Well golly the Clippers are serious this year! Chris Paul wants to win now but we’re only a month in? I thought this was the time for Lob City to create their end of season mixtape?
Oh no the Clippers have changed, it’s not just the uniform that has changed, they’re all about getting the job done now. I’m wondering where this was two years ago when I believed in them.
If you haven’t guessed already I don’t like the Clippers, they’re all flash, no substance. Remember that season when they won 17 in a row but still bombed in the Playoffs? That’s when i realised that they’re always and forever will be underwhelming. I will never take them seriously again. But let’s see what CP3 and Blake Griffin has to say.
“We have to be more resilient,” Griffin said. “Teams go on runs. We have to be able to withstand a run and not get down on ourselves.” […] “We need to fight through that barrier,” he said. “I feel like mentally, we’re not as mentally strong as we can be. I feel like sometimes when we’re up and a team’s coming up, there’s some strain on our end. We just need to be mentally strong – a swagger where we’re like ‘We’re still going to win this basketball game.’”
“We have to start winning now, but we’ve got to fix it, because it is not right. It is not fair to our fans, because we know we are better than this. We have never been like this, so we’ve got to fix it.” – Clippers guard Chris Paul
I’m totally immune to these statements. When I read these earlier I simply said “Prove it”. Show me. Quit being flash. You don’t have to stop the flash completely, but have some substance. At least when Golden State show flash they also get the substance in, you don’t have to be a coach to see the clinical plays they make.
They make highlights through great ball movement, the last Clippers highlight I saw? Blake Griffin throwing up a three in mid-air.
