Enjoying the Season


After another frustrating loss last night, my wife asked if I was ready to give up on the Clippers. "Never " was my response.
I primarily watch basketball to be entertained and I have found the 2010-2011 Clippers to be a very entertaining team. In recent past losing seasons, a lot of ther games were pretty boring with many uninteresting players.

Despite the 1-11 record, most of the games have been competitive and we have got to witness the development of the young guys. Of course along with that development and exciting play you are going to have mistakes. It's unavoidable yet still frustrating to us fans who want to see wins.

Before I had Clippers season tickets, I had Laker tickets from 1999-2004. As you know they won 3 straight Championships and went to a fourth final so it was a pretty good run. While the playoffs were great to go to, the regular season was a different story. The games became so routine and winning came so easy that as a fan you could hardly appreciate it.

As a Clipper fan, it's a different story. We appreciate each win no matter who it is against. We have eternal hope that our fortunes will change and we will have been there from the beginning. We will have witnessed the building and development of a Championship level team(if they don't screw it up...I know a big if) from the ground up. All those years of ridicule for the team and the fans will go away. It will have all been worth it.

Looking at the remaining schedule, I still think the team can win 25 games or more if they really get it together and start to click. If you live in the L.A. area, it's still a great opportunity to get out to the games as tickets are pretty reasonable and are easy to come by. Check out Goldstar, Travelzoo, and the ticket exchange for some great deals.

So I for one am going to enjoy this season and appreciate the entertainment. Hopefully one day we will look back on the 2010-2011 season as the turning point for the franchise.
