    Link.

    Another excuse for the Clippers choking again in the playoffs. Also I want no part of this guy in free agency. Too injury prone.

    Wow. At least the Clips and Jazz are somewhat even now with Gobert and Griffin out.

    This should put all these Blake to the Lakers talks to rest...

    Yep I've been slowly stepping off the Blake train for free agency but consider me off now.

    Also inb4 Doc's "you've never beat us in a playoff series when we're healthy", or something like that.

    Doesn't make any sense to keep this group together. They should let both Paul and Griffin walk. They're always hurt and even when that team is healthy they're nowhere near good enough to beat Golden State.

    Boom goes the dynamite to their season, to their roster and to a happy time in FA for Biff. Too much flopping onto hard floors. Injury prone now.

    It looked like an innocuous play but Griffin expressed frustration afterwards. I want to see Utah (picked them in the playoffs thread) bounce them out of the playoffs but I would think the Clippers have enough to get past them in six or seven.

    clippers gonna clipper

    he's gone for sure this offseason and i don't get why they wouldn't unload CP3 either. i highly doubt he'll re-sign after next season

    clippers might not even make it to the second round this year

    I'm off the sign Griffin train. This is just too many injuries. I was on it if we traded for George and then signed Griffin. Never was on it though if signing Griffin was all we did. Now? Don't want any part of him at all. That being said, the Clips at times play better without him.

    Hasn't he hasn't toe injuries like this before? That's a weak injury for a basketball player in the sense that imo you're brittle if you constantly get nagging injuries LIKE that. I don't know the pain level of that injury, if it's something most can play through, but like I said before, he's soft, physically and mentally. I want no part of him in LA, he's a fine player WHEN he plays for about 3 quarters, but then he's not, and he's always disappearing or out injured when it matters. Clippers stink all over him, he should probably just spend his whole career there.

    ...a different take of his "starting five never lost in the playoffs" mantra. Always something with Rivers. Wonder if they found that stack of money he and his team hid in the Staples locker room during the 2010 Finals.

    That player option is starting to look pretty damn good.
