In the spirit of my award-winning Vlade Divac Haiku Cycle, here are a handful of haunting, evocative short poems inspired by the Los Angeles Clippers.
The L.A. Clippers
Had a 17-point lead
Lost the game, of course
The L.A. Clippers
Had a 3-1 series lead
Lost 4-3, of course
Blake Griffin is big
And strong. But when he gets fouled
He still whines a lot
Coach Glenn ‘Doc’ Rivers
Won’t play the guys that GM
Glenn ‘Doc’ Rivers signs
DeAndre Jordan
Can not shoot free throws. Must we
Watch him miss again?
Chris Paul is the best
Point guard in the NBA
Ask John Wall’s ankles
Most players would stop
Shooting if they missed ten straight.
Not Jamal Crawford!
Austin Rivers stinks
He is the coach’s son, though
So he plays a lot
BONUS 70’s TV-THEMED HAIKU:
White Shadow Ken Reeves
Coaching hoops at Carver High
How’s his part so straight?
