- First off, tremendous thanks to D.J. Foster for holding down the fort this weekend.
- The Associated Press’ Jeff Latzke has a profile of Shaun Livingston, making his way back with the Tulsa 66ers: “Livingston has no intention of ever watching the replay of that fateful night, believing that doing so would do nothing to help him make the kind of plays he’s making now. At times, he looks like the same Livingston as before — his white socks pulled up to the knees of his toothpick-thin legs — except now there’s a black brace on his left knee and his stringy dreadlocks have been replaced by a close-cut hairdo. On Saturday night, he had the blow-by for a dunk in the first quarter and another dunk in the third quarter — the first time he’d had two dunks in a game since he started playing again. He also had a behind-the-back assist on a basket by D.J. White and a nifty handoff after getting into the lane and jumping to fake a shot. And he can still find his way through a crowd to get to the hoop in transition.”
- Inside Hoops has an interview with Ralph Lawler. The highlight of his broadcasting career with the Clippers? “Without question, it goes back to 1992. Larry Brown was the ballclub’s coach and in the middle of the playoffs against the Utah Jazz, LA was hit with the Rodney King riots and shut down the city for four days, postponed the playoffs and the Jazz were kind of stranded in Los Angeles. They couldn’t even get home, curfew at night and they finally revived the series, moved the game to Anaheim, which is about 40 miles south of LA. On a Sunday afternoon, all of a sudden a cloud lifted over the city. People could go out and have fun and the Clippers defeated the Jazz in an exciting game and forced the fifth and final game of the playoffs the following day in Salt Lake City.”
- Crackers and bananas for Baron. If he plays this right, he could lose 10-15 pounds.
- Did you know that at every Hornets’ home game, there’s a religious benediction before the national anthem?

“Crackers and bananas for Baron. If he plays this right, he could lose 10-15 pounds.”
Not if he adds peanut butter to the equation.
Good to read Shaun is recovering.

Baron Davis doesn’t have any ulcer. What a joke. I thought everyone knew for the past 20 years that ulcers are caused by h pylori bacteria, not stress. Look it up. And, the treatment is antibiotics, not rolaids. This team is so pathetic that it can’t even come up with a phony medical condition that an average idiot wouldn’t immediately recognize as bogus.

I don’t care if Barron comes back, this give Mike Taylor more minutes to play.

Baron Davis can just bring the remaining length of his contract and return it in good faith; in return, I’ll personally pay for a bus ticket out of town. While I am at it, I am sure some fellow Clipper fans would chip in for a bus ticket each for Camby and coach Dumbleavy.
I am encouraged by the hunger of Gordon, Thorton, and Taylor. Let’s get some solid role players in here who want to win a championship. I would pursue Coach Tom Izzo from Michigan State. The Pistons won a ring with “outcasts” like Billups, Rip Hamilton, and Ben Wallace. The Clips can do the same. Go Clippers in 2009-10!

Good to see that Livingston has finally learned a lesson. Last summer playing backup to a better player was not good enough for Shaun – now he knows it’s the only way he’ll get back in the NBA long-term.
As for Baron, the day this ulcer takes off his Clipper jersey for good can’t come soon enough. Despicable doesn’t even begin to describe this man……….

Stian, I’m starting to like you….but Dunce has to go as well…there clearly has to be a new fresh start.
