Pretty funny, Clippers suits threatened to kick us out for yelling ‘Fire Dunleavy’ all through the game. Told us at the end of the game, if we did next game they’d kick us out first yell. Hilarious.

You should have been kicked out for being stupid. Look at what he has done this offseason. When he has a heathy squad he does great things for this team. If you dont want to support the “team”, then stay home. You think anyone is going to listen to you and fire the coach? You ruin it for everyone there.
The game has changed dramatically in the last 6 years and Dunleavy has completely failed to adjust. With the exception of the Spurs (who have one of the greatest coaches and players of all time), grind-it-out half-court teams are not winning championships. We all know that 05-06 run can be attributed to Cassell so Dunleavy gets little credit there. The Clippers were dead last in second half scoring margin and second to last in 4th quarter scoring margin last year, and that tells you all you need to know about Dunleavy’s terrible coaching. He may have the most brilliant and complex playbook in the league, but he simply cannot make the necessary in-game adjustments.
Watch some of the games. If you were watching last night instead of chanting, you would have seen a team that was running, that had lots of motion in its offense and was playing inspired basketball. It was pretty clear that Dunleavy has adjusted to the players he has on this team… In the past he had power post players and ran an offense accordingly. It wasn’t his fault that the last two years were marred by injury.
When you’re chanting “Fire Dunleavy” while the team holds a 19-point lead, you look like a moron.
FD.com GTFO with that chant. Seriously you were killing the mood. We were winning and you four were spewing negative energy like idiots.
We get it, you want Dunleavy fired. That’s great. Many other fans do too. However, there are appropriate times to chant (i.e. when the team is losing, bad plays are being called or bad substitutions), but when they are winning?
You think you light a fire? I can only say I hope you were drunk, because if you’re that stupid without drinking, there isn’t much hope for you… You guys made asses of yourselves.
I am pleased with the effort and the consistency on defense. Rasual Butler has a sweet 15 foot jumper which was on display tonight. He scored well with the second unit.
May I dare say that a Kaman 2.0 sighting was on tonight? He was precise with his moves and was sinking in 10,12,15 foot shots. Nice looking shots. LA had a fast break every other or every couple of positions, thanks to team defense and individual efforts.
Portland looked healthy and played all of their main guys. Great game and I hope this continues into the regular season.
I think last night did a lot in showing us what kind of team this will be. Every player, and it started with BD, was hounding on defense and constantly looking to create turnovers to get out and run. I know it’s preseason but it was refreshing. You can’t fake effort and defense is all about effort. Strong ball denials, tips, decisive traps on PGs from pick rolls, etc.
AT: either he knows his jobs on the line or he’s finally getting it. Defensively he played the best game I’ve seen him play in a while.
Half court offensive: this will be a work in progress. Didn’t look sharp or particularly clever. Looks like this team will rely on defense and getting out on the break.
Firedumleavy: I think it’s BS they threatened to bounce you guys. Fans can’t be vocal? What a damn joke. We can’t get ppl in seats after the AS break and we are gonna kick out ppl who care about the team and go to games ? Real smart. Also, once you guys got the players attention it was truly hilarious. WE WANT RICKY. They loved it.

Well, thanks for letting us know you’re one of the morons who was yelling when the score was 2-0.
Congrats. Tonight you and your three pals achieved new levels of stupidity.
I look forward to watching them throw you out on your sorry butts in the next game.

Big Sofo played against the Spurs last night. He started the game and led his team with 16 points (6/6 ft 5/10 fg) but also had just 2 boards. You can see him score with a nice lefty hook here:
