We opened the week by ripping the Clippers' front office for making it rather difficult to figure out what the plan is in Hollywood these days. The first Chris Kaman-to-Charlotte rumor didn't do a whole lot to change the attitude here.

Brandon Roy is the type of guy you want to build your franchise around. He is unselfish, well-behaved, a natural leader, and as he keeps reminding us, a stone-cold killer in crunch time.

Interesting note by Kevin Henkin on Big Baby's new mid-range jumper:
Early in the season, Davis unveiled a new mid-range jumper and was hitting it with some surprising frequency. Some, including me, wondered if the new weapon in the Glen Davis arsenal had come under the guidance...

Most years I try to follow a 15 game rule. Meaning I don't judge the team till we have a good enough sample size and 15 games is as good as a number as any. Two years ago I ditched the rule early because the team was that bad. Last year I ditched it because the team was that...

What is the Clippers' plan?
Perhaps that isn't the right question. Might be a better idea to take it back a step and start from the beginning: Do the Los Angeles Clippers even have a plan?

I'm back to blogging after a baby break and this was a nice, easy game to return to. Very easy win for the men in green as the boys in white and red showed little interest in playing anything resembling defense. Some notes:

The scorers for the Knicks and Wizards deserve credit for putting up a combined 239 points last night in an excitingly high-scoring 122-117 affair between two Eastern Conference teams, one putrid and one mediocre.
