1. clippers

   The Los Angeles Clippers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. The Clippers compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Pacific Division in the league's Western Conference. The Clippers play their home games at Crypto.com Arena, which they share with NBA team Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Sparks of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), and the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Clippers plan to move into their own arena, the Intuit Dome, in nearby Inglewood by 2024. The franchise was founded as the Buffalo Braves in 1970 as an expansion team. Led by Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo, the Braves reached the NBA playoffs three times during their eight seasons in Buffalo. Conflicts with the Canisius Golden Griffins over the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium and the sale of the franchise led to their relocation from Buffalo to San Diego, California in 1978 and subsequent rebranding as the San Diego Clippers, in reference to the sailing ships seen in San Diego Bay. The team saw little success on the court and missed the playoffs during all six of their years in San Diego. In 1984, owner Donald Sterling controversially relocated the franchise to Los Angeles without NBA approval, which was permitted following legal action between the league and Sterling. Over the course of their first 27 seasons in Los Angeles, the Clippers qualified for the postseason only four times and won a single playoff round. They were frequently considered a perennial loser in American professional sports, drawing unfavorable comparisons to the historically successful Lakers. The Clippers' reputation improved during the 2010s, which saw them transform into consistent postseason contenders. Aided by the "Lob City" lineup of Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, and Chris Paul, the team qualified for the playoffs in six consecutive seasons from 2012 to 2017 and won two consecutive division titles in 2013 and 2014, both firsts for the franchise. Despite this success, the Clippers struggled in the postseason and were frequently eliminated in the Conference Semifinals; the team reached the Conference Finals for the first time in 2021. To date, they are the league's oldest franchise to have never played in the NBA Finals.

Examples of CLIPPERS in a Sentence

1. Kyrie Irving:

   We made shots, we made (the Clippers) come into defensive rotations. We made it uncomfortable for DeAndre to come out and guard Kevin when we went small and (James) goes to the four, so it was hard for them to match up with us when we go small like that.

2. Kawhi Leonard:

   That wasnt the case Saturday. Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic were a combined 20 for 38 from the floor, 7 for 13 from 3-point range. Paul George scored 22 points for the The Clippers, who got 15 from Ivica Zubac and endured a rare off night offensively from Kawhi Leonard. The two-time NBA Finals MVP had 13 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, but shot only 4 for 17. Kawhi Leonard had scored at least 20 points in 27 of Kawhi Leonard last 28 playoff games and had at least 29 in all seven playoff games this season. We dug ourselves in a 20-point hole early.

3. Alvin Gentry:

   Youve got to get yourself in basketball shape, conditioning-wise, and thats going to be a process. Hes eager to be out there and all of his teammates are eager for him to be out there, but its a step by step process that weve got to take so that its done the right way, Gentry addded. Theres no date, per se, but were hoping that its soon. After the Pelicans host the Bulls, they hit the road for games at New York on Friday, Boston on Saturday and Detroit on Monday before returning home to play Utah on Jan. 16. If the Pelicans want Williamson to make his debut in New Orleans, that game could be a candidate, or the following game against the visiting Los Angeles Clippers on Jan. 18. We want to make sure that everything is in place and well take our time.

4. Jorge Flores:

   It hit us in a big way, you absolutely need the clippers.

5. Manu Ginobili:

   We adjusted well and we played a way better second half -- everyone could see that, we were more energetic and aggressive and more focused. The bench players try to make a push every time, and last year the Clippers' second unit created a lot of trouble for us. Today we were more successful.
