If there has been a NBA team more tragic than the Clippers in the last ten years, it’s the New York Knicks. Cursed with a front office lead by Isaiah Thomas and an owner that might be as bad as Sterling in James Dolan, the Knicks haven’t made the playoffs since 2003-2004 when they still [...]
Sugarcoating a 1-10 start, when the Clippers have just lost two at home to the Detroit Pistons and the New Jersey Nets, is beyond impossible, it’s pointless. This Clippers team finds itself not so much in a hole attempting to make the playoffs, but with a fantastic start in the year to land an[...]
The Clippers are 1-9. That’s the worst record in the National Basketball Association. The Clippers also, after having come home from a rough road trip, lost to the Detroit Pistons in overtime. After all those moral victories they had (Bledsoe’s early stellar play, the team playing tough,[...]

Eric Bledsoe’s point guard opponents just aren’t getting any easier are they? Since picking up the job in the San Antonio game, he’s had to face Tony Parker, Russell Westbrook, Chauncey Billups, Deron Williams and now, la creme de la creme, Chris Paul. Not only is Chris Paul health[...]
In Denver tonight, the Clippers will focus on creating their first winning streak of the season. It will be tough playing against a talented, if injury-riddled, Nuggets team. Much of what lead to the Clippers first regular season victory can be found in tonight’s game. Against Oklahoma City, t[...]
If you’re looking for bright spots early in this season, you’re going to have to dig deep to find anything. The Clippers are 0-3 in regular season play after going 1-7 in the preseason. None of the games were even very close unless you want to talk about the Portland opener. And the stat[...]
