First, I admit I'm not a big supporter of Chris, though I've seen tremendous growth, I really don't see the future of the franchise in his style of play. I think what we have is a very trade-able commodity, that could be packaged with other assets to get us something special. For some reason (absence of Yao), I keep thinking the Rockets are calling, but I don't like any of their assets at first glance, so I see them as a partner in something bigger, but what I don't know. I am grateful that Chris is such a good guy (I mean that seriously) that he allowed Osheay to show case his talents prior to the trade deadline. I'm wondering if anyone was watching and if so who??

The real gauge of how well the Clippers have done this post season is ticket sales. I don't think they have published any numbers, so I'm asking my fellow "Citizens" what they think:

Have the number of Clippers of season ticket holders, increased, decreased or remained constant?

My personal feeling is after last season and the current off season, ticket sales have decreased and are currently FLAT. With the talk of the future it feels like we are looking at another sub-500, lottery type year. Why did I renew for this tortured existence?
