I don't see any future in Clippers. I would like them do better but they always seem to trade their best player for stupid reason. There is no team chemistry what so ever in that team.

S14 n Tsx

I hope so.

Once Wade comes back. I really hope they better do at least 60-22 or better.

he hurt that same shoulder the game before. he wasnt even supposed to start against utah that day. and he also got banged up previously in the 1st or 2nd quarter I forgot. btw he was out for 2 games after that game cuz of the pain in the shoulder

S14 n Tsx

^^ that clear things up. I don't really follow Clippers' game, so I didn't know the status of E. Gordon being hurt or not. The reason I wrote that because he looked fine and almost looked like he was faking it, so that he didn't have to deal with taking a last shot to get all the blame. Clearly, no one on clippers team wanted to take that last shot.

He did had a crazy dunk to go to double over time.

Yumcha

They should be 82-0 next year.

S14 n Tsx

just next year? how about next 1023901248 years?

don't worry boozer will be still injured and rose will be a 30ppg guard.

Clips are always about being good 'next year.' I say they try to trade for Steve Nash. He'd be great with Griffin. I have no idea if it could actually be pulled off, but they'd be better suited to each other than baron and griffin.

S14 n Tsx

I don't know. I haven't seen them play together yet... I'm pretty sure griffin would suit better with nash doing pick&roll, just like how nash&amare used to do.

suns needs to make some sort of trade for a good center, or nash is out of there.

3sge

well.. Nash is on the trading block and the Suns are looking for a big man and/or a young talent so I say get rid of bad contract in Baron Davis and give young athletic guy in Deandre Jordan and we'll call it a day. but then again... who would want baron's remaining two and a half year contract...

S14 n Tsx

^^ no one, especially when he is always hurt.

Yumcha

And ...

Yumcha

mystikk

Yup. This time, he'll break his back picking the mail up.

Yumcha

Speaking of injuries...is Udonis Haslem's season over...?

S14 n Tsx

I hope nash gets traded it to a better team.... he is on my fantasy team and he is suck. lol

Even the few years they made the Playoffs they barely made the 8th seed by a game or 2 and they didn't get very far.

Yes it is Sterlings fault you have to realize the owner and management set the tone for their franchise and Sterling is the one of if not the worst owner in pro sports.

The Clippers have had some good coaches over their history but mysteriously when they coach the Clippers their results were much worse than their previous results with other teams.

FiftyFive

I seriously hope not, he is such a solid player and the Heat would have a lot of trouble filling his shoes.

CarbonGray Earl

Agree with all of this. Add to that, there's a team across the hall that's BEEN doing it all these years. So its not like its some small market with minimal resources where no one wants to go.

Stupid decisions- paying grade A money for B+ talent and then over relying on those players.

With the clips, all I want is a reason to root for them. I'm die-hard Lakers, but I've got a soft spot for any LA team.

3sge

dude they got the 6th seed that year and actually beat the nuggets to move on to the 2nd round. They almost even went to the conference finals. only lost to suns in game 7 in a very close game........
Sterling IS the worst owner. but how can you blame him for the 1-10 start. I mean we have good talent on this team. This is not just one person's fault. It's coaching and the lack of experience from the players also

Yumcha

Yeah...he's definitely invaluable to the lineup. Who do they have on the bench...?

3sge

Also, it may seem like I'm supporting Sterling. but trust me.... being a Clippers fan for over a decade.... I've had enough of this bullcrap and want him out of this organization for good. I'm just saying it is still possible to get back on winning track even with Sterling if the clips get a better GM and make the right moves. Because clearly... the new GM (olshey) doesnt know what he's doing.... (he signed Brian Cook, Gomes, and Foye during the offseason. Possibly worse move than drafting olowokandi).

dom

I thought it was tough being a Raptors fan. Can only imagine being a Clips fan. The entire organization needs to be turned over, starting with ownership.

3sge

yea, I think clips fans have it the worst. one winning season the past 10 years.. this is getting ridiculous... I don't think it will change anytime soon though cuz Sterling obviously doesnt give a Sh!t

dom

You should have no problem luring the best talent to that team. I know they sort of seem like the Lakers poor cousins but if they get it right starting from the top...that should be a good and respectable team.

Numbers wise, how do Clippers fan compare to Lakers fans down there?

3sge

I would say about 75% of basketball fans in greater Los Angeles/Orange County area are Lakers Fans. However, there are also a lot of bandwaggon Lakers fans not to hate on anybody. It's really hard to find Clippers fans even around Southern California haha

CarbonGray Earl

Every winning team will have bandwagon fans. Clipper fans have their own bandwagon in good years. This is LA afterall, the same rules apply.

As a Lakers fan, the bandwagon is always open to anyone. The more fans, more revenue. More money, better talent. Better talent, better chances for winning. Winning means more chances at a championships. More championships, more fans......

S14 n Tsx

I would say less than 20%. I think people go to Clippers game because it's whole not cheaper compare it to Lakers game.

I would say Lakers home game vs. Clippers home game ticket is about double.

I'm an L.A. native and die hard Lakers fan since the late 70's and I have given the Clippers every chance in the 24 plus years they have been in L.A. and they will disappoint 9.9 out of 10. Dom your right that whole organization needs to be cleaned out, turned over, flipped upside down, renamed and rebranded. I think when Stern was saying contraction is possible in regards to the CBA I hope he was talking about the Clippers.

The Heat need a new coach there is no way that this team should be 8-6, this time last year they were 9-5 with less talent.

Paying all that money for talent and not improving your coaching staff is like buying a thorobred racehorse and letting a fat jockey ride it in the Derby either way you got no chance.

CarbonGray Earl

Been a Laker diehard 30 years and I always have a little hope for the Clippers. I certainly never hate them, there's really no reason to.

You'll hear a Clipper fan admit they are Laker Hater more often than the other way around. They need a change in something. Players get there either too old, too jaded, and the new talent they want to rely on leaves at their first chance.

CarbonGray Earl

Tanking to get Riles in there? I'm not saying, I'm just sayin....

For the record, I've rooted for Spoelstra well before the whole LeBosh Wade thing. He's part filipino....we got credit where we can.

3sge

Clippers win clippers win clippers win!!!!!!!!!!!!! We beat the hornets!! Wow.. 50% shooting against the best defensive team in the NBA.

Well what do you know the Clippers beat the Hornets tonight.

CarbonGray Earl

Here's to hoping we'll have a Hallway Series....

S14 n Tsx

wtf is going on with heat? they should be shamed to have 8-6 record right now.

Doom878

Ok now I'm worried. Not because of the record though. More because of Haslem missing a long time, Wade with a gimpy wrist, Miller not coming back anytime soon, and having to sign Ericka Dampier to fill Haslem's spot. That's our 2nd, 4th, and 5th best players with injuries. I'm not an expert on coaching and I don't think we have a Shaq type to kick out Spo like we did VG. Plus I don't think Riley will give up on Spo that fast. I mean seriously NBA coaching is a carousel and very hit and miss. Plus I really don't think Riley wants to coach long term. And it's not like Jerry Sloan is ready to take over as soon as Riley makes the call. So much for 70 (which I never believed we get) or even 60 wins at this point. We'll just have to make like last year's Celtics and get hot at the end.

Yumcha

^ Why're you worried? You have the Big Two and a Half Men. Should be more than enough.

Yumcha

Okay Lakers...!

Rose is in town tonight. Just. Bring it.







Go Bulls!
