jordans journal, about baron.

"
If he gets drafted here I'm pretty sure we're going to have a dunk-off: me, Blake and Mike Taylor. Oh! I have something to say: Baron Davis, point guard of the Los Angeles Clippers, did a windmill dunk yesterday during his workout. He did it in front of a lot people, including the coaching staff, and we were all in shock. I just want to put it out there on the internet that Baron Davis did a windmill dunk on Tuesday. I'm still in shock. I just need to take a moment... "

BARON IS DUNKING.

How much does the rampant clipper hate irritate you?

J.A. Adande: Bill Simmons has Clippers seasons...do you really think he'd be rooting against the Celtics if they played the Clips in the Finals?

J.A. Adande: Gotta stay true to your original team.

J.A. Adande: BTW, Wilbon and I had this argument last night: he thinks Tiger is crazy to be living in Orlando and not Cali. I told him as much as I love LA, I wouldn't pay the extra millions in state tax it would cost me to live here instead of Florida if I were making Tiger's loot.

Kevin (charlotte: Did you just put "Clippers" and "Finals" in the same sentence? I know it was only hypothetical, but I think that is even taking it too far.

J.A. Adande: Okay, give me a hypothetical slap in the head for even conjuring up that thought

So I'm reading a random JA Adande chat, and some random guy in charlotte puts that up. I mean, the guy lives where the bobcats play. Why the diss? Seriously.

I live real near where the warriors fans, and at least we have for the most part some camraderie as being franchises with a bad history. But why is it so popular to hate on the clips? I mean the grizzlies, or bobcats are just as terrible.

I for one cannot wait until 2012 when kobe is older and worse, while gasol, bynum and possibly odom are suffocating the laker cap space but they are a mediocre team, and the clippers are riding a core of ej , bg, and dj , and who collectively will still be 23 each , marching the clips into deep playoff runs.

Will it be distrubing to you seeing clipper flags on cars, after the bandwagoners switch wagons?

lamar candy man

lamar candy man

sadly i'm a huge lamar odom fan. and i wish we had kept him instead of Felton. And it kills me he's on the lakers.

pretty hillarious video. to go back to the lamar days, with dmiles and lamar standing on the scorers table. we had so much hope back then. I'm hoping blake is similar, but maybe I just liked those old clipper teams goofiness (even though they were not very good)

Seriously I am scared we may draft Thabeet.

He is in LA for I'm assuming workouts. If he plays anything like "the dream" then ok we can draft him. I suppose they have to at least take a look, I hope rubio is at that same workout. Obviously he is not in LA for the wizards or kings. I can see it now, mike dunleavy falling in love with his potential as a defender and talking about how he will help in case of injuries.

NOOOOOOOOO!

I love how marcus camby is actually hanging out with deandre and eric. At least those 2 have of...

At least those 2 have of all people marcus mentoring them.

Seems zach's father was seriously ill?

I guess it makes it less bad. I mean, we were going to get killed anyway right so I suppose if you were in zach's shoes its not entirely not understandable.

Now we just need some sort of explanation as to why baron sucks so bad. Oh wait heart failure. Or heart nonexistance. And ass bruises. Can dunleavy trade baron's heart for kevin garnetts? We can throw in 3 years 1st round picks?

As for zach's isnt a bad player personally. At least his father somewhat explains the suspension.

just got back from the warriors game.

hans007 — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 04:57:25 -0000

Well I just got back from the warriors - clippers game. Sat in the 21st row so I had a pretty good view of a not very pretty game.

Very disappointed baron didn't even bother showing up. My friend who is a pretty die hard warriors fan, laughed when they sang the national anthem and we had 8 guys standing.

That said here are some observations of mine:

1. though both monta ellis and eric gordon are listed at 6'3" eric is taller. His arms are so big, they are probably as thick as monta ellis' legs. IF monta ellis is worth 11 mil a year , eric is probably worth 20 (then again monta isnt). His shot is also beautiful.

2. Deandre jordan actually had a couple hook shots and even tried to do an up and under move (he missed that). He I think maybe just needs to get used to being well IN the game and an offensive threat. He might be really good someday, the guy is huge and manhandled biedrins. Also I think the more he progresses the more we can afford to trade kaman. If anyone will take him that is.

3. Al Thornton really doesn't have a high basketball Iq. He's also definitely a chucker. the guy just forces shots up and even fouled a guy on a clear path foul. That said he has a ridiculous first step (he had stephen jackson on him most of the game so it's not like wally sczerbiak was on him). At one point inthe game the arena started playing that "jaws movie" shark attack sound, and I swore that as the music sped up Al thought that was the shot clock and just threw up a brick.

4. Jason hart is awful. That guy is not an nba point guard. On to of that his shot is terrible looking. He doesn't really square up at all. Its not quite shawn marion bad, but its pretty ugly.

5. I can understand why they waived paul davis and picked up samb. I suppose if you are going to gamble on a project you might as well gamble on a guy who is athletic. Samb is really athletic and seems to move well and he can sometimes hit a 15 footer. He is also really really really skinny. Like livingston skinny.

6. There is something wrong with ricky davis. He seems rushed.

7. Novak is a really really good shooter. I'd say he's very jason kapono like but without the 5 million a year contract. Very good pickup by dunleavy.

8. I think marcus williams has given up. He spent most of halftime talking to jason hart (they are both from LA was my theory) and I'm assuming didn't expect to play until it was garbage time. He seems like he has a "half court basketball" type game, and it would not shock me if he went to dunleavy after the game and begged him to trade for him.

marcus camby is great

marcus camby is great

Marcus camby ! I love this guy, he's a great role model for our team.

clearly, even the simpsons can make fun of the clippers.

Rodney rogers... what a sad turn of events. I still remember one of the first clipper games I went to when I was probably 12 years old, I saw rodney throw down a 360 dunk against utah in a rare win.

This was back in the terry dehere, loy vaught days. I hope he makes some sort of recovery, its just sad reading about it when things like this happen.
