Before the 2010 season, you probably heard murmurs of a resurgence in L.A. Blake Griffin was Barack Obama mixed with Shawn Kemp, you heard. Baron Davis might try this year, people said. Eric Gordon looked like one of the league’s true rising stars. The Clippers could surprise some people!
Okay, It’s Official: The Clippers Are The Lindsay Lohan Of The NBA
And then, just when we all got our hopes up, the Clippers are more hopeless than ever.
They’ve started the season 1-11 and lost their last three games against three of the worst teams in the entire league--Detroit, New Jersey, and Minnesota. And you know what? That makes the L.A. Clippers the absolute worst, most pathetic team in the league. Again. As always. So much for the new lease on life...
They have more talent than half the teams in the NBA this season, and yet, it still happens this way almost every year. The Clippers are the Lindsay Lohan of the NBA. Put faith in them at your own peril. In a hundred different ways, they will crush your hopes, just like always, with each failure more spectacular than the last.
Was this all an elaborate way of saying that Donald Sterling is the Michael Lohan of NBA owners?
Let’s just say, if grading an owner’s year-to-year impact is ultimately a question of Nature vs. Nurture, Sterling’s tenure in Los Angeles has been a pretty telling experiment. In the NBA or in life, the apple doesn’t fall far from the completely incompetent scumbag.
