Clippers 104, Pacers 89 - Like some other teams in LA, the Clippers are starting to revolve around one star (cough ... Lakers ... cough ... Galaxy). Unlike other teams, it's just temporary. Sam Cassell had 35 points, as Cuttino Mobley and Ruben Patterson were injured in the first quarter. Elton Brand and Shaun Livingston were already out hurt. What didn't hurt were Chris Kaman's 15 points and 22 rebounds ... Somehow the Clippers are... more ›

Hornets 118, Lakers 104 - The Lakers will have 41 opportunities this season to be a .500 team. So far they're 2-for-2. Peja Stojakovic drained ten 3-pointers, and Chris Paul added 21 assists to bury Los Angeles on Tuesday ... There was a sellout crowd of 18,997 at Staples, paying an average of $89.24 (highest in the league). Their opponent, New Orleans, gets a league-low $24.58 per seat. Clippers 97, Bulls 91 - Los Angeles... more ›

Current Record: 36-37, 3rd Pacific, 8th West Last Week: It’s amazing how sometimes a little adversity can galvanize a group of people and inspire them to achieve more than was thought possible. OK, so in the Clippers’ case, they’re basically achieving what was expected at the beginning of the season. Nevertheless, after utterly disappointing play for most of the season, the Clips seem to have finally found their groove just in the nick of time,... more ›

Current Record: 29-30, 3rd Pacific, T-7th West Last Week: If LAist didn’t know any better, we would have assumed the latest rash of injuries to hit sports stars across LA was just another insidious terrorist plot hatched up on 24, given the number of attacks our fair city has received over the years on the show. We saw Becks go down before even getting to LA. We saw Lamar Odom getting injured again and joining... more ›

Clippers 96, Sonics 91 - One game after Shaun Livingston ruined his knee -- and possibly career -- the ailing Clippers pulled off their third consecutive victory. They spread the ball around with six players in double digits. Cory Maggette and Elton Brand led the way with 18 each, and Brand added a season high 7 assists. The line of the night went to an anonymous AP reporter who observed that "Chris Wilcox, a former... more ›

Torn Ligaments 3, Intact Ligaments 1 - This is very bad news for Clipper fans. Shaun Livingston snapped his knee like a twig (WARNING: ABOVE VIDEO IS GRAPHIC AND NOT FOR THOSE WITH WEAK STOMACHS) and is out for the season --not this season, next season. It may be a career ending injury. Anybody remember Joe Theismann or Napoleon McCallum? This looked even worse. Kings Clean House - In three deals made hours before... more ›

As if the Clippers haven’t had enough challenges this season, the team was thrown another obstacle when Shaun Livingston went down with a dislocated knee cap during the first quarter of the Clips’ 100-93 win over Charlotte. Livingston was going up for a layup and landed awkwardly on his left leg, causing a hush to fall over the Staples Center crowd as he was helped off the floor on a stretcher. If you happened to... more ›

Current Record: 24-23, 3rd Pacific, T-7th West Last Week: The Clippers showed further signs of life, with a solid home performance over the Bulls, one of the stronger East teams, and a good win against the pathetic Celtics in Boston for their seventh victory in eight tries. However, Toronto torched the Clips defense for a season-worst 122 points, showing that the team still hasn’t quite learned how to bring a consistent effort every game.... more ›

While most of the city’s sports fans were either celebrating or mourning, a few looked up from their beers last night to watch another cross-town rivalry played out at Staples Center, albeit one with a lot less on the line (at least this time around). more ›

Ducks 3, Oilers 2, OT - Anaheim captain Scott Niedermayer's 1,000th game was looking to be a bad night as the Ducks were down 2-0 in the second period, which thrilled the crowd in Edmonton who had come to boo the shit out of their former star Chris Pronger who helped them get one game from winning the cup last year before defecting to America. But after a power-play goal shot by Pronger and... more ›

Maybe there is something to this Laker/Clipper rivalry thing after all. Didn’t used to be that way, a few years ago Laker players and fans were more worried about Duncan in San Antonio or cowbells in Sacramento or if Lara Flynn was still sitting with Jack. The Clippers weren’t even on the radar. more ›

To this point, most of the writing on this space about the Clippers has been highly positive, and with good reason – the team is in first place and has found creative ways to win games in spite of not playing their best ball. more ›

Last night's game was so entertaining, we're almost not upset that the Red & Blue lost. 130-123?! Is this 2006 or 1986? The Steve Nash/Sam Cassell battle is going to be a great one and the flashes of brilliance that Shaun Livingston shows on the court has us extremely hopeful for the future. Here's what's being talked about in Clipper Nation: more ›

The Clippers acquired Sam Cassell and a first round draft pick from the Minnesota Timberwolves for Marko Jaric and Lionel Chambers. more ›

LAist thinks this flirtation with Allen might actually become a real relationship. Allen and the Sonics worked on a contract extension all last season, and in public, it looked ugly. Considering Seattle refuses to give Allen a max contract, the He Got Game star has reason to look elsewhere. more ›

The Kobe-haters of LA were desperately hoping Bryant's recent absence coupled with a 3-game win streak would in some convoluted world make the Lakers trade him. more ›

The Clippers drafted arguably the best player in the NBA Draft yesterday, by selecting high school phenom Shaun Livingston. The 6-6 point guard has exceptional passing skills and could wind up being a mini-Magic Johnson. more ›
