Steve Ballmer's Wall-to-Fierce Game 7 Strategy
In a bold move, Steve Ballmer, the Clippers' owner, has rallied his loyal fans to storm the enemy den for Game 7.
On a typical Friday, Los Angeles season-ticket holders David Evans, Paul Boulos, and other die-hard fans of "The Wall" - Intuit Dome's infamous baseline section famed for free-throw distractions - might have expected a routine email. But this time, their inbox popped with an extraordinary message, inviting them to Denver for a clandestine mission.
According to them, Ballmer, in true Clipper spirit, organized a bus, a plane, and 125 tickets. A secret meeting was set for Saturday at the West Garage of the Intuit Dome, says Clipper enthusiast, Mason Cook. The forthcoming clash was about to transform into an L.A. extravaganza at the Ball Arena.
Nuggets Finish the series in Game 7: Denver Bound
"Never in NBA history has an owner gone this extra mile for his fans," Evans told our outlet before the game. "And who calls to request an armada of tickets, a private aircraft, and multiple charter buses? Only Steve Ballmer could concoct this mind-blowing stunt."
"You bet," Boulos chimed in, standing beside Evans. "Because ain't nobody else in the world can pull off such a stunt."
As the Ball Arena slowly filled, a cacophony of hoots and jeers echoed uniquely, the voice of Los Angeles' loyal fans scattered behind the baseline. Denver's famed "We Believe" towels were hastily discarded, replaced by signs like "Fear the Wall."
"Get lost! Go back home!" a solitary Nuggets supporter dressed as The Joker bellowed. He received a riposte, aptly, from the wall of jeers.
Ballmer outmaneuvered the Clippers' coach, Tyronn Lue, who urged fans to attend brunch and rally for Game 7. The fans were supposed to channel energy and zeal. However, they were outdone by Ballmer's extraordinary move, a remarkable exhibition of out-of-the-box marketing ingenuity that has been a staple of Ballmer's since he purchased the Clippers in 2014.
When the Denver Nuggets thought they could dominate Clippers' turf in their own grounds, they were in for a surprise. "If the Denver Nuggets believed they could overpower the Clippers in their backyard, without the whole swarm—the entire Wall—swarming upon them, then they have a big surprise coming," Boulos roared on Saturday.
