I’m so happy I finally get to share this. The following is a beautiful Blake Griffin video put together by Clipper Joe. For more of Joe’s fantastic work, please make sure to visit his YouTube page here or go to Clippers.topbuzz.com.
Without further ado, enjoy this video by Clipper Joe: Blake Griffin — Man on Fire.
According to Broderick Turner of the L.A. Times, the Clippers made their much-anticipated move to bolster frontcourt depth by signing 6’10″ Solomon Jones on Monday. Jones will join the team on a nonguaranteed contract worth about $1 million, “said a person not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.”
The signing comes after a workout that included Jones, Dan Gadzuric, Hilton Armstrong and D.J. Mbenga — all of whom were presumably candidates to fill the defensive void left that has become problematic when DeAndre Jordan goes to the bench.
The more I watch Chris Paul, the more he reminds me of a heavyweight fighter.
Against Portland on Sunday, Paul once again conserved his energy and wasted little movement. He felt out the defense of his opponent, occasionally exploring with a jab up the middle just to gauge the reaction. Mostly though, Paul relied on his knowledge of angles and settled for peppering in occasional shots from the outside. It was a relatively pedestrian first 46 minutes for Paul, leading lots of instant gratification type folks to wonder aloud why the heck they paid for this.
