Fucking Clippers
Way too busy these days, unfortunately, which means the blog doesn’t get as much attention as I’d like, but I had to pop in real quick to comment on the Clippers season opener tonight.
First off it was nice to see Andre Miller play. The guy was acquired by the Clippers from Cleveland for Darius Miles and tonight the Clippers played their opener against Cleveland. Darius looks great and the fans were REALLY supportive of the guy. He’ll be missed, but Andre Miller is who we needed to get over the hump.
Second, Michael Crozier, my Clippers season ticket mate, got us ninth row seats tonight. Actually his friend Julie gave us the seats (THANKS JULIE!!!!) We’re up in row 1 of the promenade, so we’re nromally on the upper level. Those are $22 seats. But tonight we sat with all the rich folk. So we sat in the $120 seats and this way the players could really hear us when we bitched them out (BTW, Tyrone Hill of the Cleveland Cav’s is one ugly mofo!).
Third, as usual, lots of stars in attendance. I saw that Malcom in the Middle guy, Penny Marshall, Billy Crystal, Randy Pfund (ex-Lakers coach), Jim Hill (CBS 2 Sports Guy) was walking around, Elliot Gould (who every time I look at him he’s eating and looks unhappy), some former baseball player whose name I forget, director James Brooks and a few others. The only regulars out of that group are Malcom and Penny Marshall. Gould will show up at 10 games maybe. The others are pretty sporadic. Crystal used to go much more often.
Finally, and most disappointingly, there’s no chance of a Clippers perfect season. They lost to the Cavs tonight 96-94. Fuckers. BUT, there are some new members to the Clippers Spirit squad whom I very much am in love.
