You picked the WORST game in the whole NBA season out of all the teams ...
lol well i live in la and laker tickets are super expensive...so to see haddadi up close i got real good seats at clippers, 3 of them, so not a bad deal at all...and i figured its towards end of the season so he had time to adjust
I be shocked if he even makes it back to a NBA roster ever.
I see either Iran or Europe in the near future.
he'll just stay in the d-league....he's the tallest guy in the whole league probably...the tallest guys in those teams like 6'10'' - 6'11'' so he can def. be usefull...even if he stays a couple of years in d-league, some nba team will pick him up as back up center atleast
damn baba, im sorry. y are the clippers tickets so expensive? u can get like floor seats with $250 when the celtics play a crappy team
well it was for 3 seats and they were close seats. First time i was seeing nba players so close. lol
clipper tix are considered cheap, u should look at laker tix, some games the very last seat up top is atleast 100
floor seats are in the thousands
Marc Gasol was an absolute monster last night. Almost had a triple double with 20 points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds. He also had 3 steals and 3 blocks.
Numbers like that from an NBA rookie center are unreal.

Na I watched it on TV. Decent game, but the Clippers laid down and died in the 2nd half.
Great news for Haddadi. One of his problems in the D-League has been that the coach and team doesn't have an interest in seeing him develop, get minutes, and get better. Now if he's in the D-League again in the future, the team with his NBA rights will undoubtedly be starting him and giving him major minutes to develop since they will be actually running the D-League team's operations.
NBA teams have greater D-League flexibility

Teams that chose the hybrid will control completely the basketball operations of their D-League affiliate. The NBA teams will assign the coaches and make the player personnel decisions for the minor league team. As a consequence, the NBA team must commit to paying the $300,000 to $400,000 a season that it costs to expense the D-League organization’s basketball operations. This cost includes paying the salaries of head and assistant coaches, players and trainers.
The details were outlined in a memo the league office sent to its 30 teams on Thursday. Currently, the Los Angeles Lakers, Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs own and operate their own D-League affiliates.
“The cost [of running a team] is less than a minimum-player salary, so it’s worth it to control your young talent,” a Western Conference executive told Yahoo! Sports. “You can either spend that money to build a great minor-league system or you can spend it on a minimum guy that’s sitting at the end of your bench.”
In its eighth season, the D-League has 16 teams and plans to add a 17th franchise in Portland, Maine, next season. Every NBA team has an affiliate that it can use to season players. NBA teams also can recall players who aren’t the property of particular teams. So far this season, 12 players have been called up to the NBA from the D-League.
