Why do we Clipper fans always get the shaft?

[jgustav1]

We need some change in the front office. I've even thought this to myself, until we get a new owner the these kinds of things with our players leaving us will keep happening. I hope our front office changes it's culture or else we will just keep loosing while seeing winning once every now and then.

I wouldn't hold my breath for changes in the Clipper front office until Sterling leaves. What other franchise retains their front office after getting results like 12-70 or 17-65 (multiple times)?

Yeah, I think most people have been pretty understanding but I think Clipper fans are going to hold a grudge against Brand for not sticking to his word after saying so many things that just seemed so selfless and altruistic. I would've been less pissed if he had just said "I want to go to another team" and just went to Philly. I still would've been a Brand fan. Not anymore.

I totally get that Guyver. I hate that you guys have to go through this year after year

its the owner all he wants to do is save money and not win championships.... I hope we do sign Okafor he's pretty much a younger brand.

I agree. It still would have sucked but it would have been respectable.

It's easy to say that when you're not a Clippers fan. Trust me, I'd say 99% of us hate Brand's guts now.

Who the HELL is the 1% who doesn't wanna take a pair of garden shears to his precious Achilles???

But Guyv, you said it. Had the player come out and said straight up that he was fair game to the highest bidder and then bolted, we wouldn't have a reason to be all that upset. But he played this whole "I'm returning to LA for a pay cut and the opportunity to play with Baron Davis" thing until the bitter end. Damn you, Brand, damn you....

J.A. Adande on Elton and the Clips

Pretty much sums it up...

[GuyverX]

Reading that makes me sad. It's true. It's all true. Elton Brand is an NBA player. NBA players are greedy. The Clippers are....the Clippers.

I can't wait to see what Plaschke's gonna be writing in the paper...

For once, I think I'm going to be enjoying Bill Plaschke's article.
