Sorry for the lack of a WotN post folks. I'm calling in sick from blogging today. In honor of that, I'm posting highlights from last night's Pacers-Clippers game.
That's right: Pacers-Clippers.
This is because Blake Griffin is totally freaking sick. The points he dumped on the Pacers weren't just awesome. According to Henry Abbott of TrueHoop, they were historic.
Think about all the players who were supposed to turn the Clippers franchise around: Bill Walton, Danny Manning, Danny Ferry, Antonio McDyess, Michael Olowokandi, Lamar Odom, Darius Miles, Elton Brand, Shaun Livinston...
...so many failures.
But Griffin is legit. This kid is amazing. And I say that as the blogosphere's foremost cynic regarding all things NBA. It's not just his skills. It's his attitude. I am a Blake Griffin fan. He has me watching the Clippers.
I never thought that would happen. Ever.

I never liked Griffin, he just looked weird, but I had never actually seen him play. As the Suns have been playing like shit, I began watching the Clippers because Griffin and Gordon are tearing it up...and they're on my fantasy squad.
I find myself in the same boat, I'm watching the clippers....never thought I'd see the day.
The kid is amazing. Too bad he's working for Donald Sterling. If only that asshole could go do something else, and a decent owner come in for the Clips.
All is normal again. Though I've seen the phrase "surging Clippers" bandied about...
*waits*
My sinuses are truly, truly evil as well. The only thing that's given me any help when they get as bad as yours sound is this:
http://www.amazon.com/Simply-Saline-Adult-Menthol-3-Ounce/dp/B0013UOWGO/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1295385697&sr=8-8
Every time I'd use it, I'd be able to blow my nose for like three minutes straight. It would clean me out for a little while and open my sinuses at least a crack. It's cheap too. Try it, hopefully it'll work for you.
I get yearly afflictions around the same time annually. I've only gotten "sick" sick about 4 times in as many years, but the last 3 times were actually something to seriously worry about (some sort of virus eventually leading to a bacterial infection, or vice versa, or both at the same time). The first time I was hit with it, I was literally sick with it for about 4 months, no joke.
Also, LeBron is making a kids' cartoon show, you can watch on YouTube:

The hell..
PS- the combination of post moves, strength, athleticism, and jumpshooting reminds me of Karl Malone. Love to see him go glass, btw.
The next LAL v LAC game will be a bloodbath between the champs and the young upstarts.
found this on truehoop;
Swac alert!
Most amazing, he seems like a nice guy. Of course, I can remember when LeBron seemed like a decent, grounded guy.... I wonder which way Griffin will go? I sure hope he doesn't become yet another NBA prima donna. That said, those that spend some time in college seem less likely to be psychos.
And yes, the Neilmed sinus rinse is very good. Helps hayfever, speeds recovery from colds and sinus infections. Just make sure to clean it well! Sucks to blow through so much distilled water, but it IS less irritating to sinus membranes.
This is my first season as a ticket holder, so maybe it's standard practice, but it sure doesn't instill confidence.
The best stat: Lebron James, 3PM-A, 2-10.
Since the last floor seats I bought were to watch my beloved Cavs, that shows how much I think of Blake.
Being a cavs fan is hard, but I can deal while basking in the Phoenix sun.
Josh and Dan and others that are "sick" right now. Remember that old Stephen King book, "The Stand"? Anyway, just try and make yourself comfortable.
Wow, 2 whole points from the Miami starters not named LeBron or Dwyane. No wonder the cHeat lost.
Looks like Derek Rose did a Kobe impersonation tonight: 33 points on 28 shots with only 4 assists, and the most any other Bull scored was 12? I know Noah and Boozer are out, but a point guard should try to distribute it around a bit better than that.
He pulled a Kobe in this game, a 2006 Kobe. He took "too many shots" and "didn't facilitate" mostly because his teammates brought an unholy amount of suck to the table. The only way they were going to win that game was if he physically carried them there. He almost did it too.
If Sterling ever dropped dead or sold the team (hopefully the latter) while Griffin is there, expect a nice post-season run within 1-2 years....unless their next owner is even worse than Sterling (think the Celtics going from Irv Levin to John Y Brown).
Btw, gotta love the Heat needing overtime to put up 80+ points against the Atlanta Hawks. If the "new big 3" aren't producing the team has no chance. What are the Heat gonna do when they run into Ron Artest or the Celtics again, who both actually play defense?
Anyone know who they play next?

real or fake, it sucks to be a cavs fan this year!
But you could also mention Spoelstra for not drawing up any kind of play in both situations. Or Joel Anthony who collected 16 boards (a career-high) but did not attempt any shot. Which is a first in franchise history.
How big of a douchebag is James Posey? It's apparent that B. Greezy (that's what I call him) is getting in the heads of some vets: not backing down to Lebron, tussle with Odom, dropping 47 on Posey. But Posey is the guy that brought us this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y72gBvGSFuk
this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMp-FY72_ng
and this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqfP1xJpFo4
I mean Posey is a guy who's been to the mountaintop with the Celts a few years ago. He sure didn't mind taking cheapshots and going hard at Kobe in that '08 Finals series. But in sum, it's not that surprising. He's one of the associations underrated douchebags.

Look at it this way. Had the cHeat won the game, everyone at ESPN would have said, "yeah, all you need is two superstars and the rest of the starters can just "shoot"...crack up their noses the whole game."
And no OSTERTAG!!!!!
Damn, that would be nice...
