The Clippers are nine up and nine down, zero wins in nine starts. They are the NBA's only winless, untied team. Their magic number is one. One over anybody.

Yeah, while the Lakers were attempting to reel in a cross-dressing power forward, the Clippers reportedly were zeroing in on a point guard named Bimbo. Bimbo's payroll name is Coles, and if Arn Tellem Arn Tellem is a player agent for various major sports and is the top agent for NBA players, having negotiated over $200 million worth of contracts for his NBA clients for the '06/'07 season alone. - the agent for Clippers point guard Pooh Richardson Jerome "Pooh" Richardson (born May 14 1966 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American former National Basketball Association (NBA) player.

It didn't happen. The game, however, was far more compelling. The Clippers' would-be heroes were forwards Lamond Murray (30 points, nine rebounds) and Maurice Taylor (23, 11). The Warriors villain was . . . Coles, who had six assists and scored 15 points, including four free throws in the last 18.4 seconds, to ice the win. That's right. The victory needed to be iced. In fact, the Clippers held a four-point lead while within sniffing distance of the two-minute warning. The Clippers' first-quarter run began with the patented preamble, a self-inflicted 9-0 lead for the opposition. The ice finally was cracked on a five-foot jumper from Taylor, who is auditioning to be known as the Clippers' best player. But Taylor's spark seemed to light a fire under teammates Darrick Martin and Murray. The Clippers unleashed a 12-0 run and led, 14-11, on Taylor's 15-footer at the 4:22 mark of the opening quarter. Taylor finished the period with nine points and seven rebounds. He and his Clippers teammates strutted to the bench with a 25-22 lead. CAPTION(S): Box Box: GAME RECAP |
