| #1 Posted on 12.7.10 1544.57 Reposted on: 12.7.17 1544.58 | The decision is in and Bill Simmons has decided he will remain a Clippers season ticketholder. He made the announcement on Sportsnation and it did not even take one hour to get an answer.
A great day for Clippers fan. The Clippers is the perfect place for Simmons. Promote this thread! | | Matt Tracker

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. | odessasteps

| #9 Posted on 12.7.10 2114.45 Reposted on: 12.7.17 2114.54 | 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. | Big Bad

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

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