Andrew Bynum Will Skip 2012 Olympics to Undergo Knee Procedure LA Lakers center Andrew Bynum is giving up the chance to be an Olympian this summer in favor of having the same knee procedure teammate Kobe Bryant underwent during the 2011 offseason. According to the Los Angeles Times' Mike Bresnahan, Bynum will not participate in the 2012 London Olympics because in addition to having the operation, he also wants extra rest. Bynum told Bresnahan on Friday: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1154599-andrew-bynum-will-skip-olympics-to-undergo-knee-procedure

The Clippers set a new record for the best regular season in franchise history. Even if they lose the Season's Finale, they are guaranteed a minimum winning % of .606 – the previous best regular-season % was .598 back in 1974/75: 49 -33 (.598) as the Buffalo BRAVES (1974–'75) By the way, if the Clippers could secure the 4th playoff spot, and win homecourt advantage in the First Round, it would be for the first time ever!

A 39-year old record could be broken tonight: Can The 'Cats Make History

Charlotte, (7 -57) 0.109, will look to avoid breaking Philadelhpia's record tonight. Go 'Cats!!

Yeah, the Clippers first division title in franchise history won't come this season....

^ Torres pic is nice but that Drigba one's dope - it meant the world to Chelsea!! http://www.abola.pt/img/fotos/fotosap/espanha/barcelonachelsea/drogba.jpg Also, gotta Love how he surprised Barça's GK Valdes with that 'downtown shot'!! Arguably the most exciting game ever since the 1999 CL Final, when Manchester United scored 2 goals in the last 3 minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRRU-zViicY&feature=related Last but not least, Ramires is one coldblooded son of a gun!!!

Couldn't agree more.

That's why: HANG TIME WEST – The NBA on Tuesday suspended Metta World Peace seven games for the unprovoked elbow to the head of James Harden, a discipline that will cost the Lakers their starting small forward for at least the bulk of the first round of the playoffs. World Peace Suspended Seven Games

Where's the poll?!

Game #65: LAC @ ATL 102-109 // (Record: 40-25, 4th West) http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/public/style_images/clean/team_reps/lac.png @ http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/public/style_images/clean/team_reps/atl.png Despite a season-high 70 combined points from Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, the Clippers were unable to keep pace with the Atlanta Hawks. Paul had 34 points and eight assists and Griffin scored 36 with eight rebounds.

How about "May the Force be with You, Dwyane Skywalker."

^ Dope! I love polls!! Voted 'Yes' on Earth poll.

CURRENT STANDINGS: $ħãłïq: 20 Pts (LAC @ SAC; LAC @ NJN; ATL @ LAC; MEM @ LAC; LAC @ DAL; SAC @ LAC; LAC @ OKC). ROUND 29: LAC @ ATL April 24th (4:30 PM PST)

Game #64: NOH @ LAC 107-98 // (Record: 40-24, 4th West) http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/public/style_images/clean/team_reps/noh.png @ http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/public/style_images/clean/team_reps/lac.png Chris Paul added another memorable game to his MVP-caliber season, leading the Clippers in the 107-98 win over the Hornets. Randy Foye hit 6-of-12 3-pointers for 24 points and Blake Griffin added his 40th double-double of the season!

I'm not sure a hit like that's what they needed. More like: ^ +1 to this!

I hope they won't go for something similar to the Armor logo: http://www.nba.com/nets/media/armor_btn_1112.png
