I feel bad for even thinking/saying this....

When I first saw this clip, I thought for sure that the guy was like a video game player edited in. He doesn't even look real.

I thought the same thing when I saw that video clip. Not only are his proportions way off, there seems to be no separation between his long neck and head.

Look at his arms.

You wouldn’t think he’d be strong enough for high level competition.

But Manute Bol was unexpectedly wiry strong, at least at times. Now his son is a prospect at Oregon.

Well.

Jimmy Butler is in Philly.

so great to see Woike back on the NBA beat after being switched to the Chargers for a year when he joined the Times

It's very possible Austin Rivers could get bought out with the Wizards looking to clear house.

Imagine if Austin joins the Rockets, reuniting with Chris Paul.

What if the Warriors get Austin in an attempt to psyche out the Clipper's confidence.

What if the Lakers, their Big Brother, got Austin.

The Rockets, Lakers and Warriors are all teams the Clippers hold a grudge against for playoffs and relevancy. Add Austin to one of these teams, it becomes personal. When/if the Clippers draw one of these teams in the playoffs, Doc Rivers will have to choose between self-redemption or proud-family.

Doc Rivers will be forced to defeat his own son in order to prove to the league that the Clippers are for real. And so is Doc.

I just watched last nights NBA Top 10 plays.
#3: Blake Griffin making a big 3 with 3 seconds left in the game. He was the point guard, he pulled up from way too far out, and sank the big shot, but left 3 seconds on the clock, which led to...
#2: Eric Gordon coming right back and sinking the game tying shot at the buzzer to tie the game and send it to OT! But he still wasn't the top play because...
#1: Jamal Crawford made a game winning shot for the Suns to beat the Bucks in Milwaukee!
Ex Clips had big nights last night! (And there wasn't a single play from our win over the Griz)

Blake shot was kind of forced.

He was bumped further and further out until finally switched to by Capela and ended up taking a 3 from about 4 feet beyond the arc.

Pretty sure that wasn't the shot they wanted but he couldn't dribble by any of the defenders.

I just watched the highlights of that game and you’re right! The clip made it look like a strong confident shot! LOL never trust the internet... I’m still glad to see Blake doing good. I’ll always be a fan.

They said there was an exchange or two between CP3 and Blake.

They may not know what was said but "no love lost."
