    The Official Clippers Future Ticket Holders Commiseration Thread. :(

    Welp, that's how the cookie crumbles... I believe we had the right team with right chemistry, the puzzle pieces fit just right, a young coach scheming the right moves and right rotations on the fly, PG emerging from his cocoon to shed the "Pandemic P" moniker and fully inhabit his "Playoff P" persona...

    Then fate deals us the worst possible hand out of the blue.

    A Western Conference championship @ +310 is all I asked for... Would have returned just north of eight dimes to my account (including the wager) had this come to fruition but unfortunately a late game bump from Joe Ingles is all it took to sink my battleship.

    I know there are others who feel my pain, even if their risk/reward wasn't the same...

    The Morino, Goduke, Goat Milk and many other anonymous shattered hearts I'm sure.

    Let the group therapy commence...

    I heard because it was Kawhi your bet can be called off.

    They call it the Morono refund.

    Yes I'm not sure why Eddy made this thread. I guess he wasn't aware of that new refund policy.

    Meh, doesn't do me a whole lot of good... Be tough to hedge even they made the WCF unless I just wanted to nullify the whole bet, but by the same token if they manage to topple the Jazz given their situation, I'd probably have some semblance of hope they could topple the Suns.

    Surely he can get his money back if they're refunding Loser Leaves the Forum bets, those are priceless.

    Guys, settle down... this isn't another thread to dump on Morino, there are no shortage of those.

    This thread is all about healing, and the promise of brighter days.

    Welcome, Beaner... The important thing is that you recognize the problem and take full responsibility for your decision. You are clearly on the path to recovery. Understand that betting the Clippers was an action you undertook, but it does not become your identity. You are greater than your latest blunder and hold so much potential for future endeavors.

    There's free coffee and pamphlets in the back.

    Any other day of the week and the Clips would be leading right now... But tonight the Jazz are sniping long balls like they're layups.

    I hope the Clippers win with no Kawhi. Good for the Suns futures.

    Yeah because they're handicapped. How hard would they be laughing if they were missing Devin Booker and another starter?

    The biggest shots of the game were the Jackson 3s in the fourth. George carried them as expected, but they don’t win without those late clock 3s.

    Utah lack of depth is showing, they don’t have legs for threes late in games.

    Yeah Reggie knocked down a couple daggers that basically bailed out two bad offensive possessions.

    We aren’t dead yet. To say I was miserable for most of the day is an understatement. This was a great win. Just need one more game of repeat performance

    He has been incredible. You could argue he is why the clippers might win this series. Lights out from 3.

    Utah had 1 bench player okay more than 9 minutes and they had no legs for threes in the second half. I goes was the second best bench player in the league, starting him because of the Conley injury has really hurt Utahs bench.

    I said months ago they could of traded for 2 or 3 guys on the Grizzlies who barely even play and coasted to a title. Only have 7 NBA players.

    True, Utah could have filled their bench out. To have 1 bench okayer play more than 9 minutes late in a series is horrible. Ingles starting has really hurt their bench.

    Welp, this is where the rubber meets the road. Lose this game and it's goodnight sweetheart for my beloved Clippers. Of course they'll have a game 7 in Utah, but that's just a formality, a "last meal" if you will.

    Buuuuuut... If the Clippers can close the deal here tonight in front of the first capacity crowd at Staples Center since the scamdemic, then this Little Engine That Could will be granted a stay of execution, at least for four more games.

    C'mon Clipshow!
