Clipper Staples is for everyone
Expectations were huge on Wednesday night as the Clippers finally had the dynamite duo of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard playing together for the first time. Even though both players would be playing limited minutes it would be the first time fans of the Clippers and basketball fans around the world would see what got …
Clippers just might live up to the hype
Writer Jon Weisman sent a tweet to me because he knows I’m a long-suffering Clipper fan. It was an image that no Clipper had ever seen before. Vegas had already made the Clippers the odds on favorite to win the NBA title but this was from the East Coast. Eight different writers had picked the …
Seismic shift hits Los Angeles
Even though Kawhi Leonard to the Clippers had been rumored for well over a year by well-respected sources I don’t think many Clipper fans really felt it would happen. As Clipper fans have heard every day for forever, no superstar will ever WANT to play for the Clippers. My wife just came home from Dallas …
Rarely does a Clipper loss look so bright
The Clippers lost on Sunday to the best team in the NBA, but they didn’t go easily and even in the loss, the Clippers could take solace in the play of their rookies.

Did this happen?
It is Feb 7th, the Clippers have just unloaded their best player and their starting shooting guard. It appears they are waving the white flag. Jerry West – Hey Magic, this is Jerry, we just acquired a sharpshooting center/forward that I think would fit in perfect for your team. Magic – Mike Muscala? Yeah, I …
Clippers complete insane Grammy road trip
The Clippers and Lakers have both been making the annual Grammy road trips ever since the Grammy Awards decided to make Staples Center their home, but never has there been a Grammy road trip like the Clippers just completed. The Clippers only went 3 – 3 on this trip but given the context of those …
Lou Williams gives sellers remorse over and over
Watching Lou Williams once again decimate the Lakers on Friday Night, I got to thinking that every team that has traded him, has to be suffering from sellers remorse and he’s been traded three times in five years. Lou Williams was traded by the Hawks in the summer of 2014 for John Salmons. Lou would …
