We have to continue to play well, esp. Kawhi and James. We need them to boost their trade value.

If they continue on this upward path, then it is up to Steve Ballmer and his Front Office to make the necessary rebuild trades. We have to restock and let the young guys get their seasoning.

If the Clippers do not take advantage, we’re going to be mediocre or irrelevant for the next 5 years.

I’m going to reactive my Fan Duel account today and hopefully, enjoy watching games.

Not to piss on the parade, but… Frank’s totally going to overreact to a few wins in the dog days of a lost season and sink us even deeper with more trades for old fossils, isn’t he. I wish I had any faith in this organization to act rationally, but I don’t.

I’m going to the game tonight. Those injuries will make it very weird. If LAC loses – quite depressing. If they win – plenty of time to have lots of convo with other nearby fans!

How much of this turnaround, if any, has to do with the CP3 decision? Zu’s injury?

Injury rept: Keyonte and Lauri out–that’s very big for us.

Revenge, it has been said, is a dish best served cold, meaning it’s more satisfying and effective when delivered calmly and strategically after time has passed. I don’t think the guys will forget. The Jazz have a lot of talent but it’s time, agian, to make another team feel sad. Happy NY clip fans.

The first game of this cursed season was the Clippers shattering our expectations by getting blown out by a better than expected Jazz. Hopefully the Clips remember that and get some revenge tonight.

Also Happy 2026 all! Hope this year is better than last year’s dumpster fire of a year.

I remember when everybody was questioning both Kawai and Harden’s capacity to take it into the paint and attack the rim. I think that’s a whole new conversation now. They’re older and injuries are kind of likely but it’s astounding how fast both of them look right now. The other most under reported detail is how much harden is locking down on defense now. it’s incredible. I’ve always believed that intelligent guys who are good athletes on offense could be capable defensive players if they put their mind to it. We’re seeing this from Harden right now. We probably can’t dig ourselves completely out of this hole, but it’s a lot of fun at the moment. Clippers by 30.
