Gordon, who suffered a sprained left big toe last night in the win over Chicago, is listed as questionable for tonight’s game at Denver. The Clips will be without Sebastian Telfair, who is back in Los Angeles getting treatment on his strained groin. If neither is able to play, the Clippers wou[...]
Coming off uniquely heartbreaking losses to two of the best teams in the league in the Lakers and Cleveland, the Clippers looked susceptible to playing victim to the infamous trap game.

The Clippers’ size is one of their great advantages and one of the primary ways they’re able to control basketball games for sustained stretches when they’re playing well. When that asset isn’t on the floor, the Clips are easier both to score on and to guard. Both last night at Memphis and ton[...]
