Clippers down 19 to Bucks in Milwaukee.

Blake has to see the writing on the wall this summer. This team just isn't championship caliber.

They could be as low as 6th tonight in the West if they lose and Memphis beats Dallas, which would put them up against the Rockets in the first round. That's not something that they want, but a first round loss would make Griffin leaving LA a lot more likely.

CP3 verbally committed to re-signing with the Clippers. I wonder if he already talked to Blake about staying long term. Why would he commit if Blake is unsure of staying?

State Farm commercials - definitely.

Blake may or may not stay, but if he sticks around he can't possibly think that the Clips have any chance of winning a championship.

They haven't made it past the 2nd round and with that joke of a coach they won't even be in the West Finals lol.

The Bulls got killed for dumping Taj Gibson and Doug McDermott for Payne and Lauverge.

But check out how Bobby Portis is playing since the trade deadline.  Looks like a pretty good offensive player.

Also, I noticed Jerian Grant is looking like an actual NBA player with a credible jumpshot.

To my eye s non of the big three on Clippers seem to have the energy or drive they had.  I think all three have peaked and started the backslide .

I feel like Griffin on this team though with Brad Stevens would be ideal for him.

CBS can get the best out of him and Griffin is still only 27.

His injury obviously took away some of the "spice" in his game (like the dunking and long hops), but he's still a star IMO.

The Clippers just seem so dull though... even the guys around him.

Same for Paul Zipser on the Bulls, and for several of the Kings players. Sometimes its best to move the vets and let the guys who have promise get on the floor and develop.

Raptors trailing the Bucks and the Heat up by 11 over the Cavs in the first half tonight. These would be two big loses for our standings if they hold up.

No Lebron and no Kyrie tonight for the Cavs.

I kinda agree, but man this knee situation just reminds me so much of Amar'e. Like the dude is freaking falling apart every season it seems like.

Perhaps, but he's not playing tonight either.

Take Lebron out and it's back to 20-win seasons for "superstar Kyrie" and the Cavs.

He's a great player but certainly not a Top-10 superstar...

No, but even with Kyrie playing games without LBJ, the Cavs are pretty bad.
