Clippers in trouble

Welp.

Last week, I had said the Clippers were doomed, and that was with a healthy Blake Griffin. Now? Forget about it.

I don’t know if it’s a real curse. I don’t know. What I do know is that injuries have been a thing for basically all of the 21st century for this team, and that’s a shame. Throw in a couple of bust players from the draft, and it’s just been…really bad.

I’m not sure what the Clippers can do. They really can’t…like…blow it up. They have players under contract but are also injured. Would teams want that risk? If Griffin really does have injury issues, then the Clippers are locked into that contract.
