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.
The Los Angeles Clippers took home another win on their long road trip on Wednesday night:
“Clippers were coming off of a in against the Charlotte Hornets and they clinched another win on a very long road trip. Click here to read about the Clippers last win.
They outscored the Pistons 32-25 in the final and Chris Paul scored 14 of his 23 points in the third. The Clippers shot 64.7 percent from the field in the last 12 minutes, including a 5-for-7 finish from 3-point range.
“That would be enough against a Pistons team that’s now lost six straight and has dropped all five games they’ve allowed at least 100 points. This is also the seventh straight win for the Clippers against the Pistons. “
Coach Doc Rivers said this, regarding Detroit’s sixth loss in a row, to ESPN after the game:
“Winning a game in the NBA is hard,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. “Those guys are professionals, and they want to break that streak, so it was going to be tough. If we hadn’t embraced that, we wouldn’t have won this game.”
“I’ve never been in this situation,” a frustrated Van Gundy said.”

Everyone thinks they know what the Clippers problem is this season. Check out what Bleacher Report has to say:
“The Clippers rank 18th in points allowed per possession after finishing seventh in that category a year ago. Even at 8-5, the Clippers just don’t guard as smoothly. Team communication has vanished.
They outscored the Charlotte Hornets by 13 during the fourth quarter of Monday evening’s 113-92 victory, but even while rocking the artists formerly known as the Bobcats, they showed off the defensive issues that have been on display all year.
One of the biggest weaknesses on this defense is navigating picks. It doesn’t even matter which unit is out there for the Clips. They simply struggle with screen action, mostly because their biggest defensive problem is a lack of communication.
On this fourth-quarter play from Monday’s game, watch three defenders head to Al Jefferson after Big Al receives a pass from Gerald Henderson, which gives Henderson a wide-open lane to cut to the hoop.”
