He can score. Needs refinement. As far as Preston goes. He can pass and run an offense. He really needs to shoot the ball and be more aggressive. If he doesn’t he will be the latest Jerome Robinson. A timid player.

Yes, it’s like a relatively small fanatical religious sect. I’m a lifelong NY Yankees fan and more recently a rabid LA Clippers fan. Winningest American sports team and most ridiculed underdog NBA team. Go figure.

Agreed that we all saw what this Team can do when healthy.
Being a sportsfan is not about being entertained or as our modern Bread and Circus.
Rather, it is good to be part of a tribe or community.

We will win and celebrate together, my friends! Keep the faith!

Isn’t being a Clippers fan require a lot of faith?

Until the 2nd half, we completely lost the 50/50 battles.

This season he’s shooting poorly, but it’s not *that* far from his career averages, so this is probably just regression to the mean combined w/ inconsistent minutes and lineups.

I didn’t watch the game but what is everyone impressed by exactly? Sometimes the stats don’t tell the tale I guess because that’s not exactly blowing my socks off

Not a lot of fun, but just before you are about to quit they transform into a freak in the sheets. At least according to a friend who went through this 👀

Wow, JM — didn’t know you were so soulful. Feel free to emote.

So, breaking this sentence down:

  1. The clips FO/staff are super secretive, even to those who love and care deeply about them.
  2. The clips show up full strength one day and then half strength the next — both unexpectedly.

So, what’s a guy to do? Date a gal (find a team) younger, in better health, more open/reliable? Or, live with the vicissitudes of gal no.1, the one you brought to the dance? Right now, after seeing what full strength no.1 can deliver, I’m not straying.
