I've been a season ticket holder for 5 years now and the guy is starting to get on my nerves more and more every game.
I feel like everything he does is to get attention for himself rather than for the good of the team. I feel that what he does is more of a "look at me" type thing than getting people excited about the game.
Does anyone else share my sentiment? |

| I personally think he's awesome. The fans are dead in Staples center.. Whenever you hear them clapping to a beat or yelling something, it has to do with Clipper Darrell. I think you guys are too hard on him- if he wanted attention, he would demand money or season tickets or something. Not only that, but he would've taken the deal to go to Dallas and get paid for doing this stuff. Not to mention all the attention he would have gotten for accepting a deal from Mark Cuban. |

| I think he really loves the team and I like to hear him when I have the opportunity to watch a Clippers game on TV which btw I confess it's not often so I can understand that people who attends every single game can become tired of him |

| I think his act is getting tired...while I admire his enthusiasm there's a fine line between passionate and annoying when it comes to fans...and hes closer to annoying. |

| Yeah maybe its the repetition more than anything that gets me... Its just the same old song and dance every game.. I hear people think its the most clever thing ever when he starts his U-G-L-Y chant and I just have to roll my eyes lol |

And the MVP chants for Blake were a bit premature... The Kaman ones were just as bad (although not started by Dayrl)
Other pet peeves:
I wish he wouldn't start the wave during crunch time when we have the ball.. that has to be distracting for our team!
He did this on monday against the wolves.. maybe it helped though since we pulled it out and got the win lol |

Yeah I think the wave helped.. It's even worse when you're the home team and your fans are just sitting there staring at you, not making noise, or anything. Why do you think arenas get loud in the end? To distract the home team? No.. It gives them more energy. It shows that the fans are there, backing them up. I liked that he started the wave at the wolves game, it woke up most of the fans.
And the MVP chants for Blake were warranted. Blake was the Summer League MVP. Clipper Darrell wasn't chanting "LEAGUE MVP! LEAGUE MVP!" Blake was the most recent player to win an MVP award, and whether or not it was in Summer League or regular season, why not praise him for it? |

| If we make it to the 2nd round we all wear Clipper D outfits. Any takers? If it's warm we can substitute shorts and a sweater but you have to have matching socks. For those of you who like to "Sag" Please make sure your boxers are the proper color and please wash them . Brown goes poorly with R/W/B. Sometimes he's the only spark in an otherwise dead crowd. If it weren't for him there's no noise. STH's may have heard a million times but newbies haven't. You have to, to a certain ,use the same material because nobody will know new stuff and he'd be alone like he often is. At least he has enthisiasm. (does he have a life?) Do they make red/white/blue condoms? If so he probably uses them. Imagine in the near future when we're hot. It's "hey baby you're a Clipps fan. Why don't you take one for the team?" It would be wothe a try. |

I don't agree with the wave being a good thing at the end of the game... Its no where near as intimidating to have the fans doing the wave as it is for everyone to be on their feet screaming for the final minute of the game..
Can we get a DEFENSE chant? Maybe a solidified LETS GO CLIPPERS, LETS GO? That would be pretty intimidating at the end of the game.. definately more so than the wave.. |

I attended the game Monday night against Minnesota (the first Clipper game I attended in two years), and Calm is right...the atmosphere is dead. Except for late in games when the games are close, it's too damn quiet. It may very well have to do with Dunleavy's coaching style, which has turned off many of us Clippers fans. The Odom-Miles-QRich teams were fun, even we lost more than we won, but the atmosphere was fun.
I'm pretty sure when the Clips start winning consistently, the enthusiasm will be much higher. |

thats just not a true statement
there are plenty of other fans there cheering there hearts out, maybe their voices aren't as loud as daryl's but i hear them every game
they are also there to yell for the team, not to have people look at them. maybe thats why you don't notice them |

i agree, there are definiely other people cheering he is just the loudest and probably most annoying. Its the clipper darryl show, no the clipp show every game for him. |

It's weird.. we constantly complain about how our crowd is never into it, and the Clippers organization constantly tries doing things to pump up the fans (such as bringing those people to the 300 section that hold up the cards and make the fans yell "GO!" and "CLIPPERS!" any time they raise them up... It's weird that we struggle that much for energy and loudness, and yet you guys seem to think Darrell, one of the only guys that truly IS loud, should be criticized.
Didn't you guys watch the Thunder and Lakers game yesterday? That Thunder crowd was loud.. even against a team like the Lakers who always have fans in the opposing arenas. I honestly expected the Thunder crowd to be there mostly for the Lakers but they proved me wrong.
Anyhow, do you really think Clipper Darrell would stick out in a bunch of loud Jazz fans? Or Spurs fans? No... He only sticks out because everyone else is quiet. He's doing nothing wrong, most of the crowd is supposed to be at his level or close to it at least. |

I agree...another factor in that that I forgot to mention in my earlier post, is that like a lot of the newer buildings in the NBA, Staples Center can be too cavernous...not making excuses here, I read on other message boards that even when the arenas are full (or close to it), they're still quieter. You look at old NBA footage, when the seating capacities were smaller and the seats were closer to the court...the crowds were a helluva lot more boisterous. I remember when watching Clipper home games at the old Sports Arena, a typical crowd would be 8,000 to 9,000 (in a 16,000-seat arena), and was a bit more louder than a typical Clipper crowd at Staples.
When I went to the game the other night, everyone in my section (324) got seat upgrades, and each of us were moved to different sections of the 100 level (I ended in section 116)...Clipper Darrell made his way near my section in the second half (he was in 115). I was into Darrell's act for the most part, but only in smaller doses. Except for a few ladies in the row behind me, and another one across the aisle from me...everyone else was pretty reserved until the end. |

| I can't believe you would even start this thread. This guy is a die hard clipper fan who is loyal. Mark Cuban was going to pay this guy to cheer at Mavs games and he turned it down to stay with the Clippers. He is a fan who loves the Clippers. Honestly as a clipper fan I wish there were many more Darrell's out there. You go to a Clipper game now and it feels like a high school game with the whole crowd being quiet. There are plenty of other things then to worry about Darrell. |

| We need Darrell. If our crowds were like Oracle Arena or Rose Garden's, it wouldn't be an issue, but Darrell helps pumps up the crowd, which can be anemic a lot of times. Plus his loyalty puts Clipper Nation in a good light - the media can never say he's a frontrunner. |

I was at Monday's game too... The place was pretty good the first half when the Clips were playing well. In the second half, when they started to blow it, the place went dead. You could hear the collective sign that lasted the entire last 24 minutes, "Here we go again."
I've been though the good times in the early 90's when we had a good team and again a few years ago. When the fans start believing, the place will come alive... it just takes some success to make it happen because we're all so doubtful and think every turnover is the beginning of the end... and usually is...
Clipper Darrell is cool. |

| I've got no problem with CD. I think its good that the Clippers have a recognizable fan (whatever happened to Billy Crystal?). Some of the stuff he does is a little over the top for my taste, but, like others have said, its good someone is making noise. Indeed, when the crowd overall gets more enthusiastic, he'll become less noticeable. That's going to take winning. For better for for worse, L.A. is a front running city. Sure, the Clippers have a lot of die hard fans other than CD, but Staples won't really start to rock for the Clippers until they win consistently. Our home court advantage was good in 05-06; it will be again if we can go on another nice run. |

Agree 100%. The guy is trying to stir us up, but it's the rest of the crowd that is pathetic. I'm tired of the other 15,999 fans who sit on their hands the whole game.
If you want to hear something other than "U-G-L-Y" ... then stand up and start something! |

| without clipper darrell we could hear a pin drop in the stadium... thats how quite our crowd is. if we could get our crowd as loud as the thunders crowd, i promise we would have a very good season. you guys might think making noise doesn't do much but trust me you wont win if you dont have your fans with you. thats why away games are hard its common sense. |

| it is also quiet cause it's so empty. When you're at a Laker game you're warm.. you can wear a tshirt (friday night game) then going to the Monday night CLipper game I needed a jacket cause it was cold. Did they turn up the AC? no.. just the stadium is so empty it's freezing in there without body heat bringing it up. |

The guy was a Laker fan.
He started getting attention at Clipper games and stuck.
Capitalized on the moment. He actually sells Clipper Darrell stuff.
And gave thought to Mavs deal, and worked things out with the Clipper organization and stayed.
IMO hes attention starved, annoying, and fake. Then again sounds like Laker fans, and like Laker fans he is loud. Clipper games need to get louder, thats just the bottom line. |

i believe it. Motives are a big thing for me and his seem to be more about grabbing others attention than actually cheering on the clippers.
Also the U-G-L-Y cheer is just flat out annoying and rude. |

| You can clearly see that he is doing it for attention.. His eyes light up more when people are watching him than when we get a win or make a good play. Do you think that he dances with the Clippers spirit during time outs to get the crowd pumped up? No. He does it to get all eyes on him. |

| He's the guy that try's to hard to fit in. I used to sit in section 107 and it got annoying as hell having to listen to him. It's just the same nonsense over and over again. Starting the wave as well while were in a close game is the worst thing. Nothing like taking people's attention away from the game when we need the crowd the most. The guy only cares about himself and gets off on people watching him act like a fool. |

| if you guys dont like what clipper d is doing during the games, then you should start your own chants and be loud. clipper fans are never into the game. we should be LOUDER and cheer more for this team. they need it and you will be surprised what a few cheers and chants will do for this team |

So it's a bad thing to dance with the cheerleaders during a timeout?
Don't you see all the other fans twirling their shirts around and dancing to try to get on the jumbotron? so when everyone else does it, it's alright.. but when Darrell does it it's a bad thing? |

| Sounds like he needs a coach provided to him by the Clippers. A cheerleader shouldn't turn on some fans and turn off others. He should be doing material that excites everybody. Personally, I would not sit in the section he sits in most of the time. The retition of the same chant over and over again drives me crazy. But maybe a cheerleading coach to work on his act is what he needs. |

Clipper Daryl,,,meh. The only thing that annoys me is how focused the media is on him sometimes as though he has been around since the 80's and he has not.
Speaking of the crowd though..I have ST but I split them with another guy so I only get half the games. My first game was last Sat and I don't think I have ever heard the place so quiet. Since Staples opened I have gone to 3 Lakers games (tix were free or I wouldn't have gone) and 100s of Clipper games and the crowd was so dead I was whispereing to my wife sometimes. ALthough she screams the entire game we were on an island yelling until about the 4th quarter when everyone woke up, or the alchohal hit, whichever it was. And it wasn't the game,,we were in it for a lot of the game until the end (heard that before huh?). |

It's weird.. we constantly complain about how our crowd is never into it, and the Clippers organization constantly tries doing things to pump up the fans (such as bringing those people to the 300 section that hold up the cards and make the fans yell "GO!" and "CLIPPERS!" any time they raise them up... It's weird that we struggle that much for energy and loudness, and yet you guys seem to think Darrell, one of the only guys that truly IS loud, should be criticized.
Didn't you guys watch the Thunder and Lakers game yesterday? That Thunder crowd was loud.. even against a team like the Lakers who always have fans in the opposing arenas. I honestly expected the Thunder crowd to be there mostly for the Lakers but they proved me wrong.
Anyhow, do you really think Clipper Darrell would stick out in a bunch of loud Jazz fans? Or Spurs fans? No... He only sticks out because everyone else is quiet. He's doing nothing wrong, most of the crowd is supposed to be at his level or close to it at least.
I 100% agree. I can't believe this was "ALOUD" to get posted. get it "ALOUD". Enough. The last game I went to I was scared to get up and cheer cuz I though I was gonna give the guy next to me a heart attack. It was very quiet, the advantage you are supposed to have at home is the home crowd backing the home team so if you'd prefer not to hear the noise of fans cheering the Clippers on maybe you should watch the game from home and listen to Ralph and Mike praise the players of the other team. I understand if someone is irritated by somebody else yelling but that's why you go to the game. |

nope. I believe you'll be right behind the hockey boards. The 1st row as the seats start to go up in height. Should be good seats, but seeing over the players will be interesting. |

| Just lay off Clipper Darryl. Maybe he wouldn't stand out as much if the whole crowd actually cheered. He's just a typical fan who is the type to get really into the game. You can find 50 Laker Darryls in their home games, the only difference is that they don't stand out as much because the whole crowd is cheering. |

I have to say it's been at least five or six years...it just been within the last four years that I actually noticed him. Like a few of us mentioned, he was formerly a Laker fan, who got turned off the Shaq-Kobe drama among other things. As you may have seen, there's pretty mixed reaction about Clipper Darrell. I like said, I don't mind him too much, but I much rather focus on watching to the game than to listen to his antics. I just think that watching Dunleavy's coaching and its end results has sucked the life out of a lot of Clippers fans. |
