http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...=simmons/060505You know it's a bad sign when an overtime game ends with a buzzer-beater, followed by the postgame studio guys (in this case, Barkley and Kenny) laughing uproariously because the defensive intensity made Isiah's defense on Magic during the 1992 All-Star Game look chippy by comparison.

As reader Sly Cooley points out: "Is it possible that the greatest moment in Clippers history is tanking that Memphis game and getting the sixth seed? Suddenly they are lined up to cruise into the Western Conference finals (as you predicted). As a diehard Clips fan for 20 years, it is nice to see that knowing how to lose finally paid off." Amen, Sly Cooley. Amen.

Thanks for the link. Good stuff there.

Simmons really shines when talking about the NBA, and I only somehwat follow the sport, but that's when he's in his element. I can never get enough of him making fun of Isaiah Thomas.
