There’s a well known lyric to a song by the late, great Tom Petty that seems pretty applicable as fans of the LA Clippers count the days, or if you’re like me, the hours, until we might see Kawhi Leonard on our home court in a Clippers jersey:
“The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part.”
Just a few days from now, the Clippers come home from their Hawaii preseason training camp to take on the Denver Nuggets in their first home game since the rotation of the universe changed for the Clipper faithful on July 5, with the blockbuster acquisitions of Leonard and Paul George.
