The Clippers were just dealt a huge blow that may force them to self-destruct

• Scott Davis

• For a brief moment on Monday, it seemed that the Los Angeles Clippers finally had an open window.

• After it was announced that Stephen Curry would be out two weeks with a knee sprain, it looked as if the Clippers, up 2-1 in their first-round series with the Trail Blazers, could finally advance to the Western Conference Finals, a round they have never reached.
  
  Curry might not be back in two weeks; it could be longer. The Clippers could conceivably take a series lead in the second round over the Warriors before Curry returns, forcing the Warriors to play from behind. There's no guarantee the Clippers could beat a Curry-less Warriors team, but at full health they would certainly have the advantage.
  
  As ESPN's Zach Lowe noted when the Curry prognosis was announced, this is why it is shortsighted to break up a team as good as the Clippers — that is, a very good team but a step below the league's championship contenders. An injury can change everything.
  
  But then disaster struck the Clippers on Monday night. Chris Paul broke his right hand, and the Clippers lost as the Blazers tied the series at 2-2. According to ESPN's Arash Markazi, Paul will be reevaluated. But barring a better X-ray, the prognosis is a three- to six-week recovery, which would most likely keep Paul out for the rest of the season.
  
  Furthermore, Blake Griffin left Game 4 with a quad injury. Griffin had torn his quad early in the season, then missed several months before breaking his hand in an altercation with an equipment staffer.
  
  The Clippers' path to the conference finals becomes all the more challenging, and perhaps impossible, without Paul and with an injured Griffin. As quickly as the Clippers' window seemed to open, it closed just as swiftly.
  
  This dose of terrible luck also recalls what coach Doc Rivers told Lowe before the season about the Clippers' future, hinting that there could be major moves ahead if the Clippers didn't make progress:
  
  We're right on the borderline. I have no problem saying that. I'm a believer that teams can get stale. After a while, you don't win. It just doesn't work ... We're all on that edge together. I believe we're gonna be really good. But if we're not, it depends on how we play, and what the reason is. That's what would make you make a big decision.
  
  This is the Clippers' fifth year with the Paul-Griffin-DeAndre Jordan triumvirate. While they have proved to be among the NBA's best teams during that time, they haven't been able to get over the hump. That hump just grew significantly steeper in the absence of Paul.
  
  Assuming the Clippers can still beat the Blazers — a task that also just grew harder — they would simply be outmatched against the Warriors, even if Curry misses half the series. If Curry returns for the second half of that series, it's most likely over.
  
  It raises questions about the Clippers' future. At full health they haven't gotten the breaks to seriously contend for a championship. Losing Paul and potentially Griffin on the verge of a breakthrough has to be demoralizing.
  
  With Paul entering the back nine of his prime and Griffin oft-injured and hitting free agency in 2017, the Clippers might consider breaking up their core. As Rivers himself said, teams can stagnate, and the Clippers haven't made significant steps to reaching the next level.
  
  It's an unfortunate turn of events for the Clippers, one that could alter the organization's future.
  
  
  

 

Lakers news because these SOBs are still in OUR building covering banners of Lakers Hall of Fame players with selfies of their ringless wannabes. Take em to Seattle and "rise up" there Ballmer. Karma for being gifted Chris Paul from the sleazy midget with like a buck higher bid than the 2nd place offer. Yeah sure.
