    I was just talking to my friend who was at the Dodger game last night, he said when they announced the final score for the Clipper game everyone cheered.

    The Dodger crowd has booed Paul twice when he attended games. Not surprising. I felt bad for him in a way as he was with his sons. Oh well...

    Saturday's L.A. Times fan letters should be a hoot. Can't wait to read those too. For the record, I am fond of Ralph Lawler but I would like to slap around his partner Mike Smith.

    ^Yes they do. I agree. Shelly Sterling also sat in during Game 6. That franchise have stains that a truckload of Tide can't wash away.

    Ok, that was fantastic, thank you for posting that. That's worthy of saving and bringing up in the future. Clippers "fans" really are like obnoxious kids/teens that wanna talk crap and have no idea how to act like they've been there before (with Marcellus Wiley leading the way). They want to hate on us for having 2 down seasons in a decade, yeah, you've got so much to brag about with your 2nd round exits. Our 2nd round exits in 2011 was a terrible disappointment and disgrace to us, while that's their pinnacle.

    Our last 2 seasons are biding time, saving money for building back up, but Clippers fans are too dumb to recognize that, not realizing we won't be down like this for long. I've even seen Clippers fans continue to cite our regular season record this season vs theirs, as if that matters. What do those wins mean when you've gone fishing now? Oh and I see now why I didn't see this post, it was an Instagram not a tweet, and I don't follow Cube on Instagram.

    About yesterday...Ice Cube sums it up for me.



    Tom Petty [a Laker fan]... This song "The Same Old You" came on my iPod when I went to the gym afterwards and thought of the Clippers:

    Who cares. The clown couldn't figure out that Apple was going to happen with the iPhone and bagged on the concept big time and then got shown the door at Microsoft. Now he pays top dollar.... $2 freaking billion plus for the Clippers and goes into his stupid energy act for the public all over again. And they are STILL the Clippers. LMFAO!

    Doc Rivers is a Clipper coach but he still has that ****** stench all over him. He's disgusting. Glad it bit him in the butt just like the blank banner he hung in that other place he coached at.

    How much did he wind up getting? Rivers paid Hawes $16 mil with the MLE and probably Paul Pierce or Collison would have had FAR more positive impact on these chokers. Good one grand pooh bah coach and GM and President whatever the hell.

    Have to admit I am digging piling on these turkeys for the arrogance that was stated in this epic tweet: They've earned the piling on and after the horrible luck the Lakers have had the past few years starting with the Chris Paul screw job...... it feels good. Eff em!

    When Jordan missed that point blank, uncontested lob for a dunk...I smiled and KNEW it was going to be that kind of a game for them.

    Not even decade Weez. We haven't had two seasons like this in a row EVER. In fact we've only ever had less than 30 wins FOUR times in the history of our franchise and two of those came in Minneapolis before there were 82 games in a season.

    Meanwhile the Clippers have had back-to-back under 30 win seasons SEVEN times (most of which are 3-4 years in a row). In fact they've only been really relevant for 3 years in their franchise history: the last three. Not to early before that was three seasons in a row under 30 wins.

    This franchise is a poison. Their fans are an obnoxious gas that I find completely nauseating starting with Marcellus Wiley who reeks of entitled loser athlete. This franchise needs to move asap to have any success. As long as they're in LA and their name is the Clippers they're going to be losers.

    ^^ This. Ballmer needs to move these guys to Seattle. They'll build him a stadium, he'll be hailed as a hero instead of jeered here in LA as also rans.

    ^Seattle fans have more basketball savvy and knowledge than most Clipper followers. They have a history winning the chip once amidst three Finals appearances. It would be a good fit unless their "curse" follows them there.

    That appears to be the case. Still a great post, and clearly Cube has raised his son right. Like Pau said, when it comes to Clippers fans in LA, it's on the parents to prevent that.
