Donald T. Sterling… No longer the worst owner in the NBA?

AUTHOR: Alex David, aka Short White Boy | IN: Clippers | COMMENTS: 4 Comments

The Donald has gotten more crap than any NBA owner, and let’s be honest, he’s deserved it.  In the past he’s let decent Clippers walk for nothing, he’s refused to make offers to free agents, he’s tried to pay as little salary as possible because he could make more money by spending the minimum on a bad team (kinda similar to the Mel Brooks’ masterpiece The Producers, no?).  With the Milwaukee Bucks not even making a qualifying offer to Charlie Villanueva after trading away Richard Jefferson for scrap parts, they seem to only care about cutting costs.  If anyone tells [...]

Clips From Elsewhere

From Blake Griffin Selected to Attend Team USA Mini Camp – Clips Nation:
In further evidence of Blake Griffin’s position in this particular NBA draft, he was the only non-NBA player among the 25 selected to attend USA Basketball’s July Mini camp in Las Vegas.
It’s an honor for Griffin to be selected. Meanwhile, you have to wonder what USA Basketball is thinking by NOT including Eric Gordon on their list. Of the 25 players invited, seven just completed their rookie season in the league. Eric Gordon finished fifth in Rookie of the Year voting.
In ClipperBlog.com Kevin Arnovitz reports [...]

Continuing Tales of Sports Guy’s Clipper Love Affair

AUTHOR: Alex David, aka Short White Boy | IN: Clippers | COMMENTS: 4 Comments

Bill Simmons writes an open letter to Blake Griffin warning him to run away from the Clippers.  However, unlike Dunleavy’s assertion that Simmons just makes jokes, the sad thing is that the history that Simmons recounts is all true.
It’s hard out here for a Clip fan.

“Off The Record”: News From Around The League

AUTHOR: Alex David, aka Short White Boy | IN: Clippers | COMMENTS: 2 Comments

Hey all, Shortwhiteboy is gonna be introducing a new regular column today called “Off The Record.”  It’ll feature the same stories that everyone else is jabbering on about, but we here will have exclusive, never-heard-before-or-after quotes that reveal the innermost thoughts of those involved.  You may ask, how Shortwhiteboy, are you able to get such delicious nuggets?  It’s because I’m willing to do anything to get you what you want, including bribing janitors, hiring spies, planting bugs, downright lying that “sure this is off the record,” and okay, just making this crap up.  The news is true, the quotes… well, [...]

Live Chat During Draft Thursday

AUTHOR: Alex David, aka Short White Boy | IN: Clippers | COMMENTS: None Yet

For those interested, Thursday during the draft the NBA sites from FanSided.com will have a live chat. Let’s be honest, the draft is long and can be pretty boring at times, so what else are ya gonna do? You can either chat with us, or just listen in(I guess it’s online, so should that be “read in?”). Who knows what’ll happen? Heck, I might even show up nude. The draft starts at 5pm Pacific time, 8pm Eastern, and um… other times for Mountain & Central.
Also, afterwards the chat will be published as a blog, so [...]

Four Days To Salvation!

AUTHOR: Alex David, aka Short White Boy | IN: Clippers | COMMENTS: 2 Comments

Yes, this Thursday is the NBA draft, and it seems almost a sure thing that the Clips will pick the only can’t miss prospect of the year: Blake Griffin. Even better, word is that not only are they not really listening to trade offers for him, but they do seem to be seeking trades for Zach Randolph, which’d not only give Griffin a starting spot but would also get rid of a player who can’t see half the court (y’know, that whole side where he’s supposed to play defense).
It’s kinda weird to know the date of salvation. Normally [...]

From BoomDizzle to BoomFizzle: A Pictorial Journey

AUTHOR: Alex David, aka Short White Boy | IN: Clippers | COMMENTS: None Yet

I’mna start my analysis of the players soon, and I’ll be starting with the team’s leader and point guard, Baron Davis, aka BoomDizzle. As I glanced on the web for possible photos to put in that blog, I realized the pictures kinda told the story themselves.
Hmmm, I like the made-up quotes. I’mna do that for the rest. And yes, I’m too lazy to go back and change the rest up there.
