What's up, my fellow Clipper peeps!? Well, the
road trip from hell has finally ended, with the team
going 1-5 away from Staples. And to finally top it all
off, superstar Elton Brand and bench player Obinna
Ekezie got into it in a Minneapolis hotel yesterday
morning, prior to the team's morning shoot-around at
Target Center. Coach Alvin Gentry said that the
situation would be taken care of in-house, and will be
dealt with.<br><br>And to add insult to injury, our
Clips got their asses spanked by the Timberwolves, one
of the two best teams in the NBA, 97-83. The game
was even that close, except the Clips outscored the
Wolves in every quarter but the 2nd, where they
outscored 35-14 by Minnesota. The Clips also outscored the
Wolves in the paint (lay-ups and dunk for those that
don't know), 48-36.<br><br>I'm not going to make this
road situation an issue again and again, because it
gets real tired. Some people say it maybe
psychological, which could somewhat be true. This team is
virtually unbeatable at home, but they lack the same
confidence to win on the road. The Clips can redeemed
themselves as they have 4 out of their next 5 games at
Staples Center.<br><br>We hope that they get things
together, and try to salvage what's left of the season,
because it doesn't get easier. I gotta get out of here,
talk to you next week. Peace!
