RE: clippers game

Did you see McCarty at the end of the 3rd tonight we get the ball with 19 
seconds left, and instead of taking the last shot he races up and throws it 
up with about 14 left I think.  There then was a series of poor plays on 
both sides, a bad pass by Knight, a missed assignment on Hurley for an easy 
layup.  This was pretty sad.
