Like the homeless and the day old bagels, I dig

Just cuz I ain't sayin nothin don't mean I'm not up on the sitch. for the first time in my hawaiian life post EB Maggs phat contracts, I have fox sports west 2, er, prime ticket, and I've watched some or most or all or a tidbit of just about every game. I'm soaking in it, loving it, hating it, crying & laughing & living with it. My 3 year old daughter knows who Blake Griffin is. She likes to mess with me & say she likes the lakers. My 4 year old is diehard clippers, she'll never revolt, praise allah.

first off, this may be my favorite clippers team EVER. even including those classic Lamond Murray Loy Vaught squads (did they play together?) I kid, I kid. I mean even more than the EB Cassell Maggs Shaun Livington Daniel Ewing playing D on Raja Bell playoff year. (THE GOLDEN CHALICE OF CLIPPER BASKETBALL) one could argue the playoff squad from Buffalo from the dark ages, but I wasn't there. or the squad that lost three straight in the first round to Utah in 96 (ok, that's a joke)

ANYWAY. I'm watching. intently. absorbing. and I have A LOT to say about it. just not right this second. stay tuned personnel of the dog named clipper legionnaires. yes this is the oldest clipper blog ever. gratzi in advance for your support.

not promising anything, but I'll try & start in earnest on Monday after taking in the hawks & heat roadies. I'd delve into the chicago homestand last night, but, sigh, don't want to start on that. too depressing. Chicago a good, good team though, can't take nothin from em. I prefer to live in the fantasyland of the 9 game winning streak (home) that was zonked.

Yikes

OK, I know it’s his first preseason game, but this doesn’t sound good:

Clippers rookie Al-Farouq Aminu fouled out in 17 minutes, scoring 1 point, turning the ball over 4 times, going 0 for 3 from the field, grabbing 0 rebounds and dishing out 0 assists. His night was spent one of two ways: 1) drawing player control fouls 2) floating around on the perimeter. You've heard of the "deer in the headlights" look? This was more like a "I'm standing underneath the meteor that created the Grand Canyon and both my legs are broken and uh oh it's about to hit me oowwwwwwww" look. Off the top of my head I can't think of another player who had his combination of physical potential and complete mental unpreparedness during the last four seasons. I felt genuine empathy for him. It can only get better.

Hope so.

RIP ex-clipper Lorenzen Wright

For real.

ok, on with new business.

Clip a day or your money back. Y hoy: Baron Davis. I’m assuming, since I haven’t seen any “Baron’s fat again” articles, that boom is still cut and splashed (copyright). That being the case I’m good with that at the one, as long as kid (man) isn’t jacking threes at every chance in the nation (toss it to EJ more often). Pound the ball down to Kaman, catch Griffin cutting, posting, I dunno, ok I’m making this up as I go. Eff clip a day, I gotta get more meta on this cut. Correct me if I’m wrong, grandma, but right now the clips roster is looking as such:

1) Baron Davis
2) Eric Gordon (why is his nickname EJ? Haven’t figured this out yet.)
3) Butler (?) – like that he resigned. Nothing to write home about, but he’s solid defender, decent shooter, will give the rook (faqui-aminu sp?) a chance to work off the bench.
4) Griffin
5) Kaman

Not bad, not bad at all. I need to marinate on this, check that it’s even correct, and then get back at you (grandma). Thanks.

Keith is back with a brand new invention (ie more of the same old crap-ola)

With the return (a la Vanilla Ice, ie he’s back, um, you were never here?) of Blake Griffin to the Clipper on-the-court squad, and yes, I think that was the very first mention of Blake Griffin on this blog (yeah, I’m back, & I was actually here, er, well, in this nodule of the negasphere) and yes, my first acknowledgment of the saving son is to compare him to Vanilla Ice. I = evil.

Hmmm, that wasn’t really a sentence, was it? With the return of Blake Griffin, you have to think that this season could actually be interesting. And that ain’t the only reason. More to come (probably, or not, I’m still considering, ie one foot’s in the pool and I’m playing coy with that water, like, well, seriously? Seriously. Maybe.)

Rick Brunson, Gangsta Pat, other relevant topics

Grecian urn time, folks. That last post (see ultrabs, well, actually, here too, wow, that’s a sad set of exigency) was vague even by my standards, but yet a thing of beauty in mine own eyes (ie for mine eyes only, post script) that I’ll stand by until the end of things, cuz, well, actually, nah, I dunno, throw me in an expiring contract and I’ll prolly let it go for like Rick Brunson or some shit, btw, where is his ghost, I need to find it, I think he’s doing the bathroom attendant thing with Russell White’s business manager. Keep an eye and mos def cop their upcoming album “Washing Dishes” executive produced by Gangsta Pat.

Postscript to a cross-referenced post script: Rick Brunson is actually the director of basketball operations at University of Virginia. Good on ya buddy. Understand I only kid those I love, well, appreciate, at least. And thanks for not signing my hat that my wife ran down in Oakland that one night, ie the greatest game played in your professional career, because, well, I still have and wear that hat, and it would be kind of ridiculous if it had a Rick Brunson signature on it. No representation, lack or abundance thereof, reflected in your skill set.

This must win some kind of award for most useless information ever. Thank you, Zimbabwe. If I had a bowl of soup, I’d be/am cry(ing) in it. I’m ashamed to be associated with myself, er, this apparition, um, reflection of myself. Except when shame is equal to irrevocably misappropriated and likely insane pride. Logic is the friend of the weak-minded who can’t discover corners around paradoxes (paradoxi?) okey doke.

Hmmm, in clipper side now, didn’t predict that. Love the trades today, Dunnybrook, have to admit I was pissed when you pissed away Camby for Blake & Outlaw, but love how you shoehorned Thornton and Bassy into that Wiz Cavs trade. Now stay in the front office and never come out. Gratzi.

I dunno, (denver fan who shall not be named) was repping the nugs back when the clips pwned(!) them back in 05 (a series I still relive daily)

and he was repping nougat with keith (NOT moi) WAY back in 96 going to stan sheriff to watch shaq & co. romp on they silly asses (dear readers: in Honolulu, preseason, I was there, and he pointed at Jerry Buss and said "are you gonna pay me now????")

btw eff the lakes, er, ok, shit, i dunno, crazily, i was rooting for denver on this one... that hallway rivalry iz a beyatch (rivalry? more like bastard stepchild hatred toward the favored sons)... how can you not love a team owned by someone as lovable as donald Tokowitz Sterling silver, the NAACP loves him! (& his scrilla)

but elway gets the gasface all places all times all scenarios, from el segundo to aloha stadium....

blake griffin for president, someone find some garlic & a stake for dunleavy's bitch ass, assalamalakum, feed your head....

Ok, I know your hillbilly-ass never claimed the Nuggets very hard.

You weren't quite man enough to claim such a crappy team (clippers/Whaler).

But none the less, the fact that John Elway showed up at a game and is now hanging his bitch-ass-losing-superbowl-record-(2-5)-head MAKES ME HAPPY.

LAKERS ALL THE WAY BABY.

Don't hate the player, just the game......

elgin baylor RIP

eff the lakes, all the way strait to hell... ok, not to hell, purgatory? but the lakes should be good this year... clips? get on board the mystery wagon, who the eff knows... and BD won't need surgery, thank allah, and camby should be healthy too, should be an interesting year, and as for EB, i'm reminded of a certain NWA skit with benedict arnold getting a haircut and an unforeseen encounter with a household appliance… or was that ren's romantic paramour... irregardless.... & just sayin…note: yes, I am directly contradicting my post below in which I try but cannot hate he #42 who must not be named. But elts let a short bald man full of hate emasculate the golden state, and for that a retroactive justice based hate must rate. btw if my credentials ring untrue to you simply check the files, no beyonce, to the right, globbin clipper claptrap since dub trey.... salud, selah, donald sterling, I hate you, I love you, let's make a movie together, how's your mother, etcetera acres, gratzi...oh and yes, you heard, or not, the door is shut on the shaun Livingston in clipperville era, sad state of affairs, but he’s at least another year away from actually doing shite, so, uh, get all Cuban over there kid, best of luck to ya, no broom closet for you, best wishes and caviar dishes…
