Yesterday afternoon I was stuck in traffic on the way back from San Diego, weighing the risks of (illegally) using the diamond lane, and listening to a sports talk radio debate weighing the relative merits of Lamar Odom vs. Blake Griffin for the West’s final All-Star spot. (Of course, in accor[...]
Coming off the the disappointing loss in Portland, the Clippers face a familiar foe in the Warriors. It’s the two teams’ final match-up of the season and the third time they’ve played in the last two weeks, so they know each other and have the same goals. Both teams are on the outs[...]
For the third time, the Clippers couldn’t win more than three games in a row. It upheld to more than that pattern though, the Clippers started strong again, beating the Blazers 27-23 in the first before they crumpled in the second and third quarters, surged in the fourth (twice) and then colla[...]

Two months ago, when the Clippers met the Indiana Pacers, their season was careening toward disaster. After getting blown out by 27 points in Indianapolis to begin the season 1-12, when even Blake Griffin looked lethargic and scored a quiet 12 points, there was a growing fear that the malaise which [...]
