We've a fun-filled weekend of sport kicking off this weekend, the only problem is we'll be passed Mid-Summer's Eve before two of them finish and even the Snooker, right on cue, breaking off at the Crucible again on Saturday rattles its balls against the pockets until Spring Bank Holiday Monday.

The NBA play-offs start on Saturday though they've still got two games tonight to decide the final qualifiers. If you haven't picked one of these (AmChaff?) then pick another early on Saturday.

The quest for Lord Stanley's Shaving Mug also starts this weekend on what should be rapidly melting ice, but fortunately they play 'em all indoors. Again, if you've picked someone not in these lists (AmChaff again?) then pick another early Saturday.

... and then there's Town.

I don't understand it.

I don't understand it.

Me neither.

The two sides you picked AmChaff aren't in the play-off's in either sport, unless I missed something, so I'm suggesting, as you still have time before tomorrow evening's tip-offs and face-offs that you might want to pick a team in either or both competitions that is.

In the case of the NBA it's teams in the middle two columns, in the case of the NHL it's the list of teams at each end.

I've provided a link to each sport's play-off website to help you work out who is who. Alternatively pick one of the teams the rest of us have picked.
