Man, it’s been a tough week for the Los Angeles Clippers.
Not only did Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and company get eliminated from the NBA Playoffs by the Houston Rockets despite holding a 3-1 series lead at one point, now one of their fans is crying over a woman on Craigslist.
Apparently a missed connection, the Clippers fan posted the note on the buying and selling website, hoping he could find the basketball fan who stole his heart.
Me: The Los Angeles Clippers, a 40 something-year old pro-basketball team.
You: The Conference Finals.
Where: Staples Center, downtown LA.
I saw you there, briefly, from where I was on the court. Golden and wonderful, you smelled like victory and confetti. I was intoxicated with the thought of reaching you. You smiled — I thought at me — and it was a smile that went right through my being, that made everything seem perfect, whole and worthwhile. Then, with, like, six minutes left to go in the game, I looked up and you were gone.
Talk about heartbreaking huh? Not only did he watch his basketball team have an epic choke job, but now he’s missed out on love.
Tough times indeed. But hey – there is always next year and plenty of fish in the sea, right?!
