Oprah owning the Clippers? Nuttiest NBA playoffs ever? Red Sox hottest AL East team?

I can't decide what to write about today:

1)  ESPN is reporting that Oprah Winfrey is considering buying the LA Clippers.

Talk about free agent recruiting...if Oprah owned Clips, she could greet anyone who came for a visit w/ "you get a car! And you get a car!"

Not to mention Oprah's mind control powers might come in handy as well.

2)  This has been, without a doubt, the most amazing/ridiculous/unpredictable NBA playoffs ever, and we're still in the first round...

• East #1 seed Pacers are about to be eliminated by a sub-.500 team.
• West #1 seed Spurs are one missed layup away from potentially being down 3-1.
• West #2 seed Thunder trail 3-2, and have played 4 consecutive overtime games (a playoff record).
• There have already been 8 OT games so far, the record for one postseason is 10.
• After winning 58% of the time in the regular season, home teams are 15-21 in the playoffs.
• The Pacers ineptitude means the Wizards, 44-38 in the regular season and fresh of their upset of #4 seed Chicago, will likely play in the Eastern Conference Finals. 

19 of the 36 first-round NBA playoff games have been decided by 2 possessions or less

3)  It may sound hard to believe, but the Red Sox are in fact playing better baseball than everyone else in their division at the moment:
