Clippers Game Results (Part 11: 1981 vs 1973)

(11) 1981 San Diego Clippers (36-46) vs. (32) 1973 Buffalo Braves (21-61)

The rookie year of McAdoo…Let’s see if they win against 1981….Probably, as it’s doubtful the threeheaded monster of McAdoo, Kauffman, and Elmore Smith can be stopped….

Clippers Game Results (Part 10: 1997 vs. 1972)

(12) 1997 Los Angeles Clippers (36-46) vs. (31) 1972 Buffalo Braves (22-60)

Clippers Game Results (Part 4: 2001 vs 1978)

(18) 2001 Los Angeles Clippers (31-51) vs. (25) 1978 Buffalo Braves (27-55)

Awful matchup…The only way that any of these games will be a thriller would be if someone makes a shot to make it 2-0 at the end of regulation.

Clippers Game Results (Part 3: 1977 vs 2004)

(19) 1977 Buffalo Braves (30-52) vs. (24) 2004 Los Angeles Clippers (28-54)

Clippers fans may be thinking that “yay, we get to see McAdoo”…well you WOULD…but he played only 20 games due to being traded. Only 8 players are eligible for this team…we may have some weird lineups in Buffalo…

The Clippers (Part 2)

We're finishing off the first of the LA teams today....

(11) 1981 San Diego Clippers (36-46) vs. (32) 1973 Buffalo Braves (21-61)

OK team I guess…Freeman Williams led them with 19 points, and Phil Smith had 17-2-5. Swen Nater had 16-12, and Michael Brooks had 15-5-3. Bill Walton was out all year. Nothing special (but really, what Clippers team is…), but not TOO bad…

The Clippers (Part 1)

Well, it’s Clippers time. As we said before, a WHOLE lot of blown out knees…Not much positiveness…only Bob McAdoo…Remember they used to be in Buffalo, where we start.

(1) 1975 Buffalo Braves (49-33) 

They didn’t have ONE 50 win team in 41 years….Every team formed before 1995 (before the Grizzlies/Raptors expansion, though Memphis has won 50 before...) have won 50 in a year…not LA. Bob McAdoo played in his best Buffalo year, averaging 35-14. Randy Smith had 18-4-7, Jim McMillian had 14-6, and Gar Heard had 11-10….pretty good team I guess.
