[外電] Clippers rested, ready to play
Clippers rested, ready to play
By Ramona Shelburne, Staff Writer
EL SEGUNDO - Donald Easley was hoping to spend some quality time with his
son, Clippers guard Cuttino Mobley, when he came out from Philadelphia to Los
Angeles last week.
With the Clippers in the NBA playoffs for the first time in nine years, he
knew quality time might be hard to come by, so he was ready to take whatever
time his son could spare.
That hasn't been a problem.
By the time the Clippers open the Western Conference semifinals on Monday,
they will have had an entire week off as the Lakers and Suns unexpectedly
took seven games to decide their first-round series.
In that time, Mobley and his father have been able to watch all of season one
and most of season two of the hit television series "24."
"I'd never watched it before, but he's got me going on it now," Easley said
Saturday afternoon as he waited for Mobley after the Clippers held a short
practice at the Spectrum Club in El Segundo.
Mobley and his teammates have had to find the right balance of resting and
relaxing in their time off and staying sharp for the next round.
The Clippers took Tuesday off, then practiced hard on Wednesday and Thursday
and a bit lighter Friday and Saturday.
Veteran point guard Sam Cassell learned how to deal with the waiting game
when he won two NBA titles with the Houston Rockets between 1993-95.
Cassell said he's been using the down time to relax and prepare.
Prepare for his next career, that is.
"I'm going to be a coach when I retire," he said. "You got to put the work
in. I don't watch basketball like a fan, I watch basketball. I get a little
notepad, jot things down that I notice."
