• This is kind of odd… Cuttino Mobley kinda/sorta accuses certain Clipper players of not giving their all in Game 7 against the Suns. The word “sacrifice” is used, as in, some players refused to do any of it. Sadly, I didn’t get to see the game, so I don’t have a clue who he’s talking about. Chris Kaman only played 20 minutes in the game… anyone else have any ideas?
• So, I guess we can expect very little turnover of the Spurs roster (gracias, Yay! Sports). The only guy who’s contract is up is Nazr Mohammad, whose value has to be at an all-time low point right now. He wasn’t able to play in the series against the Mavs, because he was a defensive liability against the Mavs athleticism. But it’s still hard to see the Spurs letting him go… if they do, their back-up bigs are Robert Horry, Rasho Nesterovic, and Fabricio Oberto. Not pretty. The Spurs are going to have to be really creative in finding a way to make their roster younger and more athletic.
• Not at all sports-related, but… I may have a new hero. A crazy Lithuanian bastard was pulled over for some erratic driving the other day. He took a breathalyzer test, and he blew a number more than twice the amount of alcohol that’s supposed to kill someone. The legal limit in Lithuania is 0.4 grams per liter. 3.5 grams per liter, and you’re likely to be dead. This fuck blew a 7.27. And he was smiling the entire time police questioned him. I know he committed a crime, but… this is an accomplishment. I hope he gets the really nice jail cell.

The Big Picture
you sure that crazy Lithuanian bastard isn’t Eddie Sutton?

MJD,
Mobley is apparently referring to Magette’s Iversonesque performance. I haven’t seen a black hole like that since Contact. You would have thought it was a meaningless game in Feb the way Corey was playing for stats.

Supposedly the Spurs were trying to deal for J.R. Smith at the trade deadline (for Brent Barry), so maybe they’ll revisit that deal in the offseason in order to get younger/more athletic.
