Ref Takes Ball To Face
The pain of a swatted shot typically lies with the shooter alone. In the second quarter of tonight’s Thunder-Clippers game, though, this poor ref got saddled with all the agony (physical and emotional alike) of Jerami Grant’s block of an attempted layup by Jawun Evans:...
Delightful Goof Austin Rivers Went Off Last Night, Baby!
The Clippers won in Houston Friday night. In just about any of the last 10 NBA regular seasons, that result would not register as anything especially noteworthy. In this one, with the Rockets coming into the game holding the NBA’s best record and the Clippers sagging towards a lottery appearance and...
Late Clock Error Absolutely Hoses The Wizards In Los Angeles
The John Wall-less Washington Wizards took on the Blake Griffin- and Patrick Beverley-less Clippers in Los Angeles today, in a game that managed to be pretty fun even with roughly a quarter of its normal star wattage. The Clippers dominated the first half, but Bradley Beal came alive in the second h...
Austin Rivers Fined By NBA For Shit-Talking "Fair Weather-Ass" Clippers Fan
Austin Rivers, hilariously spastic and wonderfully confident basketball player, has reportedly been fined $25,000 for scolding a court-side Clippers fan during the team’s Thursday night loss to the streaking Utah Jazz:...
Blake Griffin Suffered A Scary-Looking Knee Injury And The Clippers Are So Fucked
Late in last night’s win over the Los Angeles Lakers, Austin Rivers fell onto Blake Griffin’s knee while scrambling with Lonzo Ball for a loose ball. Griffin fell to the ground clutching his knee and checked out for good after the next Clippers possession....
It's Suddenly All Gone Very Wrong For The Clippers
After winning their first four games of the season and appearing to transition gracefully into the post-Chris Paul era, the Los Angeles Clippers have since turned into one of the worst teams in basketball and lost nine straight games. Their lone win over the past 10 games was against the hapless Dal...
Joel Embiid Packed A Season's Worth Of Shit-Talking Into One Game
The Philadelphia 76ers, who are maybe good, beat the Clippers, who are maybe bad, in Los Angeles last night, thanks to a big night from their big center Joel Embiid. The 7-foot-2 Cameroonian has been on a short minutes leash throughout his career, though his 32-point, 16-rebound performance against ...
Blake Griffin Helps Clippers Stay Undefeated With Buzzer-Beating Three Over Blazers
After the Clippers squandered a nine-point halftime lead over the course of the third quarter and slipped behind the Trail Blazers in the fourth, Blake Griffin stepped up to play the hero—grabbing a Patrick Beverly pass to drain a buzzer-beating 25-footer and seal the win for Los Angeles....
Poor Rudy Gobert
In the first quarter of tonight’s game against the Jazz, Blake Griffin offered up a dunk over Rudy Gobert that cannot really be fairly described as posterizing, simply because it was intense enough that it would really be kind of cruel to capture and preserve—you’d hang the poster up and everyone wo...
Of Course Patrick Beverley Shut Down Lonzo Ball
In perhaps the most predictable turn of events of the NBA’s early season, Clippers point guard Patrick Beverley held Lakers rookie sensation Lonzo Ball to three points on 1-of-6 shooting. Also predictably, Beverley was pleased with his handiwork after the game, according to ESPN’s Marc Spears:...
I Can't Stop Watching These Lovely Miloš Teodosić Passes
Maybe shaggy Serbian guard Miloš Teodosić, the Clippers’ new 30-year-old rookie, will turn out to be a matador defender. Maybe he will be an asshole who smokes clove cigarettes in the locker room and sneers at his teammates about the vulgarity of the American cinema. Maybe he will rip egg farts with...
Arrest Affidavit Details Domestic Violence Allegations Against Willie Reed
Miami police have released the arrest affidavit for new Los Angeles Clippers forward Willie Reed.

Reports: Clippers' Willie Reed Arrested On Domestic Violence Charge

Doc Rivers No Longer Allowed To Fuck Up The Clippers' Roster
There has always been a massive gulf in talent between Doc Rivers The Coach and Doc Rivers The General Manager. Coach Rivers has a career .579 winning percentage and hasn’t missed the playoffs since 2007; GM Rivers is best known for repeatedly wasting his team’s limited cap space on mediocre-to-usel...

Miloš Teodosić And His Slick Passes Are Coming To The Clippers

Blake Griffin Don't Need No Stinking Chris Paul, Will Return To The Clippers
Chris Paul’s departure to Houston probably spells the end of the era of the Los Angeles Clippers being a semi-serious championship contender in the loaded Western Conference. You will be forgiven, then, if you thought the next domino to fall would be Blake Griffin’s inevitable departure for greener ...
Report: Chris Paul Hated Austin And Doc Rivers
Now that Chris Paul has left for Houston, Doc Rivers faces an incredibly difficult task. J.J. Redick is reportedly out the door, and if the Clippers don’t re-sign Blake Griffin, they will suddenly be very bad. Don’t worry though. Austin Rivers is here to save the day....

The Clippers Are Exploring A Possible Move To A New Arena In Inglewood [Update]
Steve Ballmer, the recently woke owner of the Clippers, has been trying to get his team out of the arena that they share with the Lakers for some time. He bought the Clippers during the summer of 2014, and every year since then, he’s talked about the possibility of leaving with a rising sense of urg...
