    I wish we could find a way to bring Vogel back to the coaching staff. We could use that championship experience along with Rick.

    Laurence Fishburne & Jacki Weaver To Star In ‘The Sterling Affairs’ FX Limited Series About Disgraced LA Clippers Owner FX has given a formal green light to The Sterling Affairs, a six-episode limited series about the downfall of Los Angeles Clippers’ owner Donald Sterling amid the team’s drive to win a championship under coach Doc Rivers. Oscar-nominated actors Jacki Weaver and Laurence Fishburne have been tapped as two of the leads in the project, Donald Sterling’s wife, Shelly Sterling, and former Clippers Head Coach Doc Rivers, respectively. Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson’s Color Force (American Crime Story, Pose) is producing. The Sterling Affairs is written by Gina Welch (Feud: Bette and Joan) based on the ESPN 30 for 30 podcast of the same name reported and hosted by Ramona Shelburne. The series tells the behind the scenes story of Doc Rivers (Fishburne) and the Los Angeles Clippers’ quest to bring a championship to one of the historically worst franchises in all of sports during the impending downfall of the team’s owner, Donald Sterling, whose notoriously racist behavior is brought to light amid the power struggle between his wife of 60+ years, Shelly Sterling (Weaver), and his mistress, V. Stiviano. RELATED STORY Jeff Bridges 'Feels Terrific, Went Through Year & A Half of Bizarre Dream' Before Completing 'The Old Man' For FX The Sterling Affairs will be executive produced by Welch, Jacobson and Simpson of Color Force and Shelburne. Kevin Bray will direct the first block and serve as an executive producer on those episodes. Nellie Reed of Color Force and Rembert Browne will serve as Producer. The series will be produced by FX Productions. “Gina Welch has done a tremendous job of adapting this story for FX, showing the historic resolve and grace of Doc Rivers and the Clippers players during this shocking event,” said Nick Grad, FX’s President, Original Programming.. “Building on Ramona Shelburne’s groundbreaking reporting, Gina, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson delve even deeper into this pivotal moment in modern sports.” Fishburne’s Cinema Gypsy Productions, which he founded with Helen Sugland, produces ABC’s long-running comedy series black-ish, in which Fishburne also stars, and its spinoffs. Currently seen in Peacock’s MacGruber, next up for Fishburne is Netflix’s The School for Good & Evil, John Wick: Chapter 4, Amazon’s All the Old Knives, Marvel’s Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur for Disney+, and American Buffalo on Broadway. Fishburne is repped by CAA, Landmark Artists Management, and Del Shaw Moonves Tanaka. Currently, Weaver is wrapping a role on the new Apple TV+ series, Hello Tomorrow! opposite Billy Crudup. On the film side, she can next be seen in Father Stu opposite Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson, for Sony Pictures that will be released later this year. On the TV side, Weaver can also be seen recurring in Taylor Sheridan’s series Yellowstone for Paramount+. Weaver is repped by ICM Partners, Elevate Entertainment and Felker Toczek Suddleson Abramson. Welch, whose series credits also include Under the Banner of Heaven and Castle Rock, is repped by CAA, Grandview and Tara Kole. Jacobson and Simpson are reppd by CAA and Ziffren Brittenham. Reed is represented by Felker Toczek Suddleson Abramson. Shelburne is reped by CAA.

    This an interesting stat. These numbers aren't typical for Myles. Shows how much of a disaster the team's defense has been this season. Last year they weren't great, but at least they had an identity.

    Everybody falls off a cliff under Vogel, see Kuzma and the rest of the players they gave away for free.

    They've won 4 games since the all-star break, and 2 of those took 50 burgers from LeBron. Westbrook isn't carrying anything but a really large purse.

    Both the NFL and NBA had perfectly fine playoff formats for many years, then they each had to get greedy with unnecessary playoff expansion.

    Talking about the “Icons club” one of the stories is that Will could block shots on top of the backboard (yeah right) and he did it so often he had opponents retiring after that.

    My only assumption is that the truckers he was playing against got tired of their second job and retired.
    Look I get that there are a lot of old story telling about players, but Wilt is not one of those that you should dismiss. It's not just storytelling with him, there is film footage and to go beyond that remember Wilt was a world class track and field star in college. High jumps were one of his things.


    Here is video of him doing athletic things


    This is video of OLD man Wilt who already had bad knee's blocking the impossible to block sky hook twice in a row


    Look, Wilt would not score 100 points today, but by the same token this guy was built like nobody before or since. There is video of Arnold Schwarzenegger saying he could not keep up with Wilt in the weight room and this is after Wilt had retired.
