JOE STEVENS: It's all about cinco
I can’t stand it when ``journalists’’ make prediction on sporting events. They don’t know the future. If they really did, they’d bet on their soothsaying ability and become fat cats living in Vegas.
BUT here’s something that I truly believe – the winner of Game 5 between the Clippers and Suns will win the series. Now, I am not a soothsayer or a fat cat, and it’s not really a prediction. It’s just common sense. Right?
Now watch, the Clippers will lose Game 5 and then win the next two and I will become the ``journalist’’ I despise.
Quick thought here: Corey Maggette should always start in all situations. I felt that way five years ago when he played behind Eric Piatkowski and still believe that…
In other news… I am beginning to enjoy coach Mike Dunleavy’s responses to why he played clutch-shooting Sam Cassell just 35 seconds in the fourth quarter of the Clippers’ Game 3 loss. The coach has gone on the record several times, saying his move wasn’t a mistake.
We all know it was a mistake, and we all know that Mike is a highly intelligent guy. I think Mike finds himself in a position with the media similar to one when a cop is writing you a ticket. What can you say?

It's very simple. Win the game, the coach is a genious; lose and the coach is a dunce.
I think Mike Dunleavy is a genious and game 5 is "in the bag."

I'm hoping that they win game 5, but if they don't then I hope you become the journalist you despise. I do agree that Corey should be in the starting line-up. Go Clippers!
