Danny Ainge is good friends with Donald Stirling, and he remains so today. No, not Donald Sterling. That’s “Stirling” with an “I.” Stirling is the chief revenue officer for Miller Sports Properties, the company that controls the Utah Jazz. His name has become world-famous, in a way, ever since the racist rant by Sterling, the Los Angeles Clippers owner, became public in late April. Stirling seemed...

The Jazz didn’t win a lot of games, but set themselves up for a bright future. Oh, how easily success fades in the NBA. It’s hard to believe it’s been eight years since the Utah Jazz lost to the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals. Since then, they’ve said bon voyage to long-time head coach Jerry Sloan, who manned the helm for 22 years. Utah has also waived goodbye to Deron Williams,...

Well I got both the games right last night, but said under on both the betting lines and was way off. The Clippers (who I picked to win it all) looked like a team that could win it all last night as they dominated from start to finish.
