The Best In Sports In 7 Days

This past Saturday was one of the best sports days this year. I'll Have Another, the San Antonio Spurs, Chelsea in the Champions League Final and the Oklahoma City Thunder all had big comeback wins.

Thursday, May 24
NBA Playoffs (7-9:30 p.m. ESPN): The Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers meet in game six of their series that is currently tied at 2-2. Winner of game five from Tuesday will have a chance to advance.

Friday, May 25
Arena Football (7-10 p.m. NFL Network): The Jacksonville Sharks take on the Orlando Predators. Arena football is my way to get a football fix until college football and the NFL come back.

Saturday, May 26
MLB (3-6 p.m. Fox Sports South): National League East-leading Atlanta Braves host the second place Washington Nationals in the second game of a three-game series.

Normally, summer sports stink after the Stanley Cup Finals and NBA Finals, but this year we have the Olympics from London to look forward to. The opening ceremony is July 27.
