The 2011-12 edition of the Los Angeles Clippers (11-5) contains headline hoarders such as Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan, inspiration for the “Lob City” moniker and a seemingly endless reel of ESPN highlights. But a lesser known name may be the key to a rare postseason run for L.A.’s other team.
Reggie Evans, the notorious rebounding deviant and nine-year veteran from Iowa, may have suffered reduced minutes in last week’s contests, but when the postseason lights shine at the Staples Center — unlike the darkened hue sure to grace the Lakers’ dramatized battles — fans should expect the power forward who twice led the NBA in rebounding efficiency to provide a substantial role.
First, the numbers. Evans plays roughly 15 minutes per game, but, on average, swallows over five boards in the limited time span. And statistics show that when Evans rebounds at a high rate, the Clippers win. In victories, Evans secures nearly three offensi...

In tonight's Clippers-Nuggets game in Denver, Blake Griffin was fouled hard by Al Harrington on a fastbreak. Griffin fell to the floor hard, and then yelled at somebody to "GET THE **** OUTTA HERE!" With what he's saying and where he's looking, it appears he was yelling at the refs, presumably for the foul not being ruled a flagrant. And believe me, I know expletives...

When you play in the paint you're bound to get dunked on eventually, but you just hope it's never as bad as what Blake Griffin did to Kendrick Perkins on Monday night.

I didn’t get all excited about Clippers @ Nuggets because it was Chauncey’s “homecoming” game. As a matter of fact… I never even thought of that. I was simply ready for some up-and-down, high-scoring, high-flying action. Unfortunately, Chauncey and his little storyline stole the whole damn show. Right from the get-go I was forced to listen to commentators...

There are lonely feelings and then there’s the feeling Kendrick Perkins has after being obliterated by Blake Griffin on this dunk. Even the Kia Optima that Griffin jumped over in the dunk contest last year feels sorry for Perkins. Dunk of the year? That depends if Griffin doesn’t want to take any more souls before the end of the season.
