PrintMissed last night's game (see our Fearless Leader's recap here). It looked like one of those games, where I would get frustratingly mad at the tv!...Enjoy the links after the jump. Hat tip to those citizens who may have already posted some of these on the fanshots...too many to name!
Blake Griffin Baseline 180 vs. Grizzlies | SportsGrid
And if you think this was Blake Griffin's only highlight in the Clippers' 98-91 win over the Grizzlies last night, then you obviously don't watch Blake Griffin very much. He also had this spin-o-rama slam, and a rebound (yes, a rebound) that was noteworthy.

Laker players are beginning to resemble Laker fans
Whole lot of whining and complaining. Really annoying.

For a team that kept saying, "It's just one game,"
two weeks ago they sure were celebrating “just one game” on Wednesday night. Chumps.

Exactly...
they talked so much crap saying it’s just one game, no need to make a big deal, but when they win it’s “we still run LA”. i hope the clippers are taking mental notes and use all this chatter as motivation.
HEY HEY MEO MIO MEO MIO, HEY HEY!!

I love when DJ blocks shots/blatantly goaltends
But maybe he should worry more about boxing out and getting his rebounds in the double digit range. Except for getting into foul trouble, there’s absolutely no reason why he shouldn’t be putting up 10-12 boards a night, not the 8.4 that he has been averaging.
we have the most athletic front court
until they get some smarts on them and box out we are going to keep giving away offensive rebounds. Last night was maddening.
This never gets old.

he is trying to get the ref to call a double dribble
which is stupid as Gasol clearly touched the ball before this clip meaning that Blake had a live dribble.

I remember it live
Gasol immediately starts screaming for the double dribble (while watching Blake dribble past him) and I thought “What the hell, you just knocked the ball out of hands Pau. Do you know the rules?” I went back and watched it a couple times and sure enough he clearly hit the ball, so all I can figure is he knew he was beat so he made an excuse on the fly.

Don't mind the Lakers
I just don’t like Lakers “fans.” They make the real Lakers fans look really bad.
"Fact One: Races are won or lost in key moments. Fact Two: Success in the sport is, above all else, about enduring suffering." - Chris MacCormack
True Laker fans know and recognize that the Clippers are on the rise. They do not
try to put the Clips down or look down on them. In fact, they welcome the rivalry.

kenyon martin?
espn saying clippers are one of the 5 teams inquiring about kenyon martin. on one hand clips need a bench player that has some offensive post moves, on the other i don’t really want him on the team
Kenyon Martin?
Don’t want him on the team? Have you seen Solomon Jones and Brian Cook play? He’s a jerk but he would have to pass out PCP laced cookies in the locker room not to help the team over those two. And lets not even talk about Ryan Gomes. Please, Neil get someone else, anyone else in the league except, maybe Luke Walton, would be an upgrade.
yeah
i know the need for a post scorer, but i’d rather use the money on wilson chandler as a swing defender than get kenyon martin… i just know kmart will do something crazy
no way we get wilson chandler, he's still a RFA so Denver would easily match the most we could offer.
JR Smith is a better bet for the Clips. Him and Mo would be the most awesome 2nd unit back court, to go with our already awesome 1st unit. Plus JR is 6’6" and can back-up Caron too.
We aren't getting Wilson Chandler.
If we can get Martin and Smith in the offseason (I don’t know how possible that is) and we retain Billups, my God will our team be scary. For the first time, I think we have a chance of landing a free agent! The Heat will merely try to low ball him and hope that they can get on the bandwaggon. The Spurs aren’t the most attractive team, but it may make sense for him if Duncan really does retire, starting role? I think so. Hawks wouldn’t be a great fit for him; especially because they would get him late and Horford will most likely be in playing shape eventually… So he will have to fight for minutes. Knicks are just a trainwreck, and I don’t expect him to change much, especially when Amare will gobble up minutes. I think the Clippers and Knicks are frontrunners for Kenyon, hopefully Billups can convince his old buddies to join, and then hopefully his buddies can convince Billups to resign :). As farfetched as it is, Billups/Smith/Martin on the 2nd team is frightening! From there, we can move Mo to the 2 spot or we look for a REAL SG or a defensive 3 (then Butler moves to SG and we get size in both positions).
Kaman sent home by the Hornets
Hell why not see if we can get Kaman back. Make the Hornets eat the majority of his contract.
It's Hip to be a Clip!
Clips have no contracts to offer back
unless the Hornets want Mo and Foye.
I think Kaman to the Hawks for Pachulia (spelling?) and Hinrich and a 1st round pick makes the most sense.
Help us Altered Beast you're our only hope.
by ClipperChuck on Jan 27, 2012 6:46 PM PST up reply actions
I think he could be to the right team
Zaza has 2 years left on his deal so the Hawks so some guaranteed cash, Hinrich has played 1 game (not sure what his injury is). Their pick doesn’t figures to be in the 20s this year.
Joe Johnson – SG
Jeff Teague – PG
Chris Kaman – C
Al Horford – PF
Josh Smith – SF
Bench – Marvin Williams, Tracy McGrady, Willie Green
I actually like Zaza as a backup big, maybe the Clips can weasel their way into the trade and offer Foye for him.
Help us Altered Beast you're our only hope.

NOH, won't take Zaza - deal breaker

The clippers couldn't trade for him if they wanted to
a player can’t be traded back to a team that just traded him. Only possible way he could end up here is if he was bought out and came here as a free agent, which won’t happen.

The Calves, The Ankles and So Forth
I really don’t want to see another season of waiting lines in Jason Powell’s office
How did Jasen Powell became so hated by Clippernation?
just because of all the injuries? Or is it based on something more substantial?
