State of the Clippers Address, part 2

It’s been a long month for Clippers fans, and the Draft Lottery didn’t change a whole lot. The team went into the ping-pong ball crapshoot with the 8th best chance of getting the first pick and fittingly came back from Secaucus with the eight pick. Given that Elgin Baylor, “a veteran of the Lottery process”, and Mike Dunleavy [...]

Who in their right mind would sign up for this?

I, just like everyone else, have a drunk friend. You know the type. Drinks a few too many cold ones while waiting for dinner, starts acting up midway through the meal and by the time everybody is enjoying dessert he goes on a rant about what he’d do to the waitress and starts making inappropriate racial [...]

Dear Donald, bring Larry Brown to LA.

I don’t believe for a second that Larry Brown actually inquired about becoming the Clippers’ head coach for next season. He’s about to take his team into the first postseason in franchise history and has a good chance at establishing a positive tradition in Charlotte.  Brown openly flirted with the Knicks during the 2005 Playoffs, but New York [...]

Really?

Just when you thought Donald Sterling couldn’t cause any more harm to the Clippers, he outdoes himself and manages to turn the dismissal of Mike Dunleavy into a negative. It was bad enough to hand control of the franchise to a man who seemed to do his best to contradict common sense every step of the [...]

Come on now

I’ll start with this disclaimer: I believe Chris Kaman is a Top 3 center in this league and am ecstatic that a Clipper will be in Dallas.

Now that that we’ve got this out of the way, you have to be kidding me. Kaman had indeed been snubbed in the initial selection for the ASG reserves, but [...]

About time…

I’m not a religious person at all, but tonight I feel compelled to yell “Praise the Lord”. After seven years of heartache and disappointment, of inexplicable move after dumbfounding move, of throwing ice-cold players out in the deciding moments of crucial games (from “I haven’t even waved a towel in 20 minutes” Eddie House to “What [...]

The All-Veteran Team

The hoopla regarding the retirement and ensuing comeback of Allen Iverson made me realize it’s been 13 years since he first set foot in the League. I’m not going to go into Old Timer Mode (partly because I’m way too young to sound like your grandpa, partly because you’re not here to read me waxing poetic [...]

Clipperdom

I’ve followed NBA basketball since the age of three. Being on the other side of the pond I didn’t really root for a specific team, rather focusing my attention on players whose style caught my eye here and there. I remained happily neutral for a bit but in 1994, it happened. I became a Clippers fan.

In [...]
