Blake Griffin Just Dunked On The Entire Perkins Family Tree
It's only halfway through the abbreviated NBA season, so I'm hesitant to dub anything dunk of the year. But here it is, dunk of the year—and of course it's from Blake Griffin. Kendrick Perkins's family requests no flowers be sent. [NBA TV]...

Oh, Dwight Howard Decided He's Now Open To Playing For The Clippers Too
I bet, when you heard that Dwight Howard asked for a trade from Orlando to the Lakers, Mavericks, or Nets, you thought he was a front-runner. (OK, the Nets aren't so "front," but they do offer nearly unlimited access to Jay-Z and Howard could live in Manhattan.) You thought Dwight Howard only wanted...

Yes, That's Golden State Fans Chanting "Beat L.A." About The Clippers
There's some debate about the last time the Clippers were on the business end of a "Beat L.A." chant (ClipperBlog says '05-'06) but it's a bizarre thing to observe nonetheless. Congrats, Clips, you've made it back to the big time. [ESPN]...
David Stern Did The Right Thing With Chris Paul
That's a painful headline to write, and especially inconceivable after the histrionics that followed the NBA's veto of a deal that would have sent Chris Paul to the Lakers last week. It was a power trip, a violation of Dell Demps's autonomy, and maybe even an anti-trust violation: and as it turns ou...
Blake Griffin And Co.'s Reactions To The Chris Paul Trade Were Caught On Tape: "Lob City!"

Chris Paul Headed To The Clippers, For Real This Time
Marc Stein is first to the post with news that the Clippers caved and will include Eric Gordon in a deal for Chris Paul, as long as Neil Olshey says "no takesies backsies" before David Stern can veto. The haul is pretty good for New Orleans: Gordon, Chris Kaman, Al-Farouq Aminu, and Minnesota's firs...

Today In Depressing Lockout Non-Stories: "Clippers Season Tix Same Price"
The NBA lockout isn't even a week old yet, and we're plum out of stories. The NBA's website has become a ghost-town-cum-clearinghouse for WNBA news and classic highlights. We're talking about predictable Michael Beasley weed busts instead of flurrying free agent activity, or something....
Here’s Part Two Of Our (Nearly) Exhaustive Video Compilation Of Blake Griffin Dunks
Just before the All-Star break, we provided you with a video compilation of Blake Griffin posterizing from the first half of his rookie year.

Blake Griffin Got A Technical On This Dunk And It Was Worth It
We haven't had too much of a Blake-reel on the site ever since he dunked over a car and hyped a football recruit, but here he is. Against Phoenix on Sunday, Blake Griffin took a pass from Mo Williams off the pick-and-roll, threw this dunk over Marcin Gortat's head, and got called for the offensive...
Donald Sterling Has Seized The "Guy Who Hates Cancer Patients" Label
Several tipsters took it upon themselves to point out a story about then-Los Angeles Clippers assistant coach Kim Hughes's battle with prostate cancer, and how the necessary surgery wasn't covered by the team's medical-insurance plan. There were plenty of stories and posts about it this week. In on...
Blake Griffin Did The Impossible And Sold Out A Nets Game
Blake Griffin has impressed us all this year. He has dunked a lot, sometimes over cars, more often over humans, and it's been fun to watch. This may trump it all, though: Blake Griffin sold out a home game for the New Jersey Nets. He can retire now....
Blake Griffin Shows Hint Of Personality, Channels Mars Blackmon To Hype USC's Jordan Cameron
Mars Blakeman, nee Blake Griffin, took the time to film this promotional video for NFL hopeful Jordan Cameron, who played both football and basketball at USC.
