Puke.... damn all is lost.

please god put some sense into the head of jim buss please

The clippers are stacked. Players are willing to take a discount to go there. They better capitalize on that roster soon before its too late

Wow.

I have no other words.

Chris Paul was responsible for this.

wow! WTF I think the only players we getting is on are summer league roster.

You guys are doing good nowadays.

This was a very solid pick up but I still think clippers are one post player away from going all the way. This isn't hating at all. I'm not sold on blake. His jump shot is suspect. He can hit the mid range at times but isn't consistent, he has no post moves, he looks lost when double teamed, and he disappears when you play physical with him (see memphis series). He needs a lot of work on the offensive end. This lob city approach is fun and games in the regular season but like the memphis series, when you take away their dunks their front court turns into nobodies. I think deandre was averaging like 2 points in the playoffs and blake's average took a 5 point dip and so did he rebounding by a couple. If they can get someone solid on the block and than can make something happen or have blake learn some moves than I think they have a legit shot. Until then, I think memphis, spurs, and thunder have their number. Those teams have physical guys that can make blake and deandre uncomfortable. Just my thought on the clippers. I think their a very good and deep team but I THINK they're a post player away from winning the west no doubt.

Guess he chose the Clippers because he's "Scared of the Lakers spotlight" lol lol

I wonder how much of Stern's actions against the Lakers (veto/CBA) had on this cascading effect that the Lakers have been experiencing. He really buried us didn't he?

Clippers doin' work.. And the already-competitive west becoming even most competitive... I think it'll be very difficult for us to even make the playoffs these year, unless Mitch and Jim take out an ace up their sleeve...

I'm saying Chris Paul probably spoke with Collison about going there. They were teammates in N.O and Chris Paul kind of mentored him.

ive been a clip fan for over 12 years. It was very difficult at times, but once blake came along it finally rewarded tbe fans for the loyalty during the lean years
