    So Durant’s out for the remainder of the regular season. We might have something here now

    And quite ironic since they are the Toilet Franchise of Los Angeles.

    Ballmer is the strangest owner. Who goes around bragging about toilets?

    i think it was just standard "i thought of this thing i bet you didn't think of; it's why i'm a genius!"

    he just didn't bank on the mileage that people are going to get from abstracting him yelling "toilets" with an excited, commanding tone. it's going to be great. i'm thinking of all sorts of fun, creative repurposing.

    Maybe he doesn’t run his speeches by his PR people. He ran a business that has everything to do with computers and the internet. Any marketing moron could see how this could be used for memes for years against him.

    well, even if he runs the speech by, it's the delivery that's key. had he just calmly said "you know, folks don't think about it--because why?--but having more toilets is really conducive to a better arena experience, so we paid attention to things like that, things we felt were shortcomings in other places". i'd have also sprinkled (heehee) in at least one other non-toilet detail, here, too (ok, that's for the speech writers).

    but what the speech approver/writer can't do is stop him from triumphantly yelling "toilets".

    lol, imagine you're the marketing person who gets fired three years from now after the millionth hilarious repurposing of the clip, and you're like "he just said he was going to mention the toilets...he didn't say it was going to be a highlight...what could i have done?!"

    Making it easier and more efficient for Clipper fans to flush their championship dreams down the crapper. Why wait till the first round to abandon hope?

    Replacing Bamba’s minutes with Wenyen isn’t the worst thing in the world, but I think we need another big man for depth now. If AD or Wenyen get in foul trouble, we’re screwed.

    realize it's a joke, but a) we couldn't sign him anyway, and b) i think he played like 25 minutes for utah the other day?

    anyway, good thing we didn't sign jay huff.

    How can all these injuries keep happening? When do the Lakers catch a little luck?
