The normal refs

are generally incompetent. What will the replacement ones be like? Absolutely horrible? Unfathomably putrid? Just looking for the right adjective.

I’ve all but accepted the Clippers as my second favorite team because of Gordon. Very underrated rookie year in an outstanding rookie class, he makes me proud to be a Hoosier, even if he’s doing work out in LA.

As long as he doesn’t throw down anymore daggers against the Pacers in Indianapolis, I’ll be fine with his progress into an All-Star level player, but he does anymore of that crap, he’ll end up on my bad list really quickly…
