10 Awesome Things That Happened This Weekend (5/16-5/18)

10. Serge Ibaka Definitely Out Against Spurs, Likely Done For the Season  
            Ibaka’s loss is kind of a bummer, but the Thunder might be able to get by with the development of Steven Adams.
 
9. Ed Carpenter Claims Second Straight Indy 500 Pole
            We’ll say this about Ed Carpenter (mostly, because we don’t have anything else to say about him)…he’s got this qualifying thing figured out.

8. Sam Hornish Earns Well Deserved Nationwide Victory at Iowa
            With young bucks like Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson all the rage, opportunities for 34-year old Sam Hornish are getting harder and harder to come by. In only his second race of the season subbing for Kyle Busch in the #54 Monster Toyota, Hornish dominated the field.

7. Kevin Love Intends to Hit Free Agency
            We’re saving conversation about this topic for a column I’d like to write later in the week, but probably won’t.

6. Los Angeles Destroys Anaheim, Advances to Western Conference Finals
            Sadly, future Hall of Famer Teemu Selanne’s last game was spent getting thrashed 6-2.

5. Rangers Pummel Montreal 7-2
            With news that Carey Price won’ return for the rest of this series, we’d like to take a rain check on our “Montreal in 6” prediction.

4. Blackhawks Take Game 1 of Western Conference Finals Over Los Angeles
            Corey Crawford might be the most underrated goalie in THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE.
         
3. Jamie McMurray Earns Popular All-Star Race Victory
            For whatever reason, McMurray is on the short list of drivers that if he wins, every other competitor is happy for him. His battle to take the lead with Carl Edwards in the final segment was one of the most memorable moments of the season so far.
         
2. California Chrome One Win Away From Triple Crown
            In even better news, New York officials will allow C.C. to wear his nasal strip, which he has worn every race during his current winning streak.

1. Pacers Look Competent, Defeat Miami in Game 1
            I’d get more excited about this, but Miami has lost every single road Game 1 they’ve played in the Lebron Era. Don’t be shocked at all if they win by 25 points tomorrow night.
