JOE STEVENS: Hallway yelling and Donkey Kong
As I walked down the hallway of Staples Center after the Clippers won their playoff series on Monday, I heard one Staples employee vehemently arguing, ``What about all the championships? I'll tell who the REAL team is.''
It's on. It's on like Donkey Kong. (I'm not sure what the phrase means, by the way, but I like it. I guess if you said, `It's on. It's on like Frogger,' that wouldn't sound as good.)
Of course, the Lakers still have to win 1 of 3 games against the Suns to hold up their end of the bargain to present L.A. basketball fans with as intriguing as a series as can be. But with Kobe Bryant, they should be able to do that, and then, if anything, it will be a fun, fun, fun series for all. Right?
In other news, I was wondering why the Clippers don't have more nicknames. Cuttino Mobley is ``Cat.'' Elton Brand is ``EB.'' Chris Kaman is ``K-Pax,'' ``Tom Petty,'' actually he has a lot of nicknames. But the other Clippers don't. Any suggestions for nicknames for these guys??? Let me know.

Boniface N'Dong- Fuzzy
Reggie Evans- Vito or "The Guy Who Grabbed Kaman's Ball Sac From Behind" (I know the last one is a little long, but I think it is catchy)

I liked Charles Barkley's name for Reggie Evans:
"Loose Ball Foul"

By the way, I don't think it is "on" yet. The Suns are very scrappy. Even though the Lakers only need one I put the odds at 50/50 (ain't no way the Lakers win a game 7)
