2014 NBA Playoffs first round schedule. Photo credit NBA  by Rodney Fisher All 82 games are in the books for the 2013-14 NBA season. Now 16 teams will begin the real season to crown a champion. Here is the full schedule:

UFC on Fox 11 by Lance Levan UFC on Fox 11 is being held in Orlando, Florida on Saturday, April 19 th .   The top three (3) fights on this card look to be very action-packed and could move people up in the rankings.   Unlike last week, I do not think that any of these fighters have anything to worry about from the standpoint of being cut from the UFC if they lose.   All six (6) of these fighters “bring the noise” every time they enter the octagon and it is never a dull moment to watch them fight.   I think that whoever wins the Werdum/Browne fight will be next in line for a title shot.
