Clippers come on

What a game! Just finished watching the Clippers abuse the Thunder in the 4th quarter, holding Durant and Westbrook to a combined single digits in teh second half and I gotta admit it, I’m sold. If this is a preview of the NBA playoffs, I’m headed to my favorite sports betting site right now and putting it all on the Clips! Don’t get me wrong, they have to make a couple of adjustments like boxing out and not allowing so many offensive rebounds. DeAndre Jordan also needs to get his head in the game.  The Clippers need his big body clogging up the pain in the final minutes.

Not much I can say about the Clipper guards though.  Chris Paul can pretty much get any shot off he wants.  As long as Mo Williams and Randy Foye keep shooting like he did tonight they’re cruise to the Western Conference Finals, at the very least.  And I gotta admit, the Nick Young trade is HUGE! Back to back 3s in the 3rd quarter plus a few other buckets kept the Clips in the game when they couldn’t buy a bucket.  I’m pumped about the playoffs, only 2 weeks left.  I know, I forgot to mention Blake Griffin. He’s awesome.  Get’s no respect from the refs. He needs to stop complaining though.  Clippers in the playoffs for the first time since 2006.  Time to make some noise.

Basketball Louisville-Kentucky NBA

Perhaps it’s because I grew up with the Illinois-Missouri Braggin’ Rights game, but I love non-conference rivalry games in college basketball.  Conference play is great, the rivalries are special, but there’s something about two teams located relatively close to each other but playing in different leagues, battling for regional pride. cheap jersey When I lived in San Diego the best game of the year was between lowly San Diego State of the Mountain West and even lowlier University of San Diego of the WCC.  The cross-city matchup of Xavier-Cincinnati is another game that gets the respective fans’ blood boiling.

And Louisville-Kentucky might just be the best of these matchups. Cheap Los Angeles Lakers jersey Two historic programs (Kentucky has 14 Final Fours, Louisville has 8) in the same state, a coach (Rick Pitino) that has coached at both schools, what more could you ask for?  I don’t even have a rooting interest in this game (although I’ve never quite forgiven UK for stealing that Regional Final from the Illini in 1984), it’d just be a helluva game and event to witness.

Who Is My NBA Daddy?

This young lady is Hakeem Olajuwon’s 23-year-old daughter “Abi” Abisola Olajuwon. Her full name means “born in wealth and loved by all”. These days she is earning her own wealth over in Croatia where she’s balling with their ZKK Zagreb team. She previously played in the WNBA for the Tulsa Shock.

Troyerz

To be honest, it’s the first time I really ever ‘watched’ the wolves; it’s since this kid (Rubio) came to the team (no disrespect to K. Love -the Best PF in the Game). With those 2 together, D.Will2 and Co. and the great Adleman we saw some real fun, exciting, winning basketball.
Feels like they turned back the page a bit, but I know they’ll adjust real quick and start winning again. Rick Adleman can take any D-League team and win big games in the NBA -it’s what he does..
I Pray a speedy recovery for you Ricky. Keep at your game. God bless.
