• Mike Scott’s confident shooting off bench has been key for surprising Clippers

  22-11-2018 23:23 via ocregister.com
  
  As the 11-6 Clippers begin garnering wider attention for their success, so far, as the NBA’s anti-superteam, a quote from reserve forward Mike Scott has been circulating. Translated for a family audience, he basically said: We’re no punks.
  There isn’t yet an All-Star among them, but there are no pushovers, either. The Clippers’ roster is so well stocked with capable contributors – such as Scott, a defense-stretching, sharp-shooting big man – they’re prov

• Jerry Brown’s mixed legacy of big fixes, some corruption

  About a month from today, a new governor will sit in the state Capitol’s “horseshoe” suite and face some problems that not even the hyper-active and often contemptuous soon-to-be-ex-Gov. Jerry Brown could not solve.
  Those problems will obscure neither Brown’s achievements nor his failures.
