Camby: "We f**kin suck!"

Apparently, after the game ended, Camby said those words, slammed the ball on the court, and walked to the locker room.

I share his frustation, it must be tough to play your heart out, dive for loose balls, etc. only to see some other guys on the team (mainly Baron) not give it their all. And finding new ways to lose doesn't help.

I've been saying those words for awhile now.

He's right. Camby deserves better at the end of his career. He should be on a winner.

Its a tough situation because Camby is maybe the only guy who is doing all he can to win here. He does deserve to be on a winner....next season

We all feel for him. This team has been really pathetic, and only a few players have given all their effort. If a trade is happening that involves him, then I actually do trust Dunleavy to make a good move. He's brought talent to the team, but things just aren't shaping up as planned. That Z-Bo trade was great, as was the trade to bring Camby in. The only bad trade I can think of was Hart for Knight.

With all these injuries it'll be interesting to see what happens.

I really feel for Camby. I agree that he does deserve better. People can criticize him all they want and complain about him not being as good as his numbers look, but the fact of the matter is that Camby brings it every night. He's a great defensive player and does a lot of the little things that matter most.

It just sucks that this team as a whole has not been able to match his effort.

Has to be all the more frustrating that the Nuggets are having one of their best seasons at the moment.

Seriously? Camby is actually giving it his all every game?

Last year in Denver, after back to backs he was pretty much worthless effort wise. He would take games off, and the last quarter of the season, he seemed to be hurting the team more than helping. One reason why Denver fans were happy to get rid of him, he wasn't giving it his all or at times his half.

So.. Karma now I guess, LOL.

if we can trade BD for a 2nd round pick id be happy
If we get a 1st round pick we will be considered thieves.

Camby hustles more than anybody on the team. It's like a throwback to his Knick days. Seriously, Clipper fans are elated that he brings light to this dreadful season.

Guess getting traded lit a fire under him then. The most hustling we saw out of him last year was when he was stealing rebound from team mates. He'd even knock them down. :lol:

Dunleavy dismissed the latest trade rumor out of New York, which had the Clippers sending Camby to the Knicks.

"I'm looking to trade 20-rebound guys every day," Dunleavy said sarcastically. "I liked Marcus before we got him. I love him even more now."

Like Camby we have all been frustrated with how this season has turned out. We don't really suck, we just have a lot of new players and many injuries.

Karma is you trying to get on Camby, only to have Carmelo get injured 2 days later.

Remember when he actually injured Greg Buckner on a dunk once...and then stood over him for a couple seconds like he was taunting him....then just walked away. Kind of **** up to see someone do that to an opponent, let alone a teammate.

He was a selfish little bitch his last couple years in Denver, so I guess he is getting what he wanted....a chance to be "the man" on a team(at least recently, with everyone injured in LA), and he is losing because of it.

Don't worry lads, here comes Hassan Adams!!!

Surely he will spear head the 22 game winning streak.

PerkinsFor3 · Post #18 » by **PerkinsFor3** » Wed Jan 7, 2009 10:18 pm

Thornton is just going through the motions. He won't ever be much of a difference maker. I see him as a Josh Howard with less upside. And I'm not a huge fan of Josh either.

BDavis is just sulking and not giving 75% even.

Zach was doing great, but it was just him being him in a good system for Zach.

Camby is trying to do so much. People will hate on him for not holding the opposing teams under 100 points and 43% fg every night but he's been in two situations now (Den and LAC) where he's been the only good defender under the boards and where he has been playing with matador defenders at the perimeter.

I'll have to show some nuance right there, since my favorite Clipper Gordon has been great. He tries to help as much as he can, and he's going to amount to qquite something. He's rock steady, strong, relentless and smart. He's a great guy and him and Camby are the main reasons the Clippers can keep up with teams through 3 quarters.

I wouldnt mind a trade at all but I don't want to see Camby, Gordon and Jordan go. The rest I don't mind. I was in favor of sending Kaman and Thornton to NJ for Carter (and I was hoping we couldve gotten Lopez along with Vince during the summer, but looking at how they play it won't swing that way).

Darn, we had it all figured out too.

Cavs fan here don't mean to troll however I would love to have Camby. Isn't he a free agent at the end of this year
