Looks like Darko is slowly inching his way into the All-Star game.

KG gone
Elton gone

The plan is working

Al Thorton your pt just went way up, same with Paul Davis, (msu boy) Tim Thomas, and Crazy Chris Kaman.

It's a shame because I have always liked him even when he was at duke

To bad for EB and the Clips.. First livingston and now Brand. They can never get a break in getting out of the Lakers basement....Well it opens up a spot for C-webb who may not mind rekindling things with Tyra while in LA??

We have to hope that CB doesn't get injured in the Team USA games and we have the same fate as Clippers..with the franchise player possibly sitting out a year.

That is why forcasting about the upcoming season is difficult; you can never predict season ending injuries. Terrible for brand and the clips.

That is why I am against "US State Department" goodwill athletic games. In the end it isn't going to change the mind of terrorists or our trading partners, who are motivated by money, not goodwill athletic games.

Agreed.

But it sure is fun trying and bantering differences of opinion about. After all that is a big part of sports fans do, even "casual internet ones".

This is sad. Not like Clippers were going anywhere, but the guy is fun to watch.

Successful operation completed today.


His ruptured Achilles tendon, injured at a workout, is repaired. His agent doesn't rule out a return this season.
