Opinion: A Good Problem to Have - Who Starts for the Clippers? Part 2

26 Oct 2009 03:48:14 PDT

Written by Steve Perrin
As I mentioned last Thursday in Part 1 of this effort, other than the backcourt of Baron Davis and Eric Gordon, there are no givens in the starting lineup for the Clippers this season. The de facto starters going into training camp were Davis and Gordon, with Al Thornton, Marcus Camby and Ch...

Opinion: Clippers 124 - Warriors 117 (Pre-season) - A Tale of Two Halves

12 Oct 2009 11:29:43 PDT

Written by Steve Perrin
It's way too early, but tempting nonetheless, to say that Baron Davis is now ready to be the impact player the Clippers thought they were getting - a year later than expected, but better late than never. After being dismantled by his former teammate Monta Ellis in the first half, Baron came...

Opinion: The Far End of the Bench - Why the Clippers Could be Good this Season

04 Aug 2009 16:06:44 PDT

Written by Steve Perrin
Here's one way to look at the lack of quality at the end of the LA bench in recent years. In the last four seasons, by my count 10 players have occupied the Clippers' final four roster spots, 11 through 14 - N'Dong, Paul Davis, Hart, Dickau, Ewing, Patterson, Korolev, Skinner, Williams and Mc...

Opinion: The Clippers Have Blake Griffin

21 May 2009 08:13:34 PDT

Blake Griffin is everything you would want in a #1 pick in the draft. He is everybody's college basketball player of the year. He is the #1 pick on every single mock draft in the nation. His work ethic off the court will shame his team mates into working out harder. His effort on the court will urge h...

Opinion: The On-Court Issues

16 May 2009 19:08:13 PDT

Written by Kevin Arnovitz
The Clippers’ dysfunction and bad chemistry have been well-documented, and the cultural issues that surround the club must be addressed before the 2009-10 season opener. But even if the Clippers return to training camp as a svelte, rededicated bunch, there are some fundamental weakne...

Opinion: Celtics 90 - Clippers 77

23 Mar 2009 21:55:55 PDT

Written by citizen zhiv
So what went wrong? Clipper guards. Baron Davis, at this point, we half-expect to be mediocre or downright bad. He was pretty horrible, and killed a lot of the Clipper momentum at the end of the first half, taking command as the Clips were on the rise and making an impressive series of empt...

L.A. Clippers: Don't laugh. As dysfunctional as they've seemed this season, the Clips could be a playoff team next season on talent alone. Baron Davis and Eric Gordon make for a solid backcourt, the frontcourt trio of Zach Randolph, Chris Kaman and Marcus Camby is potent (if they're ever heal...

Opinion: A Misleading Game (Clippers Summary)

17 Nov 2008 23:53:32 PST

Written by 2757
Don’t be fooled by the Spurs’ 3 game win streak. If we play another game like that we may not win another one. Thank the gods that this particular game was played against possibly the only team in the league that could adequately have screwed up as many opportunities as we served up, the Los An...

Opinion: Lakers 522 - Clippers 4

29 Oct 2008 22:50:50 PDT

Written by ClipperSteve
Here's what was not good: Mr. Flippy. That game from Kaman scared the crap out of me. Because while we still spoke of Mr. Flippy last season, as it happens, he NEVER played that poorly all year. Not once. His worst game statistically (other than the Dallas game where he only played 12 minutes) w...

Opinion: Hollinger on Thornton and Baron

19 Oct 2008 14:53:39 PDT

Written by ClipperSteve
Throw in that he's 29 and has a history of injuries, that this is the Clippers, and that he joined the squad mainly for non-basketball reasons, and this one has the makings of a classic Clipper tragedy. While the Clips got the best player available in free agency once Elton Brand opted out, th...

Opinion: Chris Kaman - Bad Pre-Season = Great Regular Season?

16 Oct 2008 12:20:23 PDT

Written by ClipperSteve
The Clippers are 3-0 in pre-season, and there have been some incredibly bright spots. Mike Taylor is looking like the steal of the draft, Eric Gordon went off for 33 last night, Al Thornton looks sharp... and while the wins don't matter, they don't suck either.

Written by Brett Edwards
Up north where the Golden State Warriors play, it won't be pretty either, at least for the first few months of the season. That's because their best player (apologies, Mr. Maggette) decided to engage in low-speed moped riding during the off-season (this still amazes me ... the moped = injury pa...

Opinion: John Hollinger Ranks the Clippers 12th - Behind the Wolves

Written by ClipperSteve
Well Stein's ESPN colleague John Hollinger has released his Western Conference previews, and he has the Clippers ranked 12th in the Conference. Behind the Warriors AND the Timberwolves. Seriously. That's what he wrote. He's predicting 30 wins.

Opinion: Assessing the 08-09 Clippers

22 Sep 2008 17:22:42 PDT

Written by ClipperSteve
Of course, the changes this summer went way beyond the departure of Elton Brand and the arrival of Baron Davis. Gone from the Clippers' 2006 playoff team are Brand, Corey Maggette, Shaun Livingston, Sam Cassell and Quinton Ross. There have been lots of references to 'Baron for Brand' or '...

The fanfare of the Clippers’ frenetic offseason is behind us. Baron Walter Louis Davis (Crossroads ’97) has arrived home. Elton Brand is gone. Eric Gordon is the chic pick for Biggest Draft Day Bust…two months after Al Thornton emerged as The Best 2007-2008 Rookie Not Named Kevin Durant....

The Clippers lineup, as of today, is as follows: PG - Baron Davis, Brevin Knight SG - Cat Mobley, Eric Gordon SF - Al Thornton, Marcus Williams PF - Elton Brand, Tim Thomas, Nick Fazekas C - Chris Kaman, DeAndre Jordan Let the Baron Davis Era begin.

Clippers at Hornets - Game Preview and Open Thread

15 Apr 2008 13:49:19 PDT

Written by ClipperSteve
Tough Schedule. Based on last season's results, closing with games against the Rockets (5th in 06-07), Nuggets (6th), Lakers (7th), Warriors (8th) and Hornets (10th) would have made perfect sense for the barely-missed-the-07-playoffs Clippers. In fact, it would have given them a ch...

Opinion: Mavs 93 - Clippers 86

01 Apr 2008 01:54:31 PDT

Written by ClipperSteve
For now, I guess I have two things after all. First of all, Dallas is in BIG TROUBLE. With Kaman hurt, Mobley hurt and Maggette shooting 3 for 15 (0 for 8 on two pointers), and the Clippers as a team shooting 36.8%, they still needed every advantage the referees gave them in order to beat the Clip...

Opinion: Brand Recognition

27 Mar 2008 13:53:35 PDT

Written by ClipperSteve
It is not unreasonable to suggest that Chris Kaman would not have had the first half he had (before his injuries) sharing the low post with Elton Brand. Obviously he's getting more touches - though it's more difficult to suggest that he's getting easier looks given that defenses are able t...

Opinion: Minnesota 99, Clippers 96

08 Mar 2008 23:28:13 PST

I'm still uncommitted on the question as to whether the Clips need a true point in the game if that PG happens to be named Dan Dickau or Andre Barrett. It's also worth noting that the Minnesota Timberwolves score 24 points in the final eight minutes, largely because the Clippers' help defen...

Opinion: Elton Brand - Getting Closer

05 Mar 2008 10:32:26 PST

Written by ClipperSteve
Tim Thomas is still out with a strained groin muscle. (Why is it an adductor for Mobley, but a groin for Thomas? Seems like a double standard.) Not that he's my favorite Clipper, but he is 6'10", and he can score. With Brand and Davis out and Kaman's minutes limited, big guys are in short supp...

Opinion: Enver or Denver? Is There a D?

29 Feb 2008 11:38:37 PST

Written by ClipperSteve
11/21/07 - Clippers 101 Nuggets 90 (Clippers without Maggette and mostly without Cassell - just a dismal performance by Denver); 11/29/07 - Lakers 127 Nuggets 99 (a buddy invited me to the game at Staples); 11/30/07 - Nuggets 123 Clippers 107

Opinion: Part Two

23 Jan 2008 13:07:07 PST

And last summer Dunleavy tried to trade him for the Dallas Mavericks' Jason Terry over concerns that Maggette would opt out of his contract and become a free agent after this season, leaving behind the final year of his contract worth $7 million.

Written by ClipperSteve
The good news is that the Clippers are at home tonight, for their only home game in a period of over two weeks. The bad news is that they've actually been slightly worse at home this season (4-7) than on the road (5-7). They've also lost 5 straight at home. It doesn't get any easier tonight - Sam...

Opinion: Blind squirrel finds an acorn: Rockets 88, Clippers 71.

26 Nov 2007 22:25:56 PST

Written by Fran Blinebury(fran.blinebury@chron.com)
That's the beauty of the NBA. That's also the beauty of playing in a lineup where Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming draw the overwhelming share of the defensive attention. Rafer Alston took a giant step against the Clippers with 17 points, 9 assists and 5 rebounds.
