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...
This Sports Baby Is Impressively Terrible At T-Ball
Podcast host J.J. Redick has a cute kid who, sadly, appears to have world historic trouble with unseating a tennis ball from a t-ball stand....

Austin Rivers On Relationship With His Father: "We Know Each Other As Strictly Basketball"
When Doc Rivers and the Los Angeles Clippers traded for Austin Rivers in 2015, he became the first son to play for his father in the NBA. The natural assumption was that Doc favoring his child, but when asked about playing for his father, Austin said that his bond with Doc isn’t as close as people t...
Clippers Lose Chris Paul And Blake Griffin For The Rest Of The Playoffs
The Clippers are currently tied at two in their series against the Trail Blazers, but the rest of those games are going to be tough. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin won’t play in any of them....
Report: Chris Paul Has A Broken Hand
Hours after Stephen Curry was officially diagnosed with a sprained MCL, the Clippers’ Chris Paul left the game and has reportedly been diagnosed with a broken hand. As you can see, he bent it while guarding the Blazers’ Gerald Henderson....
DeAndre Jordan Airballed Consecutive Free Throws
Adam Silver says watching DeAndre Jordan shoot free throws isn’t “entertaining.” He’s usually right, but when he’s airballing back-to-back charity stripe attempts, it carries its own special charm....
Take A Moment To Admire How Bad This DeAndre Jordan Free Throw Attempt Is
Clippers star DeAndre Jordan makes less than half his free throw attempts, and has almost singlehandedly prompted future NBA rule changes. Here’s his attempt early in tonight’s Blazers-Clips contest. It’s really something to behold....
Have Another Kobe Bryant Lowlight, Because We're Running Out Of Time
The Los Angeles Lakers only have four games left to play, which means we are nearly out of chances to watch old man Kobe Bryant creak his way through some extremely funny and embarrassing possessions. He gave us one last night, though, so let’s hold onto it. It could be the last one we ever see:...
