Before last night’s game, there was still hope that Eric Gordon would play. Anyone that has watched the Clippers play this seasons knows that he’s a huge reason for the development of the team. He’s not just a 24 point per game scorer, he scores those points when the Clippers need [...]

Coming off the the disappointing loss in Portland, the Clippers face a familiar foe in the Warriors. It’s the two teams’ final match-up of the season and the third time they’ve played in the last two weeks, so they know each other and have the same goals. Both teams are on the outs[...]

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Back in November the Clippers turned in their biggest stinker of the season, getting run off the Pacers home floor 107-80.

When I think of progress, I imagine a steady, linear ascent. I think of the cartoon lines on the graphs with the black arrows steadily drawing upwards. I imagine always learning and literally getting better every day. But that’s not how it works in real life. There are times when things click,[...]
