  1. Good luck tonight Clippers!

  2. I’m not clear what this means. Are they talking about the players, did the players make this statement? I would find it hard to believe that the franchise front office said this.

  3. The front office types don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Sterling won’t be hanging around the office anymore. The king is dead; long live the king.

  4. Who wouldn’t want the chance to see their asshole boss get canned?
