Hey fellow CTB'ers, with all the breaking news that's been going on lately (wow), I wanted to let you guys know that I just finished a video that's been days in the making. It's my personal take on the Clippers '08-09 Season.
It's my first vid on the internet, so please feel free to comment here or on yt. Your thoughts are always appreciated. So without further ado...
nice video. that part against the lakers where baron stole the ball and made that nice pass to thornton reminded me of what a motivated baron can do. some of the video was tough to watch and was just plain embarassing, but luckly its all behind us and things are looking good heading into next season. new baron, EG jordan and taylor with a year of experience with them, the addition of BG, getting rid of randolph, and the reunion with Q. the offseason has been good to us!
Thanks for the compliments everyone! Many thoughts and inspiration derived from CTB no doubt.

Yeah, it was a tough season to watch, but I wanted the video to bring out those same exact feelings that I had while watching our team play. Moments of elation mixed with humiliating lows.

also like that Camby putback!
If time and space permitted, I would've put way more Camby in there. He surely deserved it.

sick video. I am hoping so bad to see a healthy and motivate baron. When the guy is healthy and wants to play he is such a baller
When putting together the clips, the video just naturally began evolving around him. If this were a movie, Baron would be the unwilling protagonist. We need him to ball.

What a great vid! Probably the best editing I have seen so far. Props, and thanks for sharing that with us.
By the way, I have been "trying" to do one myself but just haven't had the time. I have the clips ( no pun intended) but some are not the best quality. Where did you find yours? most of your clips look better than most I've seen on youtube. Can you tell me where you found them or if you used a software to clean them up. I don't want to steal your secrets so if you'd rather not say, I understand.
I've got to give you a rep, regardless. That was pretty inspiring...
Sucks im at work adn cant view youtube. Can someone upload it and send a link por favor that would be awesome.

I left a comment on the video also but sick job man. You have the talent of bringing emotions out of us Clippers fans. I got chills in the end when it started showing the good things. Btw I'm sure we all did notice early on when Baron landed on his hip he never played the same. He started off the season decent and went to crap after that injury. Either way... this is hands down the most exciting team of my entire time being a Clippers fan. It has the makings of being the biggest letdown of all sports history or being the most epic franchise turn around in history. How amazing would that be guys? If we go on to win a title in the next couple years? If everything goes how it should on paper? We have more talent than the damn Blazers or Hawks! Those are 2 VERY loaded young teams.
very very nice video, it really showed last season. The few brilliant moments by all the players and it showed the disaster as well. I really think this will be a turing point this season. Thanks for the video ohmeohmy!!

Well said I can't help but echo these sentiments. This is probably one of the most exciting teams in recent memory (aside from the Cassel-Mobley playoff year). This does have the potential to become the turning point for our franchise. We are stacked with youth and talent, but we should stop hoping that Baron turns it around. We already have so much young talent that Baron is irrelevant. We should all be excited about the core that will be a killer team (Gordon, Thornton, Griffin, Jordan). Now, all we have to do is keep scoring those excellent draft picks and make sure the guys we got don't jump ship.
