Chris Paul may be out 3-5 weeks, or at least his head coach Doc Rivers thinks so. The Los Angeles Clippers beat the Dallas Mavericks tonight 119-112. In a winning effort, they may have lost their superstar to separated shoulder.

I saw this information on BSO, salute to them.

Chris Paul got hit with a Jackie Chan kick by Tony Allen. The kick/foul led to Allen getting ejected during Monday nights game.

Allen is known to be an aggressive defender but the Chan kick took it to new heights.

The NBA also suspended Allen for one game.

Drinking Games: Lakers vs Clippers

Here is a list of 5 great drinking games for tonight's Lakers vs Clippers preseason match-up

  1. Alley-Oop - Take a shot every time Chris Paul throws an alley-oop dunk to Blake Griffin. Be warned, this could be a long night
  2. Star Gazer - Take a shot every time they show a celebrity in the crowd. This is only for people with a high tolerance level
  3. Say My Name - Take a shot every time the broadcast mentions "Dwight Howard" or "Lamar Odom". Depending on the score late in the game, this may get you trashed.
  4. I'll Pass - Take a shot every time Kobe passes the ball. Great game for light drinkers.
  5. I'm too old for this - Take a shot every time Chris Paul makes Derek Fisher look like father time. This is also for high tolerance level drinkers. Enjoy and drink responsibly.

Would Phil Jackson come back to coach Lakers with Howard, Paul and Bryant?

Phil Jackson has accomplished enough to retire forever from the game of basketball. But, doesn't the idea of having Dwight Howard and Chris Paul change his mind? Phil has had the luxury of coaching the best players in the NBA during their peak. From Michael and Scottie, to Kobe and Shaq, and even Kobe and Gasol have all been champions with Phil. You have to imagine that the idea of another pairing of Chris Paul and Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant could arguably be the most talented team Phil could coach.

If you are the Lakers organization then you have to be on board with Jackson returning. Gutting the team for Paul and Howard is an all in move. If your going all in then go with a proven coach, not Mike Brown. Phil could only coach the home games and the playoffs if health is an issue. Phil ultimately will have the final decision. If he wants to come back nothing could really stop him. Is Dr. Buss really going to tell Phil Jackson and Laker Nation that Mike Brown is better?
