Paul likely to sit out Thursday, Saturday
After the Clippers lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night with Chris Paul sitting out because of a bruised right kneecap, Coach Vinny Del Negro didn't offer encouragement about his All-Star point guard.
"Chris is going to be out," Del Negro said. "Hopefully we get him back soon, but other guys have got to step up."
That most likely means that...
Chris Paul sits with injured kneecap; Eric Bledsoe struggles with shot
Eric Bledsoe once again drew fill-in duty for Chris Paul.
After a bad game Monday (4 points on 1-for-7 shooting), CP3 missed Tuesday night's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder with his nagging kneecap injury.
Bledsoe started but struggled with his shot, hitting just 5-of-16 shots for 12 points. The third-year guard out of Kentucky added two rebounds, four assists, a steal...
Tyus Jones, the Next Chris Paul?
Tyus Jones… Where to start? To be frank, Jones is one of my favorite prospects that I have ever evaluated. I’m not saying he is the most talented but, he is definitely one of the more enjoyable players I have ever watched. I say this because I have special admiration for floor generals and he is the epitome of that term. Follow the link to learn more about Jones’ skill set...
Suns gearing up for CP3-less Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers are unsure if Chris Paul can play in their upcoming games, most of which will take place on the road.
A visit to the Phoenix Suns might help if Paul has to sit out and could aid the Clippers' attempt to avoid a third straight defeat Thursday night.
Paul missed the Clippers' sweep of a three-game road trip last week because of a bruised right kneecap...

Clippers-Trail Blazers Preview
It's uncertain when Chris Paul will return.
That leaves plenty of questions about how the Los Angeles Clippers are going to improve their offense.
Paul is likely to miss a third consecutive game Saturday night when the Pacific Division leaders begin a home-and-home set with the Portland Trail Blazers at the Rose Garden.
Paul played last Saturday and Monday after missing Los...

Chris Paul: “Pelicans???”
via Twitter:
I’m guessing CP3 does not approve of the Hornets new name “pelicans”
Chris Paul Isn’t Rolling With The New Orleans Pelicans And It Got Ugly From There
Like most people, when news broke that the New Orleans Hornets were changing their name to the Pelicans, I was all like, “Pelicans? That’s a stupid mascot,” as I hid my Magic gear from plain sight. But thankfully I follow some diehard New Orleansonians on the Tweeters, including our good friend Chris Trew, and I now believe that with the bird’s actual legacy to the city combined...
Chris Paul (knee) is not expected to play on Thursday.
via LA Times:
Eric Bledsoe will draw another start if CP3 sits, and the Kentucky product is averaging 11.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31 minutes. Although he’s shooting just 38.6 percent in that role, Bledsoe’s versatility lends itself well to fantasy owners looking for a spark. He’s a must-start player while CP3 is on the shelf.

The Under 25 All-NBA Team
The NBA is loaded with young talent right now and some of them are developing faster than ever. Take Kyrie Irving, Cleveland’s sophomore phenom who right now, at age 20, is averaging 23.7 PPG and 5.6 AST. The dude has everything you look for in a starting point guard. He possesses the hairline and fourth quarter “take-over” gene that many would argue a former Cleveland Cavalier...
