I'm kinda surprised there weren't any more Clippers fans that came out after last season

Yeah, the number of Clippers fans on here has hardly increased at all. The number of Clippers haters, however, has increased dramatically. Oh, well.

The blind hate for Blake/Clips is at a monumental high. No need to expound on that.
I luv it!

I for sure hate Blake Griffin 

Clippers tho? Whatever, I've always enjoyed watching them and going to their games. I've probably been to as many Clippers games as I have Kings games in the last 4-5 years

This was probably my favorite Clippers game I've attended 

please look at the line ups and the active rosters, got to finally see my boy The Custodian play that game

EDIT: Deandre Jordan and Mike Taylor during lay up lines was well worth the price of admission

EJ(2 went off that game and Taylor was always a fan fave even though his nba career was shorter than a ****** on his knees.

@ Gomes droppin 28 on us but never doing that in a LAC jersey.

Ah, the Baron era. Probably some of my least favorite Clippers squads ever. And that's saying a lot, considering I've been following the team since the late 1980s and have seen a few, awful Clippers teams.

Baron ended up making me long for the days of Dan Dickau and Brevin Knight. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd wind up with Chris Paul less than a year after dumping Baron.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

I'm still maad we didn't get the GSW Baron. >:

 

[pepperjackchees]

My favorite pre Blake Clipper moment. I was in the 4th row behind the basket too. 

 

[rook]

"the way the homies come through all blue whatcha gon do?"

it's not really "blind" hate though.

it's been discussed ad nauseum here why the clippers get ragged on. it's not even something that pertains to this board. a lot of people who follow basketball in general feel this way. except for a few players on the team there are some clippers players who feel real entitled to get respect from the fans, calls from the refs and adoration from the press. they might be fun to watch at times, but they're not even a good team.

 

[grandtheftbike]

^not this season jack!

blake tries to body everyone on offense but flops when people go at him on the other end. you cant tell me you dont see that

 

[flyerthandelta]

CP is the worst one in clipper nation the funny thing about it is he's pesty as **** when he wants the rock on def too

 

[CP1708]

^
Aye, add the 3 man. Easy on just the 2 letters alone there holmes.

 

[flyerthandelta]

respect

what was it that iggy brought to the sixers? theyve been talking about trading him for past 2-3 seasons but just never pulled the trigger till this season. He is a great player and worked good under doug collins as coach but like i said his inconsistent and horrible decision of shots at end of games was horrible to watch. Sure he had some games where he balled out but not ona daily basis in which people this he can do. His D was the only thing he has going for him besides getting the crowd hyped.

Defense is the main difference, but offensively, just where he liked to shoot, get the ball, where he moved the ball, things like that. Regardless if he was successful - more what he'd like to do on a regular basis. Wright, Young and Richardson will all shoot at different spots, make different decisions, and overall work differently than Iguodala. They're all wings but that's where the similarities end.

My only point is that it's impossible to say you lose Iggy/Brand and then plug in Young/Rich/Wright into the Iggy spot and Bynum into the Brand spot. They might play similar positions but they like to do different things on the floor in different ways than their predecessors. Things will change. It's not as simple as replacing one with another. Wright once led the league in 3PT% - why did his play suffer last year? Will Jrue and Bynum hit him in rhythm? Will Young's free-wheeling playing style hinder anyone else? Will Jrue have space to work with Bynum in the post?

Cliffs: impossible to predict how changes will or won't work. It's not just a swap
