This Report Could Be A Nothing-Burger, Or It Could Send The Clippers Back To Obscurity

Just when it looked like the Clippers actually were going to get on a run of being the superior team in LA, a report has surfaced on Yahoo's basketball blog, Ball Don't Lie.

Donald Sterling has basically told his girlfriend (if you believe the report and that the exchange was caught on tape) not to bring African-Americans to "my games".

Oh, really, Sterling...  That's the kind of talk that could get you eliminated in six (and only because your team already has two wins in the series...).

TMZ is the source, and here are three gems from the article that show just how in tune Donald Sterling is...

-- "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?" (3:30) 

-- "You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want.  The little I ask you is not to promote it on that ... and not to bring them to my games." (5:15)

-- "...Don't put him [Magic] on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me.  And don't bring him to my games." (9:13)
