You can change owners. You can add a condor. But Clippers still be Clippers.

Why is Griffin's serious enough to keep him out for the rest of the playoffs?

Having them to look down on makes me feel better about myself.

Sucks that it came to this but, Clippers fans deserve this. Silly Clippers fans, championships are for Lakers. It was a cute little run you had with your uh, 2nd round appearances and your little selfies but, it's time to hand the keys back to daddy. We'll take it from here, thanks.

Probably not. He just lacked the balls to try to carry the team himself.

In December, he partially torn a quad tendon that caused him to miss 37 games. He reinjured the same tendon. So, yeah, it's not shocking this would keep him out for the rest of the playoffs.

No they aren't.

The Cubs are actually popular and they are a Chicago institution.

The Clippers are the mfing JV team.

Why do you have to disparage all women and mothers with that term?

I just figured if criticizing Jeanie is out of bounds due to her being a woman and all, maybe you might want to extend the same courtesy to not insulting people by claiming they sleep with their mothers, who are also women, and who should be immune from such scandalous implications.

Nobody cared in '89 when Magic & Scott were injured so I'm not going to lose any sleep over it or Curry's injury. Like Forrest Gump said,"IT HAPPENS!"

In addition....
Nobody cared in the 2004 NBA Finals when Karl Malone was injured.
Nobody cared when Bynum was injured in 2008 when the Lakers could've used him.
Nobody cared when Kobe had his achilles injury in 2013 which subsequently handed the Spurs an easy first round victory, which also happened to be the last gasp of the Lakers being a playoff threat.
Since the Warriors won against a decimated Cavs team last year, did anybody ask them to take to easy on them? Nope, thats just the way things go in the playoffs.

I could give a flip about the Clippers, but I hate to see the playoffs get affected this much by injuries. I would have liked to have seen a series between a full strength Warriors squad and a full strength Clippers squad.

Agree with institution. Disagree with popularity.

I think you're missing my point. Cubs always a bridesmaid never a bride. Same with Clippers.

The Clippers owner was more the reason for the Clipper shadow.

Will Doc Rivers make claims after the playoffs are over that the Clippers starting five did not lose any series this year?

Clippers will probably be blown up next season. If given another chance with the same roster they may some noise but still not win a ship. Many pundits are saying CP3 will ask out. If he does Griffith may also.
