*Crickets*

Has everyone already moved on to the NFL Draft? All of our teams are gonna suck next year: Chargers will finish at the bottom of the division, the 49ers starting QB hates his head-coach, the Raiders will find a way to go 6-10, and the Rams are about to draft the next Tim Couch -- at least our basketball team is in the post-season.

We're at home & everyone has written us off -- even our own fans judging from the forums and the plummeting ticket prices. It's going to be interesting to see how our guys respond to everyone saying that they can't win without CP3 or Blake being out there to hold their hands.

Didn't DJ spend the whole summer telling everybody he's his own man? We'll if that's true I expect a 20-20 game from him tonight -- that would open things up for guys like Austin and Green. Redick is going to do what he does & Jamal is due for a 35-point kind of night.

Clippers fans have already surrendered & Vegas now has Portland favored by 3 points tonight -- we're good at losing games we're supposed to win, let's see if we can win a game we're supposed to lose.

PATHETIC! Empty arena 15 min before tip off. 100 section tickets only 40 bucks tonight, 10 bucks for 300's and 45 for suite third party. I've never been more ashamed of Clippers fans. If I didn't live 1500 miles away now, I'd be there cheering until I couldn't anymore. So sad.

Tip-Off is also 30 mins earlier tonight than usual.

I know and that does have an effect. But still man this year the fans have been atrocious. At least in the playoffs the previous 3 years the fans brought it and were much better. I feel like it's declining, rather than improving. Games were QUIET as hell in 1 and 2.

That's what happens when you become a bandwagon team. We need to slow it down tonight, Rivers needs to step up and show he belongs, and Crawford is taking 25 shots tonight. The last one isn't what we need, but what I know we'll get. Bad thing is he normally scores over 30 when he gets extra minutes due to an injury.

LMAO arena 20 percent full and just as loud as arena at capacity in games 1 and 2. Diehard fans showed up on time I guess?

LOL at Doc's starting lineup. Same lineup that blew HUGE leads all year like the 24 point one in second half vs GS. Why the hell not try going big against the team that's literally murdered you due to rebounding/easy buckets? How about something like Austin/Redick/Wes/Aldrich/DJ??

I thought any bias by the refs would favor the homecourt team. That was a crap call by the zebras to give the Blazers free throws on the drive in the lane. Apparently, they want to end this series as soon as possible.

THIS team is easy to cheer for. I haven't gotten this loud in a while. I'd take this over lazy, more talented ANY day
