For most teams, a five game road trip would be circled on the calendar as a daunting obstacle. However, the Clippers just returned from an 11 game road trip 10 days ago, so this won’t seem like a sojourn so much as a jaunt out to the eastern countryside to play with some cronies. Kidding aside[...]
The Clippers have a healthy team, but the hopes for this season are over. So what’s to expect for their remaining 20 games? Like I said in the previous post, the Clippers have no motivation to tank and get a higher pick, since the Cavs own those rights, so what does the team need to work on? F[...]

The Clippers went on to beat the Hornets, defending Chris[...]
Blake Griffin’s return to his home state starts off the Clippers return to the road. The road trip is only three more games, and one is in Los Angeles, so the end is nigh. although the last few days have been uniquely taxing for Blake. Not only did Blake participate in the Rookie-Sophomore Gam[...]
