Clippers back to winning?

This is finally shaping up to be the team Baron Davis thought it would be when he left the Warriors two years ago and signed with the Clippers. He reported to camp out of shape and dragging a strained calf and sore knee. Everyone exhaled and moved on. He’s back on the floor, all is forgiven, and soon we’ll see if Davis has changed along with his surroundings.
“When the season comes,” he vowed, “I’ll be ready.” How could he not be? Blake Griffin is healthy and looking beastly in the preseason. And Davis has other teammates to run with, throw to and win with. But it showed. His heart wasn’t in it. His head seemed elsewhere. That first season was a wash, especially when nagging injuries kept Davis out of 17 games.
Griffin, the life of the Draft party two summers ago before being KO’d by knee surgery, will compete for Rookie of the Year. You get the sense, if nothing else, that Griffin will rejuvenate Davis, if he hasn’t already. In his first preseason action, Davis found Griffin on a pretty alley-oop, and later said: “My job is to make his life easy.”
Yes, Griffin will wake up this team. So what about Davis? A big size air Jordan shoes for Davis maybe just like his situation, be a co-star in the clippers while nothing goes well.
