Anyone else hopes this team gets destroyed to see what kind of wacky shenanigans Sterling comes up with next?

It will be interesting to see how the players respond to the owner. This is the first time I've heard anything like this come from Sterling addressing the players.

Now that Donald T. Sterling has neutered his coach and destroyed his team, I wonder what he expects of this game, or any of the coming games?

Team morale must be at an all-time low after DTS ruined it. That said, if EJ and Z-Bo come back, it won't matter cause we're good enough to beat em.

We might as well just continue to tank for Harden, Jennings or Thabeet. Thanks to good 'ol Mr. Sterling. :falloff:

I think the game against Memphis was a good indication of what we can expect from this team from now on. That was the first game after DTS's tirade...I don't see why things would be better for this game. I think EJ will be back for this one, though.

Yeah I was about to mention that. The comments were after the SAS game. We already saw a glimpse as to how the players reacted during the Memphis game a couple days ago. Expect much more of it.. This season is probably going to end much uglier than what we usually see. :/

Perhaps we'll have another active off-season.

What if another active offseason turns out to be a complete waste like this season?

I'm sure it would be, but Dunleavy has to save his butt somehow right?

I don't think so. He could probably literally sleep through games and spend the off-season hiking in Wales out of contact with the rest of the world, and as long as he has to get paid through the rest of his contract extension, his job will be perfectly safe. :roll:

Every night Gordon isn't on the floor, I hope the team tanks. When EJ is healthy and active, I wish that he and the Clips can learn how to win games. I hope DJ can get some burn these last twenty games, too.

He can't salvage what's been done at this point. Once you lose control of something big, it's hard to regain back that control factor.

From the Pacers board, wish you the best of luck tonight guys.

How much floor time is Gordon expected to get tonight? I believe he's probable for the game?

Kaman is ready to go and should be available in the next game.

Thanks and good luck to you too.

Gordon and Randolph will both be back in the lineup tonight but Camby and Baron are out. Dunleavy seems to limit guys to 20-25 mins after coming back from injury. With Davis out there will be 35 more minutes to go around.

JJ LoDuca · Post #16 » by **JJ LoDuca** » Sun Mar 8, 2009 3:23 am

Z-Bo and EJ are a go for this game, according to Ralph.

Post #17 » by **mkwest** » Sun Mar 8, 2009 3:32 am

Clips will be going small to start the game.

1-Man Press, EJ, Freddy, Juice & DJ to start it off.

PlinkingPanda · Post #18 » by **PlinkingPanda** » Sun Mar 8, 2009 3:45 am

No Baron? :O

Post #19 » by **mkwest** » Sun Mar 8, 2009 3:45 am

Back to back bingos and a fast break slam from Gordon! He leads the Pacers 8-5.
