its a really good nickname!

Mo really is way better than the rest of their bench

holy shit BG coming with some 4Q "BTW I'm not left handed either" magic

wait whats your second favorite sport

of course baseball is number one but i fucking love football both NCAA and the NFL.

basketball is the best sport, get hip to it

well the Lakers lost, should be a fun day at work tomorrow

no, its for the ADD generation

That was pretty kewl and all but I don't want to get overexcited about Clippers beating a Kobe-less decline-era Lakers

in a preseason game

So far I can't see any quantum leap compared to the clippers at the end of last season. They still haven't integrated Chris Paul into the offense and the team needs to settle and play a while before they show any real improvement.

well they will certainly make a quantum leap into the playoffs

I suspect you are right. They've got many good pieces to play with.

this is part of my problem with the NBA. they have been having sub .500 teams in the playoffs lately. (6)Golden State did beat (1)Dallas a few years back IIRC and that was exciting until the next round.

no doubt it is a good sport but is massively overrated. Lakers are overly hyped so the sport is magnified. another reason is LA doesn't have the NFL and well USC is just not enough.

it's too bad basketball is so overrated :(

have you seen that crazy thing they play at the asian games that's like volleyball only you use your feet? That shit's underrated

remember last year when a sub .500 team beat the reigning champions in the first round of the playoffs and then got blown out in round two?

Oh wait that was the NFL's Seattle Seahawks.

dalemberry signs w/ rockets

lol @ aiming to get pau + nene and getting dalemberry instead

what you're saying pau and nene are collectively better than SAMUEL DALEMBERT?

IDK it's hard to say from an exhibition game after an extra long break. Lakers still had a pretty solid defense out there and Clips managed to shred it more or less at the key moments. Jordan looks improved considerably imo, and even BG is looking like he benefits from experience -- he was making some really smart plays I thought, doing a lot to open shots for other people, varying his game, etc. CP3 wasn't a dazzling addition overall but integration issues are something they'll work out. Plus I thought it seemed like Mo Williams was playing much harder and better. The 3-shooting was looking pretty good too overall. Thought I was def seeing a playoff team, maybe even a second round team depending on how it goes, although it would be nice if they had a full season to jell.

Guess I am sort of contradicting earlier post, or at least spinning differently. hurtingflipflops.com

scariest thing for the clippers is their coach imo

preseason is p meaningless, particularly this lockout shortened preseason, beginning of the regular season is gonna be ugly tho my god

motherfuckers will be avging 20 TOs a game

of course baseball is number one
