Your obligatory Ramon Sessions link for the day: I can’t tell you how many times I’ve frantically checked ESPN and twitter for Sessions updates. I’ve read every article, obsessed over every rumor, and worked out every scenario. Enough is enough Ramon: Just sign somewhere. Anywhere. Please.

Looking Ahead At The 2009-2010 Schedule
On August - 4 - 2009
Let’s breakdown the Clippers schedule for the upcoming season, starting with the first ten games.
The First Ten Games:
- @LAL, vs Phoenix, @Utah, vs Dallas, vs Minnesota, @Golden State, vs Memphis, vs New Orleans, vs Oklahoma City, vs Toronto
For a team that struggles with sustaining effort and confidence, building positive momentum from the get go is absolutely crucial. Starting the season off 1-9 like the Clippers did last year would lead many members of the team to develop a Shane Falco-esque “quicksand” mentality that would be hard to bounce back from. All the “it’s the Clippers, we’re cursed” hoopla needs to be put away right off the bat, and starting the season off well would go a long ways to accomplishing that.

Reports out of New York are indicating that the Knicks are slowly inching closer to finalizing a deal with Ramon Sessions. This thing has dragged on much longer than any of us could have expected, but if Sessions is truly close to becoming a Knick than it’s time to look elsewhere and see what’s left in the free agent market. K.A. already took a look at the best perimeter defenders available, so today we’ll break down some of the best unrestricted guards left on the market.
Sunday Thoughts

There may not be a bigger testament to Mike Taylor’s worth than the emotional response elicited from fans and teammates upon hearing the news late Friday night. No one seemed more hurt by the news than Taylor’s best friend on the team, DeAndre Jordan, who briefly commented via Twitter. DeAndre is clearly upset (s.m.h means ‘shaking my head’) that Taylor is no longer on the team, and as of right now he’s probably not the happiest Clipper.
