Better than Coach Fratello?

I'm not a JJ fan--too bland and clinical. Say what you want about Mike Smith but Jackson is not a Clipper fan. He doesn't care who wins or loses. That's not why I tune in.

I'll even take Corey, although he continues to struggle with the English language. :-(

Don McLean is the best, of course, but Don doesn't like the drudgery. He runs his lucrative pre-NBA draft camp, does the pre- and post-game when he feels like it, and does select Pac-12 games when the travel is minimal.

Don RULES.

Had two double doubles after the game and positive on the floor minutes in the two games prior to the Wizards game. That was the one issue with having a historical game is everything after want be deemed good enough lol. Went this half without a field goal attempt things are greatly changing with guys healthy.

Zu's plus/minus has been REALLY bad lately, as he started playing 30 mpg. But that's OK. Until he can give us 30+ minutes when the matchups are right, he's not a real NBA starter.

I think his legs will come back. Just like MLB starting pitchers go through a "dead arm" period in June or July, I think Zu has some dead legs right now. Zu leads the team in Minutes Played. Total respect.

Up by NINE at the half. Against the Eastern Conference leader. And worrying about the next game bro?

The vulture is hovering. Still sucking the life out of our board.

DON'T enjoy the game.

Leonard’s best game easily. More fluid and active on all levels. Not all there yet but trending in the right direction.

i don't know if kawhi IS back, but you can pretty much guarantee that he FEELS back

Move the ball and get to the rim

This is Kawhi's team. He designed it, starting with the PG trade and probably giving his OK to fire Doc.

Ballmer traded away the franchise's future--Shai and draft picks up the wazoo. This is Kawhi's team. And he knows it.

Hell of a finish to the 3rd. One of the best quarter finishes of the season and without Kawhi and PG in!!

92-74.

Are we having fun yet?

You seem to prefer homerism. I prefer objectivity.

Lol we got away with a backcourt. That seems to be the backbreaker of the night against Boston.

Don’t give them any hope after that run

The talk of Kawhi's demise has been greatly exaggerated...lol

I'll take Don, or Fratello, or even Corey. Robots are boring.

It's not that JJ isn't a homer, it's that he doesn't care either way. This is just a job to him and you can tell. That's not why I tune in. Not why I contribute to this board either. This is supposed to be fun. I like fun.

Our best and BIGGEST game of the year. Feel it!

Objectivity is fun for me.

You just have to agree to disagree with me.

Favorite game of the season and we didn't have Powell and didn't play Roco (Don't know why he doesn't get more play).

Fratello is objective too and so is Don. Corey is not a total homer either.

Not only boring, but he sounds bored. I hear him on non-Clipper national telecasts too. Robot. I DEFINITELY don't want him on OUR telecasts.

Dunno if you ever listen to our radio broadcasts. I'm a connoisseur of radio in particular. Noah Eagle is AWESOME. We will lose him soon. His father is the legendary Ian Eagle. Whom the Clippers tried to get when Ralph retired. ;-)

Noah is even better.
