Yup, i was just watching the little scuffle that happened b/w Blakey and LO. No love lost, lol.

Should be fun...either way, LA wins.

Not surprised? Nobody has shot that poorly since 1991. Fine you can think he's overrated but judging a guy by this obvious fluke of a game is a poor basis. On the flipside it's like thinking a scrub is great because he shot in one game 17-18 and then say he's underrated when he averaged 5 pts a game in his 5 year career.
My judgement wasn't just from last nights game I seriously think Bosh is overrated period. Miami has 2 great players and Bosh is just good not great and he doesn't seem like he has the potential of getting any better than he already is unlike Wade & Lebron.

As a clipper fan you should have a bad feeling most nights regardless who they play. Don't get me wrong I love the Blake highlights but in the long run if your going to lose most of your games that gets kinda old.

Mo and Moon can't play until Baron passes his physical which might take several days.

Anyway you should have a bad feeling because the Lakers have their games faces on now and are ready to finish the season strong.

That's kind of sad if the Kings move but the Maloofs gave Sacramento many opportunities to come up with solutions to a new arena.

Oh I know, we dont blame them. Its just tough, Anaheim being the talk of the new destination, I wonder if Lakers and Clipps can spare any fans.

The thing with SoCal is that most of us will be Lakers fans, but none of us ever feel bad about going to a clipper game. But ya, even if the Kings were 'rivals' earlier in the decade, I still think they should stay in Sacto...I know too many Sacto fans and NorCal friends that would be disappointed.

Its good for me though, I'm about 15 minutes from the Honda Center. I'd welcome the Kings, but wonder if they'll change their name...Los Angeles Kings of Anaheim may be confusing...

Yeah, I feel like the So Cal teams already have their loyal fans.

Who knows what will happen, but at this point all of us here are just trying to show as much support as possible to show maloofs we dnt want this to happen.

Its all anyone talks bout here nowadays.

yeah, it's hard to share spot light in a town with the Lakers. I think the Clippers would be better off somewhere else.

they are hoping baron will pass tomorrow and mo and moon will be available for the celts game, but i'm skeptical. I'm even concerned that Baron will fail his physical and they'll reneg on the trade entirely . It's kinda sad to see baron go, but I guess in the long term, it really shows that the franchise is in the hands of Griffin and Gordon.

Even if mo and moon can play, it's going to be a tough game. At least it'll be the first time they get to wear their white uniforms in like almost a month... Let's just say I can't wait to get the clips leading scorer back, hopefully in the next few games.

i'd be really really sad if the clips left LA. There's definitely something that draws me in about being the city's "ugly sibling". If they were somewhere else (at least further away than lets say... san diego), they'd just be another bad team in a small market.

Mo is coming off of an injury and even when Baron passes its highly unlikely that they will play right away. I was at some events All Star weekend and I actually met Baron Davis and I have to say he looks more stocky on TV than in person.
Baron is a good guy but he just never played as well with the Clippers than he did with the Hornets or Warriors.

^ That was a ridiculous shot. He lives up to his nickname for sure. LeBron had a good look at the end so I'm okay with the shot. He usually makes the right decision with whether to pass or shoot. It was a good game. Surprised to see the Knicks (and Melo!!) play a little defense.

IMO, all the hoopla about getting Melo has downplayed the acquisition of Billups. Knicks will probably end up getting Williams or Paul next year. Billups will obviously be dumped, but he still has 2-3 more solid years. He's one of the smartest PG's in the league and this was a huge upgrade from Felton IMO.

Personally, I don't think the Knicks style of play is going to be sustainable in the playoffs. This is why D'Antoni has never won a championship IMO.

But I think having Chauncey Billups provides intangibles and lots of steadiness at the 1. It'll look alot different than the Steve Nash SSOL offense.

If Melo takes the max then getting Paul or Williams is unlikely as they'd have to take a significant pay cut to even acquire other players. Plus this is under the assumption there are no dramatic changes from the CBA that expires this year.

I have a really, really good feeling that the Thunder will be a favorite to at least get to the West finals this year, if not next year with Perkins in the middle.

Melo signed the 65 million extension that was a stipulation for the trade to go thru so his contract is settled for now.

no, stupidly the heat was trying to stick a dagger into the knicks when they were up. Their cockiness led to their loss.

So, you're saying, the LeHeat's need to showboat is more important than an actual victory and playing the game the right way...?


Nice. No wonder they lost to the "inferior and MVP lacking" Bulls.
