Even when they stumble to a dismal 19-63 record, the Clippers manage to keep it interesting. Whether they’re lucking their way to the top pick in the draft, assembling a roster of high-priced malcontents, or deflecting another bizarre story about their owner, the Clips never deprive their fans[...]
Ross Siler of the Salt Lake Tribune: “The Clippers are probably five times as talented as the Golden State team that beat the Jazz with seven players on Saturday, but they sure didn’t play like it. Baron Davis – - no C.J. Watson – - was 1-for-13 and finished with three points[...]
In a rare confluence of offensive efficiency and defensive moxie, the Clippers put together their most impressive half of basketball this season.
