Federer's start to 2017 has been magic.

I wonder if he's got it in him to pull one more Wimbledon title out of the bag?

Meanwhile, the Warriors have won like 10 straight after the initial struggle with losing Durant. If KD gets back to even just 80 percent, and the Warriors avoid injuries to key players, I think they will win it all, and rather comfortably too in the end.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me. 20 wins out of 21, 3 titles, defeating Nadal twice... I wonder if the injuries might have prolonged his career in a weird way. He hasn't been this fit for years. He looks like he could keep going into his late thirties right now.

They're just wonderful to watch. Will be interesting to see if this time they can integrate Durant without hurting their new-found chemistry too much. Seems like a lot of their players are finding top form just at the right time.

It's looking like the playoffs are going to be much better this year. East actually has a couple of interesting teams in Boston, Washington and Toronto to compete with the Cavs and the West is as interesting as ever.

He's going to give himself a break till the French Open so he's definitely taking care of himself.

As the commentator said last night: 'Federer's made a career out of making good decisions.'

Not a problem for any of the teams in the west of course, but the Cavs look quite a bit weaker this season. Especially in the last month or so where they have been downright mediocre, and I don't think it is as easy as 'turning it on' for the playoffs. The way it looks right now, I wouldn't even be that surprised if the Cavs fail to reach the finals, and it looks is if the Western Conference Finals may turn out to be the toughest obstacle for any of the contenders in the west to overcome.

Oh, and Curry yesterday at home v the Wizards was absolutely sensational. He has been pretty sensational throughout this 11 game win streak to be honest, but the other night was special even for him. 🙂

They should thank Klay Thompson for signing this toaster! 😆

Wonderful to see Sergio finally win a major. I love that emotion. Golf is such an intensely personal battle with your own psyche so it's great to see a competitor finally conquer themselves as well as a tournament.

I'd have been equally happy for Justin Rose to win and it's cruel to lose in a play-off, particularly when you hit a poor tee shot and feel you've let your competitor win, rather than them having to pull out a special shot to win it. Still, Sergio held his nerve for his second shot into the green.

Really looking forward to The Open Championship in July at Royal Birkdale - I love links golf the best. I think it's the best test of golf you can find.

Great start to the NBA playoffs. Some cracking games already.

Warriors-Trail Blazers was a lot of fun.

est

Also, we're slowly becoming the NY Knicks of football.

Big team in a major city. A lot of fans, a lot of money. A couple of great players. Run by incompetent people. Laughing stock when it comes to actual performances.

The Warriors v Blazers game was fucking amazing tbh. Probably the best game I've seen all season, and for a start I've watched every Warriors regular season games. And then some. 🙂

Joshua v Klitschko was epic

invisibleman18

Yep was pretty awesome. Joshua looked gone for a couple of rounds when he got knocked down but somehow managed to hang in, then destroyed him in the 11th round when it was in the balance.

Jens

First great HW title fight of the 2000s? Great fight, great day for boxing. Joseph seems like a marketable champion.

Ray

Most entertaining since Tyson v Lewis.

goon

For once a fight worth paying for. Fair play to both, less of the inane trash talk, more action.

Jed

Incredible fight. Can't believe Klitschko stood up after that vicious uppercut. An absolute warrior.

Fair play to AJ as well. Gonna dominate the boxing scene for the next decade.

Bold Tone

Great fight but not sure he will dominate that long as his boxing skills are limited.

Wladimir was his equal in the physical department but, at 41yrs of age, over the hill.
edit:
I hope he continues to win as the Klitschko era was uncharismatic with nobody caring about the heavyweight division which is only class that interests non-boxing fans.
