You think Ron Artest took a page out of the playbook of Lloyd Bernard Free when he changed his name?
Lord knows Artest could never fill it up like Free, who made his name in Philly as a scoring machine.
Free, who now works with the 76ers as a community ambassador, was the last Clipper to start an All-Star game. Imagine that. That’s been more than 30 years ago since Free lit up the opposition as an All-Star guard for the San Diego Clippers.

The Lakers could use Steve Nash in the worst way. With the exception of Metta World Peace, they don’t have much to deal though.

We like the theory tossed around by Andrew Sharp, suggesting the Clippers sell high and deal Blake Griffin for Dwight Howard. Makes plenty of $ents to us.

Even without Chris Paul, who sat out his 2nd straight game with a sore hammy, this is embarrassing for the Clippers. And they fall a game back of the Lakers, who they handled just days ago, in the standings.

Maybe Mike Brown and the Lakers might want to spend more time drawing up a successful game plan for the Clippers? Didn’t think so.
A day after Brown and the Lakers were handed their asses again by the new-look Clip Joint, Brown continues to whine about a non-call on Blake Griffin when the Clipper forward pushed rookie Darius Morris on a play after the whistle.

Ballin at its finest. Chris Paul was the man though, finishing with 27 points, 11 assists, 3 steals and 6 rebounds and handing the Heat their 2nd straight loss.
The Clippers and the Lakers, who beat the Jazz in overtime tonight in Utah, clash on Saturday.

Blazers 105, Clippers 97.
After getting smacked by the Suns, Portland avenged its only other loss of the season by trimming the Clippers. On Wednesday, the Heat, beaten in overtime by the Warriors in Oakland tonight, is in L.A. for a showdown with the Clippers.

Ivan Johnson made a name for himself during Thursday’s Heat-Hawks triple overtime contest, which was won by Miami. Never heard of Ivan? Neither had we, but we’re a sucker for an underdog, particularly a 6-8, 230-pounder who played in the L.A. area.
