Stu Won't Fizzle Boom Dizzle

You can still root for LA's Golden Boy.

After leading the Warriors to one of the greatest series upsets in the history of American sports (eighth seeded Golden State knocked off top ranked Dallas in six), Baron Davis went from star to hero. It looked like he might be headed for further greatness against Utah, but on Sunday things took a turn for the worse. He was held to 15 points as the Jazz pulled ahead 3-1 in the series. Towards the end of the game he threw a nasty elbow that was expected to draw response from infamous NBA disciplinarian Stu Jackson. Today Stu announced that he would upgrade the penalty, but that Baron can play tonight in Game 5 of the Golden State-Utah series.

Even though we think you may have trimmed your beard a little too much, LAist isn't giving up on you Boom Dizzle. Why? You make us laugh. And you represent LA. You're straight outta' Compton. You played high school ball in Santa Monica and college ball at UCLA. You're Godfather to The Game's son and you say that Snoop Dogg is "like my uncle."

LA may not have a team in the playoffs anymore, but we've got you, B-Diddy. Good luck tonight!

Tune in tonight at 7:30pm on TNT (Time Warner channel 42, and DirecTV channel 245).
