Short-handed Clips Short Dicked the Nets
The Clips tipped off early on MLK to get a head start on their 3 wins in 3 days schedule this week. Blake Griffin and Company jumped all over Mr. Kardashian’s mates stretching their lead to 15 points by the end of the 1st quarter. Kris Humphries actually put up a respectable line (14pts, 7rbs), but shouldn’t he be too embarrassed to show his face in L.A? C’mon Kris, everyone knows the number one rule of marriage is, “Don’t ever marry someone who has done porn/sex tape for profit”. Rules numbers two and three should be, “don’t marry reality television personalities” and “don’t marry Armenian rich chicks”; but I doubt a Minnesota monkey (not racist, he actually does look like a primate) like Kris even knows that he got played.
Speaking of getting played, the Nets shot only 42 percent on the afternoon and managed to make Randy Foye look like a viable NBA starter. With Chris Paul out, Randy Foye had to handle the point and did so brilliantly by putting up a 13 and 10 day right in the face of big money contract Deron Williams. Mr. Williams may be the first non-mormon on earth to actually miss Utah.
Going forward the Clips are going to have to play back to backs at Utah and then back home for Dallas on national television. Tonight’s Utah game should be an early test for a new team learning how to play with each other on the road. The addition of injuries to CP3 and Mo Williams the Clippers are going to eventually get some production from their bench; namely Ryan Gomes and Reggie Evans. The Clippers shit the bed in Portland earlier this month (it’s okay, everyone does it), but for the Clippers to become a confident and dangerous playoff team they’re going to need to learn to win road games especially with the adversity of injuries.
Final note: Blake Griffin makes me question my atheism. (23pts, 14 boards)
