Whatever Brand and Magette say in the press with regards to why they left the woeful Clippers, one has to believe they were tired of playing for one of the worst pro sports franchises in the history of sports. This blog is a commendation to their judgement and I wish them well. Any place is better than the LA Sports Arena headed by a brain trust of morons.
One really has to wonder how Elgin Baylor has held on to his job for so long. You have to believe he has some incriminating pictures of Donald Sterling or something. Is Sterling in love with the hall of famer? Yeah, Baylor was a fabulous player in his time and deserves much props, but as a GM he is the worst ever.
Why the hell did Sterling give Dunleavy an extension?!! A totally idiotic move that he regrets. Dunleavy is a good coach. However, he was not deserving of the kind of extension that Sterling offered up and he was not the reason for the Clippers turnaround. That prize goes to one Sam Cassell.
Maybe the Baron will come to Clippers still. I doubt it. Can't blame him for wanting to come home. Now, what the hell is he coming home to? Perennial losers?
Brand and Magette both deserve more than the Clippers. I hear Cleveland is hot on Magette. At least he would be in the playoffs every year. Brand may never see the playoffs again in Philly, still he is better off away from the Clippers dysfunctional organizaion.
My God ... now I have to hear about how great the LAKERS are now for who knows how long. I long for the days when they were a miserable bunch of whiners who couldn't shoot straight led by the prima donna. Wasn't that just last year? Now, it's the Lakers vs Celtics in the NBA finals already and Kobe for league MVP! Enough! Kobe never gets MVP because he's just Dominique on a better team with a great coach. Look at most of your past MVPs and you will see they dominated in more than one category. Iverson was a league leading scorer and among the leaders in steals. Duncan was among scoring and rebound leaders. Ditto for Shaq. Kobe scores like many scorers before him. LeBron James, however, appears regularly among the scoring and assist leaders and is a true triple threat. If the MVP does not got to Kevin Garnett, it should go to LeBron. (I'm not a Kobe hater, but he has a long way to go to win me back as a fan.)
