“No pictures on scorecards” is a golf saying that applies to the Clippers win tonight. The stats seem pretty benign, 13 turnovers for the Clippers and 16 for the Wolves, but it didn’t catch how disorganized each team played. Every bit of momentum seemed to be volatile and ephemeral[...]
At the time the Clippers beat the Knicks, they had only four more games left on the first half of the road trip: Cleveland, Toronto, Milwaukee and Minnesota. Not one of those games provided the same level of difficulty as those first four. Sure, lumping the Knicks in with the Hawks, Magic and Heat m[...]
With only the fourth quarter left to play, the Clippers were in the game, down 71-65. Not too bad against a decent Milwaukee team, right? Wrong. Because the last few games have had the same feel, with the same result. The Clippers may have only been down 6 going into the fourth quarter, they may hav[...]
Who needs cheering up? Okay, everyone, great. DeAndre’s Chicken Song it is: Keys to the Game: - Blake Griffin. I know this sounds like a no brainer, but Blake hasn’t had his normal efficiency in the last few games. In the first matchup against the Bucks though, he scored 32 points on 13 [...]
With Friday’s loss to the Cavs, you’d think that there would be a rededication to the game, the Clippers would re-evaluate and figure out what was making them successful. They’d run Blake through the pick and rolls with some isolations plays to keep the Raptors on their toes, they&[...]
(No Raps highlights, so here’s a video of what the Clips are missing) It’s too easy to let the loss against the Cavaliers drain the team of energy. That was as dispiriting of a loss as there is. The Cavs hadn’t won in 26 games, and even with the road difficulties the Clippers have [...]
Yuck. What a dispiriting loss. The Cavs broke their NBA-record 26 game losing streak with a 126-119 victory over the Clippers tonight in Cleveland. For Clipper fans it wasn’t just a sloppy and frustrating game – although, of course it was that – but a reminder that this young team, despi[...]
There really isn’t any way to sugarcoat the Cavaliers’ season. They are the worst in the NBA in offensive and defensive efficiency, they’ve lost an NBA record 26 games in a row, they’re on pace to fall from the league’s best record two years running to the league’[...]
