    They fired someone named "Del Negro"? Obviously, Sterling's racism has popped up once again.

    They'd be smart if they hired David Blatt.

    But they're the Clippers. I fully expect McMillan to be hired.

    So it's Chris Paul's team now as the player who ousts a coach. That rarely ends well for the franchise. Last time it did was Magic with Paul Westhead over 30 years ago.

    they need a guy who's gone far in the playoffs, so that eliminates Nate...and the guys who haven't even been a head coach. On paper, this is a championship team. they need a championship level coach.

    As usual in LA, once the news broke on Vinny, the sports topics of the day was all centered around the .....Lakers.

    I will be surprised if D'antoni lasts the month. The exit meetings did not go very well for V-D Negro. They seemed to have slammed him.
    VD is finally going to be eliminated in socal
