Despite a weak performance from Blake Griffin, the Clippers found themselves tied with the Magic 70-70 with 9:41 left in the fourth quarter. They weathered the storm through the third, surged back after an 11 point run from the Magic and the Clippers were poised to sneak away a win from the stumblin[...]
For most teams there would be little excitement down the stretch, for most teams it would have been a pleasant malaise as they watched their home team run the Bobcats off the floor. I’m not saying it wasn’t a welcome surprise to watch the Clippers hold the Bobs to 40 percent shooting and[...]

They shot poorly from the field (33 percent, 22 percent from three) and they defended poorly (Pacers shot 50 percent from the field and 54 perc[...]
Let’s talk about snow for a second—it’s that time of year. Heading up to Alta in Utah in a couple of weeks for my annual Manly Men ski trip, a bunch of pathetic middle age guys who happen to be pretty good skiers.
