It's actually pretty amazing the way that Hollinger does it.  He loves being the stats guru, but he uses it to twist completely around, looking only in his one chosen direction.  And that...

I had fun yesterday, I don't know about you guys.  Part of it is working off the bitterness of a frustrating defeat, just getting in some mental exercise covering the issues, trying to understand...

This is probably the best way to respond to the latest anti-Clipper stylings of David Thorpe.  Eric Gordon has three games left to position himself as the statistical leader for rookies in...

The trade of Tyson Chandler to OKC for Chris Wilcox and Joe Smith is pretty interesting.  It's seen as a salary dump, because Wilcox and Smith have expiring contracts.  And NO does clean up its...

Al Jefferson is out for the season with a torn ACL.  That's a bummer, and a big blow to the newly energized Wolves, who had been playing really well since McHale took over as coach. This news is...

The Clippers are a real beauty.  Their ability to meet the very highest expectations for disappointment (!) is truly extraordinary.  Given events--which seem to be moving very quickly at the...

Note:  I was sitting down to write a recap of the preseason, and then I noticed that Citizen Zhiv had done it for me.  So that's a little time-saver for me.  Well played, Zhiv.  See my comments...

Killaclip had a good breakdown of the basics of this game on the "Am I the only one who cares..." thread, but we might as well have a real post up for discussion. Yes, the game was on an internet...

As you know I'm half-following the Lamar Odom situation over in Lakerland.  Following it, as in, I hear the Loose Cannons talk about it on the radio for the 5 minutes I'm in my car, and read...

This is interesting.  I'm always amused by the little conflicts over at Lakertown, especially when they relate to things that we've seen with the Clippers, and given the fact that they're talked...

Not sure what's going on with media day and the opening of training camp and the new practice facility, although it's not exactly stealing headlines from either the Lakers or the financial collapse...

Man, it's quiet around here.  Probably just as well.  But I was catching up with a buddy last night, a Phoenix Suns fan, and he asked me to describe the general feeling about the Clippers.  The...

http://myespn.go.com/blogs/truehoop/0-34-63/Turmoil-to-Follow.html Not surprisingly, a number of pundits are expecting that the Clips will descend quickly into chaos and that things will get quite...

As I was reading Monsieur Perrin's excellent summer recap, I was impressed by the way that "Kaman 2.0" seems to fit seamlessly into established nomenclature.  It's an obvious fact around here, of...

Another lively topic seems to be the pace that the Clippers will play at next year, and how can they be most successful.  Lots of ways to go on this one. Baron Davis is going to lead the team...

I thought I would steal a few topics that seem interesting over on the ESPN board, just to give us something to talk about. Minutes allocation is a bit of a crapshoot, and the general numbers...

Bit of a stunner and disappointment.  Details will come in, but this must have been the reaction to Mo Evans walking away from their offer. Others can link up the details--I saw it over at the...

Just saw this recent comment from "Azubuikefan" on the CB "If we get Azubuike" thread.  Worth bumping and discussing: Ah.. but what you don't realize..... Azubuike opened last season as a...

Maybe we should cover Germany's games in the Olympics as a German easy reader, eh CS?  Our favorite giant Kraut put together another nice game going 5-7 from the field for 10 pts and 9 rebounds...

I haven't been following LRM on the Laker summer league team because, well, I'm not a Lakers fan.  I am, however, or at least I thought I was, a huge LRM fan, and unless I'm mistaken his situation...

I know this is MP's bailiwick (Saturday moren spelling, vocabulary, and etymology challenge), but while he basks in the glow of his radio appearance, there are a few "newsClips" (!) over at...

Welcome back, CS--while you're working on that Azu post, don't forget about NBA.com and the beauties of watching the summer league on the computer with no play-by-play.  Just remembered myself,...

Didn't realize there was a game tonight, but Marcus Williams apparently knew about it.  He came out of his summer hibernation, found himself in the starting lineup, and had 23 points and 10...

Germany and Greece are both 2-0 and in great shape to get 2 of the 3 spots available at the Athens qualifying tournament. Kaman went for 20/4 against New Zealand, and the game recap talks about...
