Yes, the Clippers are terrible, but with Eric Gordon and Blake Griffin providing a balance of long distance treys and dunk highlights. Actually, there isn’t a balance with that. Who the hell watches youtube videos of knocking three pointers (I do, Ray Allen is my favorite player)? Griffins is giving people a reason to go the see this team play. I am going to see him twice (New York and New Jersey). I may even drive down to Philadelphia to see Griffin play. He …

With Team USA winning the FIBA World Championship for the first time since 1994, a congratulation is in order. The team looked shaky in the beginning with different personalities and playing styles clashing, but game after game, you can see improvement. Then, they started to look like a team. It came together in the Brazil game. Tiego Splitter was tearing apart the interior D, and all seemed to be lost when turnover after turnover occurred. After all of these intangibles working against America’s club, every …

Bucks 83, Knicks 67
After the deadline, the Knicks played with a lot of energy in their first game, against the red-hot Thunder. Well, that energy was absent in this one as the Bucks beat the Knicks pretty handily. Rather than bash the Knicks for sucking, I think most can agree to chalk this up to dealing with new players getting used to each other and Coach D’Antoni’s system. It also didn’t help New York that Andrew Bogut had 24 points and 20 rebounds. Tracy McGrady had a solid 15 points, …

It’s been reported that Marcus Camby to the Blazers for Steve Blake, Travis Outlaw (who is expected back in March) and cash is all but a done deal.  Until it is officially signed by both teams and approved by David Stern this is obviously still a rumor but Outlaw’s agent basically confirmed that both teams agreed on the deal and the final step is sending it in for the final OK.
This is a blockbuster trade!  It may not have those huge blockbuster names involved but this trade could really put Portland in …

Celtics 107, Heat 102
Rajon Rondo continued to lead this Celtics team after hinting at locker room rifts helping the C’s to a 107 to 102 win at home against the Heat.  Paul Pierce set out this game with an injured left foot and will probably miss Friday’s game at well.  Rondo finished with 22 points, 14 assists, and 6 rebounds in the win.  He still struggled from the free throw line hitting just eight of fourteen attempts.  Ray Allen also played well for the C’s leading the team with 23 …

In a report from the Wall-Street Journal, Clipper fans are (apprantely) the most faithful/dedicated fans in the NBA… EVER!  Sports-reference.com made a study that analized things like a cities population, if another team plays in that city, prior attendance, winning perctages etc.  Somehow, after all that, the Clippers came out on top with a close second for Warrior fans!
Just a little background on the Clippers, they have had a losing season 17 out of the last 20 seasons and the Clippers and Warriors have a combined .399 winning percentage since …
