In case you missed them, here are some teachable moments from the past seven days:

▪ A league concerned about its image probably should not allow a team to call ‘Sin City’ its new home.

▪ Some team will win the National League West, but it may not be pretty.

▪ Technically speaking, Anderson Varejao and Gerald Henderson may not be friends.

▪ Sometimes a 5,000-to-1 shot is a pretty good shot.
