The latest in an ongoing series covering the NBA Finals with actor/comedian Rondell Sheridan. Jose Salviati: Rondell, before today's game there was talk of sending Bynum back to L.A. to get ready for Games Six and maybe Seven. You think the Lakers regret not opting for that option? Rondell Sheridan:   No doubt, the Lakers should have sent Bynum back to LA and given him five days ...

The latest in an ongoing series covering the NBA Finals with actor/comedian Rondell Sheridan. BR: The game started out on a high note for Boston but quickly settled into a grind-it-out kind of game, didn't you think? RS: It was going to be a Boston massacre in the opening minutes tonight. Boston, led by Garnett, was running and jumping and rebounding. But then a bunch of things happened that derailed ...

Dear Mr. Sterling, Thank you! Thank you for moving the team to Los Angeles. Thank you for 2006.

  The latest in an ongoing series covering the NBA Finals with actor/comedian Rondell Sheridan. RS: First of all is anyone going to comment on the lame two day turnaround? What's up with that? Both teams had like five days off after the conference finals. Hey Stern-why so stingy with the rest days? BR: Couldn't agree more. Seems odd there hasn't been more uproar over this. It's odd. RS: Game two was odd. Not the way ...

I can feel the venom coming from Laker fans already. I've followed the Clippers all year, don't hate; haven't I been through enough? Truth is, I am a basketball fan first and foremost, but cut my teeth on the Lakers. A good friend of mine was pals with Michael Cooper in the 80's. He would spend time after the games in the locker-room; I would get ...

The Clippers won, the Clippers won!! Tonight's victory over the Warriors marks the Clippers fourth "W" since March 1.  Ponder that for a minute, won't you?  Four wins since March 1.  Can you see why I'm so excited? I just can't hide it. The Clippers won! They did it with a make-shift lineup that included significant minutes for Mardy Collins, Bobby Brown, and Steve Novak.  Now, ...

With the regular season winding down and the playoffs around the corner, it's time to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the Clippers as they prepare for what should be a long playoff run.  The Clippers started this season with high expectations and did nothing to disappoint. Like his team, Blake Griffin did nothing to disappoint.  The mocking taunts when the Clippers took him first in the ...
