You have to love the Internuts and new media.
Cameras were on hand to catch the reactions of Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and Caron Butler after they hear the news of the Clippers acquisition of Chris Paul. The first full sentence Jordan gets out? “It’s going to be Lob City.”
So what does the Internet do?
The Internet creates a f’n t-shirt with the swiftness and starts selling them immediately. #CantKnockTheHustle.

Lob city, bitch, lob-lob city, biiitch….
Finally an LA team that I can actually root for. So you’re gonna have 2 superstar teams in there and 2 in NY if D12 goes. This is gonna be a crazy time for basketball.
I’m actually glad that they didn’t get the keep Eric Gordon b/c that would’ve REALLY been an unfair squad.
It’s a business but celebrating like that right outside of the bus inside E. Gordon and ‘em were is somehow on some cold shit, lol

Shhh! lol You’re going to ruin their day!
Clippers fans about to come out the woodwork like the cavs fans, goodbye super cheap tickets.
I got to work this morning and my lakers headphones were broke. What does that mean?
What’s crazy is seeing how the Clippers culture has totally 180 degree’d since drafting Griffin. Now they are a pretty serious contender in the West just two years later.
@Cell
Add to that that they are young, have CP3 2 years not just this one, and will be under the cap this summer. They have become an attraction long term destination. Some could argue more attractive than the Lakers. Seems like Jim Buss is trying to drive Kobe insane anyway, like he wants to force him to ask for a trade…again.
Season tickets sold out for the first time. Smh. How long you guys think paul will be there for?
already bought tix for the jan30 game…(day after bday) clippers v thunder happy birthday to me
Yeah they’re bench ain’t about nothing and like I said before it would’ve been amazing although straight up not right if they kept Gordon. Either way I’ll look forward to the highlights. Here’s hoping everyone stays healthy. They need a 2 badly though. That way Chauncey can come off the bench and they can dump Mo Williams.

I think that’s the biggest part of it all.

He’s teaming up w/ the arguably the best PF in the game and a pretty descent surrounding cast. I say this can be a potentially strong marriage if the Clippers front office don’t act like, well the Clippers front office.

Similar criticisms were made about the Heat in before and during last year… It wouldn’t take TOTAL geniuses to fix that. A few teams out here, like my own, need a guard or two.
Moving Gordon was a great move imo. I believe it was the great Sir Charles of Barkley who once opined: “Ben Gordon is the black hole of basketball.”
Dude literally never saw a shot he didnt take.
Hopefully their racist prick of an owner dies soon so I don’t feel dirty for rooting for them.
Lulz, disregard previous retarded Warfare Chris comment.
Wrong Gordon. *drinks more coffee*
He’s teaming up w/ the arguably the best PF
=======================
He’s playing with Dirk??!!
“Ben Gordon is the black hole of basketball.”

Funny, I thought that title belonged to Russell Westbrook
He’s teaming up w/ the arguably the best PF
===============================
Randolph, Bosh, Horford, Boozer, Amare
Blake is a one trick pony. He needs to improve defense, shooting and post game.
Well obviously Dirk but Dirk is on his way out… Look how far BG has come from his Sooner days to his rookie season. I think his potential and shooting growth gets clouded by his highlight material.
man i really wanted cp3 to go to orlando….so whats the word on dwight, he’s definitely gonna wanna leave now

I didn’t even have to say it this time lol
Yeah, Maurice, they got a lot of guards. But that gives them more pieces to play around with come trade time. Especially as so many teams are hurting for guards right now. And they offloaded Gordon… Which in my opinion was a bad move but you take the bad with the good.
Not to mention, young team, two second round picks… They’re looking to build.
There is still Sterling, but… Somebody will take care of that eventually.
Bringing Small Ball Back!!!! As a native New Orleanian and a fan of all things Louisana and sport… this is the day ive always dreaded… But as a fan of the 03-04 Clippers aka “The Greatest Team With A Sub 500 Record EVER” im glad to see them back in some kind of west coast contention…. Needless to say i wont be buying season tickets to see my hornets play untill we get something worth watching again =(
the only reason sterling is finally putting money behind the clippers is that the real estate market has fallen off a cliff, this is his best investment, his real estate holdings are kaput….all his apartments are overpriced here in LA and the ones that arent are run like a slumlord
No big men… that team is one sprained ankle away from being.. well.. the Clippers
And here comes the bandwagon fans.
They are still the Clippers and still owned by Donald Sterling
