28 year old LeBron James is the best player in basketball in 2013. He sweeps the board - first in PER, Win Shares, VORP, WS/48. There is no debate, he's the top guy.  28 year old Bosh and 31 year old Wade also hit 20 PER.  Pat Riley, of course, is the GM for this team and Bob McAdoo is an assistant coach.  Wonder what they were doing 30 years prior?

Maybe the most interesting first round series - Pat Riley v Pat Riley, Showtime vs The Heatles. Here's the mirror image of the Sixers team from the prior series - except the Lakers are seeded 15th in the region and facing the 23rd overall seed in the tournament. 35 year old Kareem and 23 year old Magic are both over 20 PER with double digit WS. Bob McAdoo's 31, coming off the bench with a 20 PER and he's an assistant coach with the Heat 30 years later. Gonna be a banger.

Crawford and Jordan in for the Clips.

Issel, Jones, Littles, Thomas for the Colonels.

4:16: KY: Wil Jones scores from the foul line.

4:03: LA: Jamal Crawford nails a corner 3.  

3:56: KY: Jones again, scoop and score.

3:18: KY: Crawford misses a 3 - Jones scores the other way, that's 6 straight Colonels points for Wil Jones and Kentucky ties the score.

2:41: LA: Gilmore picks up his 5th, CP3 hits 1, 90-89

2:24: KY: Wali Jones again.  A long 2 gives Kentucky their first lead of the day.

2:12: LA: Cold blooded Jamal Crawford gives LA the lead.

1:13: KY: Misses both ways - and then it's Wali Jones, one more time - a runner in the lane to give Kentucky the lead.

Clips call time.  

At 1 minute - Crawford misses the 3 pointer.  

Kentucky ball.

Chris Paul picks off a Louie Dampier pass and sprints to the goal - huge defensive play for CP3 - the Clips have the lead.

Averitt misses with 34 seconds left.  Clips have the ball and the lead.

Crawford misses at 18 seconds.  Colonels ball.  Time out.  Who gets the last shot?

It's Averitt - and he misses.

Crawford's fouled with 8 seconds left - hits them both.  Averitt will turn it over - Crawford will hit 2 more FT and that's the final.

Final Score: Clips 98 Colonels 93

Great comeback by the Colonels - but it's the Clips who come through in the final minute.  Artis Gilmore averaged over 23 PPG, he's held to single digits today.
