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."

who is he to praise the team like that?

That is a strange paragraph quote.
Is he using some unusual logic to say that being warriors means giving the young guys a lot of playing time and development opportunities by staying out for lengthy injury periods?
He gets it, I guess. I can't say that I do.
That's not actually my idea of a warrior.

One part made me laugh, while the other, made me smile.

And by saying the team is warriors, I think he is referring to how they are giving it all they have out there, doing the opposite of him. Regardless, yes, dude is banged up and could return right now, but we have nothing left to fight for really, its not like we were a franchise that had a ton of pride. If we could just get everyone healthy, allow them to start clicking and make sure they all are put on some kind of diet this summer to improve health, topping it off with a top 7 pick, next year, we will make some noise.

lol he said they're warriors cause warriors are clipper's next opponent

^ In which case, it would make even less sense.

Baron, you are not "warriors" you are Clippers!!!
