could you imagine if the Clips add Granger & Ben Gordon to round out the roster to 15, pretty tight squad.

I'm just glad it's not so serious. Although I kinda felt like it wouldn't be. If we can rest him I say do it. We have talent and what's important is that we are healthy going into the playoffs. Honestly we're a little nicked up right now. We should play Jamal if he feels like he's ready to go.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Would go ahead and rest him the next three games and see how he feels by the fourth. No need for him to rush his role with the second unit remains the same as always. Use this time to get Granger and Davis in game shape with more time.

BEST: Jamal Crawford Is a Religious Experience

Take three minutes and experience basketball nirvana.

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn_7cw2UOk0[/youtube]

Nobody in the NBA brings me more pure joy than Jamal Crawford. That clip is what every game looks like in basketball heaven. The sequence about at 1:35 is like pure heroin.

Obviously Durant is part of what makes that clip so perfect, but we’ve talked plenty about what makes Durant great, so let’s focus on Crawford for a minute. Endless impossible floaters, spin moves into fadeaway 20-footers, and rainbow 3s. There’s nothing better than watching a guy do the wrong thing, driving announcers and coaches insane … only having it work, so they can’t even get upset.

He does it all so consistently that announcers and coaches don’t even get mad anymore. They just watch him pull up off the dribble for a 26-foot 3 that arches 40 feet in the air, and … it doesn’t even matter if it goes in or not. Everybody just knows that’s Jamal Crawford’s game. We’ve all accepted it. That’s what you’re getting when you put him on the court. He’s got the best handle of anyone on the planet, he’s as quick as anyone on the floor, and he’ll take eight to 10 shots every game that make your head explode. And he’ll make half of them somehow.

We live in the analytics era of sports, with all kinds of advanced stats to explain what we’re watching and scold people for bad strategy, and that makes every night of Jamal Crawford glory twice as enjoyable. You know? [Censored] science, get the holy spirit in your life.
