Aaaaand it's official - Real Madrid is your new La Liga champion.

Nick Young it is -- Nick Young likely to start at Memphis in place of Caron Butler MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A three-lane street here separates the hotel where the Clippers are staying and the FedEx Forum where they're playing. Nick Young has made that short trek earlier than some of his teammates in the last two days. He's trying to get ready. The Clippers guard is expected to start in place of injured starting small forward Caron Butler when his team plays Game 2 of its Western Conference first-round playoff series against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. The Clippers lead the series, 1-0. Starting would be a different role for Young, who started just three games for the Clippers after coming to the team in a trade March 15. But he's has been effective off the bench for much of the regular season. Full Story Hope Nick Young gon' keep on nailing those monster 3-pointers Reggie Miller-style again (three in one minute)!!

And you find this fact 'rather disturbing', I understand.

Germany warns of Euro 2012 boycott over Tymoshenko case The German government is threatening to boycott Germany’s matches at next month’s Euro 2012 football tournament in Ukraine because of alleged mistreatment of imprisoned opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, according to newspaper reports. According to a report in Der Spiegel magazine on Sunday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is considering staying from away the German national team’s games, which Ukraine are co-hosting with Poland, and is urging her ministers to adopt a similar boycott. The news came as Tymoshenko’s daughter made an impassioned plea to Berlin to “save the life” of the former Ukrainian prime minister, telling the Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung newspaper that “the fate of my mother and that of my country are now one and the same thing: if she dies, democracy dies with her,” The Guardian reports.

They should've went fort some grey too.. unis prolly gon' look too much like the Spurs ones... <_<

Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro is looking at starting either Nick Young, who scored a team-high 19 points Sunday night, or Bobby Simmons with Caron Butler out with a broken left hand. Young keyed the Clippers' comeback with three 3s, and he said he expects the Grizzlies to keep a closer eye on him in the next game after the Clippers' rally in the last one. http://www.nba.com/games/20120502/LACMEM/gameinfo.html
