Clippers center DeAndre Jordan has a new favorite hobby: posting photos of his teammates while they sleep on the team bus/plane on his Twitter account.
Also, it says a lot about what winning can do for team camaraderie. When you win, every night is a going to be a lot of fun.
“CP3 said the most alley-oops he’d thrown before joining the Clippers was when he played with Tyson Chandler in N’awlins, and Chandler wanted the ball aimed just outside the rim. When Paul arrived in L.A. and talked to Blake, he found out that Blake didn’t want the ball adjacent to the rim. “Instead of throwing right in front of the goal,” CP3 said, “Blake wants it back, really far back.” Paul pointed like a foot outside the rim. (“I try to add some flair to it,” Blake said.)”

Dear NBA, thanks for honoring the ABA. Now please burn these jerseys and leave no evidence.
For those that don’t know, the Clippers and the Girzz wore these atrocious uniforms to help celebrate the 45th anniversary of the founding of the ABA. The Clippers were representing the Los Angeles Stars and the Grizzlies were in the colorway of the Memphis Tams.
Thanks but no thanks, NBA.
Kobe Bryant, on Chris Paul and the dust up between Paul and Pau Gasol at the end of last night’s game.
Gasol, Lakers show they’re still full of fight - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
It’s interesting to see how Kobe Bryant is down playing the budding rivalry between the Lakers and Clippers in Wojnarowski’s article. If it was just another friendly game between big brother and little brother, the game wouldn’t have been as physical and playoff like as it was. The calendar may say it’s still January, but at Staples, it felt like May. It felt like game five and the series was tied at two games a piece.
Side note: Lakers/Clippers isn’t a rivalry, technically, it’s a derby.
Chris Paul does not like to be touched, sir. He doesn’t like to lose, either.
He was 0 for 2 tonight as the Clippers lost and Pau fondled his head.
NO-LOOK LOB CITY

Lob City - Chris Paul

It wasn’t a lob, but the first Clippers dunk of the season was vicious.
NEW at The NBA Offseason Store: ’Welcome to LOBS ANGELES’
When Chris Paul was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, Blake Griffin and Deandre Jordan were gleaming. Two of the best dunkers in the game teaming up with the best passer in the game? They said “it’s going to be lob city”, but we all know, this is LOBS ANGELES!
No need to photoshop anymore. Chris Paul makes it official.
And if you care, here’s a picture of the OTHER Point Gaurd the Clippers found on the sidewalk.

Just in time for Christmas.
Honestly, when you think about the LA Clippers, and their past, and their owner, and their spending, and their rep…this…this is just crazy, right?
