Posted in Most nights for the Boston Celtics, you can count on the starters save the center position getting between 35-39 minutes a game. But because of perhaps their age and coach Doc Rivers’ quest to keep them as fresh as possible for their inevitable visit to the playoffs, he will sometimes limit their minutes. Wednesday night [...]

Johnson’s 14 Fourth Quarter Points Help Hawks Remain Unbeaten, Bounce Wizards 99-95
In the NBA’s Southeastern Conference, it is pretty easy to forget the Atlanta Hawks, especially with the Miami Heat and their Big Three of Lebron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and the Orlando Magic with Dwight Howard and company. After Saturday night’s game between the Hawks and Washington Wizards, the rest of the conference [...]
Griffin Rehab Progressing; Thornton, Camby Iffy vs. Suns
The Los Angeles Clippers have to be praying extra hard that rookie Blake Griffin gets his rehabilitation on his knee taken care of ahead of schedule. That sentiment is especially key, especially since both Al Thornton and Marcus Camby injured themselves during the Clippers’ loss to the Houston Rockets on Tuesday; according to Lisa Dillman [...]
Six Spurs Score In Double-Digits, Sink Clippers 115-90
If Tim Duncan had played his usual 32-38 minutes a night during Sunday night’s game between the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center, his numbers would have been quite impressive. Because he was accidentally elbowed in the head by teammate Matt Bonner late in the third quarter, he wouldn’t return. It [...]

Warriors Take Wind Out Of Clippers’ Sails, Cruise To 107-92 Win
Two of the NBA’s weaklings, the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors got together for 48 minutes of hardwood battle at Oracle Arena – with neither team going anywhere fast. However, it was a game of retribution of sorts for former Clipper Corey Maggette as he scored 20 against his former team, leading Golden [...]
Randolph’s 34 Helps Clippers Beat Pacers in Double OT 117-109
Probably what hurt the Indiana Pacers the most in their game on Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers was the fact that they turned the ball over 25 times – that’s right, 25 turnovers. Yet nonetheless, they made a game of it as the game went into double overtime. But the second extra period proved [...]
Udrih’s 30 Helps Kings Hold Off Clippers 103-98
The Sacramento Kings, before Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers, were 3-5; nothing unusual about that as the Kings tend to start off slow. What is amazing is that the Kings are winning their games being short-handed as they are missing three injuries due to injury: Kevin Martin (sprained ankle), Quincy Douby (sore right ankle) and [...]
