A great day for Clippers fan. The Clippers is the perfect place for Simmons.| Promote this thread! |           | Matt Tracker

He's probably too frugal to buy Lakers tickets, so it makes sense to keep his Clippers tickets.

a day after the world cup final, Simmons is back to mocking Soccer.
I guess the 4 Letter's microchip had an expiration date.

He didn't lose too much steam the year the Clips made the conference semis. If anything, it actually challenged him to take a different angle on the Clips. And as a writer, he'd probably thrive on the challenge.

If he has lower-level seats near center court, it looks like around $6000 a ticket.
In the past, Simmons has said he went in with another person.
So, if he gets half the tickets and there are two seats, it would be $6 grand or so.
A superficial google search did not reveal commensurate Lakers tickets, since they appear to be sold out.

The odds of this were pretty long even before they hired Del Negro to coach. Simmons will be writing anti-Clippers columns for years to come. | hansen9j

It is the policy of the documentary crew to remain true observers and not interfere with its subjects.

But the Clipper-centric tweets have been GOLD!

Weren't people saying that Shaq and Lebron together were a lock for a title? Nothing is guaranteed.
