Not sure why the Clips hired Del Negro, he was awful in Chicago and has literally no coaching experience outside of that failed stint.

I really don't know what to expect from this team anymore. I just know we need wins. Based on how we play I don't see any game being easy from here on out. Mo won't be playing today and I still wonder why Vinny is the coach. Since he wasn't fired after losing to the Hornets we may just keep him for the rest of the season :(

I'm sure that's what many Clipper fans think about.

because DTS likes potential new employees who wear designer suits and brings flashcards to his job interview.

I dont think firing him would be a good idea this far into the season. Who would take over? I would think it would be a great idea as long as Pack could take over but I dont think management has considered him taking over.

He was "presidential" in his interview. It didn't hurt that the first year of his contract was going to be paid by the Bulls. Dwayne Casey (the assumed favorite at the time) shared the same agent as our GM. The Donald preferred Vinny and his situation (cheaper). The majority of us did not want him. After he was hired, we attempted to see if he had improved and were willing to give him a chance. He's blown it and all we want is a legitimate coach that will give this team the best chance of advancing as far as possible.

Nice steal and Jam by Caron. I'm glad Gay didn't go up to contest it.
