I am purely speculating and have zero idea if this will actually come true, but I believe nomadic coach Larry Brown will be the next coach of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Sending a Message

October 15, 2009

The NBA league office has always been fond of sending a message to coaches, players, and teams when they want to get a point across.

Rookies in Training Camps

October 2, 2008

Training camps may be exciting, but they are always interesting and highly important.  Camps set the tone for the entire season.  It is very rare that a team that doesn’t gel well in camp will have a successful season.

I can not believe it, but we are only a couple of weeks away from the start of NBA training camps! As we look to the new season, there are plenty of new faces at the helm of many NBA teams, which brings many question marks. One in particular is how Coach Larry Brown will [...]
