Blake looks pretty good out there ... the Clips look a little shocked to be playing with an unselfish point guard.
Jesucristo, that was brutal. Did anyone else notice how many questions started off with "Is it tough..." We needed a big man and we had to trade someone, but crap on a cracker, I feel sorry for those two guys.
Exactly. I was trying to come up with questions to capture their mood, but you just did it. Did you notice when they moved Travis' mike and he almost seemed like he wanted to hide behind it?
That was the basketball equivalent of eating a fantastic hamburger, then having to watch a video of the cow your hamburger came from being smacked in the head with a pneumatic hammer and slaughtered. I liked both guys, and I kinda wish we could have scammed Camby for cash and draft picks...
I think that's pretty much how every "So you've just been traded to the Clippers" press conference goes. Still, it's a lot more painful when it happens to players you've been cheering for for years. Even if you haven't really been cheering that loudly for those particular players (as I haven't). Reminds me of this photo: It's striking because Telfair has one of those ultra-charismatic shit-eating grins most of the time. If you look closely at this shot, you can almost see him dieing inside. He's holding that jersey like it's a turd. Blake and Outlaw have my condolences. I wish I could say they deserve better than this but... Well, even they don't deserve this. They were kind of mediocre players, and I'm glad they are off my team. But I don't wish the Clippers on them.
I have so much respect for Clippers fans, because... well, they're Clippers fans. Thick and thin. Rain or... shat.
At least Telfair had Dodge behind him. Dodge has now been replaced by Kia, which is pretty much a perfect sponsor for the Clips. barfo
and five dimes ... he's kind of been a mixed bag out there, but considering that he doesn't know any of their plays and has been thrust into their starting lineup after landing on the ground today ... I've been watching and he hasn't been as bad as you characterize him, two of those shots were bailouts at the end of the clock.
