We have a new basketball team in Los Angeles. They go by the name “The Clippers” and I don’t recall ever hearing about them before. Now they are in the playoffs and have tied up the series at 3-3.
I’m pretty sure I would have known about this team if the LA Kobes’ weren’t here but that’s the way it’s been for the last several years. Maybe they came from the east with a name like Clippers. Or maybe they all used to be barbers.
Whatever the deal is we are glad to have a team that actually plays like a team and not a superstar and friends.
The Phoenix Suns remind me of the old Pepperdine(or was it Loyola) team that used the theory that you didn’t need defense if you could outscore your opponent. I guess that works if your opponent is in worse shape than you but these Clippers seem to have some young guys who can run with the best.
I always liked the Suns but I didn’t grow up in Phoenix so I will cheer for this new team from LA.
GO CLIPPERS!
May curses be heaped upon your Los Angelino head, and may your Clippers expire like the pretenders they most surely are.

Well…being a CA & LA native you sure caught me off guard! I’ve never heard of the Clippers! Go Clippers!

Did someone say something about some unknowns coming to Phoenix? They must have got lost in Dateland, or maybe made a right turn and ended up lost in Mexico. I didn’t see anyone special tonight from out of town.
