    Maybe your right and he does have the strength and footwork. I've just seen him stopped by guards in the paint too many times. Perhaps the truth is somewhere in the middle.

    But the fact of the matter is, porzingus has performed terribly in his post opportunities. On the Lowe post this past Monday he cited porz as having avg 0.5 points per poss in the post. That's a terrible result.

    I picked Clippers in 5 so I'm already incorrect. lol. Will see if a team can win at least one home game. Otherwise, just means Clipper fans and Mav fans are below average NBA fans. :p:D

    I don’t mind the Mavericks or the Rangers nearly as much as the Cowboys

    Go Texas!

    I will also say that I don’t want them to win the championship, but I sure as hell would love to see them beat LA!

    A clipper is an old timey boat. There were lots of them in San Diego.

    “A contest decided on Clippers because the city was known for the great sailing ships that passed through San Diego Bay. When the Clippers moved to Los Angeles in 1984, they kept their nickname.”
    https://www.nba.com/clippers/news/behind_the_name.html

    “A clipper was a type of mid-19th-century merchant sailing vessel, designed for speed. Clippers were generally narrow for their length, small by later 19th century standards, could carry limited bulk freight, and had a large total sail area. "Clipper" does not refer to a specific sailplan; clippers may be schooners, brigs, brigantines, etc., as well as full-rigged ships. Clippers were mostly constructed in British and American shipyards, though France, Brazil, the Netherlands and other nations also produced some. Clippers sailed all over the world, primarily on the trade routes between the United Kingdom and China, in transatlantic trade, and on the New York-to-San Francisco route around Cape Horn during the California Gold Rush. Dutch clippers were built beginning in the 1850s for the tea trade and passenger service to Java.

    The boom years of the clipper era began in 1843 in response to a growing demand for faster delivery of tea from China. This continued under the stimulating influence of the discovery of gold in California and Australia in 1848 and 1851, and ended with the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869.”

    What’s up with the decision to have the cameras aimed at card board cut outs and not the actual crowd?! Dumb m-****as
