37 of 47. LeBron napa valley wine tour James has made 37 of his last 47 shots. That s just ridiculous. Against the Clippers he was on point, scoring 30 points to go along with five rebounds and six assists in just 31 minutes. He missed more free throws (8 of 11) then field goals (9 of 11). What s possibly more absurd is that the Heat were 15 of 27 more downtown (55.6 percent), giving the Clippers but no shot at winning their first game where everyone was healthy. (Grant Hill? Trey Thompkins, anyone?). This one was ugly, and I m already getting nauseous thinking about it. Onto Last Call:
I recently heard an interesting interview with Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts in which Watts explains his unique role in the band. In basically every other rock band, the drummer sets the beat and the band follows. The drummer is foundational. But not in the Stones. Legendary rhythm guitarist Keith Richards sets the tempo and Watts follows, cuing off Richard napa valley wine tour s strum hand. In other words, napa valley wine tour Watts is considered a great drummer DESPITE NOT PERFORMING THE MOST BASIC FUNCTION OF A ROCK DRUMMER.
The Clippers couldn t do anything to stop a humming Miami offense. With an insanely efficient Lebron James as the focal point, Vinny Del Negro had to pick his poison on the defensive end. Either commit to stopping Lebron s penetration at the expense of weakside defense or instruct defenders to stay home on their man around the perimeter allowing Lebron free reign.
The team defense employed by the Clippers isn t sophisticated enough to accomplish both. Whenever they would commit to stopping a particular aspect of the Heat s attack, Miami would adjust accordingly and exploit napa valley wine tour the advantage.
This game says a lot more about Lebron and the Heat than it does about the Clippers. You can count on one hand the number of times tonight s starting lineup has played together napa valley wine tour this season. While the Heat are spectacular, Chris Paul and the Clippers won t take any pride in their performance for this nationally televised main event.
Barring any further setbacks, Los Angeles will finally know what they have around or just after the All-Star break. It s frustrating to Clipper fans, drunk off of early-season contender talk, dealing with the Grammy road-trip and an injury hangover.
But to build a good stew, the base requires patience; drawing all the nutrients from the stock, layering in the herbs on a slow burner, allowing deep flavors to develop. Will this meal hit the right notes? Los Angeles finally has all their ingredients. Now it s a waiting game to see if they can be married.
Don't look now, but with the Clippers losing napa valley wine tour eight of their last 11 games, they only have have a one-game lead in the loss column (35-17) over the Denver Nuggets (32-18) and the Memphis Grizzlies napa valley wine tour (31-18). What once stood as an impressive 32-9 record, tied with the Oklahoma City Thunder for tops in the league, napa valley wine tour has now become a small lead over the four and five seed.
The Clippers have lost almost all room for error, and will have to be on their best behavior down the stretch of the season just to secure homecourt. The next six games are rough — at New York, at Philadelphia (b2b), napa valley wine tour vs. Houston, at the Lakers (b2b), vs. San Antonio and vs. Utah — so if the Clippers aren't careful, they may have much more significant problems — such as winning three series on the road en route to the finals — than just their health.
