  And a few days ago, before the Lakers whupped the Clips, the LA Times ran a 
story stating that this was a lost season for the Clippers, that Ford had 
lost control of the team, but Sterling is so cheap he won't fire Ford now, 
but will wait out the season so as to avoid paying two coaches.  Lamar Odom, 
you know, is counting down the days before he can escape Clipperland.
