He didn't look like a NBA player for a quarter and a half. Then the 2nd half he looks like a guy that can become something in a year or two. He's definitely getting a roster spot or the last two-way slot we have open. Gotta give Jordan Miller some minutes with the main guys in the first half next game. He's got some serious potential in my book. Kawhi is whatever at this point. The thing I hate is that with PG gone and the 213 era is over with, there's no need for the "double speak-question mark" statements from Lawrence Frank and the coaching staff regarding his injury status. Who cares at this point.

Ballmer has built the crown Jewel of the NBA folks. :ohlawd: They're saying The Wall is genius and will be a problem for opposing teams. I'm going to Thursday's game against the Kings to see it in person. Can't wait. Clippers with their very own f*cking arena. Who would have thought :mjcry:

KPJ is going to be the real deal. I guess Norm starts for now, but in the end it should be KPJ. DJJ is continuing where he left if last year. Kai is the future. Get him on the roster right now, however possible, and have his therapist on deck so there's no hickups. Coffey looks better than Mann. Miller needs the real NBA contract while Kobe should be on the two-way deal. Harden & Zu will either be on or off just like last season. I like Dunn off the bench.

This team is basically going to swarm and harass the sh*t out of teams defensively for 48 minutes which is going to be awesome to watch. Pushing the pace on offense, athletes flying around, dunks & lobs galore.. Are we back?? Is this the new Clipper basketball :blessed:

I've liked what I've seen from Kai after a rough start. We saw what Harden and Capela did together and I think Kai could recreate some of that. Think teams ceiling is probably a four or five seed but at what cost? Floor is missing playoffs completely.

Most excited I've been for a season in a while just based off the fact that this is the first step towards whatever is next. Sure we have some vets but the young guys are going to have to get a chance at some point (right??) Also I always prefer to root for teams that are scrappy and play defense. Lue said he wanted them to be a top 5 defense.

I think as of right now Lue's got the proper mix of young and old. Kai, Jordan Miller, and KPJ instantly are the best of the youth. Problem is Miller is on a two-way and Kai technically isn't signed yet. Both need regular NBA deals. I guess Bones will get spot minutes here and there but he hasn't improved. Not sure why he didn't hit the weight room and bulk up a bit in the offseason if he's serious about his career :hhh: I don't think Kobe Brown is it. They got to get Kai on the roster first and foremost. Lawrence Frank could f*ck around and another team poaches him from the Clipps. :unimpressed:





-on another note, PG already injured in Philly. Yikes! :lupe:

Magic Johnson holds the NBA record for highest career winning percentage with 74%. This Clipper team so far has a winning percentage of 75%. Adam Silver's gonna have to break us up for basketball reasons :banderas:

Team still needs some kind of a consolidation trade. I think Bones, PJ, and maybe Coffey? I don't think we're getting anything from Bones we wouldn't from Miller and Powell.

:hubie: I'm going to leave this alone.
They look…faster
Probably helps Kawhi isn't playing. :francis:
