CANNOT believe that after 5 bajillion sports commentators warned Blake Griffin of the "Clippers Curse" that not one of those assumption could jinx/break it! CANNOT stand to think that Griffin's career will forever be marred by injuries a la Shaun Livingston / Danny Manning.

I hate to quote Bill Simmons on this but.....

"Dear Blake,

Run. Just start running. Run for your life. Run like the star of a horror movie. Don't turn around. Run and keep running.......

Our final tally of post-1976 injuries to marquee Clippers players: five career-altering knee injuries (Livingston, Manning, Harper, Smith, Nixon), one career-ending ruptured disc (Johnson), one career-altering back surgery (Vaught), three season-ending torn Achilles (Brand, Archibald, Nixon), one heart arrithymia (Cummings) and multiple foot stress fractures (Walton). Every one of those guys was a top-three player on the team or headed that way." - ESPN (June 24, 2009)

On another note, can we please fix Kobe Bryan'ts ailments before the playoffs. Pretty pretty please? I'll gladly give the keys to Bynum/Pau/Odom/Artest and let them figure things out for a bit.
