That looks especially frustrating when Ariza had a career night in Houston, huh? Oh well.

[gvortex7]

Go Heat!!! They're 3-0 for the first time in a while. It's good to see that we can still win despite playing like crap for much of the game.

[Bizdady]

Lakers scoring tonight too bad they cant play Defense

[Hi-Def Steve]

Good to see Artest have a good game. Horrible bench tonight though.

Ya its not too much to ask for them to hold on to a 22 point lead... lol Glad to see them bounce back though.

[bageleaterkkjji]

that was pretty funny when hawks had like 5 to's in a row...that was like an alley oop contest and the hawks got dominated

[cajmoyper]

This is harsh...but still funny.

Can THE ROOSTER aka the Italian Stallion lead the moribound Knicks to their first victory of the season? Or will Chris Paul tear our non-existant interior defense to shreds and pour in 37 points and 19 assists? Can't wait! /sarcasm

Dang Butlers knee, with Jamison already banged up I worry about our big 3, on a side note man out backups are really stepping up.

Dwight Howard: NBA Player of The Week

Howard led the Magic to a 3-0 week, including two road wins, averaging 21.7 points, 16.0 rebounds and 2.3 blocks. The 6-11 center posted point-rebound double-doubles in all three of Orlando’s games, including a 20-point, 22-rebound performance on Oct. 30 at New Jersey. Behind the league’s leading rebounder, the Magic is off to a 3-0 start for the first time since 1993-94.

That's a pretty sad stat right there.

[Uxi]

lol brutal. That reminds me of the old column Simmons had about the Clippers (particularly ironic given Griffin's subsequent injury):

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...4&sportCat=nba

Our final tally of post-1976 injuries to marquee Clippers players: five career-altering knee injuries (Livingston, Manning, Harper, Smith, Nixon), one career-ending ruptured disc (Johnson), one career-altering back surgery (Vaught), three season-ending torn Achilles (Brand, Archibald, Nixon), one heart arrithymia (Cummings) and multiple foot stress fractures (Walton). Every one of those guys was a top-three player on the team or headed that way.



Total number of post-1976 All-Star appearances by a Clipper or Brave: Seven.
Number of winning Clipper/Brave seasons since 1976: Two.
Number of post-1976 seasons with 30 wins or less: 19.
Number of post-1976 division titles: Zero.
Number of post-1976 last-place finishes: 15.
Number of retired numbers by the Braves/Clippers: Zero.
Overall record since 1976: 944-1730 (.353 winning percentage).
Number of curses that, as far as I can tell, are still going: One.

So that's your new team, Blake Griffin. You have 33 straight years of bad luck working against you. You're entering a world of "Tonight Show" putdowns and half-empty buildings. You're playing for the worst possible owner and the worst possible coach for the Lakers' ugly stepbrother in Los Angeles. You're dealing with a dwindling fan base that's almost supernaturally depressed at this point. You will be the 18th forward they drafted with a top-nine draft pick since 1976. None of them lasted longer than six seasons on the Clippers. Not one.


Since 1976, the Clippers have drafted only one player who made an All-Star team as a Clipper: Danny Manning in 1993 and 1994. Think about that for a second. It's impossible. It's absolutely true. They made 38 first-round picks since 1980; you will be No. 39. They earned a top-10 pick 23 times since the '76 draft; of those 23 times, 12 were in the top four and three were No. 1 overall. They failed to turn the first 21 chances into a Hall of Famer, borderline Hall of Famer or perennial All-Star. The 22nd chance was Gordon; the 23rd chance is you. The odds are against both of you.

Are you F'ing kidding me?!?!?!

Take it easy there. Maybe it is just me, but I tend to ignore most of anything PETA and Green Peace have to say.

Maybe we will see Manu in the next Batman movie. A regular 6'6" pest control guy by day, but a bats killer by night.

[MCT]

bad shooting night for the Rooster but his passing and ballhandling skills shocked the hell out of me, for a guy who is 6'9/6'10 to be able to create like a PG is amazing. Huge steal towards the end to seal the game, too. Finally we get a W. Should be 3-1 right now if not for those heartbreaking losses in OT.

[cajmoyper]

MCT, I'm glad you're here. If it weren't for you, I'd forget the Knicks even existed.
