Hi guys

Raptor fan here who is a fan of Kawhi but admit had some dislike for guys like Beverely and Morris, but slowly turning around after the grit you have shown during these playoffs. I was wondering if you guys are arrogant this year in regards to winning the whole championship or beating the Suns or Jazz.

I remember during our run the Bucks fan were very arrogant and it was annoying to watch, luckily we won so I was wondering are Clipper fans arrogant this year or trying to be humble

Humble atleast for me. Jazz are no joke, if we somehow make it past the Jazz with out Kawhi the Suns will be no joke. I'm just happy they team is staying alive, really enjoy this team this year.

Lol no. This team has forever screwed up every big moment in franchise history.

Haven't been as excited about a game like tonight since CPs game winner vs SA. Before that, was probably beating Denver in rd 1 back in 05 or whatever it was.

Hyped, yes. Arrogant, hell no.

I am going to be ABSOLUTELY OBNOXIOUS if the Clippers make it to the Western Conference Finals for the first-time ever!

My OBNOXIOUSNESS will be ABSOLUTE :thumbsup:

I'm just enjoying the moment now. With Leonard out I have no expectations of the team. I am really enjoying seeing George play so well. Looking forward to seeing him in a Clippers uniform for the next few seasons. Also, probably my favorite player on the team right now is Mann. I just really like seeing the energy he brings to the team. He is a lot of fun to watch.

Ya, I was dead wrong on Mann. Kid is good.

I feel like Clipper fans can't be arrogant considering the history of the team- all of the accumulated disappointments.

I just really want them to get the WCF for once. If they can get there, I think they would be slight underdogs against a full strength Suns team if Kawhi is out, but they would definitely have a decent chance.

I just want them to advance first- please no disappointments on Friday.

After 20 years of seats and four more after, having seen all that… humble
The Clipper fan understands the Book of Exodus better than anyone... what it's like to struggle 40 years in the wilderness... and Genesis.. why Cain went after Abel... So fLakers, look out... we're coming.

Got to beat the Jazz on Friday first. I'm not saying sh*t until that is accomplished

No reason to be arrogant. We had this chance last year up 3-1. Nothing is guaranteed.

Right now, dream Finals matchup would Atlanta.

After 2 blown 3-1 leads (in epic fashion) and no CF appearances ever, we are not arrogant at all.

Not even close.
Not humble either.

Our fans deserve it.

We don’t have Kawhi so it’s little chance we win it all. We want a conference finals at minimum

It's impossible for any real, longtime Clipper fan to ever be arrogant about our team. We have way too much PTSD for that. :lol:

I was 100% arrogant about beating Dallas, even after going down 0-2 and again 2-3. In fact, I bet my friend $100 they would backdoor sweep Dallas, with a push if Clips won the series (dang it Bobby!).

Utah was the team I feared the most, and if we can get past them, I think we beat Phoenix, whether they have CP and we don't have Kawhi or not. I can't see us, however, beating Brooklyn in the finals, while having a legit shot against Milwakuee if we can just build a wall on Yannis and close out on Middleton. I'd be confident versus Philly because, well, Doc knows how to lose and against Atlanta, though, the Trae factor is yuge.

I don't like this thread. Sounds like loaded question BS. Are we arrogant or humble?

Sounds like the same line of questioning were you happy when stopped beating your wife?

What kinda bs question is this?

I'm sorry for coming off abrasive but the question should be rephrased.
