I think because "everyone" has seen the history of the Clippers and how they have had many very talented players and have not been able to keep them because players want to have at least a shot at winning a championship and they know there is no chance of the with the Clippers. The Clippers have a hard time winning any respectable amount of games let alone a championship. Study their history my friend not just recent history and you will understand what "everyone" is talking about.
Trust me, I am scared that their history will effect their ability to resign their stars, but I just find it extremely disrespectful to be talking about how to strip the Clippers of all their talent just because they have a bad history. At least give him a few years to try and change the culture, see how their record is, see what the front office does to build around him, and if Blake and EJ still are convinced that the front office won't make the moves to be a contender, then maybe I can't blame them to keep their options open. No one is talking about when john wall's contract is up or tyreke evans, cousins, etc. I guess i've heard similar talk in regards to Kevin Love, and I find that disrespectful to wolves fans too.

dude, seriously Chicago has no sportmanlike fans, i hope derrick rose's gets a cheer when he gets knocked down in pain. It just makes it more better that wade made a better choice. and i see how your team operates by when in doubt injure the other team's star players. Other than that it was a good game.

What are you talking about...? The crowd booed Wade which IMO was deserved...but, otherwise, they are standard fans.

no, im talking about when he went knee-to knee with somebody and they cheered that he was hurt. im like really. it shows that those people have no class at all. btw, he didn't do a lebron, imo that was a slap to his face to the fans that he grew up with. Its ok for the booing, but really. don't worry you guys only have only played with 1 1/2 of the big 3 on the floor. our bench stepped up, but at the end couldn't pull it off.

Um, dude...they were cheering because it was still Bulls possession after the scramble.

It was not really noticed that MiniMe was down until the replay...

The cheering was because it was for the hustle and effort for the ball, dude.

sorry, i'm just sick of all these fans saying the clippers don't deserve Griffin, and that he should get out of there. I mean the clippers have a rough history, and trust me, I know it better than a lot of people. I'm not sure they've ever had the kind of championship quality superstar to really build around in the Sterling era (ron harper? danny manning? loy vaught? miles? odom?). They've had some talented guys but Griffin is already looking like a once in a generation type talent they've never seen. The clips have also been actually resigning people, and handing out some decent contracts in recent years. I'll admit i'm still not convinced DTS will open up his wallet and operate over the cap (I've already resigned that he'll never be over the tax), so it'll be very interesting to see what they do in the next few years.

Never said or implied anything bad about the clips....an org that I personally have family and friends working for.

I've probably said the same thing about Griffin on OKC though, haha. I remember that draft lottery, and when OKC ended up in the top 3, I almost assumed OKC would somehow end up with the top pick since Griffin was such a hometown hero. Not to infer that the lottery is rigged, but it would've been such a storybook moment. Right now, I don't think the clips would trade Griffin for anyone though, not LBJ, not Rose, maybe not even KD.

I know you Heat fans wished they could've had Rose too. But, oh well. Maybe when he becomes a UFA.

meh. Are you seriously making these assumptions without actually being there? Of course Heat announcers are going to sound biased. You have to hear some of the things Stacy Kind says during local coverage. Chicago fans are some of the most respectful and hardcore fans in the country, regardless of the sport. If this was in Miami, half the fans probably wouldn't have known who was Bosh. lol

But, good to hear they won even without Noah and Boozer. Must've been the Rose Show again.
