Blake Griffin may miss Clippers' opener
By J.E. Skeets

Right on Simmons' "Clippers Curse Comment" cue, rookie Blake Griffin may miss Tuesday's regular season opener after tweaking his knee in Friday's meaningless preseason game against the Hornets.

Griffin suffered the injury to his left knee after coming down off a massive dunk in the third quarter.



According to the L.A. Times, Griffin did not practice Sunday and is expected to be examined by team doctors on Monday. And knowing the Clippers' questionable medical staff, he'll likely miss the entire 2009-10 regular season after a team doctor accidentally blinds the kid with his pen flashlight.

Well that sucks, poor Clippers.

I hope he's OK. I do't expect GREAT things from the Clips, but it would be nice to see them at least have a shot at the Playoffs this year.

The OP's execution was fine, and it worked at fooling at least 1 Laker fan poster despite the "technicality."

I'll make another prediction.

Bynum will be a back-up the entire season and will average fewer than 15 mpg.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice ... well you know how that goes. Not this time, buddy.

I bet you twenty bucks I can get you gambling by the end of the day.

anytime you think bill simmons is right, go listen to his podcast before the superbowl from 2 years ago, where he said he cant imagine anything other than a blowout

Harsh.

And so the Clippers continue being the Clippers.

[Chieflion]

I say the Clippers should relocate to change their curse. Either way, the le of the thread will be proven right. Both teams are Los Angeles, LA. Therefore, it is safe to confirm one of the teams will lose on opening night.

[Danny.Zhu]

Clippers lose by 20+.

6 weeks on a stress fracture?

Sure.
