Congratulations, Phil. Celtics stepped up at the right time.....after a slow start early in the season.
Good luck vs the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.
I thought it was an April Fools joke when I saw that the Clips pounded the Bucks 153-119......but it was not. o_O
Then I checked the box score and noticed a few starters for Milwaukee took the night off. Guess LAC scared them off.;)
Still a win...I'll take it!
Clippers led late in the game and I thought they might pull it out. Bulls tied late to force overtime and won in the extra period. Derozan was amazing.
Paul George led the Clippers to victory with 34 points in 31 minutes from a 25 point deficit to a 121-115 victory over the Jazz.
Shows what I know....sometimes not so much. o_O
Clippers are going to play Paul George tonight on minutes restriction vs Utah Jazz.
Ty Lue didn't ask me for advice but I would not play PG13 for the rest of this season.
Seems to be a pointlesss risk to me.
Clippers drop 5th straight to 76ers last night.
Report Paul George was practicing recently.
My opinion is run out the season, take your lumps, keep PG on the shelf and get ready for serious contention next year when (hopefully???!!!) Kawhi returns at full strength.
JJ Redick interviewed Jayson Tatum on his Old Man and the Three podcast today.
Interesting discussion ranging from their shared experience at Duke to the NBA
Clippers got revenge against the Mavs last night with a 99-97 victory in Dallas.
Their "reward" - game tomorrow against Golden State in San Francisco. Tough assignment.
Have to feel for Nets head coach Steve Nash.
How the heck is he going to manage two major head cases - Kyrie and Simmons. Then add in a prima donna like KD.
Wouldn't want to have to deal with that mess.
Doc probably catching hell from his daughter (Callie) for trading her husband, Seth. Guess Doc can blame Morey.
New York and Philly aren't too far apart, 90 miles or so.
Edit - Sorry, Phil. Did see you previous post before I posted this one.
Another team dumps Montrezl Harrell as the Wizards trade him to Charlotte for Ish Smith, Vernon Carey and a bag of Fritos.
Montrezl doesn't last too long anywhere - Clips, Lakers, Wizards and now Hornets.
Clips did the deal to reduce over the cap tax payments and get a trade exception. Even Ballmer has his limits I suppose. :)

The Los Angeles Clippers reduce their luxury tax payment by $30M by trading Serge Ibaka for Semi Ojeleye and Rodney Hood. They will also...
Clippers involved in another trade - 4 teams involved per Woj
LAC sends Serge Ibaka to Milwaukee (good for you, Serge) for two players
Corrected
Detroit receives:
Marvin Bagley Jr. (via Sacramento)
LA receives:
Rodney Hood (via Milwaukee)
Semi Ojele (via Milwaukee)
Milwaukee receives...
Unfortunately I have to agree with you, Steve. Reach for the Ty-D-Bowl.
Was perhaps a little easier for me to adjust to diminished results since I knew going in that Kawhi would be out.
Could be....would make it more interesting at least.
Clips have a tough schedule coming up to the All Star Break
Memphis
Dallas (two games)
Golden State
Phoenix
Houston (little easier)
Wow! Trailblazers continue to blow up their roster.
They trade CJ McCollum to the Pelicans.
