Hey, guess who has a NBA-high 14 consecutive winning seasons, the 4th-longest streak of
all-time??
Guess who is second only to the Warriors in total wins over that span?
That's right, your Los Angeles Chokers, er, Clippers! So let's get excited!!
Yes, it's the dynasty you didn't know existed! And this year, despite such petty trifles as were detailed in the off-season thread, the Clips are loaded and ready to go. Remember, we closed last season on an 18-3 run, and Kawhi says this is the healthiest he's felt starting a season since Trump was President!
Plus we've added…whichever Lopez won the ring in Milwaukee and Bradley Beal, the guy who ended up getting out-gunned by Cancer in that Ball-hog special from a few years back. (Rockets 200, Wizards 199 in OT, or something like that)
and we've brought back Chris Paul, the man who raised us from the hell of loser-dom, lo those many years ago. It's gonna ROCK this season!
To help us celebrate, the NBA has been so kind as to feed us last season's Worst Team in Basketball, the Utah Jazzzzzz, coming off a brain-numbing 17-65 season last year. Woo-hoo! Let's get this party started!!
LAC-108
UTA-129
Don't be deceived by the final score…it was nowhere
near that close. Jazz led by 37 in the 3rd quarter before the Mercy Rule kicked in.
Turns out that having the oldest team in the league take lots of bad 3s while the kids run past them is…not a great game plan.
Kawhi was 3-9, 1-5 from 3 and a
-25 plus/minus.
Only the Clippers…
(I swear, I don't remember
us doing anything like that coming off of a 17-65 season. And, believe me, we had plenty such chances back before we became so awesome…)
