Clippers fan account of @orenbernstein so that I don’t completely annoy my medical colleagues with my rabid and long-suffering LAC fanhood. Ride or die.

@lolwtferic You understand the assignment… 😈

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

@JamCristopher Covid/Bubble and then Joe Ingles terrorism don’t happen and I will always believe we would have had two chips

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

@JamCristopher Fuck Joe Ingles forever and always

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

@JamCristopher I really do want Kawhi to retire a clipper. Hope they find the right salary that works for both sides. Have to think he has so much to teach the young squad. Let’s go Unk sign on.

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

@JamCristopher @TeamLou23 and @JCrossover obviously. Honorable mention @patbev21

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

Not a single person on earth when we were 6-21 would have thought this would end up being one of the most fun seasons in memory. What a wild wild wild timeline.

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

@LawMurrayTheNU Oh what might have been if Joe Ingles wasn’t a terrorist in 2021 😞

Coulda been having this Kawhi for the last 5 years 😞😞😞

Grateful we get to experience it now.

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

@FlyByKnite One way or another, to climb the whole mountain we’d have to beat the best in the west. So let’s get it out of the way first. LFG.

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

@followAdamA I mean, sonething MLEish or less? I guess fundamentally what I’m saying is, nobody is going to give them big money at their ages, so are they really going to leave LA for marginally more when they could stay, be comfortable, and thrive in supporting roles for the new max players?

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

@supadee800 @JamCristopher It was something until Joe Ingles singlehandedly ended the title window

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

Not sure who’s the bigger terrorist, Nico Harrison or Joe Ingles.

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

I’m on Team Ballmer.

As much as I wish they circumvented the salary cap, First Steve isn’t that dumb. If he did try to feed KL money, knowing what was at stake for him personally, and his team, do you think he would let the company go bankrupt ? Knowing all creditors would be visible to the world ?

They got scammed by Aspiration, along with many others. Crimes for which they pleaded guilty last week.

Scammers do scammy things. They did a $300m sponsorship deal with the clippers in 2021. That’s a HUGE deal. The better the team does , the more value the sponsorship has. It actually makes perfect sense that if they stole money from investors and want the clippers to succeed, why not give stolen money to help keep their best player ?

It’s sad that @PabloTorre didn’t take the time to find out how these scammers pulled off their scam. The idea that the default is Ballmer is the bad guy is going to back fire on him.

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

@LawMurrayTheNU Epic reference

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

@LAClippersFilm The basketball gods exacted their vengeance on the franchise for the sins of Sterling, channeling Joe Ingles as their agent of malevolence

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

@TomerAzarly @Clipperfan411 People also forget that we were one Joe Ingles dirty play away from contending in 3-4 additional postseasons. You can’t judge the move on the outcome without considering the range of results it could have brought. We just happen to find ourselves in the worst possible timeline.

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

@blockedbywhi Yeah but in another another life the Lakers won every title since 2020 with Kawhi and Shai had some career ending injury, because you know. Clippers and curses.

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

@ClippersPod You should have the Lay’s Cuban sandwich chip people do a press campaign for you

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

Russ couldn’t airball 3s in the last series huh

[Oren.B.LAC @DocOBell]

Curses don’t get lifted easy. But today’s the day. #clippernation
