This is just awesome:
 
 
Davis exchanged words with Rivers and was told to sit down. Clippers assistant coach Alvin Gentry attempted to talk to Davis, but Rivers apparently had seen and heard enough and told team security to escort Davis back to the locker room.
 
"Nothing went on with me," Rivers said after the game. "I thought Baby was just too emotional, and for me, if you're too emotional I always send you back to the locker room and keep you back there until the next game. I love Baby. I just didn't think emotionally he was ready to play tonight, so we told him to go to the locker room."

Knicks beat the Warriors 87-84 at Oracle on the strength of holding the Warriors to 35% from the field (Steph Curry was 10-21 - the rest of the Warriors were 18-68).  The Knicks employed a pretty good strategy at the end, denying Curry from even touching the ball by having Raymond Felony all over him like a cheap belgian suit.  
 
In what may be the ultimate in perverse outcomes, the Knicks may have just put themselves in a better position to make the playoffs while simultaneously greasing the skids for the Warriors - who were once again missing Andrew Bogut and David Lee - to fall out of playoff contention.   There may well be a 50-win team from the West that simply doesn't make the dance and Golden State is looking like that squad with all of their injuries of late.

Pierce-itis, get your shot today! http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/kevin-love--might-be-getting-sick---and-paul-pierce-knows-exactly-what-he-s-got-181631415.html
 
 
 
“They did a good job, but it was really just me being exhausted,” Love said. “I couldn’t find any energy in the second half.”
Why couldn’t he find any energy?
“I don’t know,” he said. “I might be getting sick or something.”

Hearing what Love said, Paul Pierce, who guarded Minnesota’s power forward most of the game, had the diagnosis.
“Pierce-itis," he said, walking out of the locker room. “It’s getting around."

They still have a two game lead over the other three teams (all of which would have to pass them) with nine to play, and six of their nine are against lottery teams. Hollinger's model has them as 99.5% to make the playoffs coming into tonight (maybe after tonight? not sure if it's been updated or not).
