Clippers represent a different brand of ‘super team’

The creation of the “super team,” where big stars team up together in order to chase championship rings has been a reoccurring theme in the NBA lately.

The Miami Heat did it two seasons ago and have reached the NBA Finals both seasons since Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh came together.

Celtics’ Kevin Garnett will be back next year

Boston Celtics’ power forward Kevin Garnett has hinted that his Game 7 loss to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals may have been his final game but if anyone knows how much of a competitor Garnett is, then rest assure you will see him next year.

He will be playing for a fraction of the $21 million he made last season though which may actually be a good thing for the Celtics who will use the extra money to add more firepower around Garnett and his teammates.

Clippers’ Blake Griffin is the six million dollar man

Los Angeles Clippers’ forward Blake Griffin is a highlight reel wrapped in a conundrum. Griffin led the league in dunks this season but his production wasn’t nearly as spectacular as some of his above-the-rim acrobatics.

His second-year numbers were actually worse than the numbers he posted his rookie season. It seems weird that his numbers would decline when you consider he didn’t have a point guard as good as Chris Paul to get him the ball during his rookie year.

Battle Los Angeles: Clippers, Lakers fight to avoid Grizzlies in 1st round

It’s a tough job but somebody has to do it. Right now the Los Angeles Clippers are currently sitting in fourth place in the West and are looking at a showdown with the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round.

The Clippers are only a half game behind the Los Angeles Lakers but they have essentially run out of time. The Lakers only have one game left on their schedule and it is against the lowly Sacramento Kings. The Clippers have two tougher games left on their schedule since they have to play the Atlanta Hawks and the New York Knicks on the road.

Will Griffin, Clippers get pushed around in the playoffs?

The Los Angeles Clippers have been on a tear lately winning 13 of their last 16 games but as the playoffs approach, teams feel they may have found a chink in the Clippers’ armor. On Thursday night, the Phoenix Suns were able to limit Clippers’ star forward Blake Griffin with hard fouls.

Griffin got off to a hot start as he poured in 14 points in the first quarter. Then the Suns decided it was time to change tactics as they beat and hacked Griffin throughout the rest of the game. 

Clippers have style, no substance

The Los Angeles Clippers have been in a funk lately. A funk that has been in effect for the entire month of March as the team has gone 6-9 and dropped down to sixth place in the Western Conference.

Kevin Love dominates Blake Griffin

Here’s an interesting fact for you. The Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Clippers have played each other three times so far this season. You know what the record is between these two teams? 3-0 Minnesota.

Chauncey Billups is done with the Clippers

The Los Angeles Clippers are the seventh team Chauncey Billups has played with in his career (he played two separate stints in Denver) and may possibly be the last team he will ever play with after suffering a season-ending injury against the Orlando Magic on Monday night. He is done for the season with a torn Achilles but with the severity of the injury and his advanced age, he also may have played his very last game in the NBA.

Should the Clippers trade Griffin for Howard?

Over the past week, the Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard has added the Los Angeles Clippers to the list of teams he would like to be traded to. There’s not a scarier thought for teams around the league than the idea of Howard joining Chris Paul in Lob City but should the Clippers trade Blake Griffin to get him?

Post Man Cometh: Is Dwight Howard the Last Dominant Big Man?

I wonder if Dwight Howard feels lonely. With the retirement of Shaquille O’Neal and Yao Ming over the past year it seems like the era of the dominant 20-and-10 big man has come to an end. Once a staple of the NBA, teams are now happy to get a serviceable defender to play the post. For those of us who remember the glory days, it’s frightening to see skinny offensively-challenged centers like Joakim Noah and Tyson Chandler become coveted names in free agency.
