The L.A. Clippers’ losing skid has now hit nine games following their loss to the New York Knicks on Monday night. And according to the New York Times’ Marc Stein, the seat of championship-winning Clippers coach Doc Rivers is inevitably set to get warmer as a result. Nine straight defeats, as well as the manner […]

Playing against a former team is no longer a unique experience for Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe. But it must be at least a little weird for him to play in Phoenix on Wednesday, now wearing a different uniform. It would be the first time Bledsoe will be facing the Phoenix Suns since general manager […]

The L.A. Clippers began the season with plenty of optimism and excitement about their next chapter. Trading Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets was only half of their story. Not only was it Blake Griffin’s time to shine as the leader of the team, but the players acquired in the trade made the team a […]

During much of the offseason, it was a constant circus for the New York Knicks that partly centered around forward Kristaps Porzingis’ standing with the organization. This came into further question after a tweet was sent out from his account that seemed to hint at him wanting to possibly join the L.A. Clippers. It didn’t […]

Things are not going so well for the L.A. Clippers these days. After a 102-87 loss to the Charlotte Hornets, the Clippers have now lost eight games in a row, and 10 of their last 11 games since starting 4-0 on the season. The situation has gotten to the point where some drastic changes will […]

It has been a rough stretch for the L.A. Clippers after losing their eighth straight game in an 102-87 loss to the equally-struggling Charlotte Hornets. Not only do they continue to falter down the final stretch, but they have given up at least 100 points in all but six games so far in the 2017-18 NBA season. […]

NBA stars usually are seeing their careers trend downhill in their 15th season in the NBA. Through 15 games of the 2017-18 season, 32-year old Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James has continued to defy the odds as he impress fans, players, and coaches alike. Unfortunately for the struggling LA Clippers, who have lost six consecutive […]

Just like the first 12 opponents, the LA Clippers, led by scoring machine Lou Williams and head coach Doc Rivers, saw firsthand what the likely future 2018 Rookie of the Year in Ben Simmons can do on Monday night at Staples Center. The 76ers point-forward torched the Clippers for 22 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, […]

It is no secret to NBA fans that Philadelphia 76ers rising star center Joel Embiid is one of the most outspoken players in the league, especially when it comes to his presence on social media. On Tuesday night, Embiid went on his Twitter to take yet another shot at LA Clippers center Willie Reed when […]

The LA Clippers are in the midst of a new era in their franchise, having lost nine players and added another nine this past offseason. When looking at the Clippers’ most successful four-year stretch in team history, however, one has to look no further than shooting guard J.J. Redick. Redick joined the Clippers after agreeing […]

Tempers flared between Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid and L.A. Clippers big man Willie Reed when Reed delivered a hard foul on Embiid, which was assessed as a Flagrant 1. Embiid and the Sixers eventually got the last laugh as they won 109-105 on the back of Embiid’s 32 points and 16 rebounds. One would’ve […]

Joel Embiid brought the nasty staredown into Lob City, making eye contact with L.A. Clippers star Blake Griffin after crushing a baseline dunk. Griffin thought about challenging the shot, but upon seeing the 7-footer rise up with such force, just stood aside and watched as his teammates DeAndre Jordan was pump-faked out of his shoes, […]

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick got a fitting tribute video upon his first return as a visiting player at Staples Center, a place he called home for the last four years of his career. Redick’s four-year stint with the L.A. Clippers was showcased in the big screen during the game’s first timeout — an […]

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid doesn’t appear to be too popular with opposing big men around the league these days. He’s already had notable bust-ups with the Miami Heat’s Hassan Whiteside and the Detroit Pistons’ Andre Drummond earlier this season. And now, L.A. Clippers backup big man Willie Reed is the latest to get Embiid’s […]

L.A. Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari has been ruled out for Monday night’s showdown with the up-and-coming Philadelphia 76ers which would be his fourth-straight missed contest. Gallinari is still dealing with a nagging glute injury that is taking some time to heal. When was asked by ClutchPoints’ Tomer Azarly about when he thinks he’ll be back […]

It’s only been 12 games in a different uniform for marksman J.J. Redick, who signed with the Philadelphia 76ers on a one-year, $23 million deal this offseason after spending his last four with the L.A. Clippers. As the Sixers go through the final stages of a five-game road trip, taking on the Clippers tonight and […]

Paul George has had some bad shooting nights since joining. He had nights when it appeared there was no way he could have been an All-Star or former Olympian and sometimes got lost in the shuffle. That was not the case Friday night when the Oklahoma City Thunder hosted the L.A. Clippers. George poured in […]

L.A. Clippers star Blake Griffin is finally back healthy and is looking to expand himself. He remains one of the city’s most well-known athletes and has yet to hit his peak. The high-flying forward is embracing his new role as the leader of the Clippers, expecting to take them far beyond what they’ve been able […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder are attracting plenty of attention for mostly the wrong reason. Despite brandishing one of the most talented core of players led by the trio of Russell Westbrook, Paul George, and Carmelo Anthony, the Thunder are off to an underwhelming start, going just 4-7 in the first 11 games. After losing to […]

Will Commissioner Adam Silver be the NBA’s Bad Guy? Unlike his predecessor David Stern and NFL counterpart Roger Goodell, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has maintained a relatively positive image from fans, media, owners and players of the league he governs. Stern became a villain after trying to change the material of the basketball without the […]

It has been a tough start to the season for the Oklahoma City Thunder dropping seven out of their first 11 games. Things could become a bit more difficult on Friday night against the L.A. Clippers as veteran big man Steven Adams could miss the matchup due to a calf injury, according to Erik Horne […]

According to Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times, LA Clippers guard Austin Rivers suffered a left ankle injury during practice on Thursday and is listed as questionable for Friday night’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Jamal Crawford embarked on one of the last few major decisions of his career after signing with the Minnesota Timberwolves in the offseason after being traded from the L.A. Clippers to the Atlanta Hawks, after spending five years with the franchise — the longest stretch of his career. The Clippers made the postseason each year […]

The L.A. Clippers will be without two of their starters for Friday’s matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder, as Patrick Beverley and Danilo Gallinari were declared out for the game, according to the Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints. Beverley is nursing a sore right knee and was sent home by the team, as he’s set to […]

Blake Griffin can electrify people with his array of spectacular dunks, but he also aspires to impress people with his humor. Perhaps not a lot of people know that Griffin sometimes dabbles with comedy, as he’s done a few stand-up acts before. Griffin’s material may not be as good as that of, say, Louis C.K. […]

L.A. Clippers star Blake Griffin’s alley-oop slam over a Kia during the 2011 NBA Dunk Contest was one of the more memorable moments in the competition’s history. Just about everything involved in it was noteworthy: from the choir singing in the background, to Kenny Smith serving as a hype man, to the actual automobile on […]

L.A. Clippers superstar Blake Griffin established himself early on as a highlight reel for show-stopping dunks. He furthered his high-flying profile by winning the NBA Slam Dunk Contest and playing a vital role in the ‘Lob City’ era of the Clippers. However, Blake Griffin has since become a much more complete player as he enters […]

Outside of being a constant presence in the playoffs, the L.A. Clippers weren’t exactly successful during the six seasons in which Chris Paul manned the point for the team. The Clippers never reached the conference finals during Paul’s stint with the team but it’s undeniable that the Clippers enjoyed its best run when the future […]

Coming into the 2016-17 season, James Johnson was one of the NBA’s most versatile players, but also a journeyman of the league. Drafted by the Chicago Bulls, Johnson hadn’t played more than two consecutive years with a single team in the league, jumping around from Chicago to Toronto, then to Sacramento, Memphis, and back to […]

The L.A. Clippers are adjusting to life after Chris Paul. Paul was one of the few reasons the team has been able to rebound from a losing culture after he was traded to the team in December 2011. For six seasons he led the Clippers to a remarkable .658 winning percentage and multiple playoff berths, […]

The LA Clippers had a great start to their season be followed up with a number of disappointing efforts that’s resulted in the 5-4 record they have right now. To make matters worse, forward Danilo Gallinari, who has been struggling with his shot to start the season, left the Clippers’ latest game against the Miami […]

There have been a ton of shakeups in the NBA so far this past offseason, as well as perceived values of how good or bad teams are at the moment. That being said, many expected and still may expect two of the top moves this offseason in Chris Paul and Gordon Hayward to cause the […]

Earlier this summer, the NBA announced that they would be shortening the 2017-18 preseason in order to extend the regular season another week in order to allow more resting periods for teams while splitting up the large number of back-to-back sets. For the LA Clippers, that meant they could hopefully get fewer back-to-backs, specifically the […]

On a night where all eyes were on the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 of the World Series, the LA Clippers got back on track against the visiting Dallas Mavericks in a 119-98 victory. The Clippers, coming off of back to back losses to the Detroit Pistons and the Golden State […]

Apart from basketball, another sport L.A. Clippers head coach Doc Rivers also follows very closely is golf. He’s apparently such a huge golf fan that he once tried to get himself thrown out of a game to watch Tiger Woods at the Masters while coaching the Boston Celtics. He finally owned up to it years […]

Sam Dekker will remain with the Los Angeles Clippers at least until 2019 after it was reported by Michael Scotto of Basketball Insiders that the team has picked up their option on the Los Angeles Clippers forward. Los Angeles Clippers will pick up the fourth-year team option on forward Sam Dekker, a league source told […]

Not everyone was pleased with the Golden State Warriors’ 28-point win against the L.A. Clippers on Monday night, bouncing right back from a loss to the Detroit Pistons at the end of a three-game home stand by cutting their turnovers in half and pushing the lead past any type of hope after the third quarter. […]

Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors handed the L.A. Clippers a 141-113 loss Monday, but the do-it-all forward did more than just help his team damage the Clippers’ record. He also tried to hurt Clippers guard Wesley Johnson’s feelings. During one play in the game, Johnson blew past his defender and went for a […]

Prior to trading All-Star point guard Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets, the L.A. Clippers had been sidetracked by the constant internal issues that had arisen over the last couple of years. A part of that was the conflict between Paul and All-Star forward Blake Griffin that had become a constant because of the lack […]
