Tuesday's Clippers News: Players believe they can win NBA title

Paul Pierce thinks Clippers are an NBA "super team": Paul Pierce knows something about being on an NBA “super team.” In 2008, he was joined on the Celtics by Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen and that team eventually won an NBA championship. At Clippers media day on Monday, he was asked about the challenges the Warriors could face after Kevin Durant decided to join forces with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. -- Los Angeles Times

Los Angeles Clippers say they can play with anybody and want a title: The widely held assumption is that the Clippers and every other team in the NBA saw the gap between them and the Golden State Warriors widen over the summer. Never mind that the Clippers still have their core of Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. -- Los Angeles Times

Paul Pierce plans to soak up everything during his final NBA season: Paul Pierce sat on stage at the Clippers’ practice facility a year ago, with hopes of being a major contributor and dreams of bringing a championship parade to the streets of Los Angeles. One media day later, the tone was much different. Pierce, who earlier in the day announced that he plans to retire from the NBA following the upcoming season, his 19th, joked with teammates and talked about soaking everything in on the last stop of his career before it finally wraps up someday with his enshrinement in the Hall of Fame. -- The Orange County Register
