I’m Going to Miss Eric Gagne

Today in the LA Times there is a half page ad from Eric Gagne to the fans of Southern California. It reads:
“To the fans of Southern California and the city of Los Angeles, it was a privilege and an honor…”
Thank you for […]

What a Disappointing Season for Clippers

The Clippers lost last night to the Houston Rockets and although it was a close game, this game and the Clippers season were over a long time ago.
Sam Cassell missed his 3rd straight game due to back spasms and Corey Maggette went 3-15 shooting and that was pretty much it for the Clippers.
Elton Brand turned […]

Lakers Can’t Hit a J to Save Their Life

Kobe Bryant had an off night (7-26 from the floor) and the Lakers lost to the worst team in the NBA.
Lamar Odom had a “good” game with 16 boards and 11 assists but he only had 3 points and if the Lakers are going to win this guy needs to score.
Walton and Parker both turned […]

LA Dodger Notes

The Dodgers picked up outfielder Brady Clark from the Brewers to replace the injured Jason Repko in exchange for starter/reliever Elmer Dessens.
This deal works out great for the Dodgers because Elmer Dessens was questionable to make the Dodgers major League Ball Club and Dessens had a guaranteed contract so he was […]

Kobe Bryant: 268 Points and 11 Assists

I’ve been a big fan of Kobe Bryant ever since he came into the league but I have to be honest with you. I wasn’t sure what to think when I heard about the following statistic.
In the 5 game stretch prior to the Laker game against Golden State (where Kobe had an “off” night and […]

Ben Howland is the Best Coach in the NCAA

Ben Howland and the UCLA Bruins are going back to the Final Four and personally I think Howland is doing it with a less talented team this season…
Last year Howland had Jordan Farmar who was UCLA’s go-to-guy in the clutch. The guy you could count on to make a shot with the last few seconds […]

Tough Loss For USC

This was a tough loss for the Trojans of USC but it was a loss that needed to take place.
The Trojans lost last night because they lacked the experience that can only be attained through tremendous adversity brought only by the NCAA tournamnet itself.
North Carolina and Coach Roy Hill had it. The Tar Heels took […]

The Dodgers 5th Starter Woes

Ever since the Dodgers announced that Chad Billingsley would start the year in the bullpen each one of the leading candidates for the 5th spot in the rotation has turned in at least one shaky performance.
Yesterday the leading candidate, Brett Tomko, gave up 6 runs in 4 innings. Mark Hendrickson also […]

UCLA and Pitt

LA Times
There’s an article on the LA times
website that talks about UCLA’s Aaron Afflalo scoring average being down this
post season. Here are some numbers for you to look at:
In UCLA’s last four games, Afflalo is shooting 31.9%
(15 of 47) from the field and is six of 23 in three-point shots. His scoring
average, which was almost […]

USC Comes Up Big Against Texas

The USC  Trojan Basketball team played probably
their best game of the year yesterday to defeat a Texas Team that features
arguably the best player in college basketball (Kevin Durant).
Coming into this game all anybody wanted to talk about
was Texas start freshman Kevin Durant and D.J. Augustine. Part of this “bias”
has to do with the Trojans […]
