^^ I'd say more like the tin man with the scarecrow's problem
Would of liked better urgency on the defensive glass and probably him respecting Mozgov as a threat and being more physical. Overall last night was not terrible everyone was sluggish first half and DJ never found that second gear but was good nonetheless.
I'd sure hope DJ is a household name among NBA head coaches, because that's who votes for the All-star reserves.
sometimes the biggest factor in a season is injury. I'm reminded of the injury to Westbrook which destroyed the trajectory of the thunder, a team that had gone from wildcard, second round, then nba finals...a clear improvement every year. who knows how far that team could have gone.
that being said DJ's durability is a huge asset, and considering he was draftex in the second round he may yet be one of the biggest steals in history
True but considering his competition he shouldn't be getting in. Remember no more center spot. Now its F/C.
His competition:
and a few more.
He frankly just isn't deserving atm. He would make it in the East but everything is just a lot more competitive in the Wild West.
I've loved DJ's improvement, but he still needs work against the big bodies. Pek gives him a lot of trouble, he is probably the biggest body in the NBA, but other big guys give him trouble too.
If the all-star game still had a center position then we could make the argument that he should make it. With three front court spots, then I think it should be Durant, Blake, and Aldridge. I feel like Love gives almost as much as he gets, and I know he just torched us but still feel like Blake is the better defender.
Blake's definitely a better defender. Even last night, BG made Love work for his shots...they were falling in. I see Love's performance like that of a wounded animal being cornered. He was GOING to have a massive game one way or another. As far as Pek. I feel like DJ should have tried to front him more. I meant if they try a lob, DJ should be able to intercept those...at least a better shot of doing that than stopping Pek from behind.
I also think DJ has improved a great deal -at least he is going for rebounds and has the tip-out that is working. However, I think he could be so much better if he boxed-out fundamentally. He doesn't use his body to get position or root someone out, he simply uses his arms and pushes. That technique won't work against stronger opponents.
DJ has a weak base, and that will affect him in terms of boxing out and post defense, basically forever. He can't easily move people because he is lower body is not that strong, he doesn't have a wide lower body. I don't know if there's a solution for him in regards to that.
The original #6 What I noticed is that DJ's back tap is getting better. Notice how Bill's back tap goes to one of his team mates. DJ's is getting there.
Check his battle with Wilt. There are those who consider him GOAT. Most #4
Can't do Old School without ---
This is the best explanation yet, thank you. In light if this, he needs to work on fronting players and how best to utilize his length without jumping on pump fakes.
So now you need a wide bass to rebound, I guess he should be averaging more than 13 rebounds eh......?
I think your trying to hard, he's tops in the league in Offense and Defensive Rebounds, I think his rebounding is fine. After all rebounding has nothing to do with having a wide base, nor does it have anything to do with strength, it's all about knowing how the ball bounces off the rim, getting position Early, these are all things that Kevin Love is a master at, Just like Rodman whom was a 6'8 at best, skinny man. Boyyyyy I Swear. lol. The kid is till learning on the job man, we can't rush the process, even though it would be nice.
I think his rebound is fine, the team as a whole needs to help him out. He and Blake do need to learn the Concept of Ball Denial and Fronting.
I think this more explains how DJ is moved so easily in post on defense
Huh? Did you read the posts before mine and the context of my response or did you think I just randomly posted that?
I'm not talking about whether he can rebound or not, I'm talking about boxing out and man to man post defense. If you are athletic and have a nose for the ball, you can rebound, but to consistently box out big people, you need a strong lower body. To consistently prevent big people from moving you in the post, you need a strong lower body.
I'm not sure what you are referring to though...
the tip out was amazing against the wolves. Andre Bogut does the same thing with Golden State and that tip out sends it out to the shooters immediately to do some more damage. he should continue that
I was Responding To you saying you need a Strong lower base to rebound, that's simply not true. Rebounding has nothing to do with your Lower body, do you have to use it... sure but you don't need to have a strong lower base to use the power their, it's naturally the strongest muscle on the body. Rebounding is about effort, Hands, and positioning. Example: Kevin Garnet was a Great Rebounder in his prime, and he wasn't even close to being as big as DJ. I wasn't trying to be an ass, but I'll admit, I probably came off as one.
He said you need a strong lower body to box out players consistently particularly strong players like Pekovic. He never said you needed a strong lower body to rebound and its true Pekovic was overpowering DJ all night.
The thing is players like Pekovic are very rare so its not an issue for the most part. Even players like KG struggle a bit rebounding wise against stronger guys. Look at KG vs Tim Duncan head to head rebounding wise.
It looks like your not reading the posts despite Agent asking if you read the posts.
Yea, I think he still missed it. Kingkanyon, we aren't disagreeing, but you are saying a different thing from what I'm talking about. We're making different points that do not contradict each other. They are both true, lol!
You are right, you don't need a strong lower body to rebound. It's also true that you need a strong lower body to consistently box out bigger guys and to not get pushed around in the post man to man against them.
It was one of the problems Dwight had playing against Yao Ming. It's why a guy like Duncan can back guys down and move them while a seemingly more muscular guy like Howard might seem to struggle. It's why Charles Barkley was so strong in the post, it was his lower body, not his upper. Shaq too of course, though he had both. Those guys have "donks". That goes a long way in moving people down low because you don't have to use arms, you just get low and move and they move.
Yao wasn't huge in the upper body, but his legs were massive. One on one, he murdered Dwight Howard who has a big upper body, but has a weak base.
Yao vs Howard head to head:
http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... =howardw01
If you watched the games, Dwight had no clue how to work against Yao because he couldn't push him to get consistent good position, and then his outside game really wasn't effective.
My wife and I were looking at a print out of the lineups from both teams and Pekovic (285 LBS) outweighed DJ (265 LBS)by a huge margin. Twenty pounds of a difference gives on a sizable advantage on physicality when banging inside the paint. It would take a bull to matchup with Pekovic fairly
The only way to stop Pecivic is to body him up early and keep him away from his sweet spot. GOOD LUCK. I would love to see Wilt or Shaq make currant jelly out of him.
I love what DeAndre Jordan is doing for the Clippers this year, rebounding as much as he can and I think he's playing so much better because he's getting more minutes and Doc Rivers confidence in him. Vinny didn't have no confidence in him, and he didn't have enough minutes but Doc is having confidence in him and is preaching to him rebound, rebound. Just goes to show you how a coaches can change a lot of things
I hope DJ can continue this throughout the whole season.
Or "Big Bell'' Walt Bellamy, Moses Malone or even Wes Unseld.
Anybody else voting for DJ as an allstar? When he called for the ball tonight there was no hesitation. 2.3 blocks, 13 reb 9.4 points and climbing. He showed some awesome quickness in the post. Doc is calling more plays for him. I never thought I'd be saying this. He was taking charge in the huddle. He was the talk of opponents' announcers when I watched Prime Ticket East
Dj is our weapon x
What were they saying about hi? His free throw shooting needs to improve before I can say he is playing like an all star.
Also doesn't DJ have the record for consecutive games played among active players now that Andre miller got suspended
I noticed that too, and the best part was that everyone was listening intently.
Who would have thought that goofball would step up and lead the team?
I hope he keeps it up.
Didn't andre miller lose his streak when he got suspended for bulldozing BG?
http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/ ... er=ya5nbcs
As far as FT% what was Ben 41%, Wilt had six years less than 50%. Shaq had multiple years less than 50%.
FT % shouldn't be a huge issue
Yes it was
Andre will step it up and hopefully we can weather the storm. There are 3 tough games though, 3 western teams that may beat us though
Unfortunately I had to watch the S.A. call of last night's game, but they had some valid observations about DJ. He's a good shot blocker but far to often misses rotations that the great shotblockers don't. And far too often DJ brings his hands down (or swipes) when contesting shots rather than keeping his hands up, which could do wonders.
It is downright frustrating to be honest. We are among the VERY worse teams protecting the paint. Sure, Blake may be part of the problem...but other teams have PF's that do less defensively than Blake and hold teams to lower FG% in the paint than we do. And we know DJ can't handle any bulky or talented low post center man-to-man.
I say all this not because he CAN'T do these things but because I KNOW he can! He's got the size. He's got the athleticism. He seems to have the instinct at times. Honestly, he needs a Big Man coach that will teach him not OFFENSE but DEFENSE.
Cut him some slack. Remember, last yr he sucked canal water and he had the determination of a used Kleenex. We do need his offense. With BG taking more shots outside it would be nice to have somebody inside. He seems comfortable with the ball on the high pick and roll. He should be becoming the recipient. Can you imaging the paint being clogged when DJ has the ball? Keeping your hands up is easy. You just keep your hands up. He now has funkitude
I think it was Dirk. DJ had the rock and someone asked him to pass. He said something like "No I got it" and he torched the guy. There was another"up and under" where he broke the defender's ankles. Notice how well he and BG work together. All he needs is the opportunity. I think he has confidence. Do not be surprised if he's 15/15 on a consistent basis. Three assists. I was his biggest neigh sayer. As far as him guarding bigs maybe true but how many bigs can guard him?
Patience Grasshopper
Have you cast your all star vote today? Big Six
One thing I notice from both DJ and Blake is their defensive stance against their guy. They crouch down low, with their forearms against the back of the opponent's big man. As far as I can tell there only ONE advantage to that...to keep their man from backing them down. That's it. Unfortunately, it limits DJ and Blake's mobility, so it's VERY easy to spin right off of them. It also makes it more difficult to defend the jump shot because our guys have to go from the crouched position to a higher one to try to put a hand in the shooter's face. It takes more energy to do that than if they were in an already more upright position. I'm not saying they shouldn't be a little crouched, but sometimes our guys are way low to try to strengthen their center of gravity. It leaves them with no versatility on defense. A guy like DJ should never be in that position. He should be upright, able to move his feet, ready to keep his hand up and possibly block a shot. It means allowing some back down admittedly, but as long as he stays in front, he can potentially block the shot or maybe even draw a charge. That's the other thing. No way you're gonna draw a charge in the crouched position. DJ and Blake are completely immobilized on D when in the crouched position. I guess the hope is that the offensive player is both slow and can't shoot.
Just not sure about our big man coach.
yeah i think dj needs a mentor. some teams have ewing and hakeem teaching there star center how to be better. i think we need one too
DJ has been having a monster season. His defense is iffy at times but overall he has been a good defender this season while leading the league in rebounding.
Unless you were close to the glass you couldn't see how many shots he tipped or altered. he could gave had four more blocks in the first half if finger tipping counted
Baron Davis thinks Deandre should be an all star via Facebook
Actually that's how you properly defend the Paint, you want to get low and use your forearm, It gives you a stronger base so you don't get backed in easily. What you don't want to do is what they and most of the league has been doing forever, is guarding with your hands, I still don't understand that. If your going to teach somebody to defend the post, you teach them to use their Forearm and Get Low, that's why Doc is a master on DEFENSE.
I personally think DJ has played Great on Defense all year, he's going to look bad some nights, that's just going to happen when he's guarding the other teams best Post player, and he's still learning how to defend each individual player their tendencies, go to moves, and counters. I do see allot of games were DJ gets scored on in one half he turns it around in the 2nd half, but I know that your not going to stop a great player, no matter how good you are on Defense, look at Shaq vs Mutombo, or Wilt vs Russel, doesn't matter how good you are as a defender Great players will score. But why I think DJ has Been Great, is he makes it truly hard on guy's and rarely do big men score on a high percentage on him, he usually keeps them in the mid 40's.
People marvel over how great a defender Anthony Davis is, but he still gets scored on just as much-if not more than Deandre Jordan, ( NBA league Pass). Heck Blake went through him like he wasn't even there.
And he's only going to get better in the future.
He needs to be better at defending the paint before he can be DPOY - but I do think he can win most improved
He'll continue to get better in that department too.
I was one of the people that hated DJ, because he played bad, but I LOVE him this season. Best rebounder in the game right now imo. Yesterday was a showing of what he's capable of doing on defense, both him and Griffin, but too many times I see them not Challenging shots. Yesterday everyone challenged everything. THat's why I want to see them challenge shots way more. This one time DJ was guarding in the low post, his guy faked him, DJ bit, but Griffin rotated from the middle and blocked DJ's guy, cause he had nowhere to go. If they play that kind of defense, I see us with a Big 3, Twin Towers, and championship aspirations. It's just sometimes I don't see the effort to do what we did last night.
Don't know if this has been posted or not, but ESPN had the list of NBA's Top Ten centers, and DJ was on there:
TrueWARP: 8.5 | 2013-14 WARP: 4.1 | Overall rank: 20
Jordan has really become a fixture in the middle of the Clippers. He has missed just two games since the start of the 2010-11 season, and has started 187 straight games at the position. This season, he's leading the league in field goal percentage for the second straight season and is also averaging a career-best 13.4 rebounds per game.
Who was ahead of him?
1. Anthony Davis, New Orleans Pelicans
TrueWARP: 17.0 | 2013-14 WARP: 5.6 | Overall rank: 8
Davis has improved his offensive efficiency by getting to the line more often. The improvements on that end have been subtle. He's using more possessions for the Pelicans, which can sometimes mean an increase in turnovers, but his rate of miscues has fallen to a minuscule number. His improvement on defense has not been so subtle. Davis leads the NBA in shot-block rate, something he seemed preordained to do coming out of Kentucky.
2. DeMarcus Cousins, Sacramento Kings
TrueWARP: 13.4 | 2013-14 WARP: 6.0 | Overall rank: 7
Cousins has exploded on the scene this season, and if you think he is ranked too high, you didn't see him outplay Dwight Howard head-to-head in both of their meetings so far. Cousins has a league-high usage rate, and despite that hefty volume, his true shooting percentage is by far his best yet. He's also handing out more assists and grabbing more rebounds than ever before.
3. Andre Drummond, Detroit Pistons
TrueWARP: 13.3 | 2013-14 WARP: 5.3 | Overall rank: 10
The Pistons have been the league's most mercurial team, capable of beating the league's best teams and capable of getting blown out by teams in the middle class. Drummond has been a stalwart through it all. He leads the league in offensive rebounds, both in raw total and percentage. His overall rebound percentage also leads the league. By and large, Drummond is putting up the same excellent numbers he did as a rookie, only he's doing it in 12 more minutes per game.
4. Dwight Howard, Houston Rockets
TrueWARP: 12.2 | 2013-14 WARP: 5.3 | Overall rank: 11
Howard is having a better statistical season than he did during his one season with the Lakers. However, he's still well off the level of play he established in Orlando. Howard is having an excellent season -- see the No. 11 overall rank in WARP above -- but his shot-block percentage is down by a full percent and he's averaging his fewest minutes per game since his rookie season.
5. Tim Duncan, San Antonio Spurs
TrueWARP: 10.4 | 2013-14 WARP: 3.5 | Overall rank: 31
Duncan struggled early in the season, and his overall PER is the lowest of his career. However, that worst-ever PER is still 20.7, which is a strong statement about just how great and consistent Duncan has been. His shooting percentage was well on the road to recovery in December, and the rest of his game seems to be intact.
6. Joakim Noah, Chicago Bulls
TrueWARP: 9.6 | 2013-14 WARP: 3.8 | Overall rank: 25
Noah was supposed to relinquish some of the larger offensive load he carried last season, but another major injury to Bulls star Derrick Rose snuffed out that plan. Chicago is again running much of its offense through the skilled Noah. This season, he's struggled to finish at the basket. However, his playmaking is even better, and he's taking better care of the ball. The defense is still there, as are all the intangibles you'd want in a third wheel.
7. Al Horford, Atlanta Hawks
TrueWARP: 9.0 | 2013-14 WARP: 3.6 | Overall rank: 30
Horford was having a career season before going down with a season-ending pectoral tear. Before that happened, Horford had become a high-usage big man who kept his efficiency high. He also remained an underrated post defender at the other end.
8. Brook Lopez, Brooklyn Nets
TrueWARP: 8.9 | 2013-14 WARP: 2.7 | Overall rank: 52
Lopez's PER has improved for three straight seasons, reaching a career-best 25.7 in 17 games in 2013-14. That's where it will stay, too, as Lopez sits out the rest of the campaign with yet another foot injury. He has become the most skilled scoring center in the league, so let's just hope his latest procedure can keep the foot injuries at bay.
9. DeAndre Jordan, Los Angeles Clippers
10. Marc Gasol, Memphis Grizzlies
TrueWARP: 8.1 | 2013-14 WARP: 1.4 | Overall rank: 107
Gasol's shooting numbers were down from last season at the time he was hurt, but he was occupying a larger share of the Grizzlies' offense. His shot-blocking was off as well, but nevertheless, you can bet Memphis is eager to get Gasol back.
That's an improvement. Top 10 this year and top 5 next year. But wait why isn't Hibbert in that list?
Then there other sites which have him ranked higher:
http://www.hoopsstats.com/basketball/fa ... s/14/6/eff
http://www.boxscoregeeks.com/players?di ... 8=✓
Seems like "all" sites have him in at least their top 10.
Good for DJ.....and the Clippers.

I've been noticing a lot of repeat threads and thread abuse in general. It's a pain for mods to constantly have to merge or delete the same threads over and over so people need to be more aware.
If we delete or merge a thread, it's for a reason. Going and making it again 5 minutes later will get you a warning.
ALWAYS look for a similar thread before making one. I merged and titled the official coach thread for a reason so do NOT put new coaching rumors in separate threads please. All this does is create forum clutter and it's pointless to discuss the same topics in two places.
What this basically comes down to is me asking people to please be more aware. Mods don't accidentally merge or delete threads. Thank you all for your contributions to this forum and taking the time to read this.
<goes to make a new thread about making new threads>
Boomrizzle gotta warn you for making light of this, negged. Doesn't seem you read the thread at all. The issue isn't making threads, but rather making threads that are already up. Let mods do their job.
Hey guys- I realize that sometimes accidents happen and a new topic is posted that already exists. No problem there. There are built-in mechanisms that will prevent users from creating a new thread for a week if the user has less than 3 reps and the topic gets merged. But feel free to post a new topic when applicable and if you find that your thread is gone, please contact myself or a mod if you can't find where it was merged into.
Thanks everyone!

Industry Studies
What is Industry Studies?
The intellectual roots of industry studies can be traced to the economists Adam Smith (1723-1790) and Alfred Marshall (1842-1924), who demonstrated that the scientific foundation of economics and its social effects are enhanced by grounding analysis in the practical experience of industry and in the direct observation of production processes. Modern economics began with Adam Smith's visit to a pin factory, which helped him explain how the division of labor worked (The Wealth of Nations, Chapter 1). In his preface to Industry and Trade (1919), Alfred Marshall explains that he had a career-long practice of visiting manufacturing plants so that he might be better informed by the experience:
"Nearly half a century has passed since I set myself the task to obtain some insight into industrial problems by obtaining leave to visit one or more representative works in each chief industry. I tried to get such a knowledge of mechanical technique...as would enable me to understand the resources and the mode of operation of all elementary plants in general use; I sought also to study the relations between technique and the conditions of employment for men and for women."
In Memorials of Alfred Marshall, Arthur Pigou, a former student of Marshall's, explains why this was important:
"What [Marshall] aimed at in all of this was to get, as it were, the direct feel of the economic world, something more intimate than can be obtained from merely reading descriptions, something that should enable one, with sure instinct, to set things in their true scale of importance, and not to put in the forefront something that is really secondary merely because it presents a curious problem for analysis."
It is for such reasons we believe that the results of industry studies research, grounded in observation and integrated with theory and analysis, contribute importantly not only to academic knowledge, but also to the industries studied and to public policy.
Scholars who pursue studies in this tradition come from a wide variety of disciplines such as management, the social sciences, industrial and labor economics, operations research, engineering, law and public policy. They may focus their attention on particular industries or occupations, or conduct cross-industry analysis. Whichever may be the case and from whatever disciplinary tradition, industry studies scholars make the kind of personal investment of time that is necessary to learn about the markets, firms, and institutions in the industry or industries they study. This kind of engagement, which includes close interaction with industry practitioners and often includes direct observation at the plant or firm level, allows industry studies scholars to pursue academic research from a broad and deep basis of understanding about the subject of their analysis. Its effect is evident in the selection of research questions, the methodologies employed, the nature of related analysis, and/or the interpretation of findings.

MOAB, Utah � Citing liability concerns, state officials have barred an outfitter from using a southern Utah arch for what�s billed as the world�s largest rope swing.
The School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration, or SITLA, last month informed Sandy-based Utah High Adventure that it could no longer take paying clients to Corona Arch just west of Moab.
SITLA general counsel John Andrews told The Salt Lake Tribune that while the arch is now closed to commercially guided outdoor activities, it remains open to private parties interested in swinging, climbing and rappelling.
�If people want to huck themselves off a cliff or arch that�s their business,� he said. �There is a general principle that owners who hold their land open for recreational use are insulated from liability. We felt there was more risk (exposure to the state penalties) if someone operated under a permit and someone got hurt.�
Last year, Corona Arch became the site of �the granddaddy of all cheap thrills� after climbers set up a rope with a 250-foot pendulum swing through the geological feature. It was made famous by YouTube videos that went viral.
Thrill seekers free fall for 130 feet before the rope becomes taut, swinging them just above the sandstone floor before soaring skyward through the arch. They fly up to 200 feet above the ground, and enjoy six or seven swings before being lowered to the ground.
�It�s a bummer they closed it, but I can understand where they are coming from,� Thad James, owner of Utah High Adventure, told the Tribune. �If you don�t do it exactly right, you can die.�
He said he�s concerned amateur jumpers, drawn to the arch because of its newfound notoriety, may put themselves at risk.
Anchors for the ropes must be set just right or jumpers risk swinging into the far leg of the arch or back into the cliff. And rope lengths need to be calibrated to safely navigate the 140-foot height of the arch.
There were no mishaps during the four months SITLA allowed James� company to access the arch. About 100 clients paid $200 each to swing under the arch during that time.

I went to bed last night (slightly later than I had hoped) feeling very pleased with myself, I had managed to clear a name off my list of unidentified wives. Every time I opened up my family history software (Family Historian) the alphabetical list of names begins with a section of seventeen women whose surname is unknown, and it has been bugging me that I haven't found out who they are.
I hadn't really set out to try and clear any of them last night, I didn't really know what I was going to work on, but I ended up picking the first name off the top of the list and looking again at trying to find out who she was. The first name on the list was Alice, the first wife of George KINGHORN the son of Thomas KINGHORN the mail guard (my 4x great-grandfather).
I think George is probably the only one of Thomas' children to remain in Carlisle, Cumberland, the rest appear to have moved down to London. The marriage of George KINGHORN and Alice should have taken place in Carlisle, the other end of the country from me, which explains why I hadn't got around to identifying her yet.
Having reviewed the data and available online databases I found that there was still not much chance of finding her maiden name, George KINGHORN is in FreeBMD, marrying in Q1 1840 in Carlisle Registration District, but none of the spouses on the same page are named Alice. The most likely scenarios seemed to be that this was another George KINGHORN and that my George married prior to the start of civil registration in 1837, or that Alice wasn't her real name but a nickname.
With nothing better to do I thought I would work forward and fill in some more detail on the family. It appeared I didn't have an entry for the family in the 1851 census, but this turned out to be incorrect. I had entries for everyone except George and Alice's daughter Sarah KINGHORN, so I decided to go in search of her. It was then that things started slotting into place.
She was living in Wetheral, Cumberland, with her uncle Thomas CARR and his mother Sarah CARR. Could Thomas be the brother of Alice? Both Thomas and Alice CARR were baptised in Carlisle, the children of Thomas and Sarah CARR (according to the IGI). Things were looking promising. Even Alice's age was about right, this had to be her, but when did she get married and why was she not showing up as marrying George KINGHORN.
Searching FreeBMD for Alice's marriage brought up the same details as George, Q1 1840 and Carlisle Registration District, so why hadn't I found her before? Looking closer I noticed she was listed as being on page 25C of the register whereas George was on page 25 (both were in volume 25).
Something is not quite right with the index, there are eight people listed on page 25 and only one on page 25c, I don't know what that extra C means, but it does mean that there is an odd number of people getting married in Carlisle that quarter.
It also means that there is still an element of doubt in my mind, there is enough evidence for me to identify the Alice in my database as Alice CARR daughter of Thomas and Sarah CARR, but I won't 100% until I have seen a copy of the marriage certificate or the entry in the parish register.
I have solved one mystery but uncovered another. What does the C in the page number in birth index mean?

The continued high growth rate of research publications in bioinformatics has led to a torrent of new data relevant to understanding life and promoting human health. To keep up, the biological community has built up some very large ontologies (many tens of thousands of terms) identifying the basic phenomena of interest, as well as databases of organism models linking these terms to particular genes of interest, based on published evidence.
Carefully managed databases provide structured and continuously updated information from a dizzying variety of biomedical data sources. The global move toward electronic patient records and patient-based social networking sites has the potential to provide far deeper insight into disease progression and the effectiveness of therapy than ever before possible. However, the computational challenges in effectively exploiting all of this information are immense.
In this talk, I will describe some surprisingly effective, recent computer systems that integrate natural language processing, semantic data integration, automated inference, and visual analytics to support knowledge-based data analysis at genomic scale. I will also speculate about future developments, argue that biomedicine provides the most likely context for the first solution of an AI-complete problem, and try to explain why that is.Bio:
Dr. Lawrence Hunter is the Director of the Computational Bioscience Program and of the Center for Computational Pharmacology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and a Professor in the departments of Pharmacology and Computer Science (Boulder). He received his Ph.D. in computer science from Yale University in 1989, and then spent more than 10 years at the National Institutes of Health, ending as the Chief of the Molecular Statistics and Bioinformatics Section at the National Cancer Institute. He inaugurated two of the most important academic bioinformatics conferences, ISMB and PSB, and was the founding President of the International Society for Computational Biology. Dr. Hunter's research interests span a wide range of areas, from cognitive science to rational drug design. His primary focus recently has been the integration of natural language processing, knowledge representation and machine learning techniques and their application to interpreting data generated by high throughput molecular biology.
Franz created a first prototype of AllegroGraph in 2005 for a DOD conference on the Semantic Web. It was so well received that we have been working on it ever since. Currently we have more than 15 active, full time developers working on the product and we are at version 4.0. We have a respectable user base that is helping us to fund further development.
In my talk I will cover several topics.
Dr. Jans Aasman, CEO of Franz Inc. started his career as an experimental and cognitive psychologist, earning his PhD in cognitive science with a detailed model of car driver behavior using Lisp and Soar. He has spent most of his professional life in telecommunications research, specializing in intelligent user interfaces and applied artificial intelligence projects. From 1995 to 2004, he was also a part-time professor in the Industrial Design department of the Technical University of Delft. Jans is currently the CEO of Franz Inc., the leading commercial supplier of Common Lisp and scalable RDF database products that provide the storage layer for powerful reasoning and ontology modeling capabilities for Semantic Web applications. Dr. Aasman has gained notoriety as a conference speaker at such events as Semantic Technologies Conference, International Semantic Web Conference, Java One, Linked Data Planet, INSA, GeoWeb, ICSC, RuleML and DEBS.
Gambit is a complete development system for the Scheme programming language which includes an optimizing compiler, and interpreter and debugger. The system has evolved over more than 20 years from a research project into a robust implementation suitable for commercial development. It has been used for implementing other languages, distributed systems, and computer games. The talk presents an overview of the system from a user's perspective and also its evolution and implementation, particularly the portable Scheme to C compiler.Bio:
Marc Feeley has always had an interest in the implementation of programming languages. His first compiler compiled BASIC to native code on a 48K Z-80 based TRS-80. A BYTE special issue of Lisp got him hooked on the language in 1979. He has been studying and implementing Lisp, Scheme, Erlang, JavaScript and related languages since 1985. His main interests are in dynamic languages, parallel processing, embedded systems and optimizing compilers. Over the past few years he has served as editor in chief of the R6RS and on the Scheme Language steering committee. He is a professor at the departement d'informatique et recherche opétionnelle de l'Université de Montréal.
One of Common Lisp's great strengths is the high-quality ANSI standard. However in these days of popular and successful languages defined by de facto specifications, dominant implementations, and benevolent dictators, not everyone sees the standard as an unmitigated benefit. Especially frustrating to many new Lispers is the seeming impossibility of reopening the standard to just fix a few things or to standardize a few areas not currently covered. This talk will discuss the history of how the Common Lisp standard came to exist, why it will probably never be changed, and what that means for the future of Common Lisp specifically and Lisp generally.Bio:
Peter Seibel is either a writer turned programmer or programmer turned writer. After picking up an undergraduate degree in English and working briefly as a journalist, he was seduced by the web. In the early 90s he hacked Perl for Mother Jones Magazine and Organic Online. He participated in the Java revolution as an early employee at WebLogic and later taught Java programming at UC Berkeley Extension. He is also one of the few second generation Lisp programmers on the planet and was a childhood shareholder in Symbolics, Inc. In 2003 he quit his job as the architect of a Java-based transactional messaging system, planning to hack Lisp for a year. Instead he ended up spending two years writing the Jolt Productivity award-winning Practical Common Lisp. His most recent book is Coders at Work, a collection of Q&A interviews with fifteen notable programmers and computer scientists. When not writing books and programming computers he enjoy practicing Tai Chi. He live in Berkeley, California, with his wife Lily, daughters Amelia and Tabitha, and dog Mahlanie.
The release of F# 2.0 makes functional programming a viable choice for mainstream development in the context of .NET. We'll look at the evolution that set the scene for F#: the web and multi-core changes that have taken place in the industry to make functional programming more relevant, the long and rich history of functional programming itself, through to the technical stuff: the introduction generics in .NET, LINQ in C# and the evolution of F# itself. We'll look at F# today including its parallel and asynchronous programming support, and sneak a preview of F# 3.0 as we integrate a world of data into the functional programming experience.Bio:
Don Syme is a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research, Cambridge. He is the designer of the F# language, recently released as F# 2.0. He is also the co-designer and co-implementer of generics for the .NET CLR, now used as a fundamental part of the programming models of C# and VB in Mono and Microsoft implementations.
The theme of my talk is why Lisp is a great choice for highly ambitious software products, and has consistently been my choice over a nearing-50-year-long career. I will focus on two such choices. The first was made for G2, the real-time expert system product of my 1986 startup, Gensym Corp. -- a choice that was key to G2's becoming arguably the most successful commercial AI product of that era. It is today a 23-year-old product that continues to run mission-critical industrial applications worldwide. The second choice was made for the two products of my 2010 startup, Expressive Database: EXP DB, a novel database that can hold billions of highly semantically and contextually organized expressions, and EXP READ, an natural-language-to-EXP translator, built upon EXP DB, which aims to achieve near-human-level NLU. Among other unequaled capabilities, Lisp's support for data abstraction through macro definition is critically important to the success of all these ambitious products, and Lisp's model of software that can dynamically change as it continues to run in real time was central to many of G2 customers' application successes. For G2, I will illustrate these points with many anecdotal and sometimes outrageous application examples -- at NASA, at Aughinish Alumina, at Intelsat, at Lafarge, at Siemens, and at Nabisco. For EXP DB and EXP READ, I will explain how various of Lisp's good ideas can be adapted to the AI Holy Grail problem of NLU ("Natural Language Understanding"), how Lisp is needed to support the simple-on-the-surface-but-complicated-underneath data abstractions of expressive databases, and why I believe NLU will first be seriously "solved" using expressive databases (or something akin thereto). I plan to start my talk with a few nostalgic reminiscences from the early days of G2, and end it by reiterating how critically important Lisp can be to the success of highly ambitious software products.Bio:
Lowell Hawkinson has had a long, Lisp-based career, beginning at Yale
as an undergraduate in 1962. There, he built a Lisp interpreter and
compiler called YULISP, which had a rather sophisticated relocating
garbage collector -- perhaps the first instance of this kind of
garbage collector. From 1963-65, he worked under the mentorship of
Harold V. McIntosh while at various university postings (McIntosh
sponsored the first International Lisp conference, in Mexico City in
1963.) From 1965-67 he led the effort to implement Lisp 2, a
John-McCarthy-sponsored and ARPA-funded intended successor to Lisp
1.5. From 1973-83, he worked in Lisp on natural-language-based
knowledge representation at MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science. In
1983 he went to Lisp Machines, Inc., first as a general manager, then
as development manager for PICON, a real-time expert system tool built
in Lisp. From 1986-2007, with a couple of breaks, he was chairman &
CEO of Gensym Corp., a software company with a Lisp-based real-time
expert system product G2 that grew from an 8-person startup to a 300+
person public company. As of 2010 he has a new startup, Expressive
Database, that is using Lisp for building a novel "expressive
database" product, and then an NLU product on top of that.

I don't worry a great deal about the number of visitors my blog gets, I don't go out of my way to market the blog, but I do keep an eye on my stats, just to make sure that people are still reading my blog and I am not wasting my time.
Last year I encountered an increase in visitors when Who Do You Think You Are? was being broadcast on BBC One last year, and this year was much the same. When I wrote about each episode my number of visitors jumped. I haven't done the maths, but I would say the number of visitors probably doubled, which for my little blog is not a huge number, but still quite pleasing.
I certainly wasn't expecting what happened yesterday, which turned out to be the best day ever for the number of visitors to my blog. I knew something was up when I checked my stats in the morning and saw that the number of visitors before about 7.30am was more than the usual pre-WDYTYA? daily totals. The numbers continued to rise throughout they day, and as you can see from the graph below the total ended around four or five times the average.
The reason for this was BBC buzz, which had automatically found my blog posts about WDYTYA? and was displaying links to them alongside the programme information on the BBC website. It appears to be a new feature, and it apparently likes my blog posts.
If I was a professional blogger I would have done something to take advantage of all this new traffic, and I might have done if I wasn't at work, but it has been a real eye-opener, and makes me think about what I could achieve in terms of visitors if I really put my mind to it.

JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
With formidable oratory, an instinctual grasp of political choreography and great self-possession � even intellectual generosity � in the face of hate, the civil-rights martyr Martin Luther King Jr. was not a one-trick-pony.
On Monday, Fort Lewis College observed the national holiday that bears King�s name with a series of events as diverse as the reverend�s skills.
More than 200 people marched from the Center of Southwest Studies to the Student Union Building, singing the phrase �We are not afraid,� as nonparticipating students gave marchers thumbs up.
Inside the Student Union, FLC President Dene Kay Thomas delivered a rousing speech about college values and the vibrancy of campus campaigns for social justice before hundreds, many straining to glimpse her, their view obstructed by masses of tightly packed bodies.
Using a recent string of hate graffiti, scrawled in buildings and on sidewalks as examples, Thomas denounced the swastikas and anti-gay slurs that have marred the campus.
�I know today we still have incidents � people who feel threatened, acts of hate committed through writing and other ways. I submit to you that people who commit acts of hate are not free themselves,� said Thomas, whose statement was met by whoops and applause.
Before Christmas, students reported three separate instances in which swastikas � the still-potent symbol of the Third Reich and the Holocaust � were scrawled on college and student properties.
One large swastika chalked on the sidewalk outside Bader A residence hall was accompanied by the message �Nazis 4 eva.�
Despite administrators� hopes and student protests, the string of hate graffiti has not abated.
FLC Spokesman Mitch Davis said a student found an anti-gay incitement to violence inside an FLC bathroom on Sunday.
In an email, Davis wrote that, �It said �kill dem fags.� We don�t know if �dem� means �them� or references Democrats.�
Davis echoed Thomas in saying such incidents remind the student body that King�s dream of equality for all remains far from realized.
Some students said the graffiti � while disturbing � distracted from deeper issues of race at FLC.
Freshman Briana Cramer said she hasn�t encountered any overt racism or sexism at FLC, but she was troubled by students� tendency to self-segregate according to race.
�In classrooms, you see students of color and white students. They definitely sit apart,� Cramer said.
After Thomas�s address, the Fort Lewis College Concert Choir sang civil-rights ballads with the conviction of melancholy angels.
None of this could prepare participants for the �Tunnel of Oppression� � a boldly imagined collection of interactive artwork highlighting the myriad ways people suffer oppression in modern society.
The artwork had attracted about 100 students, who stood waiting in line to be guided through enactions of oppression so visceral that everyone had to sign a disclaimer on entering.
Inside the exhibit, one woman started crying when confronted by a scene labeled �factory farming,� in which a young man, imprisoned within a fencing-wire cage, his mouth taped shut, stared blankly. Behind him were photos of livestock fated to become our food.
In another room, Nazi guards sprung forward, ordering the tour groups to �back against the wall� with terrifying menace. On abducting one group member, who they hustled behind an enormous black plastic curtain, gas suddenly shot from a corner of the room.
The tour was told it had just become one of the Jews exterminated in the Holocaust.
Though the �Tunnel of Oppression� was a contemporary memorial to MLK, focusing on issues that dominate today�s newspapers such as immigrants� rights and racial profiling, many FLC students were content to pay old-school homage to King and the campaigns of his time.
At the open-mic rally in the afternoon, students and faculty honored every-day heroes � with one woman delivering a benediction to her husband while another lauded the quiet heroism of lunch ladies.
One young man stepped forward, introducing himself as the president of Feminist Voice � a group at the college that is devoted to spreading awareness of feminism � before singling out his grandmother as his hero. As he talked of her unabashed liberalism, two black athletes nodded appreciatively, as did a white janitor who decided to spend his break listening to student speakers discuss inequality.
Next to the microphone in the Student Union was a large poster, baring a photograph of King above the quote, �Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better.�
The photograph was in stark black and white, whereas the students clustered around it � thanks in no small part to King � were experiencing life, education, history and the ongoing fight for social equality in Technicolor, fully awake.

COLUMBIA — South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said he's getting more questions from NFL scouts about Connor Shaw. With the senior quarterback's strong start to the season, expect those inquiries to rise.
Shaw has always been a steady leader who leaned on other Gamecock playmakers in recent years, including receivers Alshon Jeffery and Ace Sanders, and tailback Marcus Lattimore. It's a formula that has helped No. 13 South Carolina go 31-9 the past three seasons.
Now, Shaw's the main attraction for the Gamecocks' no-name offense, which built a 28-0 en route to Saturday night's 35-25 victory over Vanderbilt.
He finished 21 of 29 for 284 yards and three touchdowns against the Commodores. He also rushed for a team best 84 yards to keep Vanderbilt on its heels. Shaw showed off his arm with two first-half TD passes, fitting in the ball into tight coverage for a 12-yard scoring throw to Nick Jones and a 26-yard touchdown pass to Bruce Ellington to build the Gamecocks big lead.
"I told the receivers this week that I was going to let it fly this week," Shaw said.
The QB's play has kept the Gamecocks offense flying despite the loss of record-setting playmakers. He's 19-4 as a starter since taking over the starting job from oft-suspended quarterback Stephen Garcia in 2011.
The Gamecocks (2-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) had a season-best 579 yards of offense, the most in two season since South Carolina's then-sophomore Shaw threw for four touchdowns and amassed 639 yards in a 54-3 victory over Kentucky.
"This might be the best we've ever looked on offense since I've been here," Spurrier said.
Shaw's the biggest reason why.
The younger brother of former Georgia Tech and Georgia Southern passer Jaybo, Shaw came to the Gamecocks as a stellar run, so-so passing quarterback who figured to backup the highly regarded Garcia on the depth chart.
As Garcia struggled to stay eligible – he was suspended five times by South Carolina before being dismissed from the team– Shaw saw more playing time. Shaw's breakthrough game came against the Wildcats in 2011 and he's taken off from there.
The ride hasn't always been easy. Spurrier gets frustrated when he says Shaw takes off running too quickly instead of trusting the play and letting the ball go. Behind Shaw is Dylan Thompson, the more traditional pocket passer who's been a fan favorite for his ability to throw and connect on the long ball.
Shaw's dual-threat nature makes him doubly hard to stop, particularly for the Commodores. Shaw rallied the Gamecocks to a fourth-quarter touchdown in a 17-13 victory in Nashville to start the 2012 season, despite a shoulder injury from earlier in the game.
This time, Shaw simply overwhelmed Vanderbilt with his accuracy and legs.
"Their quarterback played as good of first half as he could. That throw to Ellington over the shoulder was in perfect position," Vanderbilt coach James Franklin said.
Shaw had foot surgery days after South Carolina's Outback Bowl victory over Michigan last New Year's Day and missed spring workouts. Once cleared by doctors to train, Shaw threw himself into things with a gusto that impressed his teammates.
"He's been coming to practices and stepping up and being a leader and coming out every day to work" said Ellington, who had eight catches for 111 yards.
Shaw said he's focused on making the most of his last college season. That took a hit on Sept. 7 when the Gamecocks lost 41-30 at Georgia, an early showdown for the SEC Eastern Division title.
He made sure that defeat didn't linger, leading the Gamecocks to touchdowns on his first three possessions under center – backup Thompson engineered a touchdown drive in that stretch, too – on the way to a big lead.
When Vanderbilt rallied back within 35-25 and South Carolina backed up on its 1 with almost nine minutes left in the final quarter, Shaw led a 17-play, 64-yard drive that soaked up all but 55 seconds to seal the game.
Shaw picked up two crucial first downs in the sequence, one on third-and-1 from SC's 10 and the other moments later on fourth-and-1 from the Gamecocks 45.
"I thought he had a heck of a game. He's really a good passer," Spurrier said. "Yeah, we gave him a game ball. We thought he was deserving."

The switch to daylight saving time (DST) was Sunday, March 13, 2016 at 2 a.m., where clocks were moved forward an hour. While having more daylight comes as great news, you will literally lose sleep over it.
There is no cure for spring allergies, but there are several ways in which you can manage the symptoms and alleviate how they affect you.
Pregnant women may not need to avoid travel to all areas where the Zika virus is spreading -- health officials say that, in high elevations, there is a low risk of becoming infected with the virus.
A vacation is supposed to be a time to relax, re-energize, and forget about stress and all that is wrong with the world, but this could be when the "wrong" attacks.
The pollen in the air each spring has been getting worse in recent years due to climate change, and this year may bring the worst pollen season yet, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
Flu season has started, and although so far it has not been as bad as last year's, there have been reports of some young and middle-age adults developing severe cases of influenza, according to the CDC.
Whether you drink juice, milk, tea, or coffee, you want to be sure you are drinking enough water. Hydration is key for boosting your metabolism, maintaining a healthy weight, and keeping a strong immune system.
Don't let the flu come between your winter fun. Take precaution so you can save those sick days for when you really need them!

This is one of the most bothersome trends that seems to happen every year multiple times. A guy will play way over his season average and capabilities and have their best games of the season (sometimes career) against us. That or they will have the biggest impact in a game to a point where Ralph or Mike will ask the question "Who is this guy!?" The following are instances this season. Some stand out more than others aside from the numbers they put up. I seem to post a "Bum of the game who played like he is good against us today" so rather than do that every thread...well here we are haha.
Game 1: Brandon Rush, Warriors.
Game 2: Dejuan Blair, Spurs. 20 points. Yikes.
Game 3: One of the few times it did not happen though i could cringe when Richard Hamilton would make a shot.
Game 4: Jamal Crawford, Blazers. 23 points. He is not really a bum but he should not be scoring that many points against us.
Game 5: Chandler Parsons, Rockets. This is one of the better examples. He had double digit points.
Game 6: Drew Gooden scores 18 pts.
Game 7: Gerald Wallace, Blazers. 20 pts. He is not a bum, but we made him look like Jordan out there.
Game 8: Chalmers had 18 pts.
Game 9: We kept the Laker bums at bay.
Game 10: Johan Petro, Brooks, Nets. Petro had double digit points and Brooks almost 20. Yikes.
Game 11: CJ Miles, Jazz. He had 19 points and he was playing like if he was Jordan out there, this is one of the clearer instances too.
Game 12: Some center from The Mavs had double digit points. And at crucial moments. I think his name is Mahimi. Yikes.
Game 13: Dark Milicic, Wolves. The clearest instance of a bum going off against us. He led The Wolves in scoring and I remember this one because I remember Mike Smith saying "He is at his average, 4 points so he should be done for the night" or something similar....and YIKES.
Game 14: I will leave the Raptors alone.
Game 15: Andrew Godluck, Lakers. Who? Exactly. Another perfect example of a bum going off against us. I doubt this guy scores this many points all year.
Game 16: Tony Allen had 14 points. That is 10 pts too much.
Game 17: I will leave this one alone because we won.
Like I said, some of these instances stand out more like the Milicic game, and Godluck, and I mention it because much like the Wolves and Lakers games, keeping Bums at bay can be the difference between winning or losing a game.
To be fair, you should also make a 'studs we've castrated' list for comparison.
Defense and rebounding is obviously a major work in progress. Clippers haven't learned how to step on teams when they are down. It will hopefully come with more experience.
Some of these bums as you call them are over looked imho and thats why the defense has allowed major contributions.
i agree. but there are some players we didnt account for. i wouldnt call them bums per say since they are in the NBA for a reason. but yeah there are some players we didnt take seriously and paid for it.
^ I think we've always been the kind of team that lets some nobody go mental against us, but we're also a bogey team for some really good scorers.
I agree with the post - The Reason VDN. Bad Coaching
^ You got another tune to sing, 'coach'?
i agree with that. no doubt about that.
I'm pretty sure that 4 points a game comment by Smith was about Joel Anthony, not Darko.
Actually doesn't matter to me. It's fine to let one guy go nuts if you hold the other 14 back. One guy can't win a game, a team can. And guys,,WE BOT OURSELVES A REAL TEAM FINALLY !!!!!
This team is getting it togeter and last night proved it. Now tonight,,,,yikes
DeJuan Blair should not be on that list. He's good. Also, for Gerald Wallace, we shut him out the first game we played against Portland so he had a major chip on his shoulder coming into the second game against us. But overall, I know exactly what you mean. It's very frustrating...
I thought one of the ideas of a good coach is to try to shut down the stars of a team and make the lesser players beat you.
But if the lesser players are beating us on top of the stars hitting their averages, it can get very frustrating.
He said it about Darko, I am almost certain. Him or Ralph tend to say it whenever someone who doesnt typically score scores on us.
Ha...true. But this damn problem bugs me more haha
For example, has that GoodLuck or GotLuck whatever his name is scored as many points as he did against us against anyone else this year?
(im not sure but i doubt it)
Bums is such a cruel word, I think ima change it to "guys that are not typically a concern on the scouting report" haha
Right, but when these lesser players play a key role in their team winning against us, YIKES. Like I said, the best examples are GotLuck (Lakers win) and Darko (Wolves win)...had we kept either of these two to their average or half of it they both would have been easy victories. Not only the production but its when these guys score
many teams go through this, not just the Clippers... the hated one's other side of the locker room has this tendency to have low key players/bench squatters have career games. It all depends on what the team weakness is, for Clips its rebounding... so some scrub can turn into Charles Barkley at any game.
Yeah but its different if you hold the 14 "back" and they all score double digits. It seems it was a good job but a starting lineup, or more than 2 bench guys getting double digits can be more harmful than if one or two guys score 30 or 25 or somethin
But if the lesser players are beating us on top of the stars hitting their averages, it can get very frustrating.
That's baseball. That's why you intentionally walk he star player and make the lesser player behind him beat you.
It's the opposite in basketball. Like Kobe. You're better off letting hm get his stats while you try to make sure his teammates stay stagnant.
I guess the team is sticking with the phrase "let the other guys beat us."
Defense and rebounding has improved day and night since the first 5-10 games.
The last two nights, the team allowed OKC and UTAH to score over 100. Gotta watch out for that.
I don't find it particularly troubling. We're winning. Somebody is going to score points for the opposition. Nobody ever pitches a shutout... Look at the box scores. In almost every game played, somebody steps up to double or tripple their scoring average.
It's just not a big deal...
Sessions 24 points. Varejao 15 points. Gibson 17...I mean really. Varejao making a JUMPSHOT to ice the game. I mean cmon. Todays loss against the Cavs has to be one of the must frustrating in recent memory. BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOBODY.
Cavs are a near .500 team, sadly its in the Eastern Conference. However, Sessions is no bum and if he's traded it'll be for a 1st rounder at the very least. Gibson is sorta blah but Varejao is a hustle player and is mainly in there for boards and some good D. Shockingly he lit us up tonight I mean WTF is that.
Fire VDN, Fire VDN, Fire VDN. Its called being out coached by Byron Scott
^ Off topic, repetitive nonsense.
Byron Scott whose coached 2 teams in the NBA Finals, his first time he took a 26-56 team to a 52-30 record in 1 season turnaround.
Outside of 2 crappy years ( 1 with the Cavs last year and you cannot blame him for that poor record anyone would have sucked ) and the 1 year when the Nets went from playoff team to rebuild mode, he's got a helluva winning %. Scott is PRAISED by Lebron and CP3 as a head coach and was an awesome basketball player during his career. People on this exact forum and others wanted Byron Scott to be our head coach a couple years ago. I know because I lurked around and was and am part of other NBA/Clipper forums.
479 (4th) 81 (16th) 92 (18th) 80 (5th) 17 (27th)
The Clippers are eight spots ahead of the Lakers? Yes, the times are changing in L.A. It's very possible the Clips will be Southern California's top basketball team over the next three seasons, as they've positioned themselves for a very strong run. Let's start with the players. We ranked the Clippers fourth based on the superstar nucleus of Blake Griffin and Chris Paul; while we wished they had a bit more help, the supporting cast at least possesses some solid complementary pieces and trade assets. And the market rates fifth, as the combination of coming to L.A. and playing for a winner should be a powerful lure -- as it was in their recent signing of Kenyon Martin.
Finally, the Clippers are in pretty good financial position for a contending team. They're well under the tax line and should feel free to add players via exceptions over the next couple of years, filling the roster holes on the wings and at backup center.
The worry, alas, is that these are the Clippers and they'll find a way to screw it up. We rated L.A. 16th in management, and that might have been kind. While GM Neil Olshey has mostly done good work, owner Donald Sterling is a buffoon's buffoon and head coach Vinny Del Negro still seems overmatched. The latter has an expiring deal and may not be retained, but the Clips may have trouble getting somebody better given The Donald's history of not paying his former coaches.

It's the opposite in basketball. Like Kobe. You're better off letting hm get his stats while you try to make sure his teammates stay stagnant.
Welll put.
Yeah but what stood out is when Mike Smith said "Sessions with his season high" and ohhh brother this is so frustrating to me. And I understand Irving was out but still
and yeah Varejao!!! When he hit that Jumper I felt like throwing my phone at my friend who was next to me haha
88 Wow!!!! I apologize on behalf of the Clippers for what they put you through haha
88 Wow!!!! I apologize on behalf of the Clippers for what they put you through haha
we would have won tonite if kyle had played! one bum replaced another, AND THAT BUM, SESSIONS, DID US IN! OHMEOHMY!
LOL! Good idea.
B. Haywood last game. I know it was just 10 points, but thats double his average. Had he been KEPT to his average we would have won by 1.
Against the Warriors Udoh had 19 points. 19 Points. I dont even know his first name, well he had 19 points.
Corey Brewer with a 25-point game tonight.
Somebody in every game goes well over their season average. Ramon Sessions had a season high against us. Does that mean Chris Paul sucks defensively? This doesn't prove anything but the obvious. Sometimes mediocre players have very good games.
Also somebody in every game goes well below their season average. That's why they take an average. If a guy averages 20 a game, he's not going to score between 18 ande 22 every night. He's going to have some in the 30s and a few in single digits. This proves that sometimes excellent players play poorly.
True statement, my only problem is...... why does it have to be proven with us... SMH
We do need a better defensive scheme overall I would say this team is perfectly built to be a great zone defensive team with Paul in the passing lanes Griffins strength and Jordan weak-side but it's not clicking.
I'm convinced something may be wrong with Paul he has not had a lockdown defensive game since he locked Jamal Crawford down in the 4th quarter in the Blazer game we won. Paul use to want to guard the best perimeter player now we switch him off of them. Our bigs need to more aware on D and attack the ball more without fouling. Two wing players need to rotate and and be aggressive a bump bigs out of there spots take some defensive fouls but don't let those bigs stay open when our bigs rotate.
I think its Mozgovs turn
Jordan Hamilton
It does baffle me how players you've never really heard of or are average players having career nights against us. Last night should have been a cakewalk with the lineup denver had on the court.
There are seldom cakewalks in the NBA... With 66 games this year, it's impossible for players to be fired up and mentally ready for every one of them... When top players go down, there is a tendancy for the opposition to relax... You get wound up to play Kobe, or Lebron, but when they're out of the lineup a little energy gets sapped.
The NBA season is a marathon race, not a sprint. It's like the Tour de France, with a bunch of stages. Nobody wins every stage, just like nobody wins 162 games in a baseball season. You could put an all-star team on the baseball field and they'd still lose 25% of the time at least... There are ups and downs, streaks of good luck and bad luck. Talent wins out in the long run, but not every day.
We're winning about 66% or the time. That's excellent... The reality is, we should have two or or three more wins, maybe, at most. We could also easily have a couple more losses... We're about where we should be based on our talent level, experience, chemistry and experience together.
''How is Jordan Hamilton a bum? Hamilton slipped on draft night which isn't uncommon but was a top 10 projection in the past draft year. Out of all the players in last year's draft he was deemed one of the few that could contribute and was NBA ready.
Hamilton was a great scorer at Texas which isn't a joke school to be playing at. Denver has a great cast of outside scoring and nearly everyone on that team takes turns getting 20 a night, whether it's Miller, Afflalo, Galinari, Hamilton, Fernandez etc. etc.
Rookies have great games and bad games, whether it's against a great team or a horrible team. Now if we let like Steve Novak go off for like 20 against us, that is a problem.
Corey Brewer tea-bagged my best friend when he dunked over him in an AAU tournament in high school. As far as I'm concerned, that's a greater accomplishment.
Today, Michael Beasley torched us and was shooting like if he was Larry Bird out there. The guy had not even gotten playing time of late like Mike Smith said. HE CAME OUT OF NO WHERE and killed us.
Derrek Williams? Die hard NBA fans have heard of him yes, he has potential yes, but HE IS A ROOKIE. He shoots nearly 100% and he has a season career high against us.
hey maybe after his 2nd 3 you might want to get up on him?
This is ******* disgraceful and this game was so eerily reminiscent of Clippers games in the past....but games where Rick Brunson was the point guard not someone the stature of Chris Paul.
I am just in awwwe
uh they are not bums buddy, but don't get me wrong by no means should they have the total they did....this is exactly what happens when a team does not have a defensive system and a mediocre coach
b-ez is a baller! noone should ever count this guy out, he was on fire the season he was traded to the wolves and this season benched only because he's been injured, i say he is ready to be a started again
