Is Chris Kaman Right?

Last Friday, Chris Kaman said that Pau Gasol does not deserve to be in the All-Star game. He went on to say that he’s only played “50 percent of the games” (27 out of 44, really, which makes 61 percent) and that Gasol shouldn’t be chosen for the team as a center because it’s not [...]

The Week In TNLP (01/09/2010)

It’s Saturday! Ya know what that means; we shove this week’s entries down your throat. You know you love ‘em! Yes, I understand that it’s the NFL Playoffs but y’all need NBA in your life, too, right? We’re here to help. 1. Z-Bo And The Luxury Of Relevance: David Diep writes about how Zach Randolph [...]

Z-Bo and the Luxury of Relevance

Zachary Randolph has long been seen as an enigma – supremely talented on the court, yet extremely volatile off of it. Everywhere he has gone(or been shipped to, rather), losing follows, right? But how can a 20/10 guy for the bulk of his career be viewed as a cancer? Is it fair? What can be [...]

Tim Donaghy And The NBA

Hey, guys. Y’all remember Tim Donaghy (who, by the way, is now a free man). He is forever known as the referee that fixed NBA games, including the ones that he worked on. Donaghy also wrote a book about it called Blowing the Whistle. In the same vein as Jose Canseco with Major League Baseball, [...]

Talking To Chicks Who Love Hoops: Allen Iverson Is A Grizzly Bear

I talk to my lady friends (who probably have more NBA knowledge than I do) about Allen Iverson going to the Memphis Grizzlies. Personally, I think it’s a good marketing move… but it’s really nothing more than that. Iverson, Rudy Gay, O.J. Mayo, and Zach Randolph look like a good team on paper offensively… but [...]

Five Step Guide.

This is the Baron we NEED to see next year, all year. The culmination of a terrible season finally paid dividends last Tuesday, and now that it’s all but a foregone conclusion that the Los Angeles Clippers will select Blake Griffin with the first overall pick, I have conjured up a list of five things [...]

Griffin’s coming to LA…and I ain’t talkin’ Stewie.

I couldn’t sleep last night. I knew I would be tired this morning, but you know what? I couldn’t care less. I will NEVER, EVER forget what happened on May 19, 2009 – the day the Los Angeles Clippers won the NBA Draft Lottery. It’s nearly 24 hours later and I’m still buzzing. It feels like [...]

Eric Gordon Gets the Shaft from the All-Rookie Team

The Clippers always tend to be overlooked, especially this underachieving and dysfunctional ’08-’09 squad but that’s really what makes Eric Gordon stand out.  Despite all the chaos that has gone on within the organization whether it be a racism lawsuit between owner Donald Sterling and former General Manager Elgin Baylor or Zach Randolph’s DUI charge, [...]

Talking To Chicks Who Love Hoops (PaigeIAm)

The first two editions of this feature involved girls (Alexis and Colleen) who call the Orlando Magic their team. In this entry, I talk to a die-hard Phoenix Suns fan, Paige. It had been a tough year for the Suns so I talk to her about the hardships of the team, what team she’s going [...]

Clippers Vs JailBlazers Recap (04/11/2009)

So tonight was the 24th Clipper game I’ve attended this season and the 23rd that was at Staples Center. What a great night it was for a basketball game! We have one young team headed for the playoffs with a great coach and another fairly young team with a coach who can’t even drive himself [...]
