I have to admit; I hated on the kid for the longest, but he's finally made a believer out of me. It's players like him and Durant that give me hope for the league. I just hope he stays with the Clips. If they added a couple more pieces to that already good young roster, they could be scary good. Read somewhere that ownership wasnt good, though, so we'll see how that goes...

Would love to see a Clippers-Thunder game on ESPN. In OKC, where the crowd gets crazy.

That's an understatement. The Clippers' owner was taunting Baron Davis earlier this season from his courtside seat during games. He would yell...

“Why are you in the game?”

“Why did you take that shot?”

“You’re out of shape!”

What kind of owner yells at their players like that during games...:rofl:

LOS ANGELES (AP)—Blake Griffin had 29 points and eight rebounds, ending his streak of double-doubles at 27 games, and the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 126-111 Wednesday night to win their third in a row.

The Wolves’ Kevin Love had 26 points and 11 rebounds for his NBA-leading 29th straight double-double.

The two players with the most double-doubles in the league had their streaks in jeopardy until the fourth quarter, when Love reached double figures in rebounds after having none in the first half. Griffin left the game two shy with 3:54 to play and didn’t look pleased about it, although the outcome wasn’t in doubt.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
