I had a feeling things were getting a bit too easy. A few blowout wins against disadvantaged teams is all the Clippers can handle. LaMarcus Aldridge out for Portland while the team also gives Luke Babbitt and Jonny Flynn significant/semi-significant minutes? Well, of course the Clippers respond by giving up a huge game[...]
This blowout over the Grant Hill-less (and that’s not insignificant) Suns makes it 3-in-a-row. If the Clippers manage to win on Friday against the Trail Blazers, who probably aren’t as hapless as most thought they would be post-Gerald Wallace trade, it would make for what I believe would be the first winnin[...]
I love New Orleans. I’ve been three or four times, but haven’t been back since the storm. Not that Katrina is the reason I’ve stayed away. I live in California, New Orleans is far, life is busy, tickets are expensive. You know, the usual reasons. But needless to say, when fellow Clipperblogger Charlie Widdoes proposed [...]
So it turns out that if you take the word of Donald Sterling, via T.J. Simers, Vinny Del Negro’s job is safe for the rest of the season. This comes on the heels of a dismal 8-11 stretch for the Clippers that culminated in a winless three-game road trip — consisting of two blowouts and a jaw-dropping loss to[...]
Back away from the fire alarm — the Clippers took care of business in this one, 97-85. Here’s the Lob City Ledger over at ESPNLA.com, courtesy of Mr. Jovan Buha. Blake Griffin 8-10 FG | 4-9 FT | 7 REB | 5 AST | 20 PTS | +14 GRADE: B+ No, Jason Smith didn’t play, but Blake Griffin was motivated nonethe[...]
The Clippers have had their share of fan favorites in the past, players the crowd got behind the moment they entered the game. These guys were rarely stars, and for the most part, weren’t actually very good at basketball. You could usually lump these guys into one of the three common fan-favorite categories: 1. T[...]
In no particular order, here were the Top 4 Plays from the Clippers bounce back win over the Grizzlies, compiled by Michael Shagrin. Which one was your favorite? Let us know in the comments section. Nick Young’s 360 layup to get the Clippers to Lawler’s Law: Chris Paul leaving Marc Gasol in another a[...]
I am writing this recap and the game is only just midway through the 4th quarter. The Clippers haven’t won a game by double-digits since the Hawks 10 days ago. Now, to me, that isn’t that long, especially not for a flawed team like the Clippers. But this was still a nice surprise following that upsetting lo[...]
