NFL Playoffs > any game today.

[Ron]

Clippers up 57-49 at halftime. Didn't even know game was on this afternoon, was looking for tickets tonight!

[Ron]

Grant Hill enters the game at the start of the 4th quarter and gets a standing ovation in Los Angeles.

He looks in great shape.

[Basel]

Good for him. Hopefully he stays healthy the rest of the season.

[R-Star]

Coming to an exciting end here. I hope the surprises don't pour over to the Indiana game.

[Basel]

Redick with a huge triple. Paul responds with a jumper. Then Jameer misses but Crawford with an offensive foul.

[NOFX22]

Wtf how did the clippers lose at home?

[Diable]

Looks like both Crawford and Paul shot poorly from the box score. I only watched the end. That charge was a killer, but before that Orlando kept scoring on offensive rebounds.

Like a third of the Clippers losses are at home to teams they should have blown out.

[Ron]

Clippers lose the trap game.

[Basel]

What's with Orlando coming into LA twice this year and winning? Damn.

[R-Star]

After a slow start the Pacers are off to a tear even without Paul George in the lineup.

Weirdly enough Orlando Johnson has impressed me on a few plays.

When Big Baby is healthy they've been a big surprise this year. One of those teams full of good role players who play spoiler for the good teams.

Sounds stupid, but they had about as impressive of a 10 game losing streak as you can possibly have that ended today. Other than the home loss to Toronto, every other game was close and truly could've gone either way. A couple tough OT losses (at Portland, Miami), a few other heartbreakers (by 3 at Denver, 2 against Chicago, 3 against Utah) and all of them came without Big Baby. Vucevic has really grown up the last few weeks and looks like the steal of the Howard trade. Afflalo, Nelson and Redick have all been good and the whole team is playing together and playing hard every night, so as a fan I can't really ask for much more. It was nice to see them finally pull this one out today.

I've found myself rooting for you guys ever since our meeting in the playoffs last year. I know I'm probably one of the only ones, but I think Big Baby is one of the most underrated guys in the league.
