But it wasn’t a trap. If such a thing as a trap game exists, they don’t exist back-to-back. And they certainly don’t exist four games into a season, as Charlie Widdoes states at the end of last night’s ClipperBlog Live. Either the Clippers were ill prepared or some glaring we[...]

It wasn’t pretty, but the Clippers defeated the Heat in Chris Paul’s return from injury first preseason game this season. The Clippers led early and throughout, a stark contrast from the bashing they took in their first meeting with the Heat. However, L.A. nearly blew its 17-point fourth[...]

Here’s the roundup from last night’s win over the Thunder by Michael Shagrin. Enjoy.   The Clippers beat the top-seeded Thunder, clinched their first playoff birth since 2006, and played the best half of defense this season. Last night’s game produced about as many celebratory[...]
