Denver Basketball Team, Nuggets, Faces Competition in NBA Playoffs
Clippers' Fervent Fans Invade Denver for Game 7
Steve Ballmer, the almighty owner of the LA Clippers, didn't disappoint his dedicated fan base when it mattered most. A tidal wave of enthusiasm was unleashed upon the unsuspecting Denver Nuggets for Game 7, as Ballmer chartered a mining expedition straight out of Clippers Nation.
Email notifications startled season-ticket holders David Evans, Paul Boulos, and a gaggle of The Swell – the adored Intuit Dome basement sect renowned for their free-throw antics – with instructions to join a secret mission in Denver. And a secret it was, given that Ballmer secured a private jet, 125 match tickets, and three comfy charter buses to whisk this fanatical crew away without a hitch. These lucky lot convened Saturday at the West Garage of the Intuit Dome, before hopping on a jet bound for LAX, ready to inject some west coast vibes into the heart of the Rockies.
"Never in the history of the NBA have fans received such an out of the blue show of appreciation from an owner," Evans marveled, eyes wide with disbelief. "But when you're talking about Steve Ballmer – well, dear reader, you can bet your bottom dollar that nobody in the basketball world can match his fantasy factory!" added Boulos.
Tension filled the otherwise quiet Ball Arena, as the Clipper contingent began to make their presence known pre-match. Slowly, the hoots and hollers reverberated off the arena walls, finally drowning out the desolate "We Believe" towels and replacing them with signs declaring "Fear the Wall" – a testament to the loyalty and passion that makes up The Swell.
A lone, wretched Joker-clad fan cried out from the neighboring section, "Get out of here! Go home!" Only to be met with a hailstorm of jeers that echoed throughout Ball Arena, sealing his fate.
On a roll from their stunning Game 6 victory, Clippers Head Coach Tyronn Lue urged his fans to "grab some brunch and head on over" for Game 7. They needed every ounce of energy and fervor, he said. This group of dedicated fans proved that, even in enemy territory, their spirit would prevail.
However, this spirited enthusiasm couldn't withstand the remarkable showmanship of Ballmer. A truly historical move by an owner already known for his unrivaled marketing stunts since buying the Clippers in 2014, The Swell was front and center in Game 7, creating a chasm of momentum that the Nuggets simply couldn't overcome.

"If the Denver Nuggets expected us to waltz into their stadium in enemy territory and not have our entire following storm the gates – well, that's just child's play to Steve Ballmer and his loyal band of Clipper diehards," Boulos sneered with pride.
