http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/clippers-chris-paul-to-have-thumb-surgery-to-repair-torn-ligament-out-6-8-weeks-things-to-know/

Clippers just can't catch a break. Interesting that Paul opted for surgery rather than playing through it like Kobe did with his pinky, though the though is more important. I wonder what would have happened if Kobe had had the surgery too.

It's early in the season, not at the half way point. He and Griffin should be ready and rested to make a playoff run.

It's more than halfway.

You mean another early playoff exit? Going to be hard to make a run when they will be relying on Austin Rivers and DJ to carry the team for the next 2 months.....

I think they have enough talent to make the playoffs. If they do that they have a chance to advance. 8th seed would be a killer though.

Clippers will nose dive without Chris Paul. You will see just how good he is when you see how bad the Clippers are without him.

Would this incentivize Blake to leave?

I know they're maybe too good an de have too many wins, but I would've tanked it in. Get a high draft pick which would be a strong asset to either add to cp3 and Blake or package it in a trade.


But that's if they still have this year's pick. I know Glenn Rivers traded away most their assets

I had no idea his real name was Glenn until just now. I always thought that "Doc" was a strange name for his parents to have given him.

I already know. I voted for him in the Best PG in the league poll.

His birth name is Glenn Anton Rivers.

His stats are way down from past years.

I'm judging him on his full body of work. His stats are down because he's making those around him better. He's sacrificing his game.

Clippers are in trouble they lost to the 14 & 28 Timber Wolves.
