Ball Don't Lie on the Clippers

  • Clipper fans have had enough Dunleavy, thank you very much

    See, this is what happens when you lose to the Memphis Grizzlies by 10 points.

    In an online petition to Los Angeles Clippers' owner Donald Sterling and executive president Andy Roeser, disgruntled Clips fans are asking for the head of GM and coach Mike Dunleavy. Not literally, of course. Who wants that thing in a glass jar of emotion? No, they just want good ol' Dunleavy to be fired.

    As of Thursday afternoon, the petition had, oh, about 12 signatures. (What? They just put it up. Let's give it a little time to find Bill Simmons, Clipper Darrel's awesome suit, and the rest of Clips Nation.)

    Should you be interested in signing such a petition, here's a little taste of what you'll be agreeing with in the electronic document.

    Note: I've also sprinkled in some photos of the Clippers during fourth-quarter "action" to help drive home the petition's point.

  • SL: Raja Bell to have wrist surgery; Monta Ellis trade inevitable?

    Each weekday morning, BDL serves up a handful of NBA-related stories to digest with your prosciutto-wrapped crudite.

    Rusty Simmons, San Francisco Chronicle: "Newly-acquired Raja Bell told The Chronicle on Tuesday that he will have wrist surgery, a decision that adds to the Warriors' injury woes and could cost the guard the rest of the season. Bell, who was picked up from Charlotte in the Stephen Jackson trade Monday, will go back east for surgery to repair a partially torn ligament in his left wrist. He'll miss four or five weeks if the wrist is in decent shape and probably the rest of the season if screws are needed for the repair. 'I'm going into it, assuming it will be a big surgery,' Bell said. 'If I wake up and it's not, it's icing on the cake. I'm prepared for the worst-case scenario, and I'll go from there. After playing, it's pretty evident that I can't do the things I like to do and I feel would help the team the most. It's time to get it fixed.' The Warriors knew about Bell's injury when they acquired him. They encouraged the decision to go ahead with the surgery."

    Tim Kawakami, San Jose Mercury News: "Multiple sources say that, apparently at Don Nelson's urging, the Warriors have been calling teams and offering to trade Ellis in recent days. It is likely that their efforts will only intensify, barring some 11th-hour peace treaty. Ellis has four years and $44M owed to him after this season, but several sources say that he will be less difficult to trade than Stephen Jackson was. And it seems inevitable that Ellis will be traded, presuming that Nelson remains in power, and every source I've talked to believes that Nelson will remain in power. Ellis' grievances with the Warriors date to their handling of punishment for his scooter accident and to concerns about Nelson's commitment to him as a player and to Rowell's decisions as the team's No. 1 executive."
