The LA Clippers wrapped up their offseason quicker and quieter than most teams did, electing for a handful of minor moves to improve their roster on the margins as opposed to adding a superstar. Within a week, the organization re-signed Kawhi Leonard, Reggie Jackson, and Nicolas Batum while also agreeing to a deal with Justise […]

The LA Clippers are in the best era their franchise has ever seen to date. Superstars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are Clippers leading the pursuit of the team’s first NBA Championship. None of this would be possible, however, without the shift the organization made with Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Jamal Crawford, and the rest […]

The LA Clippers have an exciting season ahead of them despite the absence of Kawhi Leonard to start the 2021-22 NBA season. Paul George is set to have an MVP-caliber season with all their free agents re-signed and roster re-tooled around him. Still, the Clippers do have some concerns heading into the new campaign. Here […]

Every so often, an NBA player comes out of nowhere to win MVP, defying all betting odds and experts’ educated guesses. It’s a tough award to predict, particularly now that an aging LeBron James has proven to be just as vulnerable to injuries as the rest of the league. The top five candidates in terms […]

The Los Angeles Clippers had a respectable showing last season. They were able to make it deep into the 2021 NBA playoffs. However, they still failed to reach the NBA Finals and fell short in attaining their title aspirations. Their top player in Kawhi Leonard, who sat out the latter end of their postseason campaign, […]

Former Chicago Bulls center and Defensive Player of the Year Joakim Noah built a reputation as one of the best defensive minds in the league during his prime. However, Noah recently admitted that he had nightmares about a certain Los Angeles Clippers star during his rookie year. When asked about his “Welcome to the NBA […]

Paul Pierce is no stranger to being counted out and dismissed. When the Boston Celtics drafted Pierce in 1998 at number 10, Pierce etched the nine teams who passed on him into his mind. Today, as Pierce accepted his induction into the Hall of Fame, the now-Celtics legend put those teams on blast, thanking them […]

After being the laughing stock of the entire NBA for decades, the Los Angeles Clippers have managed to successfully bridge together two eras of success. Before Kawhi Leonard and Paul George made the jump back in 2019, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan turned LAC into a perennial playoff contender. But despite piling on […]

There’s no denying that Kawhi Leonard was the main man behind the Toronto Raptors’ fairytale-like championship run in 2019. Despite spending just one season with the Raptors, the two-time Finals MVP had a tremendous impact on the franchise. As it turns out, however, Leonard didn’t exactly have the best reputation during his time with the […]

DeAndre Jordan is no stranger to Los Angeles. The big man spent the first decade of his career as a foundational piece on a relatively successful Clippers team. But even then, Jordan knew they were always going to be second fiddle to the Lakers, via ClutchPoints’ Michael Corvo. “I think I was treated pretty fairly […]

Some say Kawhi Leonard is a cyborg. As ridiculous as it may sound, Tyrese Haliburton’s experience while playing against the L.A. Clippers star only supports the idea. Kidding aside, the Sacramento Kings guard was a guest on JJ Redick’s “The Old Man and the Three” podcast, where Haliburton shared his “welcome to the NBA” moment […]

With a number of stars changing teams this past offseason, there’s a newfound excitement ahead of the 2021-22 NBA season. Most notably, Russell Westbrook joined the Los Angeles Lakers, Kyle Lowry joined the Miami Heat and DeMar DeRozan joined the Chicago Bulls, but Kawhi Leonard elected to remain with Paul George and the Los Angeles […]

With NBA free agency coming to a close, we saw a lot of teams beef up their rosters. Some notable move include Kyle Lowry joining the Miami Heat, Russell Westbrook getting traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, and DeMar DeRozan inking a deal with the Chicago Bulls. Free agency offers teams the chance to retool […]

Kyle Lowry recently opened up about how Kawhi Leonard’s style of play earned him a bit of a notorious reputation among some folks. This time around, another one of Leonard’s former Los Angeles Clippers teammates in Lou Williams, who is now with the Atlanta Hawks, has decided to apeak out on Kawhi’s work ethic. In […]

The LA Clippers are oddly in a good spot for the upcoming NBA season, simply because they are not going to be held to any expectations. With Kawhi Leonard expected to be out for most if not all of the regular season while recovering from ACL surgery, no one is expecting LA to seriously compete […]

The fact that the NBA resumes play in a bubble in Disneyworld feels like a fever dream a year later. While there were a handful of crazy stories that stemmed from that interesting time, one of the most memorable involved Lou Williams, who was playing for the Los Angeles Clippers at the time. Lou Williams […]

After dropping Certified Lover Boy late on Thursday night, Drake surprised the world by having Kawhi Leonard make an appearance in the music video for “Way 2 Sexy.” The video itself is a hilarious mashup of movie references. However, Twitter has been roasting Kawhi Leonard’s hair instead. Kawhi has that Kevin Durant hair without the […]

Drake’s new album Certified Lover Boy has been the talk of the town since it was released. Well, on Friday, a photo and video circulated featuring Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard making a shocking guest appearance in Drake’s music video. And, well, just look for yourselves. KAWHI in the Way 2 Sexy music video […]

The Los Angeles Clippers are already facing an uphill battle next season with Kawhi Leonard on the sidelines. But the NBA scheduling gods aren’t doing them any favors, either. After a jam-packed NBA season last year, the Clippers have been given the most stretches wherein they’ll have to play five games in seven days. They’re […]

Rajon Rondo is officially back with the Los Angeles Lakers, joining other guys rewinding it with the squad, including Dwight Howard, Trevor Ariza and Wayne Ellington. In the first place, Rondo shouldn’t have been released last season, especially after being an integral piece to the Lakers’ title run in the NBA Bubble. While many people […]

The Los Angeles Clippers moved on from Rajon Rondo rather quickly this offseason. After just 18 regular season appearances and 13 playoff appearances, Tyronn Lue‘s Clippers traded Rondo along with Patrick Beverley and Daniel Oturu to the Memphis Grizzlies for Eric Bledsoe. Rondo, in turn, agreed to a buyout with Memphis and joined the Los […]

In this specific post, we’ll continue our unhappy NBA stars series with a look at some Clippers trades LA can make to make a run to the Finals. Given the amount of unhappy stars in the league — Ben Simmons, Damian Lillard, De’Aaron Fox, and so many more — it’ll be interesting to see what […]

The LA Clippers have reportedly expressed interest in free agent forward Paul Millsap. The addition of Millsap would cap off an offseason that included signing Kawhi Leonard, Reggie Jackson, Nicolas Batum, and Justise Winslow, as well as trading for Eric Bledsoe. Teams like the Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, Chicago Bulls, and Los Angeles Lakers […]

NBA veteran Paul Millsap is clearly a hot commodity this summer. With the Brooklyn Nets and Golden State Warriors already showing interest in signing the 36-year-old, the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Clippers have now entered the race as well, according to The Athletic’s Sham Charania. Millsap spent the last four seasons with the Denver […]

Before Kawhi Leonard even chose the Los Angeles Clippers in free agency, then-head coach Doc Rivers called the Toronto Raptors star the “closest thing we’ve seen to Michael Jordan.” The Clippers were fined $50,000 by the NBA for the comments Rivers made as a guest on ESPN’s NBA Finals special. The thing about his comments, […]

Paul Pierce was all about the smoke during clutch situations when he starred for the Boston Celtics. That phrase, however, has taken an entirely different meaning these days. The Celtics legend has been busy with a bunch of other ventures since he was given the pink slip as ESPN analyst early this year. On Sunday, […]

Kawhi Leonard has had an illustrious NBA career that’s taken twists and turns no one saw coming. The two-time NBA Champion, now currently with the Los Angeles Clippers, came into the league as a strong, lanky defender with an offensive game that needed developing. Now, he’s easily one of the best two-way players the league […]

Reports have continually stated that the Indiana Pacers are amenable to trading Jeremy Lamb, who has been hamstrung by injuries of late. The wing is entering the final season of a three-year, $32 million deal and has an uncertain role in new head coach Rick Carlisle’s rotation. With Lamb out of the starting five and […]

Entering the 2021 offseason, the LA Clippers were very limited in what they could do. They were already very cap-strapped, and their means to improve the team relied solely on re-signing their free agents and trading for players under contract. Well, it was that, and the mid-level exception, which many thought would be spent on […]

Montrezl Harrell has packed his bags and is ready to make his move to the Washington Wizards official. Literally. The 27-year-old recently took to Instagram to share how he’s finishing up with his packing as he prepares to leave LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. Interestingly, Harrell had to include a cryptic parting shot […]

The LA Clippers will be without Kawhi Leonard to start the 2021-22 regular season, and there’s really no timetable for the star’s return. Leonard underwent surgery to repair a partially torn ACL on July 12th, and if his operation was a complete reconstruction of the ligament as if it was a partial tear, he would […]

Phoenix Suns head coach Monty Williams recently opened up about the Phoenix Suns’ crushing NBA Finals loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. The 49-year-old revealed several details that contributed to Phoenix’s downfall, with one of them being Chris Paul’s wrist injury. CP3 was playing through a considerable injury throughout the Finals, which was perhaps the biggest […]

The LA Clippers are scheduled to start the 2021-22 season without Kawhi Leonard. Unfortunately, there’s no timetable for his return following offseason surgery on a partially torn ACL. The team signed Leonard, Reggie Jackson, Nicolas Batum, and Justise Winslow while trading for Eric Bledsoe, setting themselves up for an immediate future without their two-time NBA […]

The Los Angeles Clippers traded away Rajon Rondo and Patrick Beverley to clear some luxury tax bill. In the process, however, they also got Eric Bledsoe who has been compared to LeBron James by CJ McCollum. In the latest episode of his “Pull Up with CJ McCollum” podcast, the Portland Trail Blazers star admitted he […]

The Chicago Bulls made a lot of noise in free agency with several huge moves. They now appear to have established them as real threats in the East for the upcoming season. One could actually argue that the Bulls won free agency with DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso all making their way to […]

The LA Clippers have turned their franchise around over the last decade, ousting their longtime racist owner and transforming into a legitimate, respectable organization. While they’ve had a lot of things going for them, they still face obstacles because of who they are and where they play. One of the cons for the LA Clippers […]

The LA Clippers 2021-22 season schedule is out. Without further ado, let’s dive into the top 10 games to watch. 10. April 10th – Oklahoma City Thunder @ LA Clippers For once in what feels like a long time, the LA Clippers will close out their regular season at home, taking on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and […]

The 2021-22 NBA season is expected to bring a new level of excitement even greater than its previous season. Russell Westbrook has joined the Los Angeles Lakers. Kyle Lowry has joined the Miami Heat. DeMar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball both joined the Chicago Bulls. Paul George and the LA Clippers, meanwhile, are one of the […]

The LA Clippers restructured their roster this offseason in preparation for a long stretch of the year without Kawhi Leonard. They’ve added defense in Justise Winslow, ball-handling in Eric Bledsoe, drafted three young guards, and retained their all their big-name free agents. Here are three burning questions that the Clippers will have to answer next […]
