Proud citizen of Clipper Nation
I don't understand what this nonsense is about protecting the second unit by having Willie Green start (until Chauncey Billups returns). The depth chart is plenty deep to keep Willie Green on the...
Clippers have a LOT of nationally televised games.
I can't recall if anyone has written this piece yet, but the thought still lingers of what path B would look like today even though I love that we have Chris Paul. Before the trade last year,...
This blog post was about Steve Blake's open shot that he missed in the Lakers/Thunder series, but happened to mention the top 15 from that corner spot.
Not sure if you caught Charles Barkley trashing Blake Griffin's game the other day, but it was pretty harsh. Anyways, just took the moment this morning to check their stats side-by-side in their 2nd season - thought you all might be interested....I threw in Karl Malone too. The main takeaway is that Blake Griffin is being compared to hall of famers...this is a good thing.
This post isn't about wanting or lobbying to get rid of DeAndre or anything, but merely an intellectual exercise that I'm sure every GM has to do with their roster. We know that Golden State did...
Here's a quick snapshot of the league thru Feb 2 (i.e. Clippers first 20 games). Using the pythagorean wins method (which, if you don't what that is, check out this link W Pyth), you'll notice that...

Oh well, looks like this saturday's game against the Bucks could get ugly quick if they don't have their best post man playing. With that said, Jennings, Beno and SJax could light up the Clippers and make things fun.
Ex-#UtahJazz center Kyrylo Fesenko drawing interest from Heat, Warriors, Pistons, Clippers, source says.
Brian T. Smith @tribjazzESPN sources: Clippers and NBA-owned Hornets have agreed to Chris Paul deal in principle. Gordon, Kaman, Aminu and Minnesota pick to Hornets
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLineHeavy buzz that CP3/Clippers might be going down. Clips staff was just summoned to the office. Trying to get more info.
Bill Simmons @sportsguy33It's probably way too early to start thinking about 5-man units, but for some reason I've been staring at this roster, trying to imagine different combinations. PG: Mo, Bledsoe, Warren SG: EJ,...
Taking a break from all the CP3 nonsense - a lingering question I keep having is what the plan should be regarding all-star Chris Kaman. Assuming there are no big-time (CP3) trades that would...
The Hornets are probably going to trade Chris Paul this week - the big question is whether it will include an extension or not. I've been caught up in the hysteria for sure - checking in here and...
My head is buzzing with the idea of having CP3 throw lobs to Griffin and DJ in the near future...shoot even Bledsoe and him have some serious chemistry as evidenced here. So what package(s)...
Let's play the free agent / amnesty predictions game! Simply post whatever you think will happen during the week of Dec 9 and we'll see whose crystal ball is the clearest of them all at CN. L...
Iggy, Lou Williams and M.Speights for Kaman, Mo and Minny pick Trade Machine has Clippers at +9 wins and -14 for Sixers! It's obvious that the Sixers need to do something if they want to be a...
A whopping 3 win improvement from last season is not what most of us were expecting (hoping for). From the pythagorean wins perspective, the season in review looks like this:
Marc Stein and Lisa Dillman via twitter both confirm that Denver intends to hold onto Gallo for now.
also, BDL article by Kelly Dwyer I'm shocked by this news. Jerry Sloan stepping down!? Sure, they lost 10 of their last 14... Anyways, it looks like more power teams from the West are showing cracks: Blazers, Lakers, Suns and now the Jazz. Spurs are awesome right now, but for how much longer? Same goes for Mavs with Dirk/Kidd?
Interesting discussion that seems appropriate for this blog community... ----- Bill Simmons breaks down Kobe Bryant and his generation of NBA stars with Henry Abbott and Marc Stein. Plus, Joe House previews the B.S. Report Super Bowl trip.
January updated: With last night's win against the Bucks, the Clippers went 9-5 for the month of January. While the specific wins and losses were off, the Clippers matched the required...
Heard this on Cowherd this morning on the way to work...
I don't have the guts to make this kind of post. There's just too much evidence of how wrong I was in the end. But Citizen banady went out on a limb and looked at the thing that we've all been...
And for those asking. Chris Kaman out of walking boot today.

My initial reaction is no - not unless he can guard the 5...anyone know? However there are some very intriguing talents he can bring on the offensive end: 1) active rebounder on both ends (on par or better than Griffin), 2) stretch-5 who can play high/low with Griffin, 3) one of the best outlet passers in the game that would help trigger the Clippers transition offense. UPDATE: if the Clippers made this trade they would save $8M and have $11.8M total cap space.
Through 4 games now, the Clippers are the worst scoring team in the league at 87.5 ppg. It should definitely hopefully get better - here's a breakdown of Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman and Blake...
