Lol they are going for a title.  The Clippers arent going to win a title.  We can go ahead and cut that noise now. There are things more important than basketball, and a title.  If you read the transcript of what Sterling said, then you would know that he treats these players like slaves.  "I support them and give them food, and clothes, and cars, and houses.  Who gives it to them? Do I know that I have"

There's no way, as a black man, I would've been able to suit up and play today's game after seeing that.  Kobe Bryant said he couldn't even play for the man. This is bigger than a damn championship title.

Well for some of us that don't follow the team that closely yes it is news to us.  

 

I"m disappointed to see them "shut up and play".  They could have at the very least made more of a statement than wearing their warmups inside out, that's the point.

They are going for a title. Why would they sit out when they have a shot to go up 3-1

It's a game.  Sometimes you've got to stand up for what you believe in.

 

"In 1967, three years after winning the heavyweight title, Ali refused to be conscripted into the U.S. military, citing his religious beliefs and opposition to American involvement in the Vietnam War. The U.S. government declined to recognize him as a conscientious objector, however, because Ali declared that he would fight in a war if directed to do so by Allah or his messenger (Elijah Muhammad). He was eventually arrested and found guilty on draft evasion charges and stripped of his boxing title. He did not fight again for nearly four years—losing a time of peak performance in an athlete's career."

 

I didn't think a sit out was that probable, but a stronger statement without doubt should have been made.

 

They probably would've been better off sitting this game out considering the ass beating they're taking right now.

the whole transcript and conversation is here.  I follow David West on twitter, and he summed it up perfectly with this: "Sterling basically articulated plantation politics. Make money off the bucks, lay with the women, no association in public...good or bad"

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.
