Its definitely time to change the med staff.... They just need to pony up and spend the money for high end med staff. They could just go down the freaking street to Kerlan-Jobe and pick up some ppl.
Good Call !!!!!!
Easy with the caps there, Champ.
2) Use good grammar/spelling and don't use ALL-CAPS (it makes it "sound" like you're yelling).
http://clippers.topbuzz.com/PNphpBB2-vi ... -1593.html
we've alredy got a highly qualified staff. the top of the line facilities are proof that money isnt the issue. its bad luck.
thers 2 many rules on this clipper topbuzz... dame nazis!!
oww and
Tony Daly was as good as Jobe Kerlan. FOr freak injuries we used the best around.
Kaman syepped on a cameraman's foot.
Ruptured Achilles tendons have a genetic component. Look at his injury record
Shaun's problem is his body type. Nobody has ever seen an injury like that.
Baron was pretty healthy
A lot of guys were "injured" to take a vacation from losing
Corey was always injures. It's the way he plays
Blakes injury was a weird one. I hope it's not a crippling connective tissue disorder
These aren't the medical Staffs fauly
http://clippers.topbuzz.com/PNphpBB2-vi ... -1593.html
Pffffffft....Then you haven't exposed yourself to many message boards. This is one of the most lenient boards around.
NO board lets you use caps...Fact. That has to do with proper board etiquette.
By the way, it's damn Nazies, Not dame nazis.
Yeah, Ralph Lawler said that our team physician was one of the best in the league. Of course, Ralph is the eternal optimist

if you buy a used car that has a history of breaking down (or one you're using as an out of control rally car), dont blame the mechanic.
Guaranteed if this team had winning seasons but still had all these injuries the talk about the medical staff would not even be a topic..
Does a doctor need to be replaced if a patient keeps coming back with sore throats?
all the input is great here, but it does seem a little more than coincidence that, among others, jason powell has been around a long time. i don't know if he is still on staff, but it sure would be interesting to see how many in med staff have been here as long as andy r. and elgin b. was. sometimes change is good, sometimes not. but if you keep the same med staff year after year, and still have some "preventitive" injuries occuring, maybe the med staff needs a hard look at. and yes, i would change my doctor if he couldn't get a grip on my sore throat problem, if the doc couldn't fix that, why should i still keep coming back? all i am saying is it should be checked out at the least. as for the caps, i have nueropathy in my fingers, so that's why i don't use the shift key, that and my poor eyesight, ha! but if you want small print, don't critique my punctuation then, ha!
The Clippers are cursed, yes they are. However, there is a quick remedy. The Clipper Curse is concentrated on only one man. Donald Sterling. He is what is called a Jonah. He is the opposite of Midas, whatever he touches turns to excrement. As soon as he is no longer in the picture, then he carries the Curse with him, and the Clippers will be healed.
If DTS is cursed, why does every business investment he makes turn to gold. Why is the team he bought for 11,000,000 now worth 300,000,000?
I should be cursed like that.
What makes you think they were "preventitive" doctor? Brands was not, Livi's was not, Griffins was not. These were all unusual and freakish injuries. Your sore throat metaphor is a little off, since it's not always the same thing that's been wrong. Powell has not misdiagnosed or mistreated these injuries
I've read several posts on this board over the last couple of seasons where people blame the medical staff and cry for them to be fired. My wife is an athletic trainer, and I can tell you that they are advocates for player health more than anything. What happens pretty frequently is their wishes and professional opinion are superseded by the coaching staff and players are sent out on the floor when they shouldn't be playing. Medical staff do everything they can to minimize injury even when their recommendations aren't followed.
Sometimes circumstances and injuries are just greater than medical staff, or anybody else for that matter, can control. It's easy to try to place the blame on someone, anyone, but the simple fact is nobody could have done anything to prevent the injuries that have plagued us over the years.
You gotta stop listening to Phil Jackson.
DTS is making profit despite owning the team. He is a real estate mogul. He has little to do when it comes to daily operations.
Opposite of Midas? I think he is the only owner that makes a healthy profit despite the losing history of the team.
If that is a curse, sign me up.
Good point. There's no curse really- there's just wrong intentions with what it's being run for. It's not being run for the fans.. It's being run for the profit. And in that regards, he's doing a great job.
Clippers need to hire every kind of priest or medicine man to work on bringing in a good mojo. They can bring in witch doctors, santeria specialists, everybody and anybody to work on the bad mojo that hangs over the team. I wouldn't hurt if DTS started off by being a great humanitarian to all races. Thats my suggestion.
Finished the thought rather nicely. Kudos.
I agree Joe -particularly on the Phil Jackson aspect. "Mr. Zen" Phil showed he actually has little understanding of the concept of Eastern religions and karma. As someone pointed out on another thread, if DTS really had "bad karma", then retribution would come in the form of PERSONAL loss on his part (say poor business results) rather than having it affect all of the individuals in his organization (with little impact to him).
Good point. There's no curse really- there's just wrong intentions with what it's being run for. It's not being run for the fans.. It's being run for the profit. And in that regards, he's doing a great job.
What do you think modern Biz Iz? In this circus, if you're not in the main event tent (Fakers), you get what they give(headaches), no more , no less.
No problem with his ability as a very good businessman. My comment was, however, thinking about his association with the Clippers. If the object is to win, and I would presume that it should be, then there seems to be a negative aura around his association with the basketball franchise. The point is that the Clippers seemed to be cursed by his being Owner of the franchise. It is difficult to motivate otherwise the habitually losing tradition of the Club since he has been Owner.
Like I said, he is one of highest profiting owners that have a losing franchise. Despite the history, he is making money. To me, that is the Midas touch.
As far as being a Jonah, I disagree. The term Jonah was created by superstitious, paranoid, non nonsensical, fishermen blaming a simple target to justify a bad situation. If you know the story, then you know the fishermen were the ones identifying the Jonah, not the outsider sitting on land.
Again, you need to stop listening to the Zen Master...The great pretender.
Are you aware of the totality of teams that have won in the last 30 years? Are you aware that most of the teams in the NBA have not been to the finals? Conference finals?
When you are ready to sit down and make an educated guess about the situation rather than label something you don't understand, let me know.
Just like the fisherman's lack of understanding of situations, you are pegging the easiest possible target out of ignorance.
I guess it's easier to label someone from a character of mythology or folklore to make sense of it all....
^^^Well said, Joe...
The Clippers problems over the years stem from the cheapness of DTS and the incompetence of those he's hired on the occasions he has opened up his purse strings...
My thoughts exactly, Sam...it just seems that Sterling is incredibly loyal to a fault to likes of Roeser, Baylor (pre-lawsuit), and Joe Safety (the head of the team's public relations/communications). Other than the fact they're yes-men, it still puzzles why they've stayed employed as long as they had.
Not to stray too much off-topic, I saw something else about Sterling's stewardship as ownership that bothered me. Someone else on another Clipper message board posted a photocopy of an old mazagine article about him, and one of the quotes about his relationship with his players said that he referred to them as "racehouses" rather than part of the family, like a father-son relationship. I'll try to post it here in the morning.
Fine. I don't have to listen to Phil Jackson. I was born in Inglewood, and though I have never been principally a Clipper fan, since they do play for my City, Los Angeles, I have always wished them well. However, I have always considered Donald Sterling deleterious to the better interests of this franchise. You talk about how many teams don't get into the playoffs, the Conference Finals, etc., well, how many Owners have been so inept in their administration of a Franchise to have only smelt the playoffs four times in 30 years, and only twice a winning record in those three decades. If you like, I was trying to be accomodating invoking some sort of arcane reason behind his horrible performance. For years, though he seems to have changed a bit lately, I watched him take his perennial lottery picks, sign them to their rookie contracts, develop them for other teams, and then cash in by selling them. Many seem to invoke loyalty as his reason for staying with the bad administration that he seems to choose with such regularity. To me, it seems to be disinterest. I still remain of the opinion that as far as NBA franchise Owners go, Donald Sterling is the worst, and that it is unlikely that the Clipper franchise will amount to much as long as his stewardship of their fortunes continues.
Here's the pic/article I was talking about...
To me, it almost seems that Elgin's comments about Sterling's running of the Clippers as a "plantation" may hold some weight. I really don't want to bring up the race card (because I don't believe it's appropriate here in this topic), like Elgin and his lawyers did, but I wanted to bring some attention.
^^^I think a lot of owners think of their players as racehorses... John Matusak said it best in "North Dallas 40" when he was talking to his teammates... He said something like... "We're not the team! They're the team (pointing upstairs to management). We're just the equipment."
I don't think Sterling is alone in this feeling. There are lots of pro owners who stay aloof from their players, who view them as commodities to be traded or as pieces of silver in their bank accounts. Sterling was just dumb enough to admit it.
I think there is a lot of plantation feel in all of pro sports. Owners trade players, uprooting their families to try to improve their teams, often with no warning to the player, or even after promising him they're not looking to move him. Coaches and executives are fired quickly if they don't make their bottom line... The big difference is, these players are rewarded handsomely for their "enslavement." And with free agency, short contracts, etc., no one is forcing them to stay. Even Ron Harper was able to break out of jail and win some championships.
I've always felt that as a businessman, you never treat anyone below you like an equal, family member, or get too close to them. Now that doesn't mean you disrespect them, bounce your weight around, or treat them inhumanely.
I might get beat up for this by some, but I see nothing wrong with using the term "racehorses". Essentially, that is what any player on a team sport is.
In baseball, you have the "Farm system" where teams "breed", "groom" and "train"players. Farm? Breed? groom? Train? That isn't a coincidence.
I really don't know of any owner that calls or treats his players as a son or family member....They treat them as an investment that they expect a return on very quickly. If not, they get shipped out or released.
This is a business and a race to be the best every season and if the players do not produce, that player gets traded, released, or is put out to pasture.
No problem with his ability as a very good businessman. My comment was, however, thinking about his association with the Clippers. If the object is to win, and I would presume that it should be, then there seems to be a negative aura around his association with the basketball franchise.

One man's mythology is another man's truth. Your understanding of the story of Jonah is very mistaken regardless of whether you consider it fact or fiction your story details are incorrect.
Jonah would be a very accurate comparison actually. Jonah brought on his own misfortunes by not doing what he was instructed/what he knew he should have done. The Clippers have not done what they know they should have and with that brought their own demise. The encouraging part of the story is that Jonah eventually did what he was instructed and good things came from it.
Moral of the story if the Clippers do what they are supposed to, IE create a strong franchise thru the draft, retain our key players, get players that want to win and play to win, then we create a winning franchise that self perpetuates winning.
Yeah im with CJ and Sam on this one, they are basically "racehorses." You spend millions of dollars on them, you put a staff around them to take care of them and you put in place another staff to develop them and put them in top physical shape. Basically yes they are nothing more than super tall and skilled men to play the game of basketball. In one way they are luckier than racehorses because if the basketball players get hurt, they dont get turned into glue. They get ppl to take care of them and help them recover. But if they dont perform, they are kicked to the curb.
As an owner there is no way you look at any of your players as your family because you have to remain neutral and objective in case they dont perform well, or someone better is available on the market. Sure we as the fans see them as family and, most importantly for chemistry sake, hopefully the other teammates see each other as family. But in no way should any of the management see the players as family, not even blake griffin.
Maybe I'm placing too emphasis on the "family" angle, but it's undeniable to me that there's always been sort of a lack of loyalty by Sterling towards his players, even when he has his favorites. Of course he's not the only owner who does this, and certainly won't be the last. I just wished that he cared more, and quit being such an attention whore who's so oblivious to his basketball team.
Very true, one man's mythology is another man's truth. But in the end, you said it yourself, it's mythology. so I'll leave it to you to distinguish what the truth really is.
Now to the story. I had it right. Whether you believe the storm was a direct punishment for disobeying "god", it has nothing to do with what the sailors assumed. That was my point. Sure the story goes on to tell the real reason for it but it that is neither here nor there.
The point was that the sailors had no facts, no evidence to know the real reason for the storm at the time. That's my point.
Now I never mentioned any details about the story, other then to point out that the sailors were the ones to identify the "jonah", not someone sitting on land. In other words, Cuckaroo is sitting on land and is NOT on the boat.
Moral of the story if the Clippers do what they are supposed to, IE create a strong franchise thru the draft, retain our key players, get players that want to win and play to win, then we create a winning franchise that self perpetuates winning.
Very bad comparison. DTS does not take any instructions from anyone. His misfortunes can be debated. He does make good money off of his "misfortunes".
Now, the demise of the Clippers can also be debated. You have to assume that we'd had success from the start of DTS owning the team. The recent success we've had was a direct result of keeping the sailors happy and rich. Only then did we have some short term fortune/success. The demise soon after was a result of the sailors, not "Jonah". "Jonah" did everything in his power to let one keep the ship afloat. It was a misfortune that all the sailors slipped on the deck and hurt themselves.
So, Cuckaroo's point was that everything DTS ( Jonah) touches, brings bad things ( i.e. Clippers). I don't know about you but I don't blame DTS for Brand getting hurt, Kaman, getting hurt, Livi, getting hurt, or the constant changes we've made in the last 3-4 years. The money was put up during that time so he was doing what he should have been.
Until I see DTS sititng in the belly of the Whale, I don't see a connection. Too much things that DTS touches turns to gold for me to believe otherwise.
^^ like many times you completely missed the point of both my comment and Jonah's story. The book of Jonah is called Jonah not sailors for a reason: its about Jonah. Sailors were minor characters and Jonah wrought the punishment on himself because he didnt do what he was commanded. This wasnt just an idea from the sailors but clearly the theme of the Book, if you had read the Book of Jonah you would see that.
DTS is like Jonah in regards to winning and success of the franchise. He hasnt done things right and has wrought upon himself a losing culture and ridicule. I am not speaking about the monetary gains but success from a winning perspective and a personal achievement non-monetary perspective. The blueprints to win are there for him to follow, and there are quite a few different approaches to take but he has chosen not to take them. It's not just about following a command but doing what you should be dong, and DTS is not doing that.
And btw, the Clippers are stuck in the belly of a whale called the freaking Western Conference year after year.
You missed the point of what I was discussing with Cuckaroo. You just decided to nitpick on meaningless stuff. What Cuckaroo said was that the Clippers by DEFAULT, are cursed. So if he is saying the franchise is cursed, wouldn't that mean the players, FO, and everything involved is cursed?
So how is DTS punished? By getting richer? Is that the connection your are trying to make with Jonah? By the way, I've read the book so yes, Jonah is the main character but DTS isn't. The sailors through him out of the boat which means the players, organization would have done that. Diddn't happened. The only person feeling the wrath was Jonah. And by my estimation, DTS is business as usual.
Dude, DTS bought a bad team that was moving from place to place. When did he feel the "success"????? He bought a losing culture.
And btw, the Clippers are stuck in the belly of a whale called the freaking Western Conference year after year.
The clippers as in Sailors? Shouldn't it be DTS...that is of course if you want to make a perfect analogy...
See, you want to take pieces of the story and fit them how you like regardless of how they fit into the story. Analogies or metaphors don't work like that.
^^^ you still dont understand. oh well, cant say i didnt try. i guess if you dont want to look past your blinders its useless.
I understand, believe me. I'm just not one for trying to put a square peg in a round hole.
The essence of the comparison is not about the literal meaning but what that word is supposed to imply.
This entire postseason is making me so mad right now! So mad. Donald being a freaking idiot. Refs clearly f***** up calls. Everything that could go wrong is going wrong except CP3 tearing an ACL or something like that...This is so stupid! Russell calling us floppers is pissing me off. Everything is pissing me off and its just not fair. The clippers franchise is forever cursed. No other franchise has to deal with half the crap we have to deal with!!!
Things are on the up IMO. Even with the latest crap we are the Spurs retirement away from consistent playoff top two seed. I'm excited for the off season even though I want us to go as deep as we can. New owner with the core locked in for the most part.
No curse, it's just the way the game is. But assuming the Sterling situation works out, and the franchise is able to stabilize, the future will be bright. I honestly think we are one decent 3&D guy away from being a serious contender.
^^^^Plus getting two tall bench bigs who won't foul out in 6 mins.
We won't be competitive next year with this sterling bs
Our only curse is that we don't play with dignity. We flop around and get mad because refs don't respect us. We need to play tough, hard-nosed basketball, and win the right way.
Are you a Thunder fan? Because that's the only way that post would apply.
No. I watched that game yesterday, and I saw us throw away a game because we stopped playing basketball. Up 13 with 3:30 left in the 4th, we started holding the ball and stopped attacking. That's why we lost, in addition to Chris Paul trying to draw a foul on a 3 from 74 feet away from the basket. That play hasn't not worked, not one single time in the entire season, yet Chris Paul threw the game away on an attempt which has never yielded any positive results, and we lost because of it. Then on the following play, we were so busy complaining about the blown call, which I understand, but you have to take responsibility for your actions, and the role you played in the situation. Chris made an absolutely idiotic play, and we suffered horribly for it. He wasn't able to focus on our final chance, and he loses the ball on the final play.
I'm saying: Stop being drama queens, and start playing Basketball. They need to start playing like Basketball players not theater players.
I agree that the prevent offense was a big reason for the loss, but none of that is "flopping around." The Thunder have done all the flopping this series and they've been given every call.
Anyone against griffin going to play in Spain this summer? That is so meaningless and is asking for trouble. He should stay here and train with Hakeem or Karl malone.
The Thunder do the exact same thing and are even softer. The difference is we don't have the golden boy of the nba.
I don't think you understand the Clipper Curse. It's not really injuries per se.
Cassell's eight seconds
The shot by Raja Bell
The total meltdown because Corey didn't want to come off the bench and MDSr started Livingston over Sam. They got Doug Christe on a 10 day contract and the locker soon was so toxic that he left and we lost almost all of our road games.
Brand screwing us. He really didn't We got lucky
The Baron Davis mess that destroyed the season including getting the coach fired.
Kaman missing most of a season because he stepped on a camera man's foot. A freak accident.
The DTS incident
Livingston's knee injury.
We get Olawakandi as a first rounder and he's a head case who refuses to be trained by Kareem
That Russian Yarlov or something as a first rounder who couldn't play.
A heard of players who had their worst year ever after they signed with us - Danny Granger, Grant Hill, Ricky Davis, Antwan Jamison, Ryan Gomes, Dudley, Billups after the injury, Glen Rice arguably. He gets a pass for doing Sarah Palin.
12 Brand and Billups rupturing their Achilles tendons, an injury that can't be prevented or predicted which in both cases destroyed their careers
Clipper Luck has always been because this team could have been the model for a Mexican soap opera.

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
For five days every winter, people decked out in costumes swarm Durango and roam the streets, hoping to best others in competitions such as drink making or pingpong.
Snowdown undoubtably brings people downtown, but it�s close to impossible to measure the economic impact the winter festival has on the city because no one has put together an impact statement in its 35-year history.
�It fills the streets,� Bob Kunkel, downtown business development manager for the city, said of Snowdown�s signature attraction, the Friday-night parade. �They�re not really there to shop. They�re there to see the parade.�
He said, �They might drop in for a meal or coffee if they�re cold or a drink, but they�re probably not there to shop for consumer goods.�
The average retail store might not see a large increase in business during Snowdown, but the bars definitely do with alcohol flowing from the first event to kick off the festival, typically Fashion Do�s and Don�ts, to the final one Sunday night.
Colorado Pongas was at capacity by 9 p.m. for its stripper-pole contest, and people were lined up around the block to get in, said manager Jordon Nelson.
�As far as our whole weekend went, it was so packed you literally had to stand in line for an hour to an hour and a half,� he said. �Every weekend is usually pretty busy, but during the weekend of Snowdown our business doubles.�
Durango Lodge was at capacity during the weekend. It hosted a ski group from Phoenix, but it would have been full even if the group was not in town, said front-desk clerk Fran Conway.
Hotels and bars see a bump in business, but it comes at a high cost for festival organizers and the city.
Organizers had a budget of about $65,000 this year, with about $9,000 of that going toward insurance, $10,000 to printing the schedules and posters, and about $6,000 going to the city and police for the parade to help cover their costs, said Tim Cooney, treasurer for the Snowdown board of directors.
The city spent about $2,200 on overtime for its 20 hourly employees who worked during the Snowdown parade, said Tom Kramer, city facilities and fleet manager.
The Durango Police Department had 31 staff members working during the parade, which is the largest Durango hosts all year.
Snowdown organizers pay for 12 of the officers on a contractual basis at about $60 an hour, spokesman Ray Shupe said.
Seven of the officers worked at a regular pay rate, and 12 were paid overtime at a rate between $40 and $50 an hour, Shupe said.
�We always staff extra for Snowdown because it�s a busy weekend, but historically it�s been that way since Snowdown�s inception,� he said.
Overall, he said it was an �uneventful weekend, as far as Snowdown goes.�
As far as revenue, the festival�s timing, part in January and part in February, makes it difficult to nail down.
Sales and lodgers tax numbers for those months in 2010 and 2011 were up, but it cannot be attributed to one event, such as Snowdown, said Julie Brown, finance director for the city.
The numbers were down during the same time period in 2008 and 2009, but that is when the Great Recession hit Durango.
Sales- and lodgers-tax data for January isn�t released until Feb. 20, and February data is released a month later.
Snowdown treasurer Cooney said the organization plans to contact Fort Lewis College about conducting an economic study for a class project in response to the Herald�s inquiry asking into the festival�s effect.

I'm apprehensive about this game. Miami has had their share of troubles so perhaps Clippers can take advantage. I hope Clippers play well and come out ahead. This is a big test for them.
Yeah but I'm getting a little annoyed that we've had to face these "big tests" without our floor leader. But such is life.
Hope we win this game.
And this Big Test number???...I lost count.
By the way, anybody know how we've done so far in the Big Test test.
Easy win. Chalk it up 21-3 at home.
Heat haven't won @ Staples since the big three got together. This goes back to the Baron days.
I was hoping we'd pull it out over Denver, this is going to be tough on our weary team.
If CP were around we would do the Monster Mash all over them.
BG vs LBJ will be interesting. BG did a good job but we can't afford to get fouls. Who will guard BG? Since he's been in beast mode few can. LBJ will probably try. Maybe Matt can at least slow Wade. Bosh may be a problem since he can spread the floor but who's gonna rebound? I wonder if Bullock is able to guard Wade/Allen? JJ sure can't. Trapping Collison will hurt but not like trapping CP but the last time we ran our offense through CP now it's through BG. They will be facing an entirely different team. If our shooters show up, game over.
JJ can certainly guard Ray Allen. Nobody knows that better than Doc. He had trouble guarding Wade in Miami. But anybody would have had trouble guarding Wade when he's playing with a chip on his shoulder.
It would be great to beat an elite team..............we haven't done that in a while.
I hope the players are a bit more rested.
Good Game. We should win. Meanwhile the Warriors got blasted by the Bobcats at HOME. How did we lose to the Warriors? Wizards and Bobcats both beat them on the road. WoW
Easy. They hate us up there and it is a divisional rivalry game, so they get up for it.
I am looking forward to this game. I predict a close game and a Clippers victory.
Yeah the Warriors totally looked past the Wizards in order to blow out a hated rival in the Clippers. A Clippers team on the tail end of a grueling schedule and a 2nd of a back-to-back. Now GS are back to playing mediocre basketball. Congratulations to them.
If you are a Clippers fan and want LBJ on this team then read this juicy little nugget.
Honestly don't think LeBron and CP3 would mesh well together. Both need the ball in their hands.
It would be an adjustment for LeBron for sure, he'd be more of a catch & shoot, roll man and post up player.
I'd honestly trade CP straight up for LeBron though, him and Blake would be scary as **** for opposing teams.
I see people saying this, but it really is false. They say the same thing about "Melo", and other ball dominant players.
But the reality is there is not position on the floor that wouldn't benefit from
an expert playmaking PG who can get them the ball in their favorite positions.
Most of the guys who people claim "Need the ball in their hands" are generally on teams who have below average playmakers as PGs.
I don't think people are saying it because LeBron is "ball dominat" they are saying it because he is also "an expert playmaking PG who can get them the ball in their favorite positions" just like CP.
Both Chris and LBJ are both so unselfish which could be a problem....or a weapon, who knows?
Surprised as many media people suspect us to win this game. This should almost be looked at as impossible with a fully healthy big three playing.
Don't think it would be problem at all. The reason LBJ would want to come here is because of Paul. He understands just how good of a playmaker CP3 is. No Paul no chance of getting James.
LBJ is nowhere near an expert playmaker Nor a PG. He is an ABOVE AVERAGE playmaker for his position and a good passer.
Don't mistake getting double teamed and passing to the open man for
for setting up plays and getting your teammates the ball in the right
spots throughout the entire game.
LBJ is my favorite player of all time.... man, that would be badass if we got him! Hell, I've always had a nagging thought that 2010 wasn't the end of the LeBron-to-Clippers story anyway.
Imagine what the new TV deal would look like
You must not want Lebron James play much. He is a great play maker for any position.
We are 20-3 at home, they must be giving up credit for that.
Lol, you've never watched LeBron play basketball. His playmaking and court vision is tops in the league right next to Chris.
Yep, James is pretty darn good, not quite in Paul's league but excellent for the position he plays.
http://stats.nba.com/playerTrackingPass ... PerPage=25
I've watched lebron play more than most.
Again to the untrained eye I can see why you say that.
But if you understand the ins and outs of basketball you clearly
see what I am saying.
Lebron makes plays out of the double team. Which means someone
is always open.
Chris paul sets up plays from the top of the key which is an entirely
different skill set.
If Lebron were that good he'd just play PG and dominate the entire
league at PG. But there is a reason he plays SF.
Magic was a 6'9 PG. Lebron is a 6'8 SF who makes great passing plays at his position.
The PG and the SF are two very different positions that require different skill sets.
This isn't a debate really. Just watch the game tonight and see where most of Lebrons "Playmaking" comes from.
JJ Reddick out with Hip,Back,Knee, etc. Doc said JJ is a little banged up and pulled him out of shootaround earlier today. Jamal will start in his place. Sasha Vujacic sighting? Possibly
JJ is like a walking injury. Jesus.
Doc said in his pre-game presser that JJ won't play tonight due to a back/hip issue. Bummer. Jamal will start instead.
ETA: LOL, posted the same thing as above.
No jj crap , Jamel goes for 50+ tonite , please! !! Blake goes for 40+ and DJ 20 pt 20 rebounds !! This would be a great win !! Go clippers
maybe we will have a Sasha sighting lol
Well, it's not like JJ has been giving us much the last couple of games. Gonna need a miracle to beat the champs without our starting back court... a miracle like some production from the 3-spot.
If this game were on TNT I would be more worried
Thank god the game is on prime ticket with Ralph and Steve smith !! God I hate the other announcers !! Lets destroy the heat !!
I want to see DJ dominate this game.
Oh no i can't find a prime ticket video. Go Clips!
I feel like since Willie has been hot we'd be better starting him and letting jamal do his thing
Damnit Barnes got burned bad by wade lol.
Could barnes be the worst finisher in the nba
Barnes misses another easy layup...my god what is wrong with this guy? Start Dudley.
Matt barnes getting destroyed
I see Barnes is already in dumpster-fire mode and I'm sure Dudley won't be much better. Hopefully we can at least keep it close with no CP3 or JJ.
Damn Barnes is getting killed by wade
Jordan falling asleep again. 2 consecutive plays.
Well if Miami does not miss a shot we will not win.
What has happened with our defense????

The Aiken Standard's Talkback section has contained quite a few references to President Obama's trip to Africa. Most are critical of the projected cost of $60 to $100 million. I don't know if these cost projections are accurate since they sound like something that Michele Bachmann would disseminate. Consider the source when quoting these projections.
As for the trip, it requires considerably more logistical support to travel to the continent of Africa due to the lack of extensive infrastructure to support a trip for an American president. Fuel for the aircrafts has to be flown in, as an example. When the president travels internationally, he flies aboard Air Force One and another aircraft that is a virtual duplicate of Air Force One accompanies him. This is a back up just in case something goes wrong with Air Force One. This set up is not unique to Obama. Previous presidents traveled with a back up, also.
I expect that most of the critical comments about Obama's trip are coming from people who don't care about the people of Africa. From a purely diplomatic point of view, it is just as critical for the countries in Africa to be provided support as for any other country.
One of Obama's initiatives is to expand access to electricity to sub-Saharan African countries. The initiative will encompass six or seven countries, and then be expanded to other countries. This is a government/private sector venture.
If you grew up in the South and other rural areas of our country during the early to mid-20th century, then you can appreciate how the expansion of electricity to those areas changed the lives of many people. The same results will happen in Africa.

April L. Brown/Associated Press file photo
April L. Brown/Associated Press file photo
Fort Lewis College�s new football coach arrived this year with hopes of turning around the college�s lackluster team, which went 0-10 last season, but he also apparently brings $40.7 million in debt.
The Associated Press reported Friday that creditors are trying to block John L. Smith from liquidating the debt, saying he moved several properties and more than $2 million from his holdings before filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
FLC hired Smith in January, and he started this month.
When reached Friday evening, Smith said he can�t comment about pending litigation, but he doesn�t expect his debt problems to distract from his mission as head coach.
�We were involved in different deals,� he said. �I don�t know what to say about it. It�s all in litigation at this point.�
He hopes the FLC community and Durango as a whole accept his difficulties.
�I would hope they would be understanding and say, �Yeah, he got involved in a number of different ventures which went south,�� Smith said. �I think that�s about all you can say.�
Before arriving at FLC, Smith was the interim football head coach at Arkansas, a premier Division I team. He has more than 40 years of coaching experience, including 19 years as a head coach at the Division I level.
He was not retained as head coach in Arkansas after the 2012 season.
FLC President Dene Kay Thomas and Athletic Director Gary Hunter said they were able to lure him to FLC to lead the Division II Skyhawks.
It was a rare move for a football coach of Smith�s stature.
Thomas said Friday evening she was aware of Smith�s financial situation before recruiting him.
�He was very open with me about his situation before we hired him,� she said. �It has no bearing on his ability to coach football.�
Federal bankruptcy court filings by Smith�s creditors say he cashed $1 million in certificates of deposit in 2008, and he is �unable to explain the current location of the funds.� The documents also allege that in 2008 and 2009, Smith transferred $1.16 million to his wife, son and daughter-in-law. Most of that sum, $975,000, went to the Diana Smith Trust, which is named for Smith�s wife.
Smith has said Kentucky real estate investments that went sour led to his financial troubles. He disclosed to the AP last summer that he expected to file for bankruptcy protection and hoped his financial woes wouldn�t be a distraction during the season as he took over for the fired Bobby Petrino.
In 2008, Smith shifted ownership of real estate � two properties in Idaho and one in Michigan � to the trust in his wife�s name. The filings allege that Smith transferred his interest in a company, JLS Enterprises II LLC, to his wife�s trust in 2008, and between then and 2012, Smith signed documents as a �member� of JLH, which held property in Kentucky.
On Sept. 4, 2012, that entity was folded into Fourth and One LLC, of which Diana Smith was the sole member.
Smith filed for bankruptcy two days later.
Smith�s lawyer, Jill Jacoway of Fayetteville, Ark., didn�t return phone and email messages seeking comment.
As of Friday, Jacoway had not filed a response to the creditors� complaint. A lawyer for the creditors, Thomas Robertson Jr., said he didn�t want to discuss the case outside of court.
Arkansas hired Smith away from his alma mater, Weber State, last April when it urgently needed an interim coach. The school had fired Petrino after he hired his mistress to work in the football program.
Arkansas entered last season ranked in the top 10 but lost to Louisiana-Monroe in its second game and limped to a 4-8 finish.
Smith had a 10-month contract for $850,000 structured so that much of it would be paid on a deferred basis. Athletic director Jeff Long said during the season there was no intent by the university to keep that money from being seized in the bankruptcy proceeding.
But the creditors� filing alleges that Smith �intended to place such funds beyond the reach of the creditors.�
Jacoway said after a hearing last fall that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Ben Barry will decide what happens to the money Smith earned at Arkansas.
�And if one side or the other doesn�t like what Judge Barry says, then we appeal, and we appeal, and we appeal,� she said.
The creditors include Terra Springs LLC, John D. Rhodes Revocable Trust, the Rhodes Family Limited Partnership, John D. Rhodes, Gerard J. Hart, Spring Farm Glen LLC, Spring Farm Pointe LLC, Terra Acquisitions LLC and Branch Banking and Trust Co.
Barry has assigned a trustee to handle any of Smith�s assets.
In a previous interview with The Durango Herald, FLC�s Hunter said he expected Smith�s annual contract to be a bit more than the $67,000 that previous head football coach Cesar Rivas-Sandoval made.
Smith said he is enjoying Durango and his first week at FLC.
�We�re working hard on the recruiting trail,� he said. �We�re excited to be here, we love Fort Lewis and love the snow and love the mountains. We�ve just got to get the football team back and try to get ready for spring ball.�
AP Sports Writer Kurt Voigt contributed to this report.

Today my friend Chris and I completed the next two sections of the Capital Ring walk around London. Despite the temperatures pushing 30°c (which is pretty hot for England) we completed about 13 miles, mostly on the pavements of south-east London.
3. Grove Park to Crystal Palace (8.5 miles)
4. Crystal Palace to Streatham Common (4.0 miles)
I wasn't that impressed with the first part of the walk, not much to see, no real views to speak of and much of the route along concrete and tarmac. There were a few parks and a couple of strips of woodland, but on the whole this were quite unremarkable.
The only really remarkable thing was the state of the grass, it has been several weeks since we had any decent rain and everywhere is starting to look so dry and brown, it is really sad to see. I know it will start growing again when we get some rain, but it doesn't really make for an enjoyable walk.
The highlight of the first section was reaching the end at Crystal Palace Park, not least because there was at last something interesting to see. There is quite a large park there with many facilities including a very welcome cafe. There are some wonderful historical features here that really warrant further investigation one day.
The most prominent feature is the massive mast of the radio and television transmitting station, there is even a little cable car, presumably for maintenance purposes, that we saw rising slowly almost to the top of the mast.
After spending a bit longer than we had planned at Crystal Palace we continued onto the next section. Fortunately is was a shorter section because not only were thing starting to get very warm, but it seemed almost as uninteresting to me as the first section, with only a few redeeming features.
The photo above is of the lavender at Norwood Grove, which had quite a nice little garden perched on top of a hill. The views from here were pretty good, looking south to the North Downs. I wonder if we will ever finish walking along the North Downs Way this year?
The final part of the walk was from Streatham Common itself down to the railway station that bears it's name. Every time I head to London I pass through Streatham Common station on the train, one of the many places for which I know the name, but have no idea what is there. Now I know, quite a nice piece of rough grassland at the top, leading down to more traditional park and playing fields.
At least this walk is putting pictures to what were previously just names on a map. It is a shame more of them aren't more interesting, but I suppose you have to take the rough with the smooth.

As I mentioned in the video, my favorite types of perfumes are fruity-florals and I try to avoid perfumes that have baby powdery scents and "old lady" classic perfume scents like the plague. They just don't work with my personal body chemistry and end up smelling very flat and unflattering.
I also appreciate adorable packaging like this cute DKNY Be Delicious apple! ^_^
Here are my top 5 altogether in their cute glass bottles.
Paris Hilton (2005)
Fragrance Notes: Frozen Apple, Peach Nectar, Wet Ozone, Sparkling Muguet, Freesia, Mimosa, Jasmine, Tuberose, Skin Musk, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang, Oakmoss, Pheromone.
I'd describe this one as being "cute and sexy" on me. It's on the sweeter end of perfumes I like but it's great for a night out. It's purported secret ingredient is pheromone in case you want to bring all the boys to the yard.
Marc Jacobs Daisy (2007)
Fragrance Notes: Violet Leaves, White Woods, Strawberry, Gardenia, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Jasmine Petals, Violet Petals, Vanilla, Musk
This perfume is a lighter floral that is a bit preppy and appropriate for everyday. It's not too strong that it's distracting but it's still nice and put-together. I also find that this one doesn't seem to change on different people's skin as much as other perfumes, or maybe it just smells good on most people. The clean wearability reminds me of Clinique's Happy perfume and it's a good "starter" perfume for those new to fragrances.
L L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani (2007)
Fragrance Notes: Water Hyacinth, Violet, Fresh Pear, White Freesia, Jasmine, Muguet, Sweet Pea, Rose, Orange Blossom, Heliotrope, Peach
This perfume is one of my more sophisticated and heavier perfumes and has fresh, floral top notes but definitely has a cooler, muskier base to it that is more masculine than my other perfume picks. I like it for an elegant date night since it's very classy.
DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom (2009)
Fragrance Notes: Apricot, Cassis, Grapefruit, Smooth Skin Accord, Blond Woods, Jasmine, Rose, Apple, Muguet
I really love this perfume as an everyday daytime fragrance. It's a bit sweet, floral, and feminine. The "Fresh Blossom" name originally scared me since I usually stay away from heavy florals but it's actually quite light and I absolutely love undertones of apple in it. It's a really nice balance of florals without trying too hard.
Some honorable mentions I wanted to include are:
Burberry Brit Sheer
A fresh, fruity floral that I don't own yet but want! I recall it being slightly more citrusy than my other loves, which I enjoy.
Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Shine
I love the sample of this I have but won't buy the full size until I run out. It's a fresh floral that is sexy, sophisticated, and very lady-like. This is another date night at a nice restaurant kind of perfume for me.
Lacoste Essential
Clean, fresh, long-lasting, and sliiiightly citrusy without losing any masculinity in the process. Ugh, so sexy. I die. This is my current favorite cologne.
Both Very Sexy For Him and Very Sexy For Him 2 are very sexy but 2 is a bit cleaner and lighter for day-wear. It's my original fav scent on hubby and I can't imagine this would smell bad on any guy, it's that good.

Two candidates for City Council were receptive to the idea of rolling back fee increases for sewer, parking and recycling now that Durango�s fund balance has swelled by $2 million, reaching $9.8 million.
The sewer rate is set to double this year, and parking fees are also set to increase to pay for infrastructure improvements such as backup generators for sewer pumps and possibly a downtown parking garage. The city is charging residents a new $3 monthly fee to pay for an expanded recycling service.
The two youngest candidates, Jordan Golson and Kristen Smith, who are both 29, were the most open to the idea of a fee rollback.
�To me, the word �fee� is a code for tax,� said Golson, during a candidates forum sponsored by the Durango Chamber of Commerce, the Durango Area Association of Realtors and La Plata Forum on Tuesday at the DoubleTree Hotel.
�More taxes can be a bad idea in general because it takes money out of your pocket, makes it harder to hire employees,� Golson said. �I would certainly be in favor of anything that reduces the tax burden of the city, the businesses. One of the biggest problems is the sheer number of fees. Certainly, I think there could be some streamlining.�
Otherwise, Golson said, he would earmark the city�s savings toward �a fund for sewers and roads and water, all those things we�ll have to deal with in the future. Having a (fund) balance is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it�s not spent frivolously.�
Smith, a server at Ska Brewing Co. and an artist, said reducing fees was �an interesting idea, maybe it�s worth looking at.�
She also thought the $2 million surplus �could be used for infrastructure.�
But candidates Dean Brookie, an architect; Floyd Patterson, a roofing company owner; and incumbent Christina Rinderle were content to leave things alone. Candidate Keith Brant, owner of Durango Premier Vacation Rentals, was absent.
�Leave the rollback to Walmart,� Brookie said to laughs from the ballroom crowd of about 150 people.
�The additional fees we�re incurring for recycling, sewer and parking, those are to solve existing problems. The council has responsibly raised those rates to respond to existing needs,� Brookie said.
Brookie and Rinderle made the same point that the city�s rates for sewer and parking are not so steep when compared to other cities.
�Even with our increases we�ve had lately, I know it seems like a lot, but in reality, we have some of the lowest parking rates and sewer rates in the entire state and in cities that compare (to Durango),� Rinderle said.
Rinderle also said the city has not raised sewer and parking rates for �so long, even though it seems like a jump, really, if you look at it amortized over time, since the �80s, we�re really right in line (with other cities),� Rinderle said. �So I don�t support any refund of it, but I feel like we�re at a very stabilized place.�
She said adding to the fund balance �is just a fiscally prudent thing to do.�
Patterson also seemed content.
�I think our city is managed by smart people,� Patterson said.
Golson, a technology journalist, seemed to differ from most candidates by striking a more libertarian tone.
�The government that governs best governs the least, to steal a phrase,� Golson said in his closing.
He had also called proposals to put a fee on plastic fees a distraction.
�We have bigger fish to fry,� Golson said.
All of the candidates rejected a ban on plastic bags, but Brookie and Rinderle liked the symbolism of a nominal fee like 5 cents per bag to help the environment.
Smith and Brookie also differed on accessory dwelling units. Smith did not think they would create affordable housing, but Brookie said an accessory dwelling was his affordable housing when he moved to Durango in 1980 at age 26.

Keys of the game:
defend the 3 point line
limit turnovers
limit offensive rebounds by the Suns
David are you in training to be an announcer?
^^Just demonstrating the new markup features .
I think we should be Alrite, the cp, Collison backcourt has working quite well for us. Hopefully Duds play well again, I think if he scores 13+ tonight we win and dj dominate the boards like against minny
What is this power you speak of ?
Jamal and Blake playing?
Read about it over here Jahvon:
http://clippers.topbuzz.com/PNphpBB2-vi ... 12236.html
It doesn't seem like it.
i think we lose this game, and i wouldn't be heartbroken if we did. Any chance to knock memphis out of the playoffs is A-Okay to me. I'm just bummed PHO lost to the flakers recently..
Hell, let CP rest too. I'd like to see DC and DJ lead this team tonight, win or lose. Maybe we can run the team around DJ more tonight and have him play some post game, something I'd definitely like to see.
Excited for this one can watch it live instead of radio and Dvr. Another game that match up wise Dudley works better as a 4. Bledsoe and Dragic are a dangerous combo and we have to stay ready.
The bench has to show up its a complete must as I suspect Gerald Green and one of the Morris brothers to do some damage. DJ has to stay up on shooters and attached to Plumee because he is athletic enough to cause issues on the glass. Clips win a tough one with a second half surge.
Doc Rivers Shootaround - 4/2/14 http://www.nba.com/clippers/video/2014/04/02/DocRiversShootaroundPHXMP 4-3223091/ via @nba
Hopefully Dudley can handle Frye on defense because if we have to put DJ on him we will become vulnerable in the paint.
Well we are playing a team that is desperate to win for playoff hunt,and you know how a cornered animal acts (and lord knows these guys can be animals). I would rather just come out of this unscathed,I too (like BringKamanBack) would not despair with a loss,I would despair over an injury.
Blake Griffin Will Start Per LA Clippers.
I do not like him starting. Houston Just Lost. Rest Him. No Need To Sustain Any Other Injuries
Blake is back and starting!
Los Angeles Clippers @LAClippers 2m
Blake Griffin will start for #Clippers.
I agree. We don't need him.
While I'm worried Blake is built like a tank, so I don't think a few back spasms are gonna derail him anymore, just crossing my fingers!
Kind of disappointed JJ ain't playing. Was hopeful when he announced he was joining Clips on the road trip...
Doc said he will make a decision on JJ when they return to LA. He said the good thing about this next stretch is that in between games there are two days off. Hinted to me that JJ will likely play after we return home
With GS losing,and say they do,will we win the Division with a win?
Houston lost again. The 3rd spot is closed to if not secured
There's only 6 games left after today. If he's going to play in playoffs, he needs to play ASAP. There ain't no time to shake off rust and reform chemistry in playoffs.
Pissed that stupid Time Warner Cable took out Prime Ticket. Now I have to stream the game.
I dont even want the Clippers to play right now. I wish the playoffs were already starting. I cant imagine how the Clips feel
Lol thank god I found the new channel though!
The fact that the Lakers and Dodgers have to have separate channels instead of just being on the same one is so blindingly stupid it's not even funny, BTW. That being said, the Clippers should get a channel of their own with the new TV deal, IMO.
this is going to be an ugly game... already getting there
Bum of the night plumlee....
We haven't looked like ourselves in these first 6 minutes... Blake not going low.. looking scared... I hope blake takes it down low..
Honestly, I'd have pulled a Pop and just rested everyone tonight if I were Doc.
at least bledsoe is going to the bench lol
really wish we could re-do the Peli-cants game
DJ has to recover fast Plumee is a great athlete he will punish dj being lazy.
This ain't the WWF, the dragon worst nickname in the NBA ever
Wait, what???? So no more Clippers on prime ticket? That was the only way I got to watch every game here in San Diego.
Wait til their true collection of scrubs get released from the bench.
edit: High energy scrubs at that. ugh - the worst.
Which brings in GG...
What new channel?
These suns announcers are the worst ever especially this black guy. He Is just judging everything the clippers players are doing ughh
Nope, no more in SoCal. It has moved to channel 4 for me.
CP is up to his usual awesome self in making two Suns players commit fouls against him, lol.
Weird call/no calls there on that fastbreak Blake dunk
Oh God! I found the game!!!!
Ok start so far, surprised we're winning too
DJ has dropped some easy ones lately
Matt is playing well tonight.
They don't call him deandre "buttafingaz" jordan in the streets for no reason lol

The beds were comfortable and the rest of the interior space was beautiful. But we just didn't use it much, not when you have such a great balcony patio to hangout on!! We walked for miles and every time we came back the balcony was there waiting on us to relax with a cold beverage!! We want to go back………… Thanks again for letting us enjoy this awesome rental. – Bill, Debby, Marvin & Mary – Indiana

Today was the Sussex Family History Group Annual Conference and AGM at Clair Hall, Haywards Heath, West Sussex. The location and format were the same as previous years; three presentations and a handful of stalls providing a complete contrast to Who Do You Think You Are? Live.
The three presentations were a good mix of subjects:
- Jayne Shrimpton: Understanding and dating old photographs – Although I have attended a couple of her presentations before and have a couple of her books, I never fail to learn something new and to be inspired to get my own photographs sorted and dated.
- Jean Hopkins: Brighton's Chain Pier – Some excellent historic images and some superb 3D modeling of this long-lost attraction, although the presentation was a little erratic and disjointed with some technical issues.
- Lars Tharp: The Foundling Museum of London – This was an excellent presentation, I have heard about the Foundling Hospital on several occasions, but this talk really showed just how little I really knew. It was a fascinating talk and even after the talk it felt like we had still only scraped the surface of the history of this remarkable institution and the people involved.
Attendance appeared to be down slightly on previous years and despite my fast approaching fortieth birthday it seemed to me that I was still the youngest one there, which was a little surprising (and another contrast to WDYTYA? Live) although something I have got used to over the years. I know there are younger family historians out there, but I wonder where they were today?
Another great conference and I can't wait for next year when the SFHG marks it's fortieth birthday, apparently special events are being planned to mark the occasion.

Blake Griffin was actually outplayed by Paul Milsap when the Hawks soundly defeated the Clippers in Atlanta, so certainly payback is in store.
The way we playing it will be a win tonight for the Clippers ,more playing time for Granger and Davis.
Time for Clippers to have a 7-game winning streak! Win this one, Clips!
I want to see blake do that move where he faces up and makes a quick move to the hope down the middle. He hasn't done that lately
The last loss at Atlanta was one of the worst losses of the season, I felt disgusted. I want revenge so badly.
Gotta give Atlanta their due... they always seem to play well against us. But a home game against the tired Hawks should be no problem. Take care of business, Clips.
Can't wait to see another game of Big Baby and Granger. Hopefully Jamal can play tonight too. It'd be great if Doc could start slowly bringing him back into the lineup.
This isn't the same team we played at their house. So not to worry, as the revenge will take place.
Clippers -15 tonight.
They did fine without him last year, didn't miss a beat. They'll do fine again this year in the PO's...but they won't beat the Heat.
Does the game start at 6:30 or 7:30 PST?
Jamal's playing tonight, coming off the bench. Best to ease him back slowly.
Clips have only lost 5 at home all season.. time to take care of home court. Let's come out strong and earn some playing time for the bench (Bullock, Granger, and BB most importantly)
Clips have scored every time down the floor
Millsap second air ball of the game! 4 minutes in.
What's with the turnovers as of late?
Great cut to the basket by Barnes and Blake finds him.
4 turnovers already by the Clips.
Antic = scrub of the night.
Who opened the doors a staples???? Third air ball by the Hawks.
Great steal by CP and then a backboard lob for DJ to jam. Sweet!
Good start b6 Clippers.
CP3 playing good defense.
Gotta actually get some stops...
Welcome back Jamal
Chris Paul has been not so good lately. Blake needs to crash the boards more having no rebounds is unacceptable
15th floater to go in sheesh...
Hawks are giving the Clips some trouble. And what's with all these turnovers?
Our defense is terrible right now.
Just feed the ball to Blake.
Turnover city! What the heck is happening lately?
hawks are hitting a few tougher shots that are well defended.
This team is playing like they read their press clippings too much. The defense is looking horrible. DJ getting exposed yet again.
And Jamal gets fouled when shooting a three. Welcome back, Jamal!
We have been a little sloppy so far.. Don't expect that to be the norm for the rest of the game.. we should still pull out a win.
CP3 defense is solid more on DJ be aggressive on the paint.
I don't know what you're watching, most of their shots are well contested. Hawks are just playing spry right now.
The amount of turnovers that we have been getting early on these past few games can really hurt us against good teams if it continues.
Slacking not exposed. Roy hibbert did bad against the rockets so everyone got off nights
This is true.... turning it over all the time sounds like a great way to lose to the Suns and Warriors next week.
On a positive note, Jamal looks to be back in form for the most part.
Duds is officially a bench-warmer.
CP is playing some good defense.
Another turnover and why are all they're runners going in!?
Turnovers are becoming a very serious issue very quickly. Do this **** in the playoffs and see how soon our season ends.
Lousy first quarter. Expected the Clips to lead and play well from the get go, but these turnovers have been awful. I hope they play better in the second quarter.
The problem has not been the defense. The problem has been the TOs. Too many for a team that averages 14 per game of so.
10 fast break points for the Hawks.
Good play by DC.
refs hate big baby i swear

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!

The San Diego Clippers colors were technically red/blue/white, but the blue was baby blue and the red was orange-ish red.
I'd love to go back to those colors because no other franchise uses those colors.
I know, haha. I just got a Clippers t-shirt in May for my birthday too.
Keep the name and colors, but maybe change the logo.
I wouldn't want the colors changed, but if we did I wouldn't mind using a UNC baby blue and white. Basically the Nuggets colors without the yellow, which doesn't look very good. The argyle would go perfect with the Cliff Paul persona too haha. JJ, a Duke guy, would just have to get used to wearing a UNC like jersey.
Lets Just Stay the Clippers , but with these UNIs
With the old school shorts.lol
That Is what I'm saying haha
I would be ecstatic to see that. I suggested something similar, Los Angeles Eagles, it's our national bird. I really like both. Question is, Bears or Eagles? Lol.
I really wish the LA Riots never happened because that would have been a badass name haha
We would look too much like the Grizzlies or the DWill/Boozer-era Jazz with that colorway.
A big reason I am a clipper fan is Laker hate. So how bout new team name "Lakers suck"?
I wouldn't mind a color or a logo change (moreso the logo), but as far as a team name change...I have two words for you all: "Pittsburgh Steelers".
You look up their history pre-Super Bowl era, and you'll understand what I mean...
oh no! I just picture our team having players like the cholos in the movie Baseketball
Good point. I forget the Grizzlies have those baby blue alternatives.
This. I didn't spend the last 12 years of being a die hard Clippers fan just to root for the "orange and black" "Hollywood Knights". Any long time die hard Clips fan would be against any changes. The current arena fight sounds were the same from the first time I watched a Clippers game. The Clippers are the Clippers and the colors are red white and royal blue (for the past 30 years). If you don't like it, gtfo.
I personally think we should keep the Clippers name. I've been through too much supporting the Clippers. I got flack during the Lakers championship years growing up in LA the past 15 years and got a lot of flack from Warriors fans since my move up North two years ago. After this heartbreaking post season we need to keep the name.
On top of that, LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS is nationally recognized now. Not only for good and exciting basketball, but for infamous reasons also. Like the saying goes, any publicity is good publicity. If we change the name, it'd be like rooting for a new expansion team.
I'm not laughing at you, mate... just how you made your point.
You're absolutely right. Literally the only possible legitimate reason for those type of names that anyone EVER cites is the unbroken history of the franchise... kind of like the only possible legitimate use for a confederate flag is in a historical re-enactment or on the tomb of an actual confederate soldier.
Even if this franchise had kept the Braves name after moving from Buffalo, it would still be a pretty stupid name for a Los Angeles-based team... like the lakers, or the Grizzlies in Memphis, or the Jazz in Utah. But since they DIDN'T keep it, they relinquished any and all rights to a very insensitive name from a less educated era.
And as you say, with racism being the very reason that would be directly responsible for any changes that may occur in the near future, returning to such an ignorant moniker would be in (almost comically) bad taste.
How is "Braves" racist? It's a military occupation, just like naming your team the Chiefs, the Generals, the Commanders, etc. I'd understand taking issue with Indians or Redskins, but not Braves. I still don't want the Clippers to change their name, but the Braves would be a better name than the other laughable suggestions like the Hollywood Stars.
The word in and of itself isn't racist per se, but then neither is the word "negro" if either are used as adjectives, as in: "the brave soldier" or "el gato negro".
Nowadays, though, using either as a noun harkens back to days of systematic genocide and oppression.
Hiding behind the "it's a compliment" defense is really no different than Sterling talking about "beautiful black bodies". Not to mention that it's just a stupid f*cking name for a Los Angeles team.
Heck my high school name was " Baldwin park braves" no one caves us crap about it
The Los Angeles Quakes it is
Los Angeles millionaires
I would like to keep the colors although the SD colors were cool too.
I wouldn't be opposed to the "Los Angeles Stars" kinda a throwback to the ABA days? I mean we score like those guys used to..........
I would prefer to keep our current name.
If we had no choice and had to pick I'd prefer to go with Braves. Just because there is at least a link to the history of the Clippers.
It has nothing to do with how I feel about the name towards any particular race. I do get the irony, but don't feel it being really that insensitive. Then again I don't really care if the Redskins change their name either. I really think society is a bit too sensitive now a days. I don't get offended by racial slurs 90%, it would have to be in really bad context to get me riled up. That doesn't mean I would want to work for a known bigot or someone who thinks they own me.
People are so quick to want to rebrand the franchise, just like when we started getting good again with Blake and CP3. Though I don't care as much about updating the aesthetics, we should absolutely not change the Clippers name. Yes, the "Clippers" were synonymous with "bad" due to our poor history, and most recently associated with "racism" due to the Sterling fiasco, but the only true transformation comes with winning with the name. I want to continue to proudly wear my Clipper gear and not have it relegated to the past, because the Clippers future is damn bright.
PS: There was an Hollywood Stars baseball team (and the Fakers have stars aroudn their piss ant logo),....there is a Rancho Cucamonga Quakes baseball team.
No name change,but thanks for playing our game.
I don't want the name to be changed - that would suck. But it is fun to think of alternatives:
Los Angeles knights is ok enough but not great
Los Angeles Renegades
Los Angeles Comets
Los Angeles Breakers (surf lingo)
Los Angeles/Hollywood Titans
There's also the San Jose Earthquakes (MLS). It always best to have a team name that no other professional sports team has.
Please do not change the name but if he does may I suggest the Los Angeles Griffins
I'm in favor of keeping the name but the "Lakers" rip off logo has to go. Obviously I am not condoning turning around and ripping off someone else's good idea....... but I have to tip my hat to the Columbus Clippers (minor league baseball team) for their rendition of the Clippers logo. I wish we would have created something similar first.
Just saying
that's a nice logo. I agree with a logo overhaul. I want to keep the name just change the logo and colors. There's way too many teams with red, white, and blue colors: pistons, 76ers, etc.
That's only two teams. There is no "etc." haha You can maybe throw in the hawks but not really because their blue is more navy.
I was bored so I made a new logo that's more nautical both in symbol and color scheme, and keeps a similar script for "Los Angeles". Don't rip it too much haha.
That's actually pretty good. Only change i would make would be the fonts for "Clippers".
Thanks. Yeah, I didn't spend a lot of time on font selection. Wanted something modern and athletic looking, but settled on that for now. Might have to do a custom job.
Copyright that
The logo itself is brilliant! The more I look at it, the more I like it. Nothing wrong with the font itself, it's just too bold.
That logo is actually pretty sweet... My first reaction was to not like it bc its change but theres not a lot to dislike (other tan the font of Clippers reminding me of SeaWorld). Good job man. Repped!
Mariners colors, I like it. The color scheme would go nice with jerseys.
Wow, holy **** I love this logo. If I had any suggestions it would be to change the font of the "Clippers" part, maybe make it less bold or just use the same font we have already.
Other than that I would be so happy if this ended up being our new logo.
I think the Clippers should keep the colors as is, just add black for we are one. It's okay to have 4 color schemes.
You know the thing about the current logo is if you look at a Lakers logo and a Dodgers logo, ours looks like a morph of the two (I am one of the few though that likes our colors and logo...been with it for too long,but i do like that idea of adding a black one for Sunday games or something).
I like your new version,re-do it with out current font and re-display for we, the curious. I know when I think of LA I do not think of sailing,but I know our new owner thinks a lot about it.
Looks very cool clippyclip- the inside of the wheel even looks like a vortex with a ball floating in it. Sweet.
Angel City Devils
Los Angeles Devils
Very cool, Clippyclip.
I'd love to see something with an actual Clipper ship in the logo (if you get bored again )
I did a rough version of an idea I had, but I'm not good enough with graphics to really make it what it could be. I'd be very interested to see your take on the idea.
I like the idea, that you have cleepers very cool, not too fond of the gradient there but I want to see something like that, another user has a similar profile pic...
I do want to see 'Clips' in a secondary logo or an alternate Jersey. Kinda like Cavs, Mavs, TWolves, etc.
Yeah, I got lazy towards the end and just wanted to incorporate the baby-blue. Probably would have been better using it for some waves under the ship.
Like I said, my execution is pretty lame, but I think the concept is solid.
I made a clippers logo in 3d for my video mixes a while back. made it a bit futuristic but similar to the one Clippers made. It's at the start of this mix:

Harang vents again…a little.
The Reds find themselves staring at a potential 1-5 home stand and a three-game sweep to the Astros. Tuesday's 8-3 loss wasn't pretty in any sense and another source of anger and frustration for Aaron Harang.
"I don't know what to say, really," said Harang, who lasted only five innings and allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits with one walk and two strikeouts. "They came out swinging and I just couldn't get it done."
You may remember that Wandy Rodriguez and the Astros left Harang burning with a 7-0 loss on April 18 in Houston. In that game, he tossed a cooler along with a bat and glove. After a four-run Astros fifth tonight, Harang slammed his glove on the bench.
"I'm expecting to go out there and go seven or eight innings," Harang said. "I made some good pitches. We brought the infield in [for Matsui] and I got exactly what I wanted to. Of course it goes right through the infield. It's not their fault. It went right through the hole. There was nothing you could do about it. It's kind of tough when you go out and are trying to get as deep in the games and you can't get it done."
The big glaring number that was the defense's fault were three errors. Joey Votto made two errors on one play in the first inning and it let a run come home.
"We didn't help him out very much. That hurt," Reds manager Dusty Baker said.
For those who wanted to see Adam Rosales, no dice. Rosales made the on-deck circle twice but never entered. He was standing there when Alex Gonzalez flew out to end the game.
Follow updates on Twitter at:
1 Comment
Look forward to seeing Rosales in the lineup today. Where should he bat?
The Reds are 2-9 when giving up 4 or more runs.
The Reds are 10th in the NL in stolen bases.
The Reds are 14th in the NL in fileding percentage.
I'm a glass-is-3/4-empty guy today.

Matt Barnes left the floor with about 3 minutes left in the third quarter in game 3 of the playoffs vs the Warriors. It appears that he broke a toe or dislocated a bone in his foot. His status is unknown at this point.
UPDATE: It appears to be "just" a jammed toe.
Playoffs are not for the weak,either players or fans. Whereas we would go on disability, they tape it up and away they go.
Matt looked in a lot of pain when he was getting the toe put back in place. It was a bite on this stick kind of moment.
Oy, that must hurt like crazy. I accidentally stubbed my toe the other day and broke the nail bed and that hurt like hell. A jammed toe, while better than a broken one, is no picnic. Get well soon, Matt!
There bound to be soreness and bruising after that, lets see how he is for next game.
Does it not seem, over the last 3 playoffs runs, we get hurt way more then other teams do? I get it with Memphis, all they do is try to hurt,but it seems we really get racked up no matter what. And poor CP3 not only injured but with the flu. That man is a gamer.
They didn't use anesthesia that's why. When I got my finger dislocated, the doctor had a hard time popping it back but he injected anesthesia before doing it.
Start Granger. Let Dudley/Hedo play some backup SF. A gimpy Barnes is not a useful Barnes. Let him rest and get back to 100%. It will be better for the team and will prevent further injury.
I think Dudley deserves to start if Barnes isn't ready.
Would rather Hedo get the start regardless if Barnes is 100% or not. If Barnes can't go full speed put Dudley next to Davis and start Hedo.
Hopefully Barnes can play.. His offense has been off but his defense has been on point when guarding and switching.. We need you Barnes!
I'd go with Granger, and activate Bullock to see what works better between him and Duds. We haven't seen too much of Granger with the starting unit, and it might be something really positive that works out for us.
Seems like too perfect if a solution to pass up.
Starting Granger might be the way to go, but activating Bullock won't happen unless more injuries be fall us.
You go with the vets first.
Duds can't handle any bit of Iggy. I wouldn't be opposed to Duds guarding Leonord in the WCF though if we so happen to meet.
Barnes is having a bad series, can't buy a bucket, and Granger is streaky from game to game, 15 in the blowout nothing yesterday, CRINGING!
Igoudala has been terrible this series. I think he might be playing through knee tendinitis similar to what Dudley had earlier in the year.
If Barnes can't play in game 4, I say we start Granger and use Turk as our first SF off the bench.
No, Barnes needs to start. He's got great chemistry with the rest of the starters and he does play good defense. He's gotta play. Get well soon, Matt!
If it's his but toe there may be a problem. The big toe stabilizes you and an amputated big toe is a cripling injury not that his will be amputated. Start Granger but he's been so foul prone. You can post him up and put in Duds.
yup yup, he is running around and hustling. Also he knows where to be and doing a lot of dirty work. Watch him closely on rebounds and running around the picks, he is being real physical and elbowing their thighs, i love it you can barely see it. They think twice about setting good picks on Barnes he is in their heads
Barnes shot is not falling and he does have some bone headed plays in the games but a lot of the little things he does go unnoticed

Gavin Stevens, was born blind but proves to his parents that he can take on any obstacle--starting with this curb.
Gavin's parents have uploaded videos to YouTube of their son's progress for years, showing that while he may be blind he possesses so many other strengths.
Gavin was born with LCA or Leber Congenital Amaurosis, a rare disease that caused him to be completely blind.
Nonethless, he has developed an ear for music, loves to sing Bruno Mars, and refuses to stop learning.
In this video, Gavin shows off his independence by using his tiny cane to step down a curb.
It's a short video, but a touching moment.
You can also check out Gavin's YouTube page to see more of his progress and musical talents.
