The Clippers' Eric Bledsoe - Where Did That Come From?
Eric Bledsoe gave no indication in summer league or pre-season of what he was capable of. His stellar performance against the Thunder was truly unexpected.

Eric Bledsoe gave no indication in summer league or pre-season of what he was capable of. His stellar performance against the Thunder was truly unexpected.
The question now is whether, upon the third time of waking up, the Thunder will finally get out of bed. This game was terrible.
Led by Eric Gordon and rookie Eric Bledsoe, the Clippers got their first win of the season over the Thunder, 107-95.
Here's the second half thread for Clippers - Thunder. Let me know if this system works; I just set the thread up ahead of time to publish during half time.
The Los Angeles Clippers are 0-4, and they may very well end up winless in the first two or even three weeks of the season. "But!", you say, "The Clippers have Blake Griffin!" Well, that's true....
The Clippers are 0-4, with the NBA's leading scorer Kevin Durant and the Thunder coming to town. Next up are four tough road games, so a win tonight is almost imperative for the Clippers.
