Cassell says buyout discussions with Clippers ongoing

[douglas342 at aol.com]

Having seen Sam several times with the Clippers, and after watching 
Eddie House last night, the idea of Sam and Eddie out there chattering 
is funny to think about. I don't think either of them has stopped 
talking for more than 30 seconds in the last five years.

One thing that struck me about the Celtics last night was the apparent 
camaraderie on the team. From Posey's pre-game hugs on down to the fact 
that at every timeout, someone is at midcourt greeting teammates as 
they come to the bench, it looks like these guys are enjoying the ride. 
Maybe it's because they were blowing out a bad team and going home 
afterwards, but this was a team of loose and happy Celtics.

I didn't see Cassel during the game, but it was hard to see the Clipper 
bench from my seats.

Miscellaneous observation #23: timeouts are pretty unremarkable. 
Players come over to the bench, the players on the court sit, others 
stand around as the coach talks. Last night, though, both teams did the 
same thing: timeout called, the coaching staff huddles near the free 
throw line as the players head to the bench, then the coaching 
conference breaks up and the coach heads to the bench. I had never seen 
this before, now it seems like standard practice. On occasion, an 
assistant coach would grab one guy while the head coach talked to the 
rest.
