Does this actually make the Clippers better? foye has been doing well and bledsoe is set to return shortly.

i think Billups was a horrible fit for the Clippers.

The Billups thing was kind of an awkward fit from the start. He was probably nice to have to fill in at PG when Paul was on the bench. I think Mo is a better option at this point and has been playing better, but now they lose him as an option off the bench.

I guess it depends on how well Bledsoe plays/what kind of trade or SG signing they can make.

And so it begins.

This season has been plagued with major injuries. Probably a combination of a fast ramp-up and the torrid pace of the games.

I hate this year's schedule for that reason. With all the back to backs (half of them requiring thousand mile plane trips in between), it's a meat grinder. Yea, basketball doesn't have the contact of football, but all that starting, stomping, and jumping on the hardwood is really hard on the joints and tendons.

Should have done 50-55 games. We'll see what the injury situations of playoff teams look like, but this season's champ might actually deserve an asterisk.
