[Mexi]

D-Wade had a sick block on Timmy D a few minutes ago

And Bosh is playing great, I love it

tim pushed off too, had he kept that left arm in wade would have eaten that.. like sent it back to row four or five.

The Clippers' ability to attract FA's takes another hit:

Kim Hughes was in trouble, more trouble than he ever envisioned.

While working as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Clippers seven years ago, Hughes was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

But then Hughes encountered yet another major obstacle.

“I contacted the Clippers about medical coverage and they said the surgery wouldn’t be covered,” Hughes said. “I said, ‘Are you kidding me?’ And they said if they did it for one person, they’d have to do for everybody else.”

SMH You know they would pay for their own players surgeries lol.

 

[Mexi]

it's a business

not all businesses pay for surgeries of their employees
it's unfortunate because Kim Hughes needed a serious surgery. luckily the players paid for it for him

but if they did that, then lets say another coach needed surgery for hammering his finger building his kids tree house. that has nothing to do with the clippers. are they going to pay for his surgery? no. should they? no

business is cold sometimes.

and like .infamous said, they'll pay for the players surgeries. quit reaching DH

this just looks more awful because it's the Clippers and sterling has a history

again, it's unfortunate, but it's business

 

[elcheato]

You're right, it looks awful because of Sterling. When you have a bad reputation, things like this just make it that much worse. If the Clippers were offering someone a contract, and some of team matched it, you're most likely going to that other team.

 

[Mexi]

indiana or milwaukee or utah or charlotte?

clippers are just in a different spot than they have ever been
sure they've re-signed brand and maggette and even signed Baron when his stock was as high as ever

but if im a FA, and i see that front court of Blake and DeAndre, with a stud SG in Gordon, and I would get to live by the beach, i would consider

 

[elcheato]

You might be right on some small market teams but no one likes Sterling.

Cmon, you know Baron went their because he expected Elton to stay, and LA is his hometown and I guess he wanted to be near his grandmother (who just passed away, gotta be hard for him since he is away from LA now, RIP).

There are some attractive things their, but a lot of negatives.

 

[elcheato]

Tyler Hansbrough has 20 points in 5 straight games, monsterrr

 

[RipCity32]

Psycho T doing work lol.

 

[Pugz]

about time he comes around, lol.

 

[RipCity32]

I don't see him being much more than a high-energy player.

 

[Pugz]

i always said he was an upgraded version of jason maxiell. and thats just an effective energy player. you get those every draft.

 

[RipCity32]

i always said he was an upgraded version of jason maxiell. and thats just an effective energy player. you get those every draft.

I agree lol.
I think he needs to be less energetic to go anywhere lol.

 

[Pugz]

then hes just undersized and doesnt have the jumping/athletic ability to be effective lol. but the one good thing he brings is a winning attitude, which you cant teach.

 

[RipCity32]

6'9'' ain't undersized for a PF.
Decent size.

 

[Pugz]

hes doesnt have the jumping ability to bang downlow, or the post moves. and hes probably closer to 6'7

 

[RipCity32]

Meh, he just needs to tone it down cause it annoys me lol.

 

[Pugz]

he really looks like hes lost out there but he knows exactly whats going on. haha. typical white boy in the nba.
