    Everybody keeps saying it will take kd 2 years to he back from the surgery, hopefully it's the same with boogie and we strike something good here. I think he is washed though, I knew it the first game he played when he came back

    If Boogie looks anything like he did before he tore his quad, that's the steal of free agency.

    Was hoping the for Goran Dragic if they whiffed on Kawhi, but like what they've done. Looking solid at every position except PG.

    Exactly.
    I love the Logo and Kawhi now too.
    The best respect you can give to your friendly rival is to go at him with everything you got. Total war.
    Kawhi is a fucking snake like Jerry, Kobe and Magic.
    I love it.
    Unfortunately for the landlocked lakers the father of snakes isnt retired on some appalachian holler but is living large on his microsoft moneyed high seas clipper yacht playing his redneck fiddle leading the baby snakes past the purple and gold lakes and into the red white and blue sea.

    I don't see it as marketing. I don't think a lot of the inner city kids want to play the game. Better opportunities in football and basketball.

    College baseball scholarships, unlike football and hoops are scarce. Very, very few full rides in baseball.

    Offensively his skills are all there and his game is not based on being bouncy like an Amare.
    He is still as is a premiere center who can play old fashioned in the low post or run and around in the perimeter shooting 3's as well as being a great passer who can make plays in the mid range and high post.

    Defensively he has lost lateral quickness and agility to keep up with small forwards or guards on switches. He will improve some by next year but as he ages that may be a moot issue anyway because not every star center can be as mobile as a SF like the current lot.

    Before he was a great PF that could do SF things and C things. An almost unicorn type.
    Now he is a great C that can do some PF things well because he will still rebound at a high rate and get you a block or two a game just from skill and instincts.

    Thats what the minor leagues are for.
    College baseball is more like a vocational college for white people who want to work as carnies on the baseball circuit.

    Pretty good on offense still, good at finding the open man, his jumper is improving late in his career.
    One trick pony on defense. The pony has left the stable.

    Goran has lost that old white boy hustle defense he used to have to old age or Riles practices.
    Then again I think that Hassan Whiteside is going to magically learn how to play defense again once he leaves Riley.

    Before Logo, After Logo.
    Clippers history has restarted.
    These are not your fathers stodgy old Clippers trying to be hip and young by trying to be 'urban'. That organization is dead.
    These are the new Clippers finally growing into their own chill yacht rock party identity.

    Its kind of a Jordan/Pippen bulls team of the best 2-way players in the game + better role players, a more understanding coach, and the best front office man in history funded by the richest owner in sports.
    This is not a bunch of stiff white guy shooters or hacker type role players, ego driven system coach, most hated front office man by agents and the teams own players, and the most niggardly of owners in the sport like with the Bulls.
    The Clippers are trying to build a bigger and badder 90's Bulls team.

    Lakers are bringing back Showtime to match them.

    using your parlance
    you can have no tan without black
    ebon is to obsidian what tan is to black
    black and tan... recruits during the war of independence
    mostly brits though
    the northies still under the brits
    we southerners have independence
    independence to our own wellspring
    not bushmills swill
    tullamore or jameson
    agave kills the soul
    unless you have none
