Reposted on: 5.2.17 1225.23 | Of course the Clippers organization didn't fire the guy who has been an abysmal coach now for years, he finally decided enough was enough and fell on his own sword Click Here (sports.espn.go.com). Dunleavy will be staying on as GM, but I don't think that's the worst move in the world. He has shown flashes of competence in the front office which is more than a lot of teams have going for them in that spot.

They went with Dunleavy's assistant to replace him, when they probably should've gone with someone brand new that the players werent tired of listening to already. I was rooting for Avery Johnson. | Psycho Penguin

Per Fox Sports (msn.foxsports.com):
According to a source close to the situation, the Clippers have reached out to [Isiah] Thomas -- who coached the Indiana Pacers and also the New York Knicks -- to take over coaching, general manager and president duties.

I wonder what the difference in prices are between lakers and clippers season tickets.
For someone that loves basketball so much, you'd think Simmons would rather see the better team every night. Unless, having clippers tickets is column fodder and he just cant bring himself as a celtics fan to buy lakers tickets. | hansen9j

Some googling says that Lakers have a waiting list (possibly over 1,000), while Clippers allow you to buy right away. | DJ FrostyFreeze

Reposted on: 11.2.17 1349.56 | So...about that coaching change bringing hope...
Warriors 132, Clippers 102
Taking over the offense with leading scorer Monta Ellis sidelined with a knee injury, Curry recorded his first triple-double with a career-high 36 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds as Golden State beat the Los Angeles Clippers 132-102 to snap season-high nine-game losing streak Wednesday night.
Not only could the Clippers not beat a 14-37 Warriors team that didn't have their top two leading scorers, but they got PASTED. Nothing to see here. Same old Clippers team.
Hell, Dunleavy's departure just might have made them WORSE. | SchippeWreck
