    Yep. Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders and Danny Ainge are just some of the players who played multiple professional sports

    So what happens if the player is hired by two teams that play against each other?

    Ty Lue deserves failure after what he said about Morey. What a nerve condemning someone for speaking out against tyranny because it made him and his buddies a bit lighter in the pocket. TRAAAASSHHH

    One thing you have to ask yourself if you're thinking Clippers in this game is do they want to be here?

    A win gets them a re-match series with the Suns. A loss gets them an extra long holiday. Nobody in LA will be thanking them if they win this game only to lose in the 1st round -a matchup which figures to be harder than last year since the Suns have figured them out.

    Warriors were in a similar spot last year. A win would have had them getting thumped in the 1st round by the Jazz. Not saying everyone on the roster isn't committed, rather not everyone on the roster is committed.

    If Reggie Jackson gets a fever before the game tips off, then it's not impossible that Ty Lu plays in his spot.

    I think Rake is confused again, MLB playoffs aren't until October.

    Square play is the right play here. Pels will tighten their rotation tonight I think. Coach knows who he can trust, and who he can't.

    Clippers just didn't have enough firepower. Talent won out. Maybe the trip (long flight) had something to do with it too. Jackson & Morris were the main guys punching for them but they burned out after 3Q.
