    NBA Rumors – Dallas Mavericks Trying to Sign Chris Paul

    NBA teams aren’t allowed to have any contact with free agents until July 1, but the photos of Dirk Nowitzki, Mark Cuban and Chris Paul at Tiger Woods’ “Poker Night” tournament give everyone a pretty strong feeling that the best point guard in the NBA might be heading to play for the Dallas Mavericks next season after the disappointing finish with the Los Angeles Clippers in this year’s playoffs.

    There are more than just two players heading into free agency in 2013, but only two are what really interests most of the NBA. Dwight Howard didn’t enjoy his first season with the Los Angeles Lakers, while Chris Paul was disappointed with how this season ended for the Los Angeles Clippers. Both of them might end up playing for someone else when the summer is over.

    Memphis Grizzlies – Zach Randolph Completes Destruction of Blake Griffin

    If it wasn’t for Zach Randolph switching gears after the first two games in the series, maybe Blake Griffin wouldn’t be injured right now. But the Memphis Grizzlies forward wasn’t about to find himself out of the playoffs in the first round for a second year in a row, simply steamrolling and bulldozing the competition to make it three wins in a row as his team has taken over the series.

  • Chris Paul Holds the Key to the Los Angeles Clippers Keeping Him

    Chris Paul Holds the Key to the Los Angeles Clippers Keeping Him

    It’s hard to describe the feeling of the last couple of years to those not following the Los Angeles Clippers up closely for most of their life, not really used to seeing stars playing for the team and actually succeed with it in a way that makes losing in the first round of the playoffs sound like a disappointment. Chris Paul, above everyone else, has been in charge of creating that change.

  • Los Angeles Clippers – Chris Paul Sets Himself Apart From the Rest

    With two teams that have very similar strengths, someone has to be the game changer that breaks the tie. So Chris Paul, the one you’d expect to be that guy, stepped up and took the Los Angeles Clippers to a very impressive series-opening win over the Memphis Grizzlies, who were outplayed and out-coached from the first moment they stepped on the floor.

    The end of the NBA season is also a good opportunity to look at some of the statistical leaders around the association from the following season, as Carmelo Anthony led the race to the NBA scoring title; Dwight Howard continued his dominance when it came to rebounding despite the slightly disappointing season and Chris Paul led the NBA in both assists and steals.

    Chris Paul, The Reason the Los Angeles Clippers Are Any Good

    Despite the franchise record for wins and consecutive victories, not to mention a division title and finishing ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers, the only thing that will be satisfying for the Los Angeles Clippers after they play their final game of the 2012-2013 NBA season will be if it’s in the Western Conference semifinal, and it’ll mean Chris Paul will stay for a very long time.

  • Los Angeles Clippers & The Most Important Win of the Season

    Los Angeles Clippers & The Most Important Win of the Season

    We didn’t see anything special from Chris Paul or Blake Griffin, yet the Los Angeles Clippers looked quite pleased walking off the court in a game that proved once again that this team has the right mix of players, stars and bench guys to make this season the greatest in the history of the franchise, even if it means that winning basketball isn’t going to be as flashy as we’ve gotten used to seeing from them on certain nights.

  • Los Angeles Clippers – Same Two Guys Responsible for Everything

    Los Angeles Clippers – Same Two Guys Responsible for Everything

    As the season winds down and the Los Angeles Clippers are trying to somehow improve their standing in the Western conference, it’s evident that a shift has been made in what matters and needs to happen in order for them to win – while most of the season it was about the bench unit being the difference, later on and entering the playoffs, it’s all about Chris Paul and Blake Griffin playing their best basketball all game long.

  • Los Angeles Clippers – Chris Paul & Blake Griffin Take Them Further Than Ever Before

    Los Angeles Clippers – Chris Paul & Blake Griffin Take Them Further Than Ever Before

    It seems that with each win, the Los Angeles Clippers set another record or milestone in the underachieving franchise’s history, having to thank the ping pong ball that brought Blake Griffin to the team, followed by the trade that allowed the even more important Chris Paul to arrive, making them feel, for the first time ever, that anything less than a conference semifinal in the NBA playoffs will be a huge disappointment.
