Lakers 111, Nuggets 107 - Allen Iverson lit up the scoreboard with 51 points but three Lakers responded with big nights of their own. Kobe Bryant scored 25, Vladimir Radmanovic added 21, and Derek Fisher had 20. Despite his big night, the Lakers only allowed Iverson one layup in the fourth quarter. Sonics 95, Clippers 88 - Seven is unlucky for the Clipper -- it's how many games they've lost in a row. Seattle led......

Back during the most heated moments of the Shaq vs. Kobe war that (probably) lead to the dismantling of the championship Lakers, I had an equally combative debate with a co-worker about which of the two players should get the heave-ho. My co-worker, a lifelong Lakers fan, said there was no way Kobe, the best player in the NBA and in the prime of his youth, should be traded instead of the frequently overweight......

Current Record: 37-39, T-3rd Pacific, T-8th West Last Week: The Clippers entered the week with the opportunity to take control of their playoff fate and to put themselves in the drivers’ seat for one of the three remaining playoff spots. This morning, they are left still in control of their destiny, but very much in a fight for survival. Things started well with a narrow victory over the Lakers on Wednesday, piling on to their......

Dodgers 4, Giants 1 - The Dodger's success against archrival San Francisco continued on Saturday. Derek Lowe allowed one run over seven innings and Takashi Saito notched his third save. Russ Ortiz earned his 12th consecutive loss and Barry Bonds did not take the field. Former Giant Jeff Kent provided all the necessary RBIs with a two-run double in the fifth. Angels 2, Athletics 1 - The Angeles continued their hot start, matching their 5-1......

February 20, 2007

Current Record: 25-28, 3rd Pacific, T-9th West Last Week: While the rest of the league was focused on the festivities in Sin City, the Clippers got a much needed four days off to regroup. The Clips were one of only three teams that had exactly zero participants in the entire weekend’s festivities (and justifiably so) which means they will not be suffering from any lingering effects of the around-the-clock drunken parties and hookups with tainted......

Lakers 123, Nuggets 104 - What could have been a match up of superstars became a showcase of supporting casts as Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson combined for only 24 points. While 11 players scored in double digits, Kobe was not one of them. He tallied a season low 8 and spent the 4th quarter icing his knees on the bench. We wanted to put up this photo of him holding hands with Iverson and......

Happy holidays to Clipper Nation. Apparently the Clippers took the idea of a holiday break literally, as they have been on virtual vacation for the last two weeks, spreading holiday cheer to their opponents by losing six straight until beating Houston on Saturday (who happened to be playing without their two all-stars, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady). Clipper posts have been sparse over the last few days, but here's what you may have been lucky......

Britney shouldn't take what happened to her the wrong way. People get booed all the time and sometimes they don't know why. Britney went to the Lakers - Wizards game this Sunday with her little sister and during a time out they showed the pop princess's pucker and the Staples Center joined together in a chorus of boos. Brit needs to know that it's not because shes a lip syncher, nor is it because......

So LAist has tried to refrain from piling on the already crowded media bandwagon (such as here, here, and here) for the Clippers to make a certain move for a certain tattooed superstar. But after watching yet another dismal, uninspiring double-digit loss to Portland last night on the heels of two absolute beatdowns by San Antonio and Utah, it's time to let this voice be heard. Make. A. Move. Everyone has been saying that......

First off, I have to give a shout-out to sharky over at drunkenaudible, author of The Terry Teagle Rundown, since the previous title of the Clipper Weekly inadvertently mimicked the title of his Laker report. Current Record: 5-1, 1st Pacific Last Week: Three home games, three double digit victories. Legendary broadcaster Ralph Lawler perhaps said it best during yesterday’s telecast against the Hornets, calling the Clippers’ performance “workman-like”, playing just well enough to escape......
