Clippers' win streak stretches to six

LOS ANGELES – Wednesday, the Clippers survived what many pro franchises couldn’t.

No, it wasn’t another front-office scandal or a catastrophic injury. It was a force much darker, much more devious, much more Canadian.

The Clippers have broken the curse of Justin Bieber.

Unlike three other teams recently, the Clippers picked up a 114-86 victory in their first game since they hosted the 5-foot-9 pop sensation in their locker room.

A brief overview of the Bieber curse: He hangs with athletes, those athletes lose. It happened earlier this year with the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers and the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers.

“The Bieber jinx?” DeAndre Jordan said before the game. “I didn’t even know there was a Bieber jinx.”

There isn’t if you don’t acknowledge it, and maybe that’s why it held no power Wednesday.

I'm glad that we took care of business last night and won convincingly. We have a nice streak going, let's keep it up. I'm assuming that the offense has stepped up, but how is the defense looking.

He seems to be more interested in participating when the team is playing poorly and then sitting on the sidelines while they are playing well. It's sort of like reviews. Most people review when they either really love something or really hate something, lol, Martin to Vaught only does negative reviews

Guess who now leads the league in eFG%? Yes, the Clippers. Mike Woodson has helped lead a 3rd ranked offense that's first in 3PT% and second in FG%.

I can't wait until Baller buys his own D league team so when O'Quinn gets dropped back down to the D league we can hack him like a little bitch he is.


First off, he'll never see the D league. He's far too good.

Secondly, even Blake admitted it shouldn't have been a Flagrant II:
“I didn’t really see much,” Griffin said. “I closed my eyes. I didn’t think it was. I mean, I got hit in the face, but I didn’t think it was a Flagrant 2. I don’t think it was anything vicious, but I thought we responded well.”

first off, the rule of NBA states any hit above the shoulder of a player when the defender is not playing the ball, is exactly what your boy got.

secondly, your boy must be so good that your team is 7 and 14 in the EAST. lmao.
ehhhhh f it.

The first thing his right hand even touches is ball, which in turn pops out of Blake's grip. Had the ball remained in his hands, the hit to the face would've never even happened. It's right there in the replay. Best angle is from the hoop/facing Blake. I can understand the treatment given Blake's history of being fouled maliciously, but this wasn't one of them. Flagrant I at most. Even Blake agrees.

Also, I didn't say he was some amazing player, just way too good to be sent to D-League. Also, he was injured for a good bit of the season and probably could've been a factor in some of the close games.

When I saw the replay I didn't think the foul on Blake was a flagrant 2, I just would have went with flagrant 1. I feel like these refs over react to a lot of the fouls in the NBA today. Most likely it the foul didn't impact this game too much.
