Los Angeles Clippers

clips wont headline til griffin comes back and the team is at 500 with a chance to make the playoffs

Mr. Bailey,

I feel compelled to speak out against the obvious bias The Daily Breeze displays toward the Lakers. I am a die hard Clippers fan and I am extremely offended by this.... Read More

What do I mean by a bias? Example, Saturday morning's Sports section devoted equal billing to the Lakers who did not even play last night minimizing the Clippers victory over the Denver Nuggets.

What does it mean to be a true, die hard fan? Jump on the band wagon when the team is soaring high with numerous championships under their belt? No Mr. Bailey, a true fan supports their team through thick and thin. I know, I am originally from Chicago where we had two baseball teams. The Chicago papers gave equal billing to both the Cubs and the White Sox despite the sensational rivalry that existed and continues to exist in the city. Los Angeles has two basketball teams, this is not merely a Laker town.

How many Laker fans are going to support their beloved team should they start losing games and fail to make it to the play offs?

It is short sighted and stupid to give the Lakers top billing whether they play, win or loose. There are just as many Clipper fans out there who purchase and subscribe newspapers. You are deliberately ignoring them Mr. Bailey. In a poor economy when many newspapers are struggling to survive, that is clearly a stupid move on your part.

kristine take it easy if the person is lakers fan you cant take it away from him just like here in bako they head line the clips even they lost so i think thats the way it is

thats really low...

did you forget how he didn't call a play the ENTIRE 4th quarter until he made baron davis shoot it? I love BD, but he had 0 points for the first half and just wasn't hitting shots all game. And what was up with butler taking 4 shots beyond the arc in a row? He missed 3 of them and hit the 4th.

thanks eddie,should really be so-dumb leavy.. anyways,he just really got lucky tonight indeed.this game was for us no matter how bad dummy coached it again.

i agree it puts an agressive man and a finess player in the post, camby's out after this yr we should be trying to develope dj's offensive game and def, yeah he gotta work on them free throws but he would give us that starting spark

exactly or at least get as much playing time as the guy. Jordan does energize the bench though... either way he's exciting and brings a spark to the team. But Dumbleavy always takes him out if he makes a mistake...how else is he suppose to learn???

dummy really lacks the motivation factor from the bench..a so-so coach who can't make proper adjustments on crucial situations.

I agree. The half-court play of the clippers especially in the 4th quarter was terrible, and there were lot of airballs. When the 2nd unit played fast they went 19-0, when the first unit played half-court, Nuggets were able to make a run. Thus, poor coaching in offense and defense for the Clippers.

i agree as well.the clips needs to run and should play deandre more than marcus.clips should make the game faster and should concentrate plays for gordon, butler and davis.kaman thornton jordan and griffin should just compliment the guards play.gordon and davis should be their go to guy and not kaman come crunchtime

the piece they are missing is eric gordon

its complete when they are running the game(fast brake) not like last time we were so slow on low post,(dunleavys boy KAman no 25 pts but we win wow) we can use these to lure the opponent for open jumper(3)but not all the time again simple basketball no 25 point for kaman wow again and thats the lawlers law...lollll ohhhhhh about the commentator ... Read Moreinside the court i think its the black guy when telfeir side pass on KAMAN and he lost it commentator said telfair cant just pass the ball to KAMAN like that he got to let him know wow, i play basket ball on the park and play with people that i dont know but i always expect any pass or trick pass wow .. i wonder why imnot on NBA i think i should not expect any pass to any one i play with may be i made it to NBA ....lollllllll

thorton ricky and skinner

eddie add 2 guys on that KAMAN & camby, so trade thorton cross leg,slow double jump no defense KAMAN.old slow camby these are the guys you want to trade.. what do you think we have DJ, BG two big guys
