    Big hit for the Clippers. I'm guessing this injury will keep him out for most of the season?

    This is a huge blow to the Clippers but good news to the rest of the bottom teams in the West.

    His season is more than likely done for. This is a huge blow, but it's good for the Lakes. The Clippers were one of those bubble teams that would be fighting for the 7-8 seed. I don't see how they can do that now without Brand.

    Oh well, Al Thorton time. He could be great for them, but no Brand replacment. Man, Mike Sr. must be pissing himself.

    This really hurts the Clippers
    Hope he doesn't turn into a Livingston... I like him cause he is from Duke

    Good news for the Lakers though.

    Gosh dang it, wow, another freak accident for the Clippers. Just wow.

    That must have hurt like a freaking b, though, rupturing your Achilles Tendon? Then again, Shaun's injury was probably like nauseating pain...

    Maybe this is a blessing in disguise [​IMG] Have you thought about this is the year O.J. Mayo & Eric Gordon will most likely be in the draft. They can get their star PG for the future if they're a top 5 of the lottery, not exactly how you want to look at it but it's the truth [​IMG]
