Ben Bolch of the LOS ANGELES TIMES drops off this gem:
Reporting from Atlanta - Baron Davis called it heartbreaking. Eric Gordon said it was not up to par.
Al Thornton?
“It was a decent trip,” the Clippers forward said Wednesday night at Philips Arena after his team concluded a two-week journey with a 103-97 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. “We could have done a lot better, but it was a decent trip.”
Asked what he meant by “decent,” Thornton fell silent for several seconds.
“What was our record on this trip, anyway?” he inquired.
Informed it was 2-6, Thornton chuckled and said, “I guess not so decent, then. My bad.”
Not mentioned: two of six losses were to the 4-44 Nets and 11-38 Minnesota with the 14-day excursion ultimately resulting in head coach Mike Dunleavy’s ouster.
New interim Clippers coach Kim Hughes reacted to Thornton’s comment today to Andrew Siciliano on KSPN-AM in Los Angeles.

• Boxer Trenton Titsworth kisses his opponent in the middle of a match. What’s funnier - the mid-match kissing, or the name Trenton Titsworth?

• Jerry Jones asks, “Brother, can you spare $350 million?”
• Tatum Bell is back with the Broncos. Watch your bags, everyone!
• A Clippers victory saves Al Thornton from taking a season-long vow of silence (and sadly, sporting a really cool afro).

It’s well known that athletes tend to have some rather odd superstitions, but if believing that eating fried chicken before every game is the secret to your success, then more power to you. After all, your fried chicken diet has been enough to get you to the highest level of your profession while my more balanced diet only has me writing about it.
Still, some superstitions are a little less harmful than others. I mean, if you’re wearing the same underwear for three weeks during a winning streak, you’re not really hurting anybody but yourself. Sure, a couple of your teammates may catch a whiff or two while in the locker room, but it’s not going to kill them. Of course, if you play for the Los Angeles Clippers and you vow not to talk to your girlfriend until you win a game, you might as well take a vow of celibacy and join a group of Tibetan monks.
