Thanks. I'm assuming they would, but I don't really know. If they don't play on Sunday, they'd be playing Monday night against the Lakers.

Hey congrats Clipper fans and I'm talking to the long suffering true Clipper fans. Your patience has paid off. Your team is going to have an exciting year. Paul and Griffin are going to be a fantastic one-two punch. Plus with Caron Butler on the wing and Jordan underneath, your team is solid and should make the playoffs this season.

Congrats to you Clipper fans. Please try not to become smug, entitled douche bags like your cross town rivals.

Don't know how to embed, but here's CP3 talking to VDN - Crazy how he goes from D. Rose to Chris Paul.

Oh it's gonna be Hollywood 8-)

LOL J/K

There are going to be bandwagoners that may come along and be annoying, but that won't be a true representative of the authentic Clipper fan base. We've battled it out for decades with woeful rosters and most are still here. Some fans joined in the San Diego days, others when the Clippers moved into the Sports Arena. I became a fan during the Danny Manning, Mark Jackson, Ron Harper, Loy Vaught and co. days. Others came in with Miles, Brand and Odom, the 2006 playoff run and probably along with Gordon and Blake. Most that have jumped on a bandwagon of ours in the past have stayed and hoped for a better day to come.

To sum it all up, If you start seeing those traits by a poster pumping this team up, it's probably a newbie that hasn't served time. :wink:

Laker fan here. Congrads guys, a very good pickup.

Vaught from his spot, Kaman with the jumper.... swish! I wonder who is gonna be our baseline jump shot maker now. Blake Griffin of course

Man of all trades. Even 3-pt rainbows like how Lamond Murray used to do for the Clips.
Anyways, I'm sure the Clippers will have sellouts like crazy now. I'll even try to attend as many games as I can. True Clipper fans will welcome new fans with open arms too. They just have to make sure they represent the Clippernation the way that it always has been. Loyal, faithful and not bragging to the whole world about how we can beat all those top teams in the regular season. Celebrating responsibly is how Clipper fans do it :clap:

They haven't really talked much about him, but I would think that he would be there.
