We're warriors, man," Baron Davis said at practice Saturday. "We've got a lot of heart. Everybody is down on us right now and counting us out. But the fact of the matter is that a lot of our young guys and our bench has developed."
The Clippers are so injury-ravaged, they really couldn't even have a proper practice Saturday. Davis is hoping he will be ready for Wednesday's game against Chicago.
"It usually takes me five games, playing 20 minutes a game, trying to stretch to 25 minutes to really see what you can and can't do and the things you need to work on," he said.
"We have young guys that would have never got that experience had we not been hurt," Davis said. "Looking forward to next year, when we get everybody on the court, at 100%, then we should be there. They [the fans] have been with the Clippers for 25 years. So they've been with the Clippers through worse times than this.
"People got hope. And that's the difference. I think that's how the curse gets lifted. The fans we have truly believe we've turned the corner."
