From my column at ESPN Los Angeles: The debacle in Oakland Wednesday brought into focus the fallacies of the Clippers’ new strategy. Hughes and Davis have been diplomatic with regard to Dunleavy, but both men seem to subscribe to a syllogism that goes something like this: (A) The Clippers̵[...]

It’s pretty rare for me to laugh when watching a basketball game. Ralph Lawler’s quips will usually produce a mild chuckle, and I’ll admit that I get more than a little giggly when his patented “Bingo” turns into an emphatic and somewhat delirious “BAAAANGO!”[...]

Before we get to the full recap, let’s touch on a few things from tonight’s 132-102 loss to the Warriors: Total fast break points: GSW 38, LAC 13. By my count, the Clippers had exactly two transition opportunities in the first period where the game was practically decided. Why the lack o[...]

The Isiah Thomas rumors are categorically false. Kim Hughes is all aboard the Baron Davis Express. “My style would be running,” Hughes said. “I think we can run.” Hughes drew some contrasts between himself and Mike Dunleavy. “[Dunleavy] called a lot of plays for our guy[...]

One minute and two ugly possessions into the fourth quarter, Mike Dunleavy looks down the bench and calls Baron Davis’ number. The Clippers still lead by 12, though the game seems far more precarious given the events of the past week. As Baron ambles over to the scorers’ table to check in at t[...]
