The Clippers Are Falling Into Their Usual Slump
For the sixth year in a row, the Los Angeles Clippers are having the exact same season. At one point this year, they were 14-2. This month, they’ve won four of their last 10. After Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets, the team’s 40-29, and the players seem glum....
What's Eating Isaiah Thomas?
The Celtics lost 116-102 to the Clippers last night, and after the game Celtics star point guard Isaiah Thomas was spotted doing that thing no team ever wants to see their star player doing: refusing to take off his uniform and staring into space....

The Warriors And Clippers Still Don't Like Each Other Very Much
What was once an intense rivalry between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers has cooled some lately. Last night’s Warriors victory—in which the Clippers were up 12 at the half before the Warriors dropped a 50-point third quarter on them and took over the game—was their tenth in a row ...

Draymond Green Talks Wild Shit, Tries To Kick An Opponent, Has Very Draymond Green Game [Update]
The Chris Paul-less Clippers are doing their thing and playing the Warriors tough up in Oakland tonight. Draymond Green had a pretty horrendous first half, adding five turnovers to his three fouls. He also had five points and ended the half with a +/- of -9....
Glen Davis Talks A Whole Bunch Of Shit About Doc Rivers
Glen “Big Baby” Davis has always had something of a tense relationship with his former coach, Doc Rivers. During an interview with Fox Sports’ Chris Broussard, Davis released some of that tension and took a few shots at Rivers....
Goodness, This Blake Griffin Pass
Blake Griffin just returned from a lengthy injury layoff to recover from knee surgery, and it appears that he’s been antsy to get back. He went all And-1 to scoot this pass in to J.J. Redick in the first quarter tonight, and thankfully, Redick hit the layup....
Oh God The Knicks Are Going To Screw This Melo Shit Up So Completely, I Can't Wait
The Los Angeles Clippers are wounded—literally!—and in trouble. Chris Paul’s out for at least five more weeks with an injured thumb; Blake Griffin only just returned from a knee injury that kept him out of 18 games. They’ve lost three of four, and to some real dogs: the Wolves, Nuggets, and 76ers. T...
These DeAndre Jordan Free Throws Are High Art
DeAndre Jordan stands to have his production decline as much as anyone on the Clippers in Chris Paul’s absence. Jordan is Paul’s primary alley-oop muse, and his offensive rebounding skills are a lot less handy without Paul’s penetration. However, that has nothing to do with Jordan airmailing two fre...
Chris Paul Is Hurt Again And The Clippers Might Be Screwed
Remember when the Los Angeles Clippers were hot out of the gates and the basketball intelligentsia talked about them as a serious threat to the Warriors’ Western Conference dominance? Well....
The Clippers, Who Appear To Be Legit, Owned The Cavaliers
How many legitimate contenders are there to win the NBA title? Before the season, the almost universally agreed upon answer was two. The Warriors breezed through everyone in the Western Conference last season except the Thunder, whose best player they lured away this summer. The Cavaliers play in th...
Old And Carefree Paul Pierce Blows Dunk, Receives CPR From Chris Paul
The Clippers started off the season 14-2, partly due to their decrepit bench coming to life, but they’re settling back into normalcy with a three-game skid. In last night’s double-OT game against the Nets, they were thoroughly owned by Sean Kilpatrick, who notched 38 points, 14 rebounds, and snuck r...
Doc Rivers Was <i>Pissed</i>
The Clippers lost their third straight, falling 127-122 in two overtimes in Brooklyn, and they had to play the second overtime without coach Doc Rivers, who got an early ticket to the locker room and had to be restrained by his players and assistants after picking up two quick techs....
That Time Chris Paul Memorized An Eye Chart To Try And Cheat A Vision Test
Chris Paul got eye surgery this summer, a vision-enhancing procedure he needed for some time. It’s hard to believe that one of the best point guards of his generation got by without perfect vision for so long, but he apparently did. Paul’s brother and father got their eyes fixed during Paul’s rookie...
DeAndre Jordan Doesn't Want You To Have Any Ice Cream
NBA teams run all kinds of fun in-game promotions—free tacos if we score 100 points! Free pizza if we hit 15 threes!—but the best ones are those that allow for meta-contests between the fans and opposing players....
The Clippers' Bench Has Somehow Gone From Terrible To Amazing
For five seasons, the Los Angeles Clippers have been the exact same team. In the regular season they win 50-something games, and in the playoffs they flame out before the Conference Finals. But things might just be different this year, because their previously worthless bench unit is dominating game...
Blake Griffin Picked Up A Cool New Skill In The Offseason (Throwing Shoes At People)
They say the summer is a time to refine your game, learn new skills, and hone your craft. Blake Griffin took that to heart, apparently, and his new skill is cool as hell. It’s throwing shoes at opponents. Cory Joseph probably thought he was not going to catch Jamal Crawford’s size 17 to the mouth to...
Blake Griffin Does Standup Comedy, Is Actually Pretty Good
We last saw Blake Griffin trying his hand at standup comedy two years ago, when he read some silly poems. It looks like Griffin has been working on his act since then, as evidenced by his set in the video above, which happened at last week’s Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal....
Doc Rivers Is Still A Terrible GM
The Los Angeles Clippers lost in the first round of the playoffs to the upstart Portland Trail Blazers. Though it is true that they were without the injured Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, it was their fifth straight season getting bounced before the Conference Finals. And then this offseason the Warr...
