Clippers vs San Antonio December 11th Game! Observations!!!

[greens]

Hey, guys, I just came back from the game. Glad that Spurs won, of course. Not surprised at all, lol. Um, I think the Spurs players were in their top shapes. Everyone played very well. Manu, Tony, Tim, and Brent especially did an amazing job. The Clippers just gave up pretty early in the game.

Anyway, I saw Eva seating behind the Spurs bench as to be expected. And it's funny because there was this one crazy Clipper fan who kept shouting FUNNY stuff at the Spurs bench...LOL. First when Tony was at the free throw line, the crazy fan shouted "Tony, Eva don't love you! Eva don't love you!" LOL...Then later when Manu was at the free throw line, he shouted "Manu! Manu, Elson likes your girl!!!" LOL....And it's funny cuz Elson was seating at the bench cracking up...and so was Robert Horry!!!

Then later on, the crazy fan was shouting to Eva, "Eva Longoria, I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!" She was laughing and even got up to wave at him! Funny stuff. Then when Tim was shooting his free throws, he was like, "TIMYYYYY! TIMMYY!" ...Um and later on he was like, "EVA, who wears the pants! YOU OR TONY!"...Then whenever Bruce was walking by, he was like, "BRUUUUCE! BRUUUUCE!"...nice stuff. Um, I rather found him very amusing.

Anyway, I quite enjoyed that as the Spurs players did too. They were laughing, especially Elson! There was a trivia question about Manu...A fan was asked as to who won the Eurolegue, Olympic medal, and the NBA championship...She got that right, Manu, of course.

Then during the break, a guy actually MADE a shot from HALF court! AMAZING...they kept replaying it over and over. He won a good amount of money.

When they were doing the starting line ups, I thought it was funny how Tim and Beno always playfully shove each other. That happened last time when I saw them play, too. And as they were introduced, Bruce and Tony always jump up to bump their chests, and then Bruce and Manu have their own unique handshake thing happening. Kinda nice to see it all live.

Finley still cannot seem to find his shot. Um, Manu went nuts with the ball. Great shots. And then Tony took over with his magically quick moves. I was impressed. Then Brent gave us a couple of three pointers. Elson and Oberto were pretty solid, too. Tim even made most of his free throws. Brucie had the defense thing going as always, very solid...and very good.

Rober Horry did not play today, but he looked very handsome in his nice suit. The guy always looks good. Beno didn't play as well, he had a ton of errors. Matt Bonner got some minutes as well. It's interesting that I've noticed that Manu and Tony spend a lot of time talking to each other on the bench and on the court. They seem like very good friends. And so do Bruce and Tim and Robert, always talking to each other a lot...Just the whole team seemed like a TEAM...everyone played well and defended well. The way they interact with each other is very close and seem more like best friends/brothers than just teammates. I find this refreshing to see cuz I didn't see that from Clippers or any other teams. Clippers looked completely crushed. Sam made some nice shots, but that's about it. Brand was lost. And the rest of the team did not do much.

All in all, a predictable game from the very start.

Thanks for all the insight!

I thought he had won a Dodge Nitro?

[baseline bum]

That shot that dude hit from half-court had no arch whatsoever. I was telling Russ that if he shot that 20 more times he'd never hit it again. That was the most hyped the Clipper fans ever got in the game.

Tony's jumper was beautiful tonight, and I loved seeing Tim face up and attack the basket more. Great effort tonight in the second game of a back to back while playing a of a home team after a difficult game last night.

LOL...that shot was crazy! I cannot BELIEVE that the guy made it! I mean it was an awkward throw! And yup, that's the LOUDEST the Clippers got!

And yup, he didn't win the money. I made a mistake. He did win the car, as I now remember!

LOL! yeah that dang guy with the blue and red clippers suit... hahaha I seriously thought He was hired but I think he's just a die-hard fan that shows up every Clipper home game and does that stuff on his own. I just don't like it when he starts with his "let's go clippers let's go"..lol but he didn't even get a chance to do that last night cuz whenever the Clippers would gain even just a little momentum, the Spurs would kill it right away.

But yeah the funniest was when he was shouting accross the court "Eva I love youu!!!", I kept staring at Parker to see if he had a reaction but he didn't. lol

Funny stuff!,

I wonder how come everytime I go to a game it is never a close one. It's always a blowout...it'd be exciting to be there in a close game.

[Solid D]

Great report!!! (I think Sam only made one shot, though.)

That nutty cat, Darrell has been going to Clips games for years! You can actually hear his chants during the broadcasts. His voice carries and he definitely gets the crowd into it.

It was sweet when that guy made the halfcourt shot & won the truck. It was great to see the arena go nuts for a strangers good fortune.

There were alot of Spurs fans at the Clips game... I didn't see too many at the Lakers game the night before.

Yeah that dude goes to every game and is just as loud every night. It's like he knows all the players in the league cause he be joking with all kinds of cats. One time I thought Marcus Camby was gonna rush the stands after he was starin dude down, then he just laughed and pointed to him. You can hear him on TV and if you see him, you would have thought he was Cedric the Entertainer I swear.
