7) Will Peyton Manning retire? (He has come back from injuries and defeats before, and he has adjusted to new teammates and new coaches, but you wonder if Manning can ignore the thought that his best chance to win a second Super Bowl has disappeared. You also wonder if he can ignore the $38 million left on his contract.)8) How are Denver fans reacting to the departure of Broncos head coach John Fox? (As the cliche goes, Fox and the teams general manager werent on the same page. In Denver, fans will be on the GMs page as long as the GM is John Elway.)9) If the Super Bowl matchup is New England vs. Seattle, the meeting of two great coach-quarterback combinations would be fascinating, and Belichick-Brady would rate an edge over Carroll-Wilson. Does that mean the Patriots would be favoured? (Not unless defence doesnt matter, and it does. The Seahawks edge without the football would be greater than the Patriots advantage when Brady has it.)10) Is Rex Ryan a good fit in Buffalo? (I think Ryan is capable of being a bad fit almost anywhere. Tumultuous times follow him, or are caused by him, and the Bills organization is so new and unsettled under owners Terry and Kim Pegula that its hard to say how Ryan will fit. But Bills fans are sure to like a volatile coach who can inspire an aggressive defence. They might really like him if the Bills can find him a quarterback.)11) What is the difference between the Toronto Maple Leafs under Peter Horachek and the Toronto Maple Leafs under Randy Carlyle? (My simplest of answers is this: Fresh air has been added and stale air has been removed and the Leafs are now working harder. However, the change is hardly dramatic until there are more wins than losses under Horachek.)12) Isnt it true that mid-season coaching changes usually dont make much of a difference, if any? (But then there are the exceptions, and when Darryl Sutter replaced Terry Murray as LA Kings coach on December 20, 2011 and wound up lifting the Stanley Cup on June 11, 2012, there was another reminder that dramatic change can occur.)13) Randy Carlyle became the fourth NHL coach fired in the first half of this season. Is that a record? (Not even close. The record was set in 2011-12, when seven coaches were let go by early January. Carlyle was a victim then, as well - released by the Anaheim Ducks.)14) Is it important to discuss the players who are going to the NHL All-Star game, or those who arent going? (No, and no.)15) Is there any other twist to the all-star idea of a game between two teams drafted by the players themselves? (Now that the NFL is doing the same with its Pro Bowl, maybe the football players could draft the hockey teams, and vice versa.)16) Is there an easy way to explain Bill Belichicks "substitution trickery" employed by New England against Baltimore? (Theres a way, but Im not sure how easy it is. Youll have to decide. On three plays in the third quarter, all of which produced pass completions, New England employed only four actual offensive linemen and had one of six other players report as another "ineligible receiver". The Ravens were so informed, but had to quickly forget about that back or receiver and scramble to cover each of the five guys who could catch a Tom Brady pass. I guess that wasnt easy... for them.)17) Who is the mid-season favourite to win the Calder Trophy as the NHLs top rookie? (The longer the season goes, and the more the Florida Panthers win, the less are the chances of anyone other than Aaron Ekblad. Filip Forsberg and Johnny Gaudreau would have to score a lot just to make it close.)18) Should the Hart Trophy go to the NHLs most valuable player, or to the NHLs best player? (Heres another try to drum up support for the latter, and maybe thats easier in the middle of a season that sees little or no MVP consensus. Not that there would be a slam-dunk winner the other way, but scoring leader (and not just because he happens to be that) Jake Voracek of the Philadelphia Flyers is the best player Ive seen.19) Can Ohio States Cardale Jones make it as a quarterback in the NFL? (Hell probably try, because the alternative might be to go from the guy who beat Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota in the College Football Playoff National Championship game to the Buckeyes third-stringer he was before Braxton Miller and then J.T. Barrett got hurt.)20) And finally, would you mind if I presented the song that is in my head ever since I watched Boyhood? (It was there before, but it would leave. Now, it wont.)

Today, well look at five frontcourt players today, here from the Bay Area. 1. AMIR JOHNSON (Raptors): I cant figure out what the issue or problem is, but based upon what Im seeing, hes not right.SAN ANTONIO -- Teams are finding out theres little they can do to stop Kevin Durant. Durant had 36 points to offset Tony Parkers season-high 37, and Oklahoma City survived a testy 111-105 victory over San Antonio on Wednesday night, their third win this season over the defending Western Conference champions. Durant is averaging 38.1 points in his last 11 games, helping the Thunder reclaim the Western Conferences record with a five-game winning streak and an 8-3 mark. "Kevin did his thing down the stretch, it was pretty remarkable," San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. Reggie Jackson gave Durant all the help he needed, matching his season high with 27 points while handing out eight assists. Durant and Jackson combined for 22 points on 9-for-15 shooting in a 35-point fourth quarter for Oklahoma City (33-10). Jackson had 11 consecutive points early in the fourth, blowing past Parker for layups to give the Thunder a 94-89 lead with 8 minutes left. "He has had great games against the Spurs," Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said. "I cant put my finger on it. We want him to play aggressive basketball on both ends of the floor. I thought he did a good job of finding spots on the floor that he can finish around the rim." Jackson averages 13.2 points, but has scored 23.7 points against the Spurs this season. Durant bounced up and down excitedly after his second 3-pointer of the quarter gave Oklahoma City a 108-98 lead with 1 minute remaining. "Durant hit some tough shots, he hit some big 3s down the stretch and it just got away from us," Spurs veteran Tim Duncan said. "I dont know how else to explain it." Duncan and Boris Diaw scored 14 points each, Marco Belinelli had 13 points and Manu Ginobili added 10 points. Duncan added 13 rebounds, but San Antonio (32-10) struggled to overcome the loss of their top defensive stopper, Kawhi Leonard. Durant finished 12 for 22, but struggled to get his shot off against the snug defence of the 6-foot-7 Leonard, who has a 7-4 wingspan. Leonard left the game late in the first half after sustaining a non-displaced fracture in his right hand. His status is unknown, but a similar injury is expected to sideline Danny Green for a month. "Its tough, were dropping like flies right now," Duncan said. "Losing Kawhi was huge, especially in a game like tonight." Durant scored 24 points after Leonard left the game with 3 minutes left in the first half. "I felt early in the game the pick-and-roll was working," Durant said. "I was able to go at the bigs a little bit and in the second half I missed some shots, too. They did a good job of just being physical. I think in the second half the defence was a little better." With Leonard out, the Spurs rotated Belinelli, Ginobili and 6-3 former Texas Longhorns teammate Cory Joseph on the 6-9 Durant. San Antonio even attempted a zone at one point to slow Durannt to no avail.dddddddddddd "(He guarded Durant) just one time in the zone -- he just shot over me," Parker said. "He is on fire right now anyways. He played great tonight. You just have to give them credit." The Spurs used a physical defence against Durant with Leonard out, especially when Ginobili drew the assignment. The tough play angered Durant, who twice lowered his shoulder and dropped Ginobili. Both plays resulted in non-calls, which incensed Popovich. The Spurs coach screamed at officials while Durant appeared to yell at Popovich. Popovich was assessed a technical foul, which Durant angrily sank with 1:12 to give Oklahoma City a 55-51 lead with 1:19 left in the first half. Durant dismissed the heated emotion just as quickly as he did any psychological boost the Thunder will get from beating the rival Spurs three times. "Im sure those guys arent worried that we beat them three times," Durant said. "Were just going to keep plugging away." San Antonio is 1-9 against the Wests remaining top-five teams and the Easts best, Indiana, but they have bigger problems now. After remaining relatively healthy in reaching the NBA finals last season, the Spurs have been plagued by a rash of injuries in the past month. Leonard joins starting centre Tiago Splitter and former starter Green on the injured list. Parker is also still has a bruised shin that limits his mobility and long-range shooting forward Matt Bonner has to wear a mask after breaking his nose Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. "(Losing Leonard) is a big loss for us," Parker said. "We are already down Tiago and Danny, but everyone goes through injuries and we have to deal with it. Other guys are going to have to step up, but we just have to keep playing." Parker had 20 points in the second half, including 12 in the fourth quarter. "Offensively, Tony was great, but he needed some help for a little while and we just did not get it to him," Duncan said. There were four lead changes and six ties in the third quarter, but Oklahoma City never trailed in the fourth. NOTES: Splitter (sprained right shoulder) and Green (broken left index finger) both missed the game. ... Oklahoma City is 10-4 in back-to-back games, including a 4-3 record on the second night. They have swept three back-to-backs this season. San Antonio has a 54-22 record at home over Oklahoma City. ... Bonner, the Spurs fun-loving forward, is playing along with the ribbing he is getting about the mask he must wear to protect the broken nose he sustained Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Duncan, who owns a vehicle customization shop, offered a custom-paint job for the clear mask and Parker joked that Bonner could "scare Durant" with it. Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News jokingly asked if the injury ends Bonners hopes of a modeling career once his NBA days are over. "I can still be a hand model," Bonner said.
