Clippers just announced that Blake Griffin will undergo elbow surgery and is out indefinitely

good news for dame tho i guess

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 31s32 seconds ago
Hearing Clips clinging to hope Blake Griffin could be back in as soon two weeks. I'm told they also know it could well stretch to six weeks

potentially good news for OKC as well

So uh Blake is getting a staph infection removed?? That's scary

u dont want that in u

this is why i was still pretty optimistic about the thunder making the playoffs

because blake griffin has staph in his elbow?

Nah he got that steph infection

#dadjokes

mcgary dominating :]

the magic number for OKC is like, between 22 and 25 I think, assuming they win this game

so they can afford to lose like, 7-10 games, which is dicey, they have more hard or at least either/or games than easy games on their sched

classic hawes/mcgary battle today

difficult thing for okc is there are three teams fighting for one spot and they are behind the other two, all it wld take to make whatever okc does irrelevant is for one of the other teams to go on a nice run

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo 8s8 seconds ago
Mitch McGary, Reggie Jackson combined: 10-of-10 from field.
Serge Ibaka, Russell Westbrook 4-of-18

according to plan

uh did andre roberson really just dunk because um wut

lol q

because blake griffin has staph in his elbow?
--lag∞n

no bcuz people were assuming perfect health for every west contender in talking about okc's chances and already we have aldridge, blake and brow injuries

of course i'm assuming perfect health for durant & russ but it either miss any more time they're obviously out

jesus the clippers look horrible

how much better are clippers minus blake than cp's old hornets teams?

brow's injury isn't serious, but the pelis are def the least significant threat bc of their lack of depth + Monty's coaching. LMA playing through his thumb injury with one of those broscience strap things hasn't fucked the blazers up though, I don't see them falling from any cliffs

xp they might be worse, so much old and washed on the clips bench

lol mcgary is broing the fuck out, you just know this dude listens to like avicii and shit

Lmao @ revelation he was a high school unicycler

how much better are clippers minus blake than cp's old hornets teams?

surely worse than the peja-west-Chandler team?

Austin Rivers is what I once thought Jeremy Lin was, but I'm pretty confident that this time it will hold.

Yah this years clips roster is atrocious. I think redick is out too right now for a bit.

this team was a couple bench guys and a good coach away from being nasty as fuck http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/NOH/2008.html

miss u Peja

dame is replacing griffin on the all star team

surely worse than the peja-west-Chandler team?

right & cp3 is prob a lil bit worse now, though not hugely so

I hope doc rivers still has that parade route research

remarkable performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYoqIrbdfRY

wow some v nice passing in there

wow rip dean smith just saw that

Giannis has been rolllin

pero antic is the worst flopper in the game

crushed dean smith beneath his roll rip

that giannis move on ariza at the beginning of that video is like a marshawn lynch run as basketball

man it's nice to see him bully dudes

I feel like he has some Paul pierce in his game. There's a slow fluidity to it almost like watching nfl films or whatever.

yes otm it's kind of amazing how under control the pace of his game is already considering his gangliness and reserves of crazy altheticism

yeah he looks like a real baller not just a freak

Close one atl-Memphis both teams playing hard /sheed

Teague down

awesome game by Pekovic tonight, beautiful violence

James Harden shoots a lot of freethrows idk if u guys knew that

tough loss against memphis. horford and millsap only had ten combined, grizzlies had 17 offensive rebounds to hawks 3. precisely what i was worried about. i can take comfort in that it was close and very winnable even w/ memphis fired up and at home. still man even if we did somehow make the finals (which i can't even consider) that is the one team i don't want to face.

memphis are tough yeah and deeper now too

spurs played like warmed over garbage half the time, deserved that L in toronto
