Blake Griffin

Maybe Chris Paul isn’t such a flight risk after all. Following the Los Angeles Clippers’ first-round exit at the hands of the Memphis Grizzlies, I was of the mind that Paul would consider spurning Hollywood for a different locale. And I still am. Fellow Clipper Matt Barnes, however, is not. Speaking with ESPNLA 710, Barnes [...]

Stephen A. Smith is at it again. Speaking on ESPN’s First Take, Smith spoke of a potential blockbuster that could eventually go down between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Clippers. And I’m not even sure “blockbuster” does it justice. The deal in question would have both Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett being sent to [...]

Chris Paul hasn’t yet come out and said he’s re-signing with the Los Angeles Clippers directly, but he sure seems like he’s ultimately going to. Forget that the Clippers are in the playoffs for the second straight year. That doesn’t have as much to do with his decision right now. What does is how far [...]

Carmelo Anthony doesn’t dunk anymore because, well, he apparently doesn’t have to. Or so he says. Per Chris Herring of The Wall Street Journal, less than two percent of Melo’s points come off dunks (a career low), and he’s okay with that: Anthony’s dunk marked just his 19th slam of the season. His 21 dunk [...]

Kyrie Irving will be out 3-4 weeks with his latest shoulder injury and thus we continue to bear witness to the NBA’s version of the “Curse of Madden.” You know the curse I’m referring to, where any player who appears on the latest edition of the Madden video game franchise cover seems destined for excessive [...]

Serge Ibaka received an early (late?) Christmas gift from the NBA. Following an incident where Ibaka maliciously (yes, maliciously) struck Blake Griffin in the groin, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s power forward was fined $25,000 for his actions and his Flagrant 1 was upgraded to a Flagrant 2. Serge Ibaka has been fined $25,000 for his [...]

The NBA has a big issue on their hands. A huge one. Gigantic even. They have a sportsmanship problem. Almost a year ago, I penned a piece about sportsmanship, one that involved Serge Ibaka and Dwyane Wade. In that particular situation Ibaka and Wade became entangled. Okay, Ibaka essentially fell on Wade’s neck. The way [...]

Plenty of NBA teams will try to pry Dwight Howard from the Los Angeles Lakes this summer, but the Los Angeles Clippers won’t be one of them. Or will they? Per Chris Broussard of ESPN.com, there have been some rumblings that the Clippers are willing to make some cost-cutting moves in an attempt to lure [...]

Tyson Chandler, not Kevin Garnett should be starting for the Eastern Conference in the 2013 NBA All-Star Game. Case closed. In what was a completely expected snub, Garnett was named as an All-Star starter while Chandler was left to wonder if he would be able to make the final coaches cut. But while it was [...]
