Clippers could’ve done better, could’ve done worse with today’s trade.

Kaman for Howard and Thomas could make sense for both teams.

Clippers lose to Celtics after being up at halftime; trade with Hornets that will send Bobby Brown to the Clippers in exchange for a conditional second-round draftpick expected to be approved by league office tomorrow.

Clippers Surprise Boston Celtics With Last Second Win

Before we start, here’s a crazy stat they threw out during the broadcast: throughout history the Celtics and the Lakers have so dominated the league, that there is only one decade in which neither team won a championship.  The league started in the 40’s, so we’re talking seven decades.  That’s insane.  If you wanna know what decade it was, the answer’s at the bottom.
It wasn’t always pretty, but sometimes winning ain’t pretty.  And often that’s the only way to beat a top team like Boston.  The Clippers struggled with Marcus Camby out, having to rely on DeAndre Jordan more than [...]

Top 10 Most Hopeful Clipper Moments Of The Decade… Though None Panned Out

Being a Clipper fan is not about rooting for a winning team.  It’s about hope.  Praying things will get better.  Thus to look back at this past decade, I present The Top 10 Most Hopeful Clipper Moments.  Of course, as you’ll see below, every time of hope… has been followed by disaster.
1.  The decade started off with a bang for Clipper fans.  Yes, Lamar Odom was drafted in 1999, but it was in January 2000 that he had his most productive month: 19.1 points, 9.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists on 47% shooting.  Other highlights from his rookie year?  He tied [...]

Fantasy Basketball Draft Analysis: Red Hot Six

Welcome to the penultimate part, aka part six of what will eventually be a seven part article.  This is the analysis of a fantasy bball draft, based on what I thought at the time of the draft.  However, it happened so long ago that it no longer is about who made the best choices, but rather whether I was right or wrong in thinking they made solid choices.  Anyway, as a reminder again, those players with a (K) next to their names are keepers, thus making them pretty much all good choices so they won’t be analyzed.

Clippers Crumble In Fourth Again – Lose To Orlando Magic

AUTHOR: Alex David, aka Short White Boy | IN: Al Thornton, Baron Davis, Chris Kaman, Clippers, Craig Smith, DeAndre Jordan, Magic, Mike Dunleavy Sr., Sebastian Telfair, Steve Novak | COMMENTS: None Yet

Like with many of their recent games, there were times the Clips looked great last night and there were times they looked…  well, let’s just say that Patrick Ewing was at the game last night (he’s an assistant coach for Orlando) and there were times when he looked pretty compared to what the Clippers were doing on the court.  And as everyone knows, Ewing, although I love him, is co-captain with ex-Clip Sam Cassell (who I also love) on the All-Ugly Team.
That said, what initially killed the Clips, who lost 97-86, is that the Magic were on-fire from behind the [...]

Clippers Almost Sleep Through One O’Clock Game, Yet Beat Memphis Grizzles

AUTHOR: Alex David, aka Short White Boy | IN: Al Thornton, Baron Davis, Cavaliers, Chris Kaman, Clippers, Craig Smith, Eric Gordon, Grizzlies, Rasual Butler, Sebastian Telfair | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

No, there was no power shortage at the Clippers’ hotel that prevented their alarm clocks from waking them up.  They weren’t told the game would be later & thus had to scramble.  Nor did some foul fiend slip the whole team mickeys to knock ‘em out.  The game was in L.A., so they weren’t all in the same hotel and of course didn’t all eat together, so that rules out foul play from an outsider.  The team was even at the court on-time to prepare beforehand, yet somehow they still managed to sleepwalk through nearly 40 minutes of the game.
Those [...]

11 Things For Which A Los Angeles Clippers’ Fan Can Be Thankful

No sugar coating: we’ve had a sad start to the season due to injuries to two key players and disappointing loses.  However, while some view being a Clipper fan as a form of self-masochism (and not in that kinky fun way), really being a Clipper fan is all about hope.  About faith.  About believing things will get better.  We refuse to give up, and somehow we always believe that tomorrow will bring better days.  That if we gut it out, our day will come, and ohhh, then it will be all the sweeter (ie. see Red Sox; Winning World Series [...]
