I tried my best to reframe from making another Clipper fan because theres already a lot of them out there. But this is for a good cause. It will give us an idea who wants to see the Clippers succeed, and who is sick and tired of hearing about them all the time, and who just doesn't care whether the Clips win or lose.

It's pretty obvious where I stand. Can't spell Clippers without my username. A lot of you already know that I've been a long time Clipper fan dating back to the Odom days where the Clippers showed minor signs of promice but managed to fauck it up. I've been there for the exciting times(DMiles, Sam Cassel, 06 playoff run, Blake Griffin's rookie performance) and been there for the bad (Andre Miller, Livingston's injury, The 06-07 hangover from prior season, Brand's achilles, Brand ditching us, wasted draft picks, Baron Davis wasting 3 years with us, constant injuries and setbacks when times looked good, etc. etc. etc.). Not only the Clippers traded for Paul, but they also brought in some quality freeagents in Caron Butler and Chauncey Billups and the Clippers FO seem like they are serious about turning the franchise from a laughingstock to contenders. The day the Clippers traded for Paul, I was pretty excited, but it didn't really set in until yesterday.

Yesterday, I was walking home from the gym after a good workout and was thinking about how much the face of the Clippers have changed and how astronomical the Chris Paul trade was. Yes, the Clippers made the trade for Chris Paul and the was enormous. But that's not the point. The point is, the Chris Paul trade just opened the door for the Clippers to the promice land, meaning, the Clippers are going to be a winning franchise that can finally attract big name players and valuable veterans and after I realised that, I had to fight tears because I was so ****ing happy that the team that I stood up for time and time again, through all the losing, bad dicisions, the torture, all the bullshit that comes with being a long time Clipper fan. I'm not promicing any championships or nothing, but the scenary has changed for the Clippers and I can't put it in words on how excited I am to see that the Clippers have finally made the big step. There was my cool story, bros.

I gotta say that the NBA Lockout was a blessing in disquise for the Clippers, as painful as it was for everyone.

I'm a Clipper neutral, but am willing to support them if they get farther in the playoffs than the Lakers. Of course, if they are playing the Lakers I can not support them. It is going to be nice to see 2 great teams representing L.A.

GOBB and Nugz if a few annoying Clippers fans (I'm sure you're both referring to me) can make you dislike a team less... I'd classify you both as mentally fragile and easily swayed. Me or other Clippers fans being homers or rambunctious shouldn't alter your opinion of the actual team.

I'm not going to strongly dislike the Heat because they have lame fans. I'm going to dislike the Heat because their players act like douches, are selfish or I don't like the actual team etc. Just seems pretty fickle of both of you... but can't expect much else in sports nowadays.

Nugz you remind me of Thornton. You talk about how you like/don't mind the team... but in every fu**ing thread about them.. you're ragging on the team, calling players overrated, talking trash on the fans. Frankly you can stay on your shi**y Nuggets wagon and watch it go straight to hell because you're not getting on this wagon.

It will also depend on who they play of course. I will support them against the Heat and the Lakers, I will want them to lose against the Knicks and Denver

Supporter. Lakers are my team. But I've been following both teams for some time. I've been following the Clipps since the early 90's when they had Loy Vaught, Danny Manning, Ron Harper and Doc Rivers. Always was able to go see both the Lakers and Clippers when I was growing up so I knew players from each team. As a lot of Clipper fans know, I regularly post in Clippers threads and I probably know more about the Clipps than some of their "fans."

Yea you're legit. You, Dave3, Zen and a few others stand out as non Clippers or Clips as a second team fans who definitely are supporters and are knowledgeable about the team.

Then why do you even like sports? It's supposed to be about the team... not the fans. If you like a team you like a team. Choosing who you like and dislike based on a couple homer fans is fickle. For example. I grew up in LA/OC and deal with a ton of annoying Lakers fans who like to talk sh**. Doesn't mean I hate the Lakers. I may dislike a lot of the fans but the actual team.. why?

But seriously if you didn't make a new thread everytime Blake chooses a new cereal or if the clips get new shoe laces this wouldnt be a problem and you wouldnt be crying. You bring all of this on yourself.

And do you actually think I want on the bandwagon? Really?

Don't get me wrong I like teams but if I don't care about some team and lots of people love it and the media gushes about it and I still find any reason to like them, I will eventually start to cheer against them. That's not just true of me. How many Hornets or TWolves haters have you seen? If you have any team you dislike it's usually some team that a lot of other people you're around irl or online like.

Last night you claimed you wanted to be a Clips fan (figure you'll deny it or claim you were trolling though). Then you claim to be a neutral in here but everything you've said about the team is clearly ANTI Clipper. Make up your mind bro. I didn't start this thread either. I just don't appreciate you talking sh** to Clipps just because it's a Clippers related thread and you're burned out on them.

Reality here is Clippers talk is crazy because of all the sh** that happened. No different than when Heat formed. Bunch of hype, lots to talk about. If you don't want to read it don't fu**ing open the threads retard. It's really that simple! I don't care if you don't like me but no reason to be a prick to all Clippers fans.

So I get it you don't like me.... but what's your beef with Clipps? Dude rarely posts here and doesn't troll. Reality here is you're salty as fu**. You live in LA and your team is falling apart (likely to take the biggest record drop in the league) while the Clippers are the talk of the country right now. The Clippers were the top trend around the nation last night. If you don't wanna hear about the Clippers move somewhere else fa**ot. Don't open Clippers threads.

IMO, the typical true Clipper fan is very dedicated to the Clippers. Fact: The Clippers hardly ever see anything close to success so when there's any glimps of hope(and in this case, major hope) we get really excited an pumped up and, hate to admit it, we get irrational. In the past when I was a teenager, I was very unrealistic thinking that every year was that year that the Clippers finally turn things around and become relevent. It was rare that I would predict the Clippers wouldn't make the playoffs during off-season/mid-season predictions. Made a fool of myself a few times lol. This time, I won't guarantee anything, but this is finally a good team.

People aren't taking this into perspective. For Clippers fans this is winning the basketball lottery. Of course we are going to go apesh** right now. If your team was the worst in NBA history and all the sudden analysts were saying you could be a home court advantage team in the playoffs after not making it but 6 or 7 times in the franchise history... how would you act?

We've never had anything to this degree happen and it's groundbreaking. Once the Clippers start winning we will get used to it.. and it will be a thing of the past. No reason to get offended by us making a bunch of threads, talking up the team etc. I'd wish the same on any young team who's been down on their luck. I pull for other young teams.

If you see one started by me come in and we can go rounds.. I don't care. Don't throw stones from glass houses though. Reason you don't hear from Nuggets fans here... is because your team is taking a turn for the worst and you all disappeared for the most part.

Have you been on the Clippers board here? Or for that matter any of the team boards? They are all dead. The reason this is a general NBA section... is so that topics can be posted about all teams. For every 3 Clippers threads I post.. I'll post a couple about other things.

Not to mention I post in a variety of topics, not related to the Clippers. I may be a homer but It's better than being a sarcastic, insecure ..di** like yourself. You have yet to debate basketball with me. Rather you make little di** comments towards me because you're an@l about my threads.

Ask this question a few years from now and we'll see. Maybe even 30 games from now. I'm pretty sure Clippersfan86 is like 99% of the reason Clippers get hate around here. He just goes to far. Goes above and beyond homer and than lashes out at your team\player.

Also I think hating on the internet and in real life are two separate things, in sports atleast. People may hate Kobe\L.A on ISH or wherever because of how annoying there fans are .. but doubt in real life when there sitting in a bar talking sports it carries over. Ex for me would be Brandon Roy. Pissed me off how overrated he was on here and would probably come off as a "hater" but in real life talking with buddies would never be like "**** Brandon Roy" and once I log off ISH I couldn't careless.

I may be obsessive.... but homer isn't accurate I don't think. When people are respectful I'm very reasonable. I don't claim the team is good at everything or the best team. I admit the flaws and weaknesses of the team. A homer is somebody blinded to the truth. Nothing I say is lies, just some things are overly optimistic. I said Blake Griffin was going to be an all star in his rookie year and was perceived as a homer.. but then it happened. I think I just have more knowledge than a lot of the people offended by me and it intimidates you guys.

Most of the really good posters here.. I've always gotten along with and haven't had clashes with. Just you middle tier softies and known trolls. Not my fault I spit straight fire.

I'm a known troll now? Listen to yourself. People are intimidated by you on a basketball message board because of your vast knowledge? :oldlol:

Your just way over the top. Your just like a Laker fan or a Kobe fan with Blake difference is they've actually done something. When a Laker fan get's arrogant or a Kobe fans pimps out Kobe .. it's like ok they've won tons of rings, Kobe's dominated. Whatever. Hearing that Blake Griffin surpassing Tim Duncan as the GOAT PF if he wins rings or something like that .. after he's coming off his rookie season and winning 32 games is just like wtf.

I'm almost positive you said Blake Griffin if he stays healthy is a lock for the HOF. That could be very well true .. but after 1 season? It's ridiculous.

I'm a known troll now? Listen to yourself. People are intimidated by you on a basketball message board because of your vast knowledge? :oldlol:

Your just way over the top. Your just like a Laker fan or a Kobe fan with Blake difference is they've actually done something. When a Laker fan get's arrogant or a Kobe fans pimps out Kobe .. it's like ok they've won tons of rings, Kobe's dominated. Whatever. Hearing that Blake Griffin surpassing Tim Duncan as the GOAT PF if he wins rings or something like that .. after he's coming off his rookie season and winning 32 games is just like wtf.

I'm almost positive you said Blake Griffin if he stays healthy is a lock for the HOF. That could be very well true .. but after 1 season? It's ridiculous.

You're not a troll. You're just negative poster and a skeptic dude. You're the same guy who basically implied Griffin isn't going to improve much and that his stats will remain where they are at pretty much but get a little more efficient. So if Blake Griffin stays healthy it's unreasonable to call him a lock for the HOF? You've got guys like Shaq and Barkley calling him a sure fire hall of famer but I can't? If you can't see greatness in a player, that's not my problem.

I see the greatness in Griffin as a fan and MANY other posters here that don't even follow the Clippers have commented that Griffin has that greatness.. that "it" factor. Just because you want to remain skeptical and patient doesn't mean it's ridiculous to say he's a HOF lock IF he stays healthy. Griffin could literally drop to 20 and 10 for the rest of his career and make the hall of fame first ballot. He's ALREADY a hall of fame TALENT.

Maybe I'm way too excitable.... or I jump the gun... but when you call somebody a troll or homer... it's usually different than how I'm acting.

I don't need to convince anyone, his play does the talking.

CP3 is a Clipper now. Even if he was being a douche about the whole trade thing... he's a part of the Clipper family now. You expect me to not like him now that he's wearing the uniform?

Hardly negative or skeptic. I'd say realistic, well thought out. I never once said Blake would NEVER improve or it'd be impossible for him to see a statistical spike. I said it's a possibility. I said it was possible Eric Gordon breaks out more and Blake remains in the same statistical area while the Clippers as a WHOLE improve. Now with Chris Paul? Think that changes abit. Gordon has potential to be an elite scorer, Chris Paul is an elite playmaker. Clippers are probably going to need Blake to develop into that 25 a game guy now. Where as before I thought Gordon breaking out and staying healthy for a full 82 with Blake .. you'd want him to focus on the little things and defense rather than getting 27 a game to win games.

That's it. Blake is going to be an amazing player. Already one. Just don't think you can ANNOINT anybody a "lock" for the HOF after 1 season of play. Durant and Rose are guy's who are like what? The same age as Blake and already have way better resume's? .. atleast wait until he makes an All-NBA team before you call him a virtual lock for the Hall of Fame.

Saying Blake was easily the better offensive player than rookie Duncan makes you a homer. Saying you think Blake was better, alright. Your opinion. Thinking that's it's pretty much a fact = extreme ... My personal opinion of a homer = extreme opinions.

You to me have extreme, over the top predictions for the Clippers witch and I view that as wearing blue and red colored glasses. Never said you were a troll. I'd probably be doing the same thing if I was a Clippers fan. Originally just stated your probably leave a sour taste in people's mouth about the Clippers, no not because your "vast intimidating knowledge" but because of your over the top attitude towards the Clips.

You obviously thought I was serious about "my vast knowledge intimidating posters" or w/e. I was messing around. I understand you don't like all the talk/hype from me but the fact that you can even admit if you were a Clippers fan you'd probably be going pretty crazy at least proves there is a reason to my madness. I only post Clippers topics I think people will like/want to hear.

Such as new Griffin mixes (80 percent of fans consider him most exciting in game and most people love it) or updates on recent events/discussions from other threads. It's not like I literally post every single Clipper topic here. What I personally don't like is that we can have 10 Lakers or Heat threads on the first page and very few people complain... but any time you have 3 or 4 Clippers threads a handful of people cry about it.

Not a single one of my Clippers predictions that are huge has been proven wrong. Nothing I've jumped the gun on predictions wise... has been proven wrong. Last year.. I said Griffin would be an all star (around November on other forums) and got trolled like hell. Then guess what? He makes the all star team.

This year I'm guaranteeing playoffs.... and Griffin to be a top 3 PF. Guess what though? Many people predict those things or at least think them in the back of their mind. These things are more likely than unlikely. Vegas currently has the Clippers with the freaking 5th or 6th best odds to win the championship!

No, I have been a Mavs aficionado since 94 when I was 12 years old but I have always liked the Clippers having grown up in LA since they got little exposure and did not have obnoxious, irritating fickle fans like the Lakers had. I enjoyed going to the games because it was a pleasant atmosphere without idiotic lakers fans. The Clippers just were always a shitty or middling team at best. That's all.

Caught the white text but either way when I say realistic or well thought out, doesn't mean it can't be extremely wrong. Just rather from my opinions based on that. I understand emotion takes over some times, heck I have a f*cking dog named Iverson because of the Nugs\Philly trade. Just that it's over the top.

Saying Blake Griffin is lock for the HOF after 1 season ... is over the top. Anyway you want to slice it. That's about it Clippersfan86. Agree to disagree.

I'd say in general I can have an abrasive personality a lot of times. I don't hold back and I speak my mind and it offends many. I'm one of those people that either people love or hate.. nothing in between obviously. You're actually one of the few fans on here I've had battles with but we usually come to a reasonable standstill on the discussions.

I don't consider you a troll.... I just think you shouldn't be so quick to label people man. It's sports. We all celebrate and debate differently. I'm somebody who likes to make guarantees and talk trash. I also have no problem making bold, crazy predictions. For me it's a more rewarding way of being a sports fan. When I am right it's MUCH more vindicating than the whole wait and see approach.

I've watched thousands of players come into this league. The greatness I see in Blake Griffin is only in a handful of them. He has that "It" factor all the greats had. In a few years if we are having these talks you aren't going to think I'm as crazy. For now we'll just have to agree to disagree. :cheers:

Seasons Played in the NBA:

Rose: 3
Durant: 4
Griffin: 1

Out of those 3 players, BG has easily had the most impressive rookie season. Wait until Blake makes an All-NBA team? Rose and Durant didn't make the All-NBA team until their 3rd season. They also didn't make the All-Star team in their rookie seasons. Blake did.

I guess you can say I'm a supporter of the Clippers. I still have a Clippers poster in my old bedroom at my parents' house from when I was in middle school. That was back when it was still disappointing to be an LAC fan.

With all that said, I'm an LA Lakers fan first, so no matter what happens, if the Clippers are facing the Lakers, I'll be rooting for the Lakers.
If the Clippers have a better record than the Lakers and lead the Western Conference, I'll be hoping for LAL to get their shit together and pass the Clips to the top.
If the Clippers... Ah.. You get the point.

This is definitely going to be a fun year to be an LA fan. :)

I'm a supporter, but don't know that I can call myself a fan. The Clippers were my team from the DMiles/QRich era until the 07/08 season. But the post-playoff Dunleavy era was just too goddamn depressing for me to follow, and I was never able to get back into the team.

They have some of the most loyal fans in the league that toughed it out up until this point but I'm not one of them. Those fans deserve a good team, but I'm not convinced that ownership and management deserve shit. That said, like everyone else I'm looking forward to watching this team play.

The only person who compared anything to anything is you. All I said(and I should be the one to know what I said, since I'm the only one who posted it) there was also a lot of hype when Davis was signed, just like now. I also said I wasn't buying into it. If you want to say I compared the teams then to now SOMETHING I NEVER DID, (cuz, just like Lebron fans, y'all act like people have no right to THEIR OWN opinion) that's YOU and ONLY YOU.

Actually there has never been this much hype. EVER. NOT EVEN CLOSE. So you're really reaching. Clippers sold out of season tickets within 30 minutes. all home games sold out within 24 hours. The Clippers have never had this kind of buzz. You can't compare it to Baron Davis coming to LA. Not only that... but the buzz around the team is that they have two superstars that may actually win a ring in a couple years.

With Baron it was nothing like that. Expectations were never this high.

Neutral. Like the players, dislike the owner. The new Clips fans will soon be making us sick.

Part of being a winner if they do.

I'm really happy with the long serving fans..they deserve this. After going to plenty of Clipper fans over the years and knowing alot of them i'm happy for them.

Somewhere between a Clipper supporter and Clipper neutral. But I am a Blake Griffin supporter.

Would you trade Aldridge for Griffin? If they had identical contracts. I ask because of all the debates between Clippers/Blazers fans last year on that and you like Griffin a lot too. Just curious.

I am a Laker fan 1A and a Clipper fan 1B, because I lived in Los Angeles.

I go back to the Clippers back in the 1990's when the Clippers were rocking Ron Harper, Danny Manning, Ken Norman, Charles Smith, Gary Grant, Olden Polyenice, etc etc.

Heck I remember Loy Vaughts rookie year!!

Having that said, I always rooted for the Clipppers to win. Like the OP, there were some exciting times in the past, especially with Miles and Richardson, looked like the sunny days were right around the corner, but then it all disappeared.

Clipper supporter and a Clipper fan here!

Yes I would trade Aldridge for Griffin in a heartbeat. I think that Aldridge and Griffin were pretty equal last year, but Griffin will be the better player because he was still a rookie and at the least should have plenty of room to improve his defense. Aldridge on the other hand is either in his prime or nearing it, so he doesn't have as much potential for further improvement. I think most Blazer fans would agree with me. I remember the debates on here about Griffin and Aldridge, and most of the debates were only possible because they were debating that season, not the future.

:applause: very fair, unbiased post. I agree. When I'm being a bit unreasonable I like to act like Griffin was superior last year but it's definitely fair to say last season they were a wash and on the same tier. I agree though that it seems like Aldridge would be in his prime. He's very polished. I don't know why people think he can jump to being a 25 and 10 player or something.

i think the clippers will be my new "western conference" team lol. i like blake and chris paul a lot. historically i've bandwagoned with the suns and mavs, but the suns suck now so they're no fun. i'll probably root for the mavs and clippers.

Clippers fans are happy they acquired cp3. Now they can win 40+ games with a first rd exit. Nothing my Sixers haven't accomplished. Enjoy

the guy talking about ISH vs reality was right IMO. in real life, I like rooting for the Clippers but here on ISH, guys like Clipperfan make me want to write anti-Clipper posts

I am neutral from a team standpoint, fan stand point I hate all of them saying they are winning a championship. I am thinking they might not get out of the West. Not joking when I say that. The addition of CP3 is nothing great when you have to give up 3 good assets from your team that gave your team 39 points each game, and draft picks.

I live in the Socal area so of course I'd like to see them do well. I've always been a casual fan. I was just raised to hate the Lakers and raised a Celtics fan, but I have no problem with the Clippers. I've always been a Clippers fan so I'd like to see them succeed more and Clippersfan83 talk less.

Probably because he is only 3ppg and 1rpg away from doing so.

Griffin on the other hand should be 25/12 minimum, and has a chance of being 27-30/12-14.

I ****ing hate Donald Sterling. It makes me sick that a piece of shit owner like him has fell into this cash cow of a team.

On the other hand, I really like Blake and CP3... hell I even like Billups and Butler. They are gonna be a damn fun team to watch. Plus it's always fun seeing the Lakers get taken down a notch.

So I guess I'm a supporter, in-spite myself.
