Game to pay attention to: Spurs vs. Clippers
By Kelly Dwyer
San Antonio at Los Angeles Clippers
The Clipper honeymoon appears to be over. The fans aren't happy with certain aspects of the franchise. The players don't seem to be happy, and haven't been since Elton Brand split, even while Marcus Camby was becoming a Clipper for next-to-nothing. And the impartial observer? Meh.
So this could be a real turning point, tonight. I don't think the Clippers will play past the third week of April, but games like this (at home, against a team missing its second and third-best players) could determine whether or not this squad has any interest in turning into a 40-win also-ran. If the interest isn't there, hello [heralded NCAA talent whose name I've yet to learn]!
The Spurs, meanwhile, want to win. That will never go away. Tim Duncan has a large collection of swords, so you can understand if people don't want to let him down.
San Antonio Spurs: 4-5, 85.6 possessions per game (29th-most in the NBA), 105 points per 100 possessions (16th), 107.9 points allowed per 100 possessions (23rd). New Lace Sleeves.
Los Angeles Clippers: 1-8, 92.3 possessions per game (12th), 96.3 points scored per 100 possessions (29th), 111.2 points allowed per 100 possessions (27th). Stranger in the House.

I didn't know that TD collected swords, did you?
PS I Think I might just have beaten Duncan228... Yay Me!
