many or who’s lost their minds and or dignity in games involving hunger or
strife or agony or mental anguish. Whoever
wins, the Clippers are facing an irrevocable side of their history and their
destiny in one fell swoop. I have real
heartfelt emotions and nostalgia for the old cassell brand maggs Kaman teams

Chris Paul earned first team defensive honors, which is,
erm, good news I guess. Not sure how
much meaning is stacked on such an honor when the (cough) defensive player of
the year, Tyson Chandler, was voted to the second team. NBA minds at work.

I have to write something about the Clippers, but I can’t. Well, it’s not that I can’t, it’s that I won’t. Let me clarify, I will, but I won’t like
it. I’ll enjoy myself with the loathing

double agents.
