Jesus, why on earth would you be stupid enough to hit a team member who's probably half your size. I bet Bill Simmons is rejoicing more than when Boston won a title.

Wow....I read something saying he could miss up to two months. I guess I should stop disregarding all those trade proposals people were making where the Clippers get random PF's back since the team actually might need one.

This is just terrible, very disappointing from Blake, that's not acceptable at all

Well if the staff member was really a close real life buddy, and the incident is some drunken mishap similar to when Big Baby broke a thumb fighting with a childhood friend, it's really freakin dumb and disappointing, but it's not the same as him repeatedly hitting a random coworker. Which is how it's gonna be spun and everyone here knows it.

One is a "you dumb f*ck just wasted our season" situation, the other is probably the end of this team and the beginning of a long rebuild under Doc, so basically back to the Sterling years.

I swear down Clippers fans are amassing so much karma that when it pays off we'll win every chip for half a century.

Either way, we are f*cked. Again.

I can't believe this. I know Blake is smarter than this. However I wasn't there so I don't know how this situation was instigated. We've been doing OK without him, so hopefully he can comeback with enough time to get acclimated before the playoffs.

I would suspect that he'll get fined and suspended as well.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

If this finally triggers the much-needed rebuild that finally gets us a ring, a statue of Blake's fist should be put up in front of Staples.

Other than that, this team continues to demonstrate that they are the biggest collection of unprofessional manchildren in pro sports. And it's not just Blake, it's everyone.

In my book,
It's the %100 players fault If the player make a fight in his own time with some regular guy.

The fault of that is split half both manager and player if the player make a fight with a guy on the team while on the road for games.

Regardless of details, Doc should not even allow the emergence that kind of personel issues in the first place. This is what personality handling is about in professional world.

I would be looking for doc's ass for that as much as i'd do for griffin too.

I said at the beginning of the year that the one thing that could derail this train would be a major injury and this is truly devastating. there has to be more to this story. the question is will we ever know what it is. my nba window is closing fast.

as if this team wasn't hated enough lol

we really don't know the details. Blake doesn't come at ALL like he would do something like this, even if he was drunk. He just doesn't have the personality for it.

Hopefully there is more to this story to maybe somehow justify it... but either way this really puts some difficulty into the season.

There is also the VERY REAL possibility that Toronto Police follows up on this and charges are laid.

He could be looking at probation, and not being allowed back into Canada or overseas. It's unlikely a man with his resources would get prison time for common assault, but he could.
