Hi, my name is Broderick Turner, and welcome back to the Los Angeles Times' Clippers newsletter.
Clippers players are just as interested as fans in the outcome of games around the NBA, which teams are winning and losing, and how it affects them.
So, yes, they will be keeping an eye on the games being played Thursday night, Friday night, this weekend and for the rest of the season.
First of all, the Trail Blazers are one of the teams the Clippers are trailing in the West, a team they hope they can catch for one of the playoff spots.
