Hey everybody I am so glad to be here with my fellow Clipper myopics. I live outside of Buffalo New York and have followed the Clips since there inception,as the Buffalo Braves. When I was a kid they actually trained at a nearby college an my friends and I would hound the likes of Randy Smith. Ernie D,and Mcadoo. I was there when Tiny Archabald hurt is achilles and in my opinion helped kill the franchise in Buffalo. That year with Tiny and Randy Smith in the backcourt Billy Knight at forward and Swen Nater in the pivot (i don't remember the other starter) we were definatly playoff bound. When they took our team I boycotted the NBA until I moved to LA in 1984 and The Clippers followed. If anybody out there listened to the Pregame shows for years I called in as Kevin from Chatsworth. Anyway just a little backround so you guys know I am not a poser when it comes to the Clips.My first thoughts on the upcoming season are that I obiviously am thrilled with Baron Davis coming in,a healthy EB, a rising star in Al Thornton who I like to call "Thunder" (maybe Baron can be lightning) Eric "Flash"Gordon and of course Kaman. I do worry about the bench, I have a great dislike for Tim Thomas and am on the fence in regard to Cat. I get the NBA package every year and those two literally cost us a couple games last year so I am not opposed to some movement in those areas. I also hope we can do something with Sean meaning being with us this year. Anyway I look forward to chatting with you all in what should be a outstanding season. Just so you guys know I am a Bills.Sabres and Indians fan as well so any Championship will br my first. I also HATE THE LAKERS. Peace

Yeah, welcome to our rapidly growing board. We look forward to comments from a guy who knows quite a bit of Clipper history. Definitely way more than I know, lol. This season should be very exciting and we welcome the opportunity to expand our tight-knit group. Al Thornton brought us a very valued member in DWB, and it looks like Baron Davis and Eric Gordon are bringing us even more quality people. GO CLIPPERS!!!
