Hopefully josh smith doesn't douche it up here

With the Prigioni signing we're probably done and pretty easy to say it was a successful offseason. A starting five of Paul, Redick, Pierce, Griffin and Jordan is up there with the best and now we have a probable bench rotation of Stephenson, Crawford, Johnson, Smith, Rivers, Aldrich and Prigioni. That is way stronger and infinitely more flexible than last year.

What if a team pulled an offer from a player? Probably doesn't end well

Happens. They just say he failed the physical and void the contract.

I was pretty happy with that for an opening night performance with so many new faces. The starters did what they always do and the bench showed me quite a bit, even though Johnson and Smith both had really off nights and Pierce did little until the final quarter. We dominated the game for 3.5 quarters, so as frustrating as it was to let them back into it they really just started hitting all their shots and had a whole bunch of stuff go their way. Far from perfect, but not bad either. Bigger challenges to come in the not too distant future.

Cleepers.

dubs!

Get outta here

cleepers really smelling like ass

Clippers miss Matt Barnes. Stephenson is garbage and Pierce is to old. Barnes did so well moving without the ball. He can score 10 a night without ever dribbling. He is also a very good rebounder for a guard, a plus defender and a good enough three point shooter that you have to guard him. He also cuts well if you are not paying attention to him.

Plus Barnes dominates in neck tats

If I'm in an alley and ray lewis is on one side and matt barnes is on the other, I run to ray lewis

Cleepers rolling now

Stephenson was a good pickup

[OregonLAA]

Pierce has yet to make an impact. Pretty disappointing. I would love to know how Doc's rotations were in Boston. They are terrible here. Hopefully Crawfors is traded soon

[Hollyw00d]

Nice win in Brooklyn. Apparently they hadn't won there in 8 years

Famous POS Blake Griffin out for a few weeks after he broke his hand punching a staffer.

Report: Blake Griffin broke his hand hitting an equipment staff member multiple times

 

That does not look good at all. 

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

I hope the staffer sues him as well.  What an overrated dumb ass.

Stay classy, Blake

[Hollyw00d]

Wow.

I wouldn't be mad if the clippers traded him

[Oz27]

Wow.

It puts them in a seriously hard position. If this was, say, Lance or Wes, they would never play for the Clippers again. Instead this is a guy a massive part of our future is built around. I can't f'n believe it.

I worry this could mean we drop to the fifth or sixth seed as well. A first round matchup against Okc without home court advantage would be as disastrous as it gets.

ESPN said that there may be talks between the Clippers and the Thunder about a deal involving Kevin Durant. OKC has pretty much zero chance of re-signing Durant. Griffin played at Oklahoma and would be a local favorite.

Trading griffin for rental? I think you're better off trying to get Love from Cleveland

[happybat4]

Got Jeff Green who is an upgrade. I wish they kept Barnes.

They said that the deal would have been a sign-and-trade.

[nando714]

I think Durant ends up in Washington. Just my 2 cents
