The Clippers have a very simple plan, coming into the new season. Don't be out played. This isn't meant as a team, but as individuals. The message Coach and GM BoomerPurser gave was simple don't be the weaker player. We where granted permission to sit in on a team meeting. The only rules where don't ask the players, staff, or coaches any questions. Just write down what is said and what happens, and this is what took place.
Coach Purser: Good Afternoon Fellows, as you can see everyone is here today, including last night draftees Chase Budinger. We have a couple thing to discuss, but first I'm going to open the floor to any questions anyone may have.
Coach Purser: NO QUESTIONS, Good, Lets get started.
First thing, Even though it's simple and petty. KEEP YOUR LOCKER ROOM CLEAN. How do expect to play like champions if you live like bottom dwellers... O.K., Start right now being the best. Live, Practice, Play, and Celebrate like the best. Losers don't celebrate do they,... HELL NO! So to Get to celebrating like the best you first have to do the first three.
Vince Lombardi once did not say practice makes perfect he said "Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect." Don't come at me with this no one's perfect bull crap. You strive to become perfect you reach for it until your last breath; because "Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence." And my friends excellence is where legends are born. You won't get know as one of the best by playing good or even better than most, but if you play excellent day in and day out, the game will give birth to your legacy.
For example who am I talking about?..Dropped 45pts with the Flu?
Get it you won't win thinking about it or knowing your good. "Confidence is like the Flu, it's very contagious. It passes from one person to the next and so on, but so is lack of confidence."
I know you Dwayne are the best shooting guard in the league, I have that confidence in you. You too Kevin, you'll be unstoppable this year, and you greg...All of you.
But, you have to think so to. You have to be better than that person that you line up in front of every night. Cause, when he beats you on a play, thats you telling me that he is just plan out better then you. So when you let someone drop 25, 30, or 40 points on you, then he's just that much better than you.
If we know that we are better then each opponent as individuals and a team, why should be settle for a lose anytime. It's time the tides of change grabbed these Clippers and brought them back home, with a championship.
"Champions on Three on Three"
1.....2....3 [crowd rumble].
GM Purser had put the glare back into these mens, eyes. That glare that you see on draft night or at the closing seconds of the finals know the trophy is yours. The room felt different and so did the team. It a new team and new time so get ready for the:
