“This is humiliating. It is absolutely embarrassing.” — Ralph Lawler [4th, 0:59.2] With Devin Harris and Courtney Lee not suited up for New Jersey, the Nets have precious few places to go in the halfcourt. Brook Lopez on the block provides the Nets with a viable option, but there&#[...]

Here’s a piece I wrote recapping the game for ESPN Los Angeles. A couple of additional points, before going to the video of the final possession: It’s a strange game. Strange insofar as the Clippers, whose collective eFG on jumpers is 42.3 percent, drained 11 of 17 shots between 16 feet [...]

The spurt was fueled largely by the second unit of Sebastian Telfair, Mardy Collins, Rasual Butler, Craig Smith and DeAndre Jordan — along with big contributions from Baron D[...]

The Clippers’ non-starting units are a collective -56 for the young season, but reserve forward Craig Smith has had a couple of productive outings, particularly opening night against the Lakers. Rhino bangs inside with impunity but he’s also been effective in pick-and-roll situations, pa[...]
