I spoke to @TripleH about the bond he formed with @Hali during his recovery for @SLAMonline: “When you’re in the middle of something at the peak, [it] couldn’t be going any better and then pow, you’re down and you’re out,” Triple H continues. “You feel like you’re the only person that’s ever had this happen to them, and it’s the most devastating thing in the world. [But] when somebody else calls you and goes, Hey man, it’s gonna be OK, [it means a lot]. I felt that, and I hit him, because I liked him so much as a human being. I thought maybe it’d be one of those things where it goes to a pile of text messages that he’s gotten from other people and nothing, but I clearly could see that, OK, he’s engaging with me on this. And I started checking on him regularly, he started to respond to me regularly, and I think that kind of started a bit more of a bigger relationship between him and I. It’s hard, man. That’s a hard road. And what’s harder is the mental battle of, Can I be what I was? Can I be as good as I was?” https://t.co/2lxWEWAsEE

Coach Nat writing “NO FUCKIN’ MERCY” on the board is insane 😂 FYI not sure what game it was, def not this dream series. 📸: kelseymcclellan on IG https://t.co/BRkj8BGGuB

From 2016. Alonso on the left is still racing. Button is a commentator now

So have the Clippers not posted their giveaway schedule because they can't find any sponsors?

I assume they're desperate to sell tickets, but all I can find is a listing for "special ticket packs" (which are designed to identify big spenders to further sell to) (and this year are offering stuff you'd get for free at a Dodgers game).
