    L.A. Times is reporting that Chris Paul likely to sit out next 2 games, which includes Saturday's vs. #Blazers. Clips 3-1 without him.

    The way Eric Bledsoe has been playing that might be as close to an even swap as you would see in a while. It would hurt their bench though (which is the best in the league).

    Unfortunately we have a HORRIBLE track record of playing down against a team that is short handed. Like we are good enough to coast since they are minus their star. Frustrating

    The thing is, even without Paul they barely miss a beat with Bledsoe stepping in for him and Crawford picking up backup PG minutes. Yes the Clipps would much rather have Paul starting, but they're still more than a match for just about every team in the league.

    Actually we've been great against short handed teams. We took down injured Memphis, Minnesota, New York, Cleveland, off the top of my head.

    One of the Clippers announcers says: "I don't think there is anyway that Lillard can guard Bledsoe".

    Probably true but wouldn't it be even harder to guard Paul?

    I think these Clippers announcers have gotten a little big for their britches with the teams success.

    Willie Green, of all people, is killing us.

    Agreed, although he seems to be the only one active tonight so far.

    And at least 2 misses where he should've scored.

    Portland is playing a slight step slow and I think the only reason the game isn't (as of now) a blowout is because Paul is out.

    It's scary to think that our offense is in trouble when Hickson goes out tonight but that's where we seem to be tonight

    Apparently these Announcers have no idea bout the Jamal Crawford situation from last year.
