I was never a fan of Walton's hyperbolic buffoonery but he'd be a few big steps up above Bowen's asinine commentary.

If the conversation was interesting or worthwhile, I wouldn't have minded it so much but it was just inane chatter.

oh come on, Walton was so much better than Mike Smith. Bill was beyond entertaining with his hyperboles. 8-)

Outside of having Bowen in his place, I'm not exactly shedding a tear for Smith, but I definitely preferred Smith over Walton. I'd much rather have Hubie Brown, Kevin Loughery, or Rich Marotta providing the color commentary next to Ralph's play-by-play. Even Mike Fratello would be an upgrade.

Yeah I want Big Red back, but you really should have the rest of us know your plan ahead, so we all could have gotten together.

My problem has been lack of planning! Only got around to getting tickets about 3 hours ago

Anyways, just got back from the game, left after the third due to being burnt out from the UCLA game earlier and the fact that it was a blow-out but damn did the Clippers annihilate the Suns. Just watching the game, they slowly kept increasing the lead, didn't go on any major run, which was quite nice to see.

Milos' injury stings, but so far the X-Ray gives slight hope. If he's out for the year, pray it's not true, we better apply for a DPE and use it on a veteran PG (Beno Udrih, Kendall Marshall, Norris Cole, Ty Lawson, Deron Williams or CJ Watson for some names). Either that, or let Evans get the burn. Hopefully, though, it's nothing major.

Blake is having fun, which is great to see. His driving reminds me a lot of Maggette though.


Ballmer put on one of the BEST intro's I have ever witnessed with the laser show and the LED lights. The bracelets lighting up to replicate the flag during the National Anthem was a sight to see.

Yeah, I would be okay with MacLean, but I'm concerned that his dry delivery and lack of humor would be a turn-off.

I've been a fan of signing Kendall Marshall for years now and he was great for us in the summer league, but I want to give Jawun Evans most of the available playing time. The young prospect looks pretty good in the limited action I've seen him. Granted it's against low-level competition but he's shown good instincts and some poise, so his development could benefit greatly from getting NBA experience right away.

I enjoyed watching the win last night. Didn't like seeing Milos get hurt, hope it isn't too serious. I honestly haven't listened to Bowen a lot. I guess I'll just have to get used to him.

I honestly wasn't expecting 2 comfortable wins and 2 dominating games by Blake. I honestly feel like he could have done more if he wanted to.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

MK you are doing an amazing job with these clips. Makes me feel like I was able to watch the game last night. Thank you!

The team is looking good and they haven't even really had enough time to fully jell yet. In 1-2 months they should be even better.

I sure hope Milos is okay. We still need his passing.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D
