We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Clippers .
Bleacher Report discusses the potential of the Los Angeles Clippers season:
‘Los Angeles might not be a contender.
Marc Gasol continued his season-long demolition tour, hanging 30 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks on the Clippers. It was a brilliant performance on both ends from the man who’s played the center position as well as anyone (defense counts, DeMarcus Cousins supporters) this season.
Gasol, even in his newly trimmed-down form was perfectly happy to mix it up in an ultra-physical affair. Despite his terrific line, the big Spaniard still saw room for improvement.
And that’s where we shift the focus away from Memphis and onto Los Angeles, which put forth yet another disjointed defensive effort. Gasol’s comments served a dual purpose.

The Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Memphis Grizzlies last nigh:
“The Los Angeles Clippers experienced a similar feeling the entire game against the Memphis Grizzlies, circling the court without really going anywhere.

Multiple defenders couldn’t stop Gasol, who collected 30 points to go with 12 rebounds and delivered the metaphor of the day when he inadvertently thwacked Blake Griffin in the nose and drew blood in the third quarter.
The Clippers departed physically and psychologically battered after a 107-91 loss that erased the feel-good vibes from the early stages of their seven-game trip.
“We can’t start panicking,” said Griffin, who scored 12 points but needed 17 shots to get there, making only five. “I think we did a poor job of handling playing badly earlier in the season, and we can’t start doing that again. Just relax.”
