Clippas have a good season once in awhile, than it's back to losing.
Maybe they're really a jinxed franchise?
[QUOTE]The Clippers are [B]capable[/B] of being [B]title contenders[/B]. They just have [B]no heart[/B], [B]energy[/B] or [B]effort[/B] and they are [B]poorly coached.[/B][/QUOTE]
Explain me how they are title contenders, yet lack all the values a title contending team requires.:confusedshrug:
dunlevy is below .500 as a coach, he is a good skills coach thats why when he goes to a crappy team they improve, but, only to the next level he is not the type of coach who can take the team to that next level by himself...
his best years were with the lakers coaching a team that had 10 years under it's belt as a championship team and in portland where despite his coaching choices like leaving jermane oneal on the bench (avg. 11 minutes a game over 4 years) they did ok...
[QUOTE=BlackVVaves]Explain me how they are title contenders, yet lack all the values a title contending team requires.:confusedshrug:[/QUOTE]
I agree black. Clippas fans can say their team is a title contender and not be ridcule? The Lakers have a better record, but when their fans talk title contender, they get jumped on. It just doesn't make sense.
The Clippas should just worry about making the playoffs, before thinking long shot of titles..
[QUOTE=BlackVVaves]Explain me how they are title contenders, yet lack all the values a title contending team requires.:confusedshrug:[/QUOTE]
After watching the way the Clippers played last year, why the hell would I think in the off-season the Clippers would play with no heart, energy and effort. Last year, those were the 3 things the Clippers were all about. Did I expect them to be the exact opposite? no. In the off-season, I expected a lot more. When a team that has been improving for 3 straight seasons and finally made some noise last year, why would I think they would suck this year? It's called a pre-season prediction, and I admit it, I was wrong.
You have to give Clipps a lot of credit. Go on with your bad self bro. Hang in there.
Clippas sucks!
clips drop their 5th in a row....
How is Tim Thomas doing?
:pimp:
several points
1) its still early, clippers have time to turn it around!
2) stop matching up to teams, make the match up to you!
3) they do sound like the Bucks from several years ago from making the ECFs to not making the playoffs at all!
and also Tim Thomas was on the Buck team! ouch!
1 for 6 out of their last 7 games. Losing 5 games in a row.
Yep.
They suck!
[QUOTE=DoubleTech]how much pricier was radmanovic? should have kept him around.[/QUOTE]
hes getting payed the same amount as TT.
But Radman is finally coming along for the lakers so hopefully we keep him.
finally all this confusion and arguments is put to rest. its LAL's town once again and will always be.
damn i feared this team last year:oldlol:

LETS talk about our team.. We are on the verge a make a big

a winning attitude, good coaching, and loyal knowledgeable fans.
WE are the team of the real LA.:banana: :pimp:

:roll: :roll: :roll:
I dont wanna start talkin sh!t cuz its early but so far its true. I mean they just cant get rid of their past. They're so talented and are a VERY deep team but something haunts them. I think they need a change in venue or something. I dont know, maybe they'll still turn it around but I would hope not.

:eek:
[QUOTE=LakersDynasty]:eek:[/QUOTE]
:eek: is right.
Clippers are a jinxed franchise. Letting V-Rad go was a mistake. V-Rad personally won many games for the Clippers last year, making those 3s. Tim Thomas is a joke! Isn't Tim Thomas injured again?
:oldlol:
[QUOTE]Sarcasm kid ;). As far as Maggette and Odom go, they are dead even, but I give Maggs the slight advantage due to the fact of his consistent visit to the freethrow line[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Are you guys crazy? Lamar better than Magette, Lamar how long have you all been Clipper Fans? I waited and waited and waited for Lamar to reach his Potential, he has declined in Production but Magette has done nothing but improve. One other thing watch Lamar this year, he will go back in his shell, just like when he had his previous personal problems. He could'nt even play in the FIBA Games. Favr's father passed away and he played that day, Tiger's dad passed away and look at what he is doing and I myself suffered the worst lost ever felt when my father passed away and I was a real young man but I showed up to work the very next day. Excuses are acceptable to under achievers. Mark my words he will clam-up this year like he always has in the past. He can not handle pressure, look what happened everytime he had the ball in a critical situation when he was a Clipper-turnover. I was so disapointed when we traded Miles instead of Lamar, I wanted him gone so badly[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Knowledge of the game is what long time Clip fans are known for and us Clip fans want our forum to be about the Clips and the game. Name calling (calling people stupid and idiot) is not helping any Faker fans the case for why outside of their favorite player #8, the Fakers are better[/QUOTE]

The Clippers have more greater-than signs than less-than signs. The Clippers are the better team... again. If the Lakers are the better team, that makes them an elite. The Lakers are not an elite.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Right, Maggette > Odom, not Maggette = Odom. Thanks for the correction. Talking about slow guards, isn't your rookie a slow guard from College? How bout one of the slowest and dumbest big men in the league in Kwame Brown?[/QUOTE]

Another clipper groupie who's Missing In Action....
[QUOTE]Such an easy question. Have you heard of tanking games? The clippers tanked so many games during the last few weeks of the season. They had the opportunity to do so, so they did, can't blame them for wanting denver.
So in simple terms for you lakers fans. The clippers had a playoff birth way before the lakers did and sat out key guys for rest.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]And tell me who's proven on the Lakers besides Kobe.
Cassell may the slowest point guard in the league but he's still better than any point guard the Lakers have all together. Just because the Clippers are better than the Lakers doesn't mean we are saying they are the next dsynasty. Why don't you read our posts before putting words in our mouths. What the hell does Odom do that's worth ranking ahead of Corey Maggette. Sure, Odom might be more TALENTED!!!, but Maggette gets the other team in foul trouble, has a better jumpshot(that's sad), and isn't a p*ssy. Odom is overrated.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]The Clippers will be contending with the rest of the leagues elite, Spurs, Mavs, Suns, etc. for the NBA Championship while the Lakers will be fighting for a playoff spot with the Rockets, Grizzlies, Jazz, Hornets, etc.[/QUOTE]

Clippers are not talented. I knew they're a joke of a team. Brand and Magg are the only player I would take on my team. Though, both Brand and Magg are too inconsistent. I wouldn't give them the max...
The Clippers just lost a game where Darrick Martin took ten shots. That pretty much says it all.
The biggest difference between Clipps last year and this is Sam Cassel. Cassel was omnipresent last year. The key to Cassel was actually leadership - which is so overstated in som any players, but in Cassel's case it may actually be true.
You could actually see during a Clips game when the other team went on a run and the kids started ot hang their heads- Cassel would get the ball head up - knees popping and the rest of the team would follow suit.
Even if Liv had that - "Its cool, it ain't over yet" - attitude, the team doesn't respond the same way because he's not the winning vet that Cassel is.
Its possible the Cassel doesn't care as much anymore, is banged up so he cannot be on the court as much, or he's pissed that his role has bee reduced - but that swagger is missing.

Joey sees deep.
That is definently a major factor... plus Sam has slowed down a bit and cant run the pick and roll as well... which basically was our offense.
as much as I hate to admit it the Clippers need Cassell as a starter and healthy. Brand needs the ball alot more. He seems to feed off his shots on the defensive end too.

Exactly, when Sammy starts he gets to choose what shot he wants to take, as opposed to coming off the bench and facing a deficit and needing to take the j's instead of choosing when he wants to shoot.

When I go to Clipper games they still say that during timeouts. "Hey Clipper Fans, this is your chance to get Clipper season tickets to see the best Team in L.A. in action." I guess there's something to it. :confusedshrug:
