    The Clippers who take the floor Saturday against the Boston Celtics at TD Garden might not be immediately recognizable without three of their usual starters, including their leading scorer, plus three reserves. I

    UCLA men’s basketball hopes to get back in the zone against Utah
    LOS ANGELES — If there’s anybody on UCLA’s coaching staff who can figure out the team’s defense, it should be Murry Bartow. He came to UCLA specifically for this purpose.
    But as Colorado’s Shane Gatling obliterated UCLA’s zone defense with long-range bombs Wednesday, the de facto defensive coordinator turned interim head coach couldn’t see a quick fix. The zone wasn’t working, but the alternative could have been worse, he thought.

    Trump is right, ‘great nations do not fight endless wars.’ Bring the troops home
    “Great nations do not fight endless wars,” said President Trump in his State of the Union Address. The president is correct, and we urge Congress to support, not resist, the scaling back of America’s perpetual wars abroad.
    For the past two decades, the United States has found itself embroiled in an ever-expanding set of conflicts without a coherent strategy.
    The cost of these conflicts has been immense, in terms of both precious human life and American taxpayer money.
