Cnotes Best Bets For Sunday May 10th - MLB - NBA -NHL !

[CNOTES]

Preview: Athletics (12-19) at Mariners (12-17)
Game: 3
Venue: Safeco Field
Date: May 10, 2015 4:10 PM EDT

The only time Felix Hernandez didn't win a start this year came against the Oakland Athletics, and avoiding that fate again will make him the first starter to go 6-0 for the Seattle Mariners in 14 years.


Hernandez looks to become the AL's first six-game winner and help the Mariners complete a sweep of the A's on Sunday.


Hernandez (5-0, 1.73 ERA) is off to the best start of his career, but his worst performance came in an 8-7, 10-inning win at Oakland on April 12. The right-hander allowed three runs and eight hits in a season-low five innings.


The 2010 AL Cy Young winner has won four starts since behind a 1.21 ERA with 33 strikeouts in 29 2-3 innings, putting him on the verge of becoming the first Mariner to go 6-0 since 2001 when Aaron Sele went 8-0 and Freddy Garcia won his first six decisions.


Hernandez struck out eight and allowed one run in seven innings of a 3-2 road win over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday, ending Seattle's season high-tying four-game slide.


"That's a true No. 1," manager Lloyd McClendon told MLB's official website. "That's what they're built for. That's what they're made for. And he certainly did a heckuva job for us."


That's certainly been true at Safeco Field, where Hernandez has won all three starts with a 0.78 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 23 innings. The five-time All-Star is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA in his last three home starts against the A's, completing at least seven innings in each.


Hernandez needs five strikeouts to reach 2,000. At age 29 and 32 days, he would be the fourth youngest pitcher in history to reach that milestone.


The Mariners (13-17) have an opportunity to record their first home sweep and match their longest win streak of the season. They opened this series with a 4-3, 11-inning win over Oakland (12-20) on Friday before cruising to a 7-2 victory Saturday.


Robinson Cano has four hits in this series after collecting three Saturday, giving him a .357 average at home compared to .209 on the road. He has a similar trend against the A's, batting .405 with three homers and 11 RBIs in 11 meetings at Safeco while batting .212 with two RBIs in 13 at Oakland.


The venue hasn't mattered much with Nelson Cruz, who leads the majors with 14 homers and tops the Mariners with a .347 average. He's 13 for 31 (.419) with four home runs in eight games, going 4 for 7 with an RBI double in two versus the A's.


Oakland's most recent win came with Jesse Chavez (1-2, 1.80) on the mound and he'll try to put a stop to the team's four-game skid.


The right-hander is 1-2 with a 2.45 ERA in three starts since being moved into the rotation, but he hasn't won back-to-back starts since last May.


Chavez was superb Tuesday, striking out seven and yielding one unearned run and four hits in 7 1-3 innings of a 2-1 win at Minnesota.


"Just me being in the moment, fiery," Chavez said. "Just wanted it. That was the only thing. I was just in the moment and wanted to compete. I just wanted to win."


Chavez owns a 2.48 ERA In 12 career games against the Mariners, but he's 0-2 with a 4.15 ERA in three starts.


He's struggled against Seattle's top hitters, with Cano going 5 for 11 and Cruz 3 for 5 with a pair of homers and a double.

No giddiness from Doc Rivers, son Austin


May 9, 2015


LOS ANGELES (AP) - Doc Rivers spares no one on the Clippers, including son Austin. So when the young guard had the biggest game of his young career, it might have been heartwarming to everyone else, but it was just business to the only coach-father and son duo in NBA history.


Austin Rivers scored 15 of his 25 points in the third quarter Friday night, helping the Los Angeles Clippers blow out the Houston Rockets 124-99 and take a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinals.


''I'm a dad and you enjoy it for a moment,'' the elder Rivers said Saturday.


But that moment was fleeting for a coach trying to push the Clippers to an NBA championship, something that once seemed out of reach for a franchise that was long considered to be the laughingstock of the league.


''This is about our team,'' Doc Rivers said. ''This is not a family moment.''


If he sounds harsh, it's because he is. Rivers subjects his son to the same withering criticism he doles out to superstars Blake Griffin and Chris Paul.


''It's got to be an odd dynamic to be coach, dad, son, all that,'' Paul said. ''Doc is real hard on him.''


It's been that way since Austin was a 5-year-old playing checkers with his dad, who refused to let him win. Now 22, he's three years out of Duke and trying to make a name in the same league where his old man starred as a player before becoming a coach and guiding the Celtics to the 2008 NBA championship.


''He has had the spotlight on him since he was a kid,'' DeAndre Jordan said. ''I am pretty sure it's tough, but when Austin steps between the lines, he's a basketball player. It doesn't matter what the relationship is.''


Austin arrived in January, having been traded by New Orleans to the Celtics, who immediately dealt him to the Clippers. Questions of nepotism arose, with the younger Rivers assuring everyone that his dad would never play him over someone else because of family ties.


''He wanted me to come over here because he thought I could help and I wanted to come here because I felt like I could help,'' Austin said.


The third of four sports-playing children, Austin has reached the highest level among his siblings. Older brother Jeremiah played basketball in college and the D-League; sister Callie played volleyball at Florida; and youngest brother Spencer plays basketball at UC Irvine. The siblings were on hand Friday night as they often are at Staples Center.


Rivers took over in the third quarter, sparking a decisive 20-3 run that put the game away. His offense came the way his dad likes it, through defensive stops and then attacking the basket at full speed. Rivers shot 75 percent in the quarter, connecting on 6 of 8 shots as fans chanted his name and gave him a standing ovation when he came out to get some rest early in the fourth.


''I just really put a lot of work in, more than I ever have in my life, and I just came into this season with a lot of confidence through my hard work,'' he said.


Father and son had already moved on a day later, getting ready to face Houston in Game 4 on Sunday. They share a similar philosophy of never getting too high or too low, knowing the next bad game could be right around the corner.


''I know it sounds stark,'' Doc said, ''but that's really where I am mentally with all this because I think you have to be.''

Paul set to play for Clips in Game 4


May 9, 2015


LOS ANGELES (AP) - Chris Paul's hamstring injury is showing improvement and he will start for the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 4 against the Houston Rockets.


Coach Doc Rivers says Paul might play a few more minutes Sunday because he was feeling better a day after the Clippers won 124-99 to take a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinals.


Paul had 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting and seven assists in 23 minutes Friday. He missed 4 of 6 3-pointers and never got fouled.


The Clippers plan to continue monitoring Paul closely because Rivers says he doesn't think hamstring injuries completely heal until the offseason.


Paul says the injury is a tricky one but he knows how to manage it.

Bulls' Gasol questionable for Game 4


May 9, 2015


CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago Bulls forward Pau Gasol is questionable for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Cleveland Cavaliers because of a strained left hamstring.


Gasol left Friday night's game, and an MRI showed no major structural damage, although coach Tom Thibodeau said he was ''not sure'' how severe the strain is. He also said ''we'll see how he feels'' when asked if the five-time All-Star will play Sunday.


Thibodeau would not say who would start if Gasol is unavailable, although Taj Gibson would be a likely candidate. Nikola Mirotic could get more playing time, too.


Gasol was seen in practice gear Saturday but did not address the media. The Bulls lead the series 2-1 after Derrick Rose banked in a 3-pointer at the buzzer on Friday.


''It's our leader,'' Mirotic said. ''Hopefully, let's see if he can play (Sunday). But we need to be ready maybe to play with a small (lineup).''


The Bulls lead the series 2-1 after Derrick Rose banked in a 3-pointer at the buzzer for a 99-96 victory Friday. They have a chance to take a commanding lead with Game 4 at home. But it won't be easy, particularly if they are missing Gasol.


A two-time champion with the Los Angeles Lakers, he averaged 18.5 points and 11.8 rebounds after signing with the Bulls in the offseason. At 34, he led the NBA with a career-high 54 double-doubles.


The Bulls fought through a long list of injuries to finish the regular season with 50 wins. But Gasol mostly stayed healthy, playing in 78 games.


Gibson, who made 17 starts, said his approach won't change much if he's in the lineup.


''My energy is going to be the same no matter what, be ready to go out there and play however many minutes I play,'' he said. ''Go out there, go hard, and understand that every game is intense. You have to bring it.''

 

[CNOTES]

Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

-- Wizards 103, Hawks 101-- Washington was up 19 after third quarter, but needed a banked-in 3-pointer by Pierce for the win.

-- Grizzlies 99, Warriors 89-- Golden State had 39 points at the half in each of last two games; they're in trouble in this series.

-- Lower seeds lead all four NBA series 2-1, first time that has ever happened at this stage of the second round.

-- Canadiens 2, Lightning 1-- Montreal stays alive, forces Game 6 in Tampa.

-- Pirates 7, Cardianls 5-- St Louis lined into a triple play; think it is the first triple play I've seen on live TV.

-- Nationals 8, Braves 6-- Bryce Harper has six homers in his last three games.

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday......

13) Really nice scene in San Francisco Thursday, with Marlins 1B Michael Morse getting his World Series ring from last year. All the Giants came to home plate and applauded as he got the ring before the game-- very cool.

12) Jon Lester actually takes up two roster spots for the Cubs; his own and one for David Ross, his personal catcher. Cubs carry three catchers, which is really unusual-- its little frustrating having Miguel Montero on my fantasy team- he doesn't play against lefties or when Lester pitches.

11) Golden State scored less than 40 points in the first half once during the regular season; they had 39 in first half of last two games with Memphis.

10) Dodgers' payroll for this year is listed at $271,608,629, highest in history of baseball; that said, their starting outfield Saturday was going to be this trio of obscure players: Scott Van Slyke-Chris Heisey-Keke Hernandez, Hitting fourth was going to be Justin Turner. $271M doesn't go that far these days.

9) Dodgers got rained out in Denver, Rockies third rainout this week- they had a 4th game shortened to five innings. It snowed in Denver last night, so they probably won't play today either. Weather in Colorado is highly erratic.

8) Broncos' 3rd-round pick Jeff Heuerman, a tight end from Ohio State, tore his ACL and is done for the year, the second NFL draft pick this week to blow his knee out and end his rookie season before it ever started.

7) Red Sox are 1-7 in May, having led for only seven of 72 innings; they're 8-2 when they score first, 5-15 when they do not. Their payroll is $184,345,996-- Captain Obvious called in to say they're underperforming.

6) It is neat when NBA players sponsor AAU teams; remember seeing Austin Rivers play in Florida when he was in 9th grade, playing for Team Stat, a team sponsored by Amare Stoudamire. Magic's Elfrid Payton was watching a team he sponsors this weekend- thats putting their salaries to good use.

5) There was an 18-year old kid driving in the NASCAR race last night; how is that possible, that an 18-year old drives well enough to compete with the world's greatest? I didn't even get my drivers' license until I was 19.

4) Back when the Milwaukee Brewers played outdoors at County Stadium, when they hit a homer, mascot Bernie Brewer slid down a ramp into a huge beer mug-- now that they play in Miller Park, they lost the beer mug and he just slides onto a flat landing and waves. Miller is a beer company; how can they not have the mug inside a ballpark sponsored by a beer company?

3) Cleveland Cavaliers cancelled practiced Saturday and had a team yoga session instead- seriously, they did. Its something Phil Jackson used to do when he was coaching- gets the players off their feet for a day.

2) Former sportswriter Bill Scheft is now a writer for David Letterman; he is chronicling the last days of the Letterman show in a Tumbler diary that can be found here. If you've enjoyed Letterman's career, you will enjoy this. His last show on CBS is May 20th, a week from Wednesday.

1) Mike Conley drew a charge in Saturday night's game; he is playing with a broken face, which cannot be said often enough. He is a tough human.

Pirates LF Marte leaves with dizziness

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Pirates left fielder Starling Marte left because of severe dizziness at the end of the third inning Saturday night in the Pirates' game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Marte struck out in both at-bats against right-hander Carlos Martinez.

Utility player Sean Rodriguez took over in left field.

The Cardinals were without third baseman Matt Carpenter, who is missing the three-game series with what the team is calling "extreme fatigue."

The Baltimore Orioles will send Bud Norris to the mound Sunday, the pitcher who has led the O's to five straight victories over the New York Yankees.

The Bronx Bombers have been shutdown by the rightie as they have only registered an average of 4.5 hits and two runs in each of their past five against Norris.

Sunday, May 10

Cavaliers got 14 points off bench from JR Smith (4-8 from arc) but team shot 31% for game inside arc and trails series 2-1. Bulls blocked 10 shots Friday; they're 3-4 vs Cavs this year-- Chicago won four of last five series games played here. Bulls won 10 of last 13 games overall with five of last eight staying under total; Chicago made 10-18 from arc in Game 1, only 13-41 in last two games- they scored 20 transition points last game, after having total of 14 in Games 1-2. Mirotic was +19 in 22:00 off the bench for Chicago in Game 3.

Chris Paul (hamstring) played 23:00 in Friday's rout of Houston; they've now won eight of last 11 games against Rockets, who were 18-31 on foul line after going 42-64 in Game 2. Houston lost four of last five road tilts in series. Six of last seven Clipper games went over the total. Rockets are just 27-92 on arc in series-- how do they let JJ Redick score 31 points in a playoff game against them (11-15 from floor)? Gut-check time for the Rockets, whose FG% in series has gone from 45.2 to 42.5 to 39.8-- this is where team chemistry will be tested- they've gathered talented guys who might not all be the best team guys.

Game of the Day: NBA Sunday playoff matchups
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cleveland Cavaliers at Chicago Bulls (+1.5, 194.5)
Bulls lead series 2-1

The Derrick Rose that makes clutch shots has returned and now the Chicago Bulls are in position to open up a 3-1 lead when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers in Sunday’s Eastern Conference semifinal matchup. Rose banked in the decisive 3-pointer at the buzzer in Game 3 to give Chicago a dramatic 99-96 victory and the emotional edge in the series.

Rose has been up-and-down performer in this series but Friday’s 30-point effort included the big-time play he used to make prior to his injury woes. “I don’t want to sound cocky,” Rose told reporters. “But that’s a shot you want to take if you are a player in my position. … And no, I did not call glass.” Cleveland forward LeBron James insisted his team will bounce back and not let the adversity alter the approach for Game 4. “I already know how we’re going to respond, the same way we did in Game 2,” James told reporters in reference to the Cavaliers’ lone win in the series. “Whether or not that results in a win, we don’t know but I don’t have any doubt of how we will play on Sunday. We’re going to give ourselves a chance.”

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

LINE HISTORY: CHI opened at -1, but were bet over the fence to +1.5 by Saturday evening. The total of 194.5 has not shifted since opening.

INJURY REPORT: Cavaliers - N/A Bulls - F Pau Gasol (Ques-Hamstring)

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS: Point guard Kyrie Irving suffered through a miserable 3-of-13 shooting performance in Game 3 with 11 points and zero assists. Coach David Blatt revealed afterward that Irving has a sore right foot that is hampering his play but James doesn’t want any part of excuse-making. “No one feels sorry for Kyrie because he’s hurting,” James told reporters. “We’re not going to make any excuses. He’s on the floor so he has to make plays. Obviously, from a competitive standpoint, it’s killing him inside because I know what type of competitor he is and I know what type of teammate he is.”

ABOUT THE BULLS: Power forward Pau Gasol departed Game 3 with a left hamstring injury and is questionable for Sunday’s game after experiencing issues in each of the last two games. “A couple minutes into the game, it started tightening up again,” Gasol told reporters. “I just tried to play through it as much as I could, but in the second half and third quarter it got worse so I couldn’t sprint.” Backup Taj Gibson, whose screen necessitated a defensive switch that allowed Rose to get in position to make the game-winning shot, will move into the starting lineup if Gasol is ruled out.

TRENDS:

*Cavaliers are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Chicago.
*Bulls are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
*Under is 34-16-1 in Cavaliers last 51 games playing on 1 days rest.
*Under is 15-6 in Bulls last 21 vs. NBA Central.



Houston Rockets at Los Angeles Clippers (-7.5, 217.5)
Clippers lead series 2-1

A blowout win has put Los Angeles in the driver’s seat but the Clippers need another victory to stay there when they host the Houston Rockets in Sunday’s Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals. Los Angeles took a 2-1 lead when it broke the game open in the third quarter and rolled to a 124-99 victory over the Rockets on Friday.

Point guard Chris Paul’s hamstring ailment is improving and he’s expected to be in position to increase his minutes on Sunday after contributing 12 points and seven assists in 23 minutes in Game 3. Backup Austin Rivers stole the show for the Clippers by scoring a personal playoff-best 25 points with 16 coming in the pivotal third quarter. Houston’s two losses in the series have been by an average of 20.5 points and center Dwight Howard – averaging 20 points and 13.3 rebounds in the series – hinted that he needs to see more of the basketball. “We have to do a better job of attacking the basket,” Howard told reporters. “When you shoot all 3s, it’s just easy run-outs for them. There is no easy opportunity to crash the boards and it just puts us in a bad position.”

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, TNT

LINE HISTORY: LAC opened at -7.5 and has remained there since. The total has jumped half a point from 217 to 217.5.

INJURY REPORT: Rockets - G K.J. McDaniles (Out-Wrist) Clippers - N/A

ABOUT THE ROCKETS: Star guard James Harden attempted 15 free throws in Houston’s win and averaged just 5.5 attempts in the two defeats and is averaging 25.7 points and 10 assists in the series. “I think I could have been a little bit more aggressive,” Harden told reporters about his inability to take over in the two losses. “Just too passive. Just too passive.” Harden could use some help from backup forward Josh Smith, who has been highly unproductive in the series and is averaging eight points on 9-of-31 shooting.

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS: The much-maligned Rivers took over Game 3 and scored 15 of his points during the 20-3 burst that broke open the contest. Part of the criticism hurled his way stems from the fact that his father Doc coaches the club and Paul was encouraging dad to enjoy his son’s impressive splurge. “Even when C.P. said that, it was like white noise to me,” Doc Rivers told reporters. “He was just very aggressive and that’s what we’ve been telling him to do. The scoring and all that was great, we love it but the big picture was we allowed C.P. to get back in this series, feel comfortable and not overextend himself.”

TRENDS:

*Rockets are 2-9 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
*Clippers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games.
*Over is 5-0 in Rockets last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
*Under is 20-8 in the last 28 meetings in Los Angeles.

Sunday, May 10


Chris Paul to start Game 4 for Clippers

Chris Paul is expected to get the start for the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 4 Sunday. Paul played in Game 3, but had a minutes restriction while backup point guard Austin Rivers played well enough, which gave the All-Star point guard a chance to rest.

Paul is averaging 21.4 points, 7.8 assists and 4.4 rebounds in his eight games during the playoffs this season. The Clippers have played better with Paul despite still winning, as they have averaged nearly 21 more points per 100 possessions with Paul on the floor.

LA is currently -7.5 when they host the Rockets Sunday.


Bulls' Gasol questionable for Game 4

Chicago Bulls forward Pau Gasol has a strained left hamstring, and his status for Sunday's Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers is uncertain, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Saturday.

Thibodeau said an MRI revealed the strained hamstring, and that Gasol is still sore.

"(He's) day to day," Thibodeau said. "He didn't do anything today. We just did some walkthrough stuff. We'll see how he feels (Sunday)."

Gasol said after Game 3 that he initially hurt the hamstring in Game 2 and tried to play through the injury. However, he was unable to complete Game 3 on Friday, leaving the contest in the second half after scoring six points in 22 minutes.

The Bulls lead the series 2-1, but may have to play a pivotal Game 4 in Chicago without Gasol.

Gasol averaged 18.5 points and 11.8 rebounds during the regular season, and is averaging 15.1 points and 9.9 rebounds through nine playoff games.


All three games in Rockets-Clippers went over

Despite ever escalating closing totals, the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers continue to go over in each of their games during their playoff series.

The average total for the series so far has been 214, with the two teams combining for an average of 221 points per game.

Currently, the total for Game 4 Sunday is 217.5.
