Well, the point guard starting job I believe should be given to
Marko Jaric, because he was very productive with those limited
minutes he was given. As for the backup... that's another issue, the
Clippers do have Dooling, but he hasn't stepped it up. Many people
belive that the Clippers will sign up Marcus Hatten, their star
standout in the summer league... in fact he did so well, they didn't
let him play that much so other teams couldn't scout him... but
here's my take on it... there's still an GREAT unsigned free
agent... Rafer Alston. Okay, you might be wondering who the hell I
am talking about... unless you know streetball, then you know I am
talking about none other than the legendary Skip to my Lou!! Yes, he
is still unsigned and he posted career numbers with the Raptors last
year. He would be a great fit with the Clippers, he has the energy
to boost the Clippers off the bench, the creativity to mesh with
them, and the street mentality and will to win every single game.
Plus, the Clippers would get a whole lot more of money from ticket
sales... LOL! Watch Kobe get crossed... wait... he's not gonna be
playing anytime soon, LoL!!

I say 60 million is too good for Areans, but its good the Clipper
curse of a closed wallet is gone... however, the Clippers might just
go to Speedy Claxton, if they can't land Areans... which is what I
hope for, because Speedy will be more reliable and much cheaper.

What does everyone think about that?...isnt that too much? i mean,
its good that Sterling is finally trying, but $10 mil a year is too
much for Arenas.
Exacto Mundo. But it is off now that Management revealed that we are
re-signing Brand Maggs and Odom and trying to get Gilbert Arenas.---

Well, I would assume because Sterling doesn't care about how the
team does, and is way more interested in making money, than see his
team prosper. And the fact that we haven't tried to re-sign any
free agents, or keep the players we have.

Well, now that Kandi man is a T-Wolf, I would love to have Jimmy
Jackson. I think Kendall Gill is way past his prime, and would just
be a waste of money. I also heard that the Clipps are interested in
Gilbert Arenas, since Andre Miller is going. I like Arenas a lot,
but I doubt that we'll get him.

Well, Kandi man is not a big piority for the Clippers rite now, and
they will probably match the offer sheet of any team, as long as it's
resonable... 6 million or lower that is... (fat chance of that
happening)
The thing that is worrying me now is Maggette, because I hear he is
getting 74 million/6 years from the Jazz, hopefully the Clippers can
lure a vetern to replace Maggs... I want either Jim Jackson or
Kendell Gil... I ono... what do you think?

What does everyone think of Dunleavy saying that he would like to
have Olowakandi stay with the Clippers? My view is this: Why?
He's average less than 12 points a game since he's been here, and is
basically a waste of space and money. With the amount of money that
we're paying him, we could afford to get someone who isn't a chump.
I was hoping the J. Kidd would sign with San Antonio, so that maybe
we would have a chance to get Tony Parker, since Andre's leaving,
but that didn't quite work out.

Oh no... did you see the jersey number Chris Kamon was holding up...
number 35?!! This rookie needs to learn some Clippers history before
he chooses his number, number 35 is a sacred number, the number of
Mr. Clipper, Loy Vaught!! I seriously hope he reconsiders his
number, because number 35 of the Clippers will be hard to live up to
and actually should be retired already!
If you are planning on purchasing a full Clippers Season package,
please contact me. I have $180 credit for a Clippers season package
that I am trying to get rid of. I would like to sell it for $80.00
OBO. If interested, call Jenny at 626-512-3184. Thanks!
Kaman is going to be a stud. I went to college at CMU and the kids
got skillz. He already has put on a lot of size since is freshman
year, and he knows he needs more. Its been an ongoing project. He
might not ever be able to man up on Shaq, or Yao, but he has the
potential to rock at least 20 teams Centers. Look at his FT%, you
cant even foul him at the end of the game.
I think T.J. Ford, Chris Kaman, and Dwayne Wade would all be great
choices. I personally would like the Clippers to pick Kaman because
of the huge numbers he put up in college, plus the Clippers would
need a good center if Olowokandi leaves (a very likely scenario).

It seems like the basic argument for sterling is this: until one
proved he's shaq/kobe/tmac superstar status, no money for you.
While
that's a fair argument, it is a flawed basis for running a team
that
aims at winning for so many reasons which I will not go into.
It is no secret that sterling plays it like a businessman, that
unless
he's 100% sure he'll win the championship, he's satisfied with
finishing last year in and year out. The thinking is, if I'm
not
going to win it all, why not just take the profit? Fair enough,
so
here's my humble opinion of what I think every clipper fan
should do.
First, we need to make the economics not work for sterling. The
truth
is that he can run the team to be profitable year in and year
out
without winning anything. So the fans need to do 4 simple
things, DO
NOT GO TO CLIPPERS GAMES. DO NOT BUY CLIPPERS MERCHANDISE. DO
NOT
WATCH CLIPPERS ON TV. DO NOT EVEN LISTEN TO THEM ON RADIO.
Let's try to see how sterling makes out this season along. The
clippers drew 700000+ fans this season, at average ticket price
of 40
dollars. That's 28 mil in tickets for the season. You add that
with
26 mil from national tv revenue, 15 mil in luxury tax and escrow
tax
rebates. That's 69 mil(the number we know) + his local revenues
+ his
concession stands percentage. Take that - 42.7 mil in player
salary -
operation cost he's making a huge amount of money(20 mil+?) just
this
season along. Now while the fans aganized over the losing, he's
laughing all the way to his bank. Now emotions aside, I for one
will
not let him rape me of my hard earned cash anymore. It's
obvious he
has no passion for the team, why should the fans invest?

Always Chant:
Hare Krishna,
Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna,
Hare Hare
Hare Rama,
Hare Rama
Rama Rama,
Hare Hare
We've all heard the Hare Krishna mantra at some time, but what the
heck is so special about this mantra? Why are we supposed to spend
time chanting it? What can it do for us?
First of all, let me explain a little about mantra-yoga. Mantra-yoga
is actually a tradition found in almost every spiritual path and
religion in the world. It may involve the softly spoken repetition of
a prayer or mantra for one's own meditation, or it may be the
congregational singing of spiritually uplifting songs, prayers, or
the sacred names of the Supreme Being. It all involves the same
process, but in the Eastern tradition it is called mantra-yoga
because it is the easy process of focusing our minds on the Supreme,
which helps spiritualize our consciousness. Man means the mind, tra
means deliverance. Therefore, a spiritual mantra is the pure sound
vibration for delivering the mind from material to spiritual
consciousness. This is the goal of any spiritual path. Although all
spiritual traditions have their own prayers or mantras, the Vedic
mantras are especially powerful and effective in uniting us with the
spiritual realm.
Many years ago the brahmana priests could accomplish many kinds of
wondrous deeds simply by correctly chanting particular mantras. Many
of these mantras still exist, but it is very difficult to find those
who can chant them accurately. This is actually a safety measure
because if the wish-fulfilling mantras were easily chanted, there
would no doubt be many people who would misuse them. But other
mantras that are available can easily help purify one's
consciousness, give spiritual enlightenment, and put one in touch
with the Supreme.
In Bhagavad-gita (10.25) Sri Krishna explains that He is the
transcendental om mantra and that the chanting of japa (chanting a
mantra quietly for one's own meditation) is the purest of His
representations and sacrifices. It is understood that by chanting
japa and hearing the holy sounds of the mantra, one can come to the
platform of spiritual realization. The energy in the sound vibration
of the mantra prepares and opens one's consciousness to higher levels
of reality. This is the process of mantra-yoga. Even though the
mantra is powerful in itself, when the mantra is chanted by a great
devotee, it becomes more powerful. This is the effect when a disciple
is fortunate enough to take initiation from a spiritually powerful
master who gives him a mantra for spiritual purposes. Then the
disciple can make rapid progress by utilizing the mantra.
In this age of Kali-yuga the process of chanting japa or mantra
meditation is much more effective than practicing other spiritual
paths that include meditating on the void or Brahman effulgence, or
trying to control the life air within the body as in raja-yoga. Only
a very few can become perfect at moving the life air up to the top of
the head or raising the kundalini force up through the various
chakras. And meditating on the void becomes useless as soon as there
is the slightest external distraction, which in this age of Kali is a
continuous thing. Therefore, the most effective means of focusing the
consciousness is to concentrate on the sound vibration of a mantra.
There are two mantras that are especially recommended in the Vedic
literature. One is omkara or the om mantra, and the other is Hare
Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/Hare Rama, Hare
Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, which is known as the maha or great
mantra. It is explained that these two mantras can deliver one to the
realm beyond material existence.
Omkara (pranava) is considered to be the sound incarnation of the
Supreme Personality of God and is identical with the Supreme Lord.
The Narada-pancaratra states: "When the transcendental sound
vibration is practiced by a conditioned soul, the Supreme Lord is
present on his tongue." The Atharva-veda and the Mandukya Upanishad
both mention the importance of omkara. Omkara is said to be the
beginning, middle, and end, and is eternal, beyond all material
restrictions. Omkara is unlimited, transcendental, and
indestructible. As such, it is not so easy for the average person to
understand all the intricacies of omkara or to chant om properly.
Actually, the chanting of omkara is generally practiced by
impersonalists and those engaged in the mystic yoga process. By
chanting om and controlling the breathing perfectly, which is mostly
a mechanical way of steadying the mind, one is eventually able to go
into trance or samadhi. Through this system, one gradually changes
the tendencies of the materially absorbed mind and makes it
spiritualized. But this takes many years to perfect and such a slow
process is not practical in this age. If one is not a brahmana, he
will not understand omkara and will not be able to get the desired
results from chanting it. Therefore, it is not advised that people
chant omkara in this age of Kali-yuga because they are generally not
qualified to chant it properly. The mantra for Kali-yuga is the maha-
mantra, or great mantra for deliverance, which is Hare Krishna, Hare
Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama,
Hare Hare.
