I guess it makes it less bad. I mean, we were going to get killed anyway right so I suppose if you were in zach's shoes its not entirely not understandable.

Now we just need some sort of explanation as to why baron sucks so bad. Oh wait heart failure. Or heart nonexistance. And ass bruises. Can dunleavy trade baron's heart for kevin garnetts? We can throw in 3 years 1st round picks?

As for zach's isnt a bad player personally. At least his father somewhat explains the suspension.

not

really…

what does your father being ill and violence have to do with anything?

matt barnes mother and barbosa’s mother both died recently. No violence.

Zbo’s response was definitely not appropriate.

You have to keep your cool regardless

Even Kaman kept it together somewhat, he only pushed Evans after the “cookie” incident.

I hate to say this guys

Hey, just visiting from Blazersedge. Wanted to give you Clip fans a heads up. We drafted Z-Bo, we brought him up in a system of gangsters and egos. And unsurprisingly it’s made him absolute POISON to any team he plays for. His stats will always be good, (after all he’s talented and selfish), but mark my words, your team will ALWAYS have a losing record as long as he’s on the roster.

It’s almost like the Basketball Gods are punishing Zach for squandering his special gifts. I legitimately feel bad for any team who is stuck with him. It’s sort of our fault that he is the way he is, and I hope you guys find a way to get rid of him ASAP. If you ask me the Clippers need to look away from offensive minded players, and trade for underrated defenders. It would also help if all your big men weren’t injured, or punching people in the face because they want to visit home.

Best of luck to you in future seasons, I mean that. If I were your coach, I’d bring up some D-leaguers and play all my young guys, the lottery can do a lot for a team, just ask the Blazers. Cheers.

Z-Bo

reminds me of the anti Bruce Bowen. The game comes so easily to Z-Bo that he hardly has to expend any effort. Bruce Bown worked hard to earn every shot he’s ever taken and he’s only in the league because of his perseverance. While Bruce Bown is a glue guy and a necessary evil on a championship team, he’s not a guy that you count on to carry your squad. Z-bo, on the other hand, teases a bad franchise with superstardom.

On this current Clippers team, a guy like Bowen or Q Ross isn’t really needed because the franchise isn’t in a position to win anything. Zach, on the other hand, can usually put up monster numbers in a losing effort. The franchise probably should start over but chances are, they won’t.
