   "Steve Ballmer paid $2 billion for the Los Angeles Clippers. But a new report from the Financial Times said he might get about half of what he paid back in the form of tax benefits over the next 15 years." http://www.businessinsider.com/steve-ballmer-la-clippers-tax-break-report-2014-10 "Goodwill" tax exemption, hahaha.

   It was bad. I got sick to my stomach. I don't have a link. Don't really care to post it. I'm sure it's on YouTube already. They cancelled the scrimmage after that play. We talk on here about a guy getting injured playing in a HR derby, when basketball players are at extreme risks of serious injuries like this playing in meaningless FIBA tournaments.

    They worked hard to snatch the home-court advantage away, but the Clippers gave it back to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Or maybe the Thunder just took it back from the Clippers by pulling out a 118-112 victory in Game 3 on Friday night at Staples Center. After winning Game 1 of the best-of-...

    OK Laker fans. So what is your take on D12? We traded for him without a guarantee that he would re-sign. He hasn't given any assurances that he will re-sign. Now stories are floating about that he wants to test free agency and speak with Houston and Dallas. What are your thoughts about this guy? What would you like to see happen?
