First of all, the Clippers are acting like their dog died or something. I know this whole Chauncey ordeal has been very emotional, for not only the organization, but for the fans as well. I mean, when I found out, I freaked out (went crazy actually), but then i got over it. Just like what they need to do. Tonight they played terrible against the Cavaliers. I mean the Cavaliers were hot from the 3 range, but they just ultimately OUTWORKED the Clippers. The Clippers didn’t even seem like they wanted it, no one was hungry, and yea maybe fatigue can be an excuse, but that’s just it, it is just an excuse. They are better than this. One guy down does not mean everything is over and they don’t have to win every game. Don’t get me wrong, Chauncey is undeniably a large part of the Clippers, from the leadership to just an all around player. But he is still ON the team, he is still THERE. They need to step it up, each and every one of them.. from the starters to the bench. Defense still needs to improve.
We deserve this, the fans that have been here for years and years on end! The organization deserves this (yes, Sterling included). But most of all all the players on that team deserve it. You guys have worked too damn hard to make a new name for the Clippers, don’t let it all slip away, because of one bump in the road. Bounce back from it, keep it moving! You are all so much better than this. In 2005-06 when the Clippers went to the playoffs, it was one of the most exciting times ever! I remember being there (same seats as today), and everyone going crazy, watching Brand, Livingston, Mobley… it was so loud in there!! I remember they interviewed a player from another team, they asked, “Out of all the arenas you have been to, and teams you have played, who have been the loudest, and most intense?” You know what the player said? ”The Clipper fans! They are really loud and full of excitement” I want to hear that again, and i want to see that again. I know it can happen, I know it can be done. So, let’s do this CLIPPER NATION!!!! Let’s RISE UP!!!!!!!
Love his expressing.
