    Alright, here is another video that I had to rush before we start winning more games...lol.

    caution: This isn't your feel good video...this is more of a question to myself about all this talk of curses and jinxes that the media has revved up since Griffin got hurt. I started out to make a video about Griffin's injury but never had a chance to finish it. So I just kinda mixed the theme with what we are going through right now. Plus, I needed to finish this since I started about a week ago.

    Anyway, here it is...

    No, it's not negative energy...the ending puts it into perspective. A short film/video/movie is supposed to make you use your imagination, provoke thought, provoke emotion, make YOU come to your own conclusion....looks like you have.

    Im sorry, but nothing on that video puts out any hope or anything positive. This is not a provoking video, its simple gloomy music, slow mo highlights of our opponents owning us, and a reoccurring theme of loosing. Not to mention starts off targeting Blakes injury. Its a great vid recapping our start so far, but we all know that has been poor. So it sums up everything until now.

    But if you want to provoke emotion and make me use my imagination you might wanna focus on the future were there is hope or more devastation. Theres nothing to imagine about what has already hapened. And the only emotion that is provoked from what has happened is negative, angered, and gloomy.

    I'm trying to look at us as a glass half full. We are missing a very important piece to our team yet we still remain competitive. We are much better then last year but we need all of our starters playing together and we dont have that right now. It will be exciting if we can keep the rest of our players healthy and BG comes back to the lineup. On many of the threads everyone keeps saying we should have beaten this or that team. If we had all of our players on the floor maybe we would have. It's not fair to assess the team without BG. IMHO.

    Well, that's too bad you see it that way...

    Maybe you should make one yourself and see how you can spin our first 4 losses? Maybe you could spin Blake's injury into a positive? Or how about maybe you look at the last footage of Dunleavy saying things will be alright? Was that not a perfect ending to what I was trying to convey? "things will be alright".


    What in god's world did you want me to do? Make up those 4 losses as wins by changing the outcome? How am I suppose to make a positive video when all the available footage is of our losses?

    You know what I did with the lemons ( footage) I was dealt? I made freaking lemonade out of it!

    And since they were losses, what kind of music did you want me to use? Carousel music? Inspirational music? How about "we are the champions"? No, you use music that fits.

    Anyway, maybe you should be pissed at our team for not giving me the footage i need?

    Not quite... I mean I am pissed at our team's current performances. But if I were to make a video if would not be of our 4 losses it would be of our future. Take footage of our team playing well and competing hard (lots of stuff from the pre season and even last dreaded season and some from this season) put those together and put a inspirational or fun happy song on the background (carousel music would be boring) and call it a day.

    This video would get people in a better mood, bring back some sense of "we can do this" and restore some hope. Strengthen our will for the games that lay ahead.

    I said I would keep making videos this season to document the progress or digression...if they stink it up, then it will be a bad video...if they don't, then i will make the best pump up video I know how...no sugarcoating or manipulating what I have to work with. Just like every fan's emotions come out when we lose or win, mine will be put to video....stay true to thyself.

    Well, back to the jinx...or curse....or ghost of Christmas Past. I do believe in the concept of Karma. Is this team cursed? It is believable if you look at the history of seasons with losing records, and a team that seems to have broken all records for broken body parts. Then there is the poor record of bad draft picks. But this history is the history of Donald Sterling. Look at what has happened while he has owned this team. I do not know him personally, but the media reports would lead one to believe that his Karma stinks. Maybe this team never unloads the curse until Sterling takes his bad Karma elsewhere.
