New Orleans Hornets defeat LA Lakers 116-105. Seriously. Wake us up when the playoffs arrive.

Dallas Mavericks defeat LA Clippers 107-102. If the loss isn't televised, does that mean it never happened?

Anaheim Ducks defeat LA Kings 3-1. Yet again the Kings blow it in the third period.

Notable Notes

  • The LA Times is saying the Giants are thinking about giving Manny Ramirez an offer. The Evil Four-Letter Network is saying that the Giants can't afford him. Meanwhile the Dodgers have offered the 41-year old Trevor Hoffman a one-year contract to save games. What does this all mean? Absolutely nothing.
  • Call me a sucker, but I absolutely love the MLB Network. On their first day they alternated their Hot Stove show with Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series for the New York Yankees against the reigning champs Brooklyn Dodgers. Imagine seeing Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Roy Campanella, Enos Slaughter and Pee Wee Reese. Amazing! They kept the old school Gillette commercials, and it featured none other than Vin Scully calling the second half of the game. Just so you know Scully will begin his 60th season broadcasting games for the Dodgers this season. Amazing.
  • So much has been made about LeBron James finally getting called for a travel Sunday against the Washington Wizards. He called his "signature move" a "crab dribble." You be the judge.

    Here is LeBron's move:

STOP GETTING INJURED YOU BITCHES

Kings are looking good... next year will be awesome... this is their last growth year. Unless MGMT screws up the dynamics the Kings will be in the top 5 of the west next year. Go Kings Go! Bitches.

NOLA made sure that Chris Paul got off EARLY to get them off to a great start. The Lakers were playin catch-up all night.

If the Clippers loss isn't televised... can we say that the Clippers don't exist? CLIPPERSBACKTOSANDIEGO.COM

Raider Fans, yes RAIDER FANS... the time has come for you to accept the CLIPPERS as YOUR basketball team.
Look at the way you stick with the raiders in the down time, look how you are hated and revered, how you are the "envy" of all sports fans, and the amount of energy (or fear) you bring.
Take on the CLIPPERS. Force Sterling to go AL DAVIS like, hire and fire. Go from Red and Blue to Silver and Black.
Do it.
Don't you need something to cheer for and dress up for in the spring months?
maybe you can get the Clippers to become Raiders! that way you never have to change clothes, or add new neck tattoos.
Your rivals would be the Lakers, you'd essentially have permission to stab your neighbor and not some guy visiting from San Diego.

Let's go Raider fans.

Do it.

Make the Clippers the Raiders of the NBA.

I'm counting on you Raider fans.

I get chills down my spin just thinking of an LA Raiders NBA team.
