One step forward....ten steps back....

by clipFanInSD on Nov 18, 2009 7:16 PM PST

What more can I say? The basketball season started so high for me, I was in fact so excited to get to see the new look Clippers and hopefully prove to the league how talented they are after what happened last season...

Alas...it is not meant to be. By the time Sir Griff and the Hobbit comes back, we'll probably be so deep in the hole that we'll be talking about "see you next year" again and instead talk about trade talks of moving our players around...

Definitely some blame can be put on the coach and his staff, but the blame is not entirely on him. I blame the players too, for showing lackluster performance. I blame everyone...heck even some fans who are so disrespectful to our OWN team it doesn't help them really fire them up but instead bring them down....

Anyway, as we are losing to a 2-8 Grizzlies (soon to be 3-8), I will go on record right now that I'm boycotting my Clippers until they string together some good competitive games that they are worth watching.....like 4-5 game winning streak...or a 5 out of 7 winning string. In the meantime.....I'm going off the bandwagon. I'm really tired of watching them lose year in and year out....

GO LAKERS ;)

Actually I’m kidding….but I"m yearning to watch so good competitive basketball games that I can root for….and if its the Lakers who are doing that, then so be it. I’m really so mad right now….

Hahaha!

Yes, I’m calling out these Clippers that if they continue to play lethargic, people will jump on the Laker bandwagon!!!!

By the way, the Clippers were ORIGINALLY from San Diego….actually Buffalo, then San Diego, then Los Angeles….

Been following the Clippers since I was 10 years old, in the days of Don Casey (coach), Danny Manning, Ron Harper, Larry Brown, so I know what losing feels like. But this year I’m sooooo freakin’ disappointed because we have a playoff-caliber team and to perform like they did tonight against Memphis is disgraceful!

So call me questionable….I don’t care….I’m a fan of the sport too, and if the Clippers play like they don’t respect the sport of basketball, then call me a traitor then. Players who gets paid millions of dollars to play the sport should respect the sport and their fans by their effort and play.

CLIPPER NATION

I have to agree withe everything you said amigo I have also been a fan since I was 10 years old and I feel your pain this team has no heart we can blame Dumbleay all we want but the players need to respect the game BDAVIS was brought here for a reason and he is not performing his numbers might be better than last year but he still lacks the leadership, This is pathetic something needs to be done ASAP the way they are going the Staple Center will be a lonely place soon I just hope is not to late Sterling open up your eyes wake up we are not happy campers here Please do something soon

*some good competitive basketball...

I made a bet...

with a friend of mine who is an ex-clipper fan that if the Clips are going to be .500 by all star break then he’ll jump back on the bandwagon. If I lose then I’ll jump off for this season.

Seems like I’m going to lose.

Clippers 09-10. Prepare for a revolution.

They will lose by 30 against Denver!!

They suck! My highschool team could have beat these chumps. Clips have no leader on the team and that includes the coach. Blake will not put up with this Sh*t when he get’s back watch.

MONTA ELLIS please

Not really refering to your post

but more of your picture:

Your picture is really inspiring me to just use some Nail Clippers as my profile picture… I. Dont. Know. Why…

Blame game...

This looks like a classic case of a team completely giving up on their HC…they tune him out. If you got to a game, watch the Clips during time outs; they are looking around, watching spirit dancers, anything but listening o Dunleavy.

I firmly believe that this team is tired of listening to Dumbleavy and are tanking so that he is fired. This is a classic mutiny. I just hope Sterling and/or Dumbo give up and dismiss the dunce!

who is making the lazy passes??? who is throwing the ball away?

who isnt rebounding? who is taking really really bad shots? its the players….they are the ones playing like they just stepped foot on a court for the 1st time….rebounding and giving up offensive rebounds is desire and toughness…without blake, these guys suck and really arent worth watching….and if you do watch, like i do, you just realize that at any moment, they will implode.
