Clippers

After a scorching 4-0 start to the regular season, things quickly fell off of a cliff for the retooled Clippers as an injury ravaged roster struggled through a tougher portion of their schedule and lost nine straight games to fall to 5-11. While they have climbed out of that hole to an extent by winning [...]

Lonzo Ball has a fan in head coach Doc Rivers. In advance of his team’s victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, the Los Angeles Clippers’ head coach told reporters he has extremely high hopes for Hollywood’s headlining rookie, per Lakers.com’s Mike Trudell: Doc Rivers says he’s very high on @ZO2_: “He’s not (just) [...]

Will head coach Doc Rivers be finishing the season with the Los Angeles Clippers? The question seemed a little ludicrous a few weeks ago. The Clippers were 4-0 and sporting one of the NBA’s best defenses. Since, then, though, they’ve lost 11 of 12 games, including their last nine. No team in the league is [...]

Ignorance is bliss. That’s Kristaps Porzingis’ story, and he’s sticking to it months later. With the New York Knicks set to face the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday, The Big Apple’s superstar is, naturally, being pressed about his run-in with, um, hackers this past May, who tweeted the following from his account: [tweet https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/861011022294925312] Porzingis, [...]

Things between Blake Griffin and Chris Paul were absolutely as awkward and combustible as you think they were. Paul is now a member of the Houston Rockets, so this doesn’t matter anymore. But the two spent more than a half-decade together on the Los Angeles Clippers, ostensibly jostling for alpha status. And while the tense [...]

The Los Angeles Clippers lost more than the game against the Miami Heat on Sunday. They lost Danilo Gallinari, too. The 29-year-old was forced out of action in the first half with a hip injury, something he’s been laboring through for a few games, per the Los Angeles Times‘ Kevin Baxter: The Clippers lost Danilo Gallinari after he [...]

DeAndre Jordan is in a ridiculously weird spot. When he first signed his current contract, no one thought he’d opt into the final year, next season, worth $24.1 million. But then the NBA’s free-agency market this past season cratered. And then the market for bigs who don’t shoot tanked even harder than that. And now [...]

Former Boston Celtics coach and current Los Angeles Clippers head honcho Doc Rivers is a fan of the Kyrie Irving trade. More specifically, he believes Boston is the ideal landing spot for the All-Star floor general. From the Boston Sports Journal’s Brian Robb (via HoopsHype): The Clippers head coach was back in town Wednesday to [...]

Kyrie Irving is a wanted man. Despite the rampant debate among basketball folks about whether the All-Star point guard can carry a team without LeBron James, plenty of teams have registered official interest in acquiring his services. The full list, according to ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski: San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix Suns, Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks and Miami Heat. Here’s [...]

Blake Griffin is confident the Los Angeles Clippers didn’t just hand him a five-year, $173 million contract to begin next season on the bench. So, yay(?) Griffin’s 2016-17 campaign ended less than three games into the Clippers’ first-round playoff matchup with the Utah Jazz due to a right big toe injury. While the timetable for [...]
