Navigating the trade waters is difficult. Lies are told, feelings get hurt. Former Clipper and current New Orleans Hornets guard Eric Gordon is still upset over how former Clippers GM Neil Olshey apparently told him he wouldn’t be traded, then traded him a few days later. It’s the nature[...]
Probably the biggest difference between this Clippers squad and last year is the defense. They were 18th in defensive efficiency last year and have made a huge jump all the way to 5th in the NBA.

After San Antonio took what seemed like a commanding 10-point lead over the Clippers heading into the second quarter, you could feel a wave of collective doubt creeping over the game.
