The Clippers remain as disappointing as ever, but they have finally found their man, so clueless it's as if he was born to be this organization's spokesman.
He likes to speak in contradictions, so he's almost always right as well as wrong and as joke's go, Vinny Del Negro is a hoot.

On the plus side..
They didn’t just sign Mike Conley for $45 million over 5 years. It’s not all bad.

Does this mean what I think it means?
That Rose led this team to two 41-41 seasons and two playoff appearances on his own? Yep. Vinny never had a clue and, unfortunately, still hasn’t found one.
Well, for Vinny's sake, at least he's with the right organization
It’ll take 5 years before Sterling realizes he’s inept
Superteams suck.
Unfortunately,
I believe that being inept is one of the things this organization looks for.
I actually think Sterling knows exactly what he’s doing—he’s doing just enough to make him look like he wants to win. The facade is just enough to sell tickets and make money.
That’s where VDN fits in—he’s an exciting new hire who actually will keep the team just mediocre enough.

while hearing about VDN is hilarious (especially now that he doesn't coach the bulls anymore)...
its also a little sad. Its obvious that he is in waaaaaaaay over his head.

who am I kidding
he gets paid millions of dollars to suck at his job. I hope they fire the silly bastard tomorrow.

Also, there is a notable difference
in how the LA reporters criticize Vinny and the Clippers, compared to our fearless leaders KC and Sam – the mouthpieces of the org. And yes, I just channeled my inner yfbb.

I hope Vinny's got a good lawyer
Because when he gets fired, Donald Sterling is going to try to not pay him the rest of his contract. And at the rate the Clippers are going, that could be sometime in December.
lmao
I went to the Clippers game last month and had so much fun yelling Vinny over and over again with beer in my hand and 0 people in the stands. Vinny4Prez!

The Bulls would not need Carlos Boozer if they had Blake Griffin.
TS% = Thabo Sefolosha percentage. It calculates how much you can be like Thabo Sefolosha. That’s why Keith Bogans is at 70%.

Umm...
Strasburg didn’t flame out, he got hurt. There aren’t really flame-outs at the NBA level, where a guy that rocks as a rook regresses badly the next year.At least I can’t recall any.
If it happens it's almost always related to injury
I got the skills to pay the bills and that's about it

Even with Boozer hurt, does Griffin have the hard hat?
or the lunch pail?
Taj still starts.

He's got freckles...
So he could at least take Scalabrine’s spot.
Is this even a basketball game anymore, or am I watching a referee themed television show? -Juiceboxjerry

So how is Baron Davis going to wind up on the Miami Heat in February?
Its going to happen.
Yep, and hopefully he'll lose some big games for them.

On the Score 670 they had a guy from the LA Times beat ( I think) some interesting stuff.
-VDN was hired as a favor to Jerry Reinsdorf because Sterling owed JR money?
- Also VDN was more concerned with his own win/loss record for a future coaching prospect than the health of his own players, Noah.
Interesting if true. What a tool.

isnt the second bullet
what led to paxson trying to strangle him….
I dont care what the D.N.A. Says, the Guy wearing number 12 Cannot be Kirk Hinrich, he is definetly Kurt. Kirk can actually play basketball!
yes.
these are just rumors though so take them for what they’re worth. Ok they got the first part wrong somewhat. I guess the Bulls owed 2.7 million and then maybe Sterling own JR favor? I don’t know. But yeah the first part makes sense to me.

why did sterling owe JR money?
"If I was to answer that question honestly, I would have to lie to you."
- Isiah Thomas, when asked if any teams were interested in trading for Shandon Anderson
They got into a little more.....
What they were speculating with a little help from TJ Simmers ( LA Times) is that JR called Sterling and said if you take Vinny and prevent him from suing the Bulls over Pax incident; then the Clips would have to pay less for a head coach because the Bulls would be paying Vinny’s 3rd year or some portion of the contract(?). Vinny happy because he’s guaranteed another job.
Sterling and Reinsdorf have been friendly since the days of the Bulls trying to send Scottie there the whole 94 season ( from “The Second Coming” by Sam Smith).

nice.
So do you know some of the bad things Sterling was involved with? B&B mentioned things but nothing specific.
[O-MAIR A-SHEEK]
he's allegedly racist according to this
