Maybe what the Clippers need is a change of venue, because they’re
sure not having any success at the old homestead.
Having ventured out of Staples Center just once so far this year,
the Clippers are 1-9. Thank goodness for the transplanted Seattle
SuperSonics, now known as the Oklahoma City Thunder—their 1-10
record is the worst in the Western Conference.
City, Philadelphia and New Jersey.
The Clippers won two out of three last season against the former
Sonics, and the Clippers won both meetings against New Jersey.
However, Philadelphia beat the Clippers at Staples Center and at
Wachovia Center.
“It may be good for us to go into a hostile environment,” point
guard Baron Davis said after the team’s latest loss. “It forces us to
pay attention and focus in on what we have to do as a team. I look
forward to it.”
For team togetherness and conquering adversity, an extended road
trip often is the perfect potion for a struggling team. And, indeed,
the Clippers have dug themselves into a deep hole to start this season.
“Tell me about it,” center Chris Kaman said. “It’s a long season,
but I’ve been through this position before with a team and it’s not
fun. At the end of the year people are at each others’ throats, and
it’s not pretty.”
