TORONTO, ONTARIO -- The CFLs muddled playoff picture could clear up significantly this weekend. The B.C. Lions and Montreal Alouettes can cement top spot in the West and East Divisions, respectively, with outright victories. That would give both teams opening playoff byes and the right to host their conference finals Nov. 18. The conference champions will meet in the historic 100th Grey Cup on Nov. 25 at Rogers Centre in Toronto. The Toronto Argonauts and Calgary Stampeders could also both nail down second spot in their respective divisions, with a little help. That would essentially leave third in the East and West Division still up for grabs heading into the final two weeks of the 2012 campaign. B.C. heads into its home game Friday against Edmonton with a CFL-best 11-4 record, and the defending Grey Cup champion can cement first in the West for the second straight year with a win over the Eskimos. But the Eskimos (7-8) have plenty to play for. Theyre fourth in the tight West Division but just two points behind third-place Saskatchewan (8-7) and four points in back of second-place Calgary (9-6). An Edmonton victory would also solidify its crossover bid. In the CFL, if the fourth-place team in one division has a better record than the third-place finisher in the other conference, the fourth-place squad crosses over and assumes the third playoff seed in the rival division. Montreal (9-6) visits Saskatchewan on Saturday and would take first in the East Division with a victory. The Alouettes lead second-place Toronto (7-9) by four points and have cemented the season series. The Argos host Winnipeg on Friday night. A Blue Bombers victory would give Montreal top spot in the East for the fourth time in five seasons under head coach Marc Trestman and ninth time in 13 years overall. Trestman has guided Montreal to three Grey Cup appearances, winning consecutive titles in 2009 and 2010. A Toronto victory Saturday, combined with Calgary beating the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, would give the Argos second in the East and home-field advantage for the division semifinal Nov. 11. Calgary would need to beat Hamilton and have Montreal down Saskatchewan to secure second in the West Division. Hamilton is currently third in the East Division but only sports a 5-10 record and trails the Eskimos by four points, with both teams having three-regular season games remaining. The combination of a Hamilton win over Calgary and Montreal victory win over Saskatchewan would give B.C. first in the West even if it lost to Edmonton. That scenario would also keep the Ticats precarious playoff hopes alive heading into their final two regular-season games against Winnipeg and arch-rival Toronto. So while the Stampeders need help to overtake B.C. for first in the West, theyre in much better control of their own destiny in the battle for second. Calgary owns the tie-breaker against both Edmonton (3-0 head to head) and Saskatchewan (2-1). Saskatchewan certainly cant afford to finish tied with either Calgary or Edmonton, having lost the season series with both squads. However, should the Riders end up tied for first with B.C. and Calgary theyd get top spot in the West based on having the better winning percentage in games between the three clubs. In a three-way tie, the Riders would have a 3-1 head-to-head record against B.C. but just 1-2 against Calgary, leaving them 4-3 overall. B.C., with a 2-1 record against Calgary, would finish 3-4 while the Stampeders would end up 3-3 (2-1 versus Saskatchewan but 1-2 versus the Lions). The three-way tie-breaker, though, would only be used to determine first place. Second would go to B.C. because of a superior head-to-head record against Calgary. J.J. Putz Diamondbacks Jersey .

PHILADELPHIA -- The Portland Trail Blazers nearly shot their way into the NBA record book. LaMarcus Aldridge had 20 points and 16 rebounds, Nicolas Batum added 17 points and the Trail Blazers set a franchise record for 3-pointers with 21 in their 139-105 victory over the skidding Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. Damian Lillard scored 16 and Dorell Wright had 15 on 5-for-5 shooting from beyond the arc. Wesley Matthews added 14 points for the Northwest Division leaders, who won their third in a row and improved to 20-4. They became the second NBA team to reach 20 wins, joining the Indiana Pacers (20-3). "Everyone is taking shots with confidence," Wright said. "It doesnt surprise me when guys are making shots like that because we have a lot of great shooters." Mo Williams also had 14 points, Robin Lopez 12 and Thomas Robinson 10 for Portland, which put eight players in double figures and moved to 10-2 on the road. The Trail Blazers broke their club record for 3-pointers for the second time in eight days after hitting 17 against Utah on Dec. 6. In the process, they racked up 139 points, the most by any team in the league this season. The Los Angeles Clippers scored 137 against the Houston Rockets on Nov. 4. Portland fell two 3-pointers shy of the NBA mark for a game. "I know we made a lot of 3s and it was all in the flow of the game," Lillard said. "Guys made good plays to get guys looks and weve got good shooters." Tony Wroten led the reeling Sixers with 18 points and Hollis Thompson had 17. Spencer Hawes added 16, Thaddeus Young had 15 and James Anderson 14. Playing once again without rookie point guard Michael Carter-Williams, the Sixers have dropped six straight and 10 of the last 11 games. Carter-Williams sat out for the sixth consecutive game because of a skin iinfection on his right knee.dddddddddddd The Sixers are 1-9 without Carter-Williams, the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for October and November. "I want to leave it far behind -- really, really far behind," 76ers coach Brett Brown said of the loss. Portland broke open a close game with some stellar shooting, especially from beyond the arc. The Trail Blazers hit 11 of their first 20 tries from 3-point range and were 18 for 32 by the end of the third quarter for a 111-79 lead. Wright hit No. 18 to break the team record as the third-quarter buzzer sounded. "This is one of those games where they were making all their shots and all we can do sometimes is throw our hands up," Young said. "Its like, What else is there to do?" It was the latest record-setting performance for the streaking Blazers. In their previous game two nights ago, a 111-104 victory over Houston, Aldridge posted the first 30-point, 25-rebound game in franchise history. This time, the Trail Blazers didnt need nearly as much from Aldridge with such a balanced effort up and down the lineup. "Weve got good shooters," coach Terry Stotts said. "They have a track record of being good shooters." The Sixers never posed a serious threat in the fourth. The Blazers led by as many as seven points in the first half and wound up with a 71-64 advantage heading into the locker room. NOTES: Wroten was whistled for a technical foul with 8:36 remaining in the third quarter. ... The 71 points allowed in the first marked the most given up by the Sixers in any half this season. ... Aldridge had a double-double for the fifth time in the last six games. ... Sixers C Daniel Orton and Trail Blazers C Meyers Leonard got tangled up on the floor and both were ejected with 7:19 left. ... Former Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook attended the game. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' ' |
