway, here’s a look at views from around the Web on the four Eastern Conference matchups.
Pistons vs. Bucks
• Bill Simmons: Pistons in five.
• Daily Quickie: Pistons in four.
• YAYSports!: Pistons in four
• J.E. Skeets: Pistons in four.
• Gilbert’s Arena: Pistons in four.
• Complete Sports: Pistons in five.
• Chris Sheridan: Pistons in four.
• Deadspin: Pistons in five.
Heat vs. Bulls
• Bill Simmons: Heat in six.
• Daily Quickie: Heat in five.
• YAYSports!: Heat in seven.
• J.E. Skeets: Heat in five.
• Gilbert’s Arena: Heat in five.
• Complete Sports: Heat in five.
• Chris Sheridan: Heat in five.
• Deadspin: Heat in six.
Nets vs. Pacers
• Bill Simmons: Nets in four.
• Daily Quickie: Nets in five.
• YAYSports!: Nets in four.
• J.E. Skeets: Nets in seven.
• Gilbert’s Arena: Nets in six.
• Complete Sports: Nets in seven.
• Chris Sheridan: Nets in seven.
• Deadspin: Pacers in six.
Cavaliers vs. Wizards
• Bill Simmons: Cavaliers in seven.
• Daily Quickie: Wizards in seven.
• YAYSports!: Cavaliers in seven.
• J.E. Skeets: Cavaliers in seven.
• Gilbert’s Arena: Wizards in six.
• Complete Sports: Cavaliers in seven.

First and foremost, the Rangers lost out on their bid to take first place in the Atlantic Division because of their post-clinching let-down. Injuries certainly played a role as well. But you cannot overlook another contributing factor — the decline…

In what is gleefully only the first of an eventual three sex boat trials — it’s like they’re structuring the legal system just to make us happy — a Minnesota jury convicted ex-Vikings fantasy football touchdown vulture Moe Williams with one count of disorderly conduct yesterday, sentencing him to … pay a $300 fine and do 30 hours of community service. (Not that we’re complaining, but, uh, they have full jury trials for things you pay $300 fines for? We think we got that much in parking tickets this week in LA. Not that we’re paying them, mind you. What, the cops are gonna track us down in our rental car? Come get some, coppers! Yeah, you heard us.)
Williams was acquitted of the misdemeanor charges of lewd and lascivious behavior and indecent conduct charges and blasted prosecutors for going after him simply because he’s black, pointing out that the white captain sucked a boob or two on the boat as well, and nobody’s charging him 300 bucks.
The trials of fellow Vikings Fred “Double Donger” Smoot and Bryant “Salad Bar” McKinnie have yet to begin, though they are facing the same charges as Williams was. Wait … shouldn’t Smoot be charged with two counts?
