Every since Blake was caught on camera saying "Lob City Baby" upon hearing of the trade for Chris Paul, the players and the organization have done everything to downplay the image as just a high flying dunking act. All the talk about this not being playoff style basketball or trying to gentrify our image to become the new sheriff in town to replace the Lakers has backfired in my opinion.
The Clippers should embrace who they are and what their athletic prowess allows them to be. A fast moving, fun to watch, high wire attacking team. CP3 should adapt to the strengths of his teammates rather than players like Blake or DJ having to adjust to his more deliberate style.
Blake is not David West and DJ is more of a young stallion than a post player you throw the ball into to make a play.
I actually do not like the name Lob City but I sure like what it stands on the court far more than what I am seeing now. The whole game opens up for the team and the fans when we play to our strength. I also feel the enthusiasm from the offense could also translate into a more focused defense. Your thoughts agreeing or not are welcome as this is one person's opinion.
Lob City Baby!
