Chris Paul has Clippers thinking big, despite thumping by Spurs
I'm thinking the best place for Dwight Howard's statue outside Staples is right beside Oscar De La Hoya's 7-foot likeness. That way they can keep the guys together who have been beaten up the most in the building. De La Hoya was 0-1 in Staples and so...

Young superhero has a team behind him

Bank of America should just play the tape of disputed sales call
