I actually kinda feel sorry for the Los Angeles Clippers

Remember when I wrote a few weeks ago that, "No one wants to be a Clipper. Not really good players." Well, yesterday confirmed it. Welcome back to the show LA. The Nightmare before, after, and during every basketball season you've played for practically every year of your sad existence. The sad sack franchise that shares the same building as the Lakers (Staples Center for them, Staple your hope to the ground for the Clips), is once again on the wrong end of the NBA's free agency flurry. Elton Brand, the heart, the soul, well, I might as well just put it out there, "the one player who for seven years enjoyed being a Clipper," finally smelled the coffee, and didn't let the moldy old door, with the bullet shots in it, hit him on his way out. The term, off to greener pastures gets thrown around a lot in sports, but for this time I can't blame Elton. Nope. I feel a little sorry for the sinking ship that is the Clippers. They whisked away Baron Davis from their Bay Area nemisis and appeared to be in great shape. Brand had opted out of his contract with the intentions to sign a longer one, and he wanted to be part of the Clippers consistent push to be post-season factors. Well, like they say in Forest Gump, "s@$& happens." Actually, Clippers happens. Over and over and over again. Like a really bad horror movie, you have to laugh from crying. Its the gift that keeps on haunting. Believe it or not there are die hard Clips fans out there, though it's hard to be sure why. Maybe it's like rooting for the Zune over the iPod. Ya know, try to do something different instead of being like everyone else. The iPod has 90% of their market covered, while the Zune is fighting for the leftover ten. The Lakers have history, championships, hall of famers, legendary teams, great rivalries, and the best player in the game. The Clippers have… um, well I"m not sure where I was going with that. LA has a second rate tag and a history of belly aching basketball, enough to make any sympathetic sports enthusiast cringe. Read the Rest Here!
