To all Al Thornton apologists...do you believe in Rasual Butler now?!????

I get it now. Rasual Butler is exactly who TIm Thomas was supposed to be. The Kaman/Camby/Butler/Gordon/Davis lineup was what took control of the game in the 3rd quarter and I think that might be the Clippers opening night roster.

I'm still lacking cable TV. I doubt anyone would re-air it online. ._.

Everyone on the Warriors board is pissed at Mike & Ralph for their worship of BG. :lol: Some even saying they're worse than the Lakers announcers. Now, that's just ridiculous.

But this game has been dreadful to listen to IMO.


Our guys obviously want the Clippers to win like any announce team should want, but they are going to call the game how it is played out. They try their best to remain unbiased, while keeping the fans tuned in. If we're sucking, they're going to acknowledge it and not just blame the refs (if it's truly not the refs' fault :wink:). We've had a lot of sucky sub-par teams over the years, so non-Clipper fans that drop in and catch a game are going to notice that it's not all just homer homer homer.

Yes, they are excited about Griffin and they should be. When you have a guy that plays hard every possession on the Clippers of all teams, you appreciate it. We've had so many players that were slackers or just didn't get it. He gets it and his work ethic is already rubbing off on the whole team. There is excitement in the air, and for good reason.

The best lineup the Clipps could put out on the court is: Boom/EG/Rasual/Griffin/Camby or Kaman

Period, end of story.

This was the first time I watched Griffin play. I have to say, his impact was far greater than the box score shows. His activity wore out the entire warrior team and disrupted their defense, opening things up for the other guys like Butler. Clippers have 2 studs in the front court in Griffin and Jordan.

This is coming from the fans that worship and act like Anthony Randolph is a god. I wouldn't worry about what they have to think. There's a reason why the general board makes fun of GSW fans.

Seemed like a good win, and nice game outta Griffin.

Judging by what you guys have said about Thornton. hopefully he can improve out there

I'm really worried about Al now. He is not getting better. In fact he's gotten worse. At least he didn't pout last night when butler started the 2nd half.

I think it's clear the team plays better with butler starting. Hopefully Al can become instant offense with the 2nd unit. His defense was horrible though.

I was disappointed in Al's effort last night. Besides that I like what I saw.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

He's just inconsistent. Did you guys already forget the good game he had in Portland..?

Inconsistent shooting I can deal with. His defense is horrible. Morrow and aza killed him. For a lottery pick I expect a lot more from him. Right now id take either Morrow or aza over Al and they were both undrafted. Good thing GM dunleavy stole butler from NO.
The team just picked up Al's 4th year option so glad to see the staff still wants him. Just play good D and rebound and ill be happy with Al. He doesn't need to score with this roster.

Return to Los Angeles Clippers
