My 6,925 Mile Journey!
By Brian Sieman February 22, 2012, 1:43 amSIEMAN SAYS
Clippers radio announcer Brian Sieman took off with the club for one of the longest trips of the season, as the Clippers ventured out on a 6,925 mile journey that saw them play six games in 11 days.
Here’s is Brian’s take on the trip:
FRIDAY, FEB. 3 - One last family hug before my long flight…..

FRIDAY, FEB. 3 - I mean, REALLY long flight………

SATURDAY, FEB. 4 - My office for the day in D.C., Clippers would win over the crowd, loudest cheer for Blake after monster throw down.

SATURDAY, FEB. 4 - I’d rather run out of clean underwear than run out of these. My new “can’t live without”.

SUNDAY, FEB. 5 - Super Bowl Sunday, meet Super Nachos in Orlando!

TUESDAY, FEB. 7 - I know saying you only go to Dunkin’ Donuts for the coffee is like saying you only “read” a certain magazine for the articles, but it’s true for me……on both accounts.

WEDNESDAY, FEB. 8 - In a season that already has a thousand images, this is my least favorite. An injured Chauncey Billups addresses the media in Cleveland.

WEDNESDAY, FEB. 8 - My favorite scoreboard, ever is in Cleveland. Why? It not only tells you the score, but the difference between them.

THURSDAY, FEB. 9 - You’re surrounded by history everywhere you go in Philadelphia, Liberty Hall.

THURSDAY, FEB. 9 - Liberty Bell. I’m sure that Ralph in his younger days in Philly had something to do with the crack.

THURSDAY, FEB. 9 - Talk about history. Not a bigger historical site than this. The Wanamaker Building, filming location for perhaps the greatest film and most tragic Oscar snub of all time: Mannequin

THURSDAY, FEB. 9 - Philly Cheesesteak mecca. Forget Geno’s or Pat’s, Jim’s on South Street is THE place. Come armed with cash (no credit cards) and patience, 45 minute wait very common.

THURSDAY, FEB. 9 - Extra Cheese Wiz please. I had 2 of these bad boys. Don’t worry, I had a diet coke…..and an angioplasty. Up next: Diabetes!

THURSDAY, FEB. 9 - Ishkabibble’s, another gem on South Street for Cheesesteaks.
My cardiologist, however, says no.

FRIDAY, FEB.10 – The fact that there are zero DD’s in LA is an outrage. You want my vote Obama/Romney?!?! Make this happen and we’ll talk.

FRIDAY, FEB. 10 – The second- best thing about playing in Philly: Pretzels in the locker room!!!
