    Possibly, but if Blake gets Biggie out on an island, I don't know how well he'll be able to contain him off the dribble.

    Will he get the calls though? Last night Biggie got an early call drawing an offensive foul on Cousins. After Cousins cried about it, the rest went his way including a clear charge in the 4th when DMC lowered his shoulder. My point is Swanigan is getting rookie calls go against him and will continue to for a while. Did you see the ref glare at him when he tried to plead his case? Good luck with Blake and Doc working the refs. Nonetheless I look forward to watching him gain experience with the match up.

    The real question to be answered on Thursday is: whose defense is for real?

    The Clippers are currently first in OPP scoring at 88.0 ppg, second in OPP FG% at .407 and first in OPP 3FG% at .250, but they have played two crap teams (PHO and LAL) and the team that is 29th in scoring. Their defense hadn't been tested.

    The Blazers are 4th in OPP scoring at 94.5 ppg, tied for 4th in OPP FG% at .418 and 5th in OPP 3FG% at .290. Their defense has looked much better than last season, but is it sustainable?

    For all Blake can do on offense he still sucks at D. Playing PHO, LAL, and UTA doesn't change that.

    And if this shit is true, he'll be a crackhead soon.

    Blake Griffin spotted getting cuddly with Kendall Jenner

    L.A. Clippers superstar Blake Griffin reportedly started dating reality star Kendall Jenner earlier this summer. The two were spotted out several times, although it was supposedly nothing serious. It’ll almost be two months since, and the two are still out having a good time together.

    According to E! News, the two were seen having fun at the Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights with a bunch of other celebrity friends. Multiple sources who saw the two said they seemed to be having a nice time with one another.

    “They had a VIP group with a ton of security,” one insider dished, noting that Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott,Jordyn Woods and Hailey Baldwin also tagged along. “They seemed to have fun.”

    Another onlooker added, “Kendall and Blake were wrapping their arms around each other…They looked like they were having a good time besides all the guests crowding around them.”

    While there’s still no confirmation what the status of Blake Griffin and Kendall Jenner actually is, it doesn’t look as if whatever they have going on is coming to an end anytime soon. The two still appear to be enjoying each other’s company and will likely continue to go out and have fun with one another.

    Beverly is no doubt helping with those numbers as is Gallinari who i have always thought was a better defender than given credit for. We ll know Jordan can play some great defense.

    How many hot women in So Cal and the Lakers/Clippers keep going back to the same family?

    PatBev's antics can rattle a young PG like Ball, but that shit won't work on Dame. It is more likely to backfire.

    Sorry. Just the "E" news report. Seems a little feminine. No offense.

    Stotts needs a tougher looking picture than what they have for him.

    I think the combo of Dolla' struggling last game and the fact Beverly is in town......Dame goes for 40+.

    I don't have the numbers to back it up, and maybe it's just selective memory on my part, but I recall Dame struggling against Beverly's pressure D when we played them in the playoffs. That was a while ago though.....I don't know. When I think Beverly, I think frustrated Dame.

    I don't remember exactly, but I remember pissed off Dame. I think he still got his, when hasn't he really?

    I hope he uses clever insults and demeaning comments all night long.
