When the Los Angeles Clippers venture into the desert tonight to take on the Phoenix Suns, former teammates Chris Paul and Tyson Chandler will be reunited.
Sadly, and almost unbelievably, the two aren't linked to each other anymore. After all, there was a time when Paul and Chandler created magic on the court in New Orleans and it seemed like they'd be a great tandem for many, many years; the young point guard displaying handles that few had ever seen, finding the defensive-minded center for a seemingly endless loop of alley-oop lobs.
It was great stuff, culminating in a 56-win season and trip to the Western Conference semifinals by the 2007-08 New Orleans Hornets.
But today is different.
