Jan 2007 Clippers Update

Although the Los Angeles Clippers Warriors finished the previous season in disappointing fashion, the team’s organization seems to be much better in the current season. Starting with the offseason, the team drafted the center Paul Davis in the second round of the 2006 NBA Draft. Los Angeles also drafted the guard Guillermo Diaz. The team has come off their best season during the last twenty-two years since they have been located in LA.

The team scored a major coup by signing a $24 million contract with the forward Tim Thomas from Phoenix. Later, the guard Sam Cassell signed a two-year contract worth of $13 million. He is largely credited as the major reason for Los Angeles recent success.

The increased demand for the games of the Los Angeles Clippers led to the scheduling of 12 nationally-televised LA games on TNT and ESPN, and the team’s first-ever appearance on the ABC (on April 15, 2007 versus Sacramento). The team will have 8 additional games on NBA TV. This brings the overall number of nationally televised games to twenty, the largest number in the franchise history.

On January 5, 2007, the Los Angeles Clippers played a stunning match with the Atlanta Hawks. Joe Johnson scored a game-high 27 points, and thus, helped his team to break off an eight-game losing streak. Currently, the team is 12-6 at home and 3-13 on the road.

According to the latest statistics, the Los Angeles Clippers are the fifth in their Division, but the team is keeping on their struggle for better results.
