Around SBN: An Explanation For Some Of The Perplexing HOF Snubs

Clippers @ San Antonio (Pre-Season) - Open Thread

Los Angeles Clippers at San Antonio Spurs, Oct 14, 2009 5:30 PM PDT


OK, I'm starting to get into a little better rhythm hear.  I'm actually remembering to post a Game Thread, so that's good.  There's no TV on this one - just the radio on AM 980, KFWB.  Start time is 5:30.

There's not much point in analyzing the Spurs a lot.  It's pre-season, and Popovich barely cares about the regular season.  The Spurs are all about the playoffs.  Obviously they've added some major pieces this off-season - Richard Jefferson, Antonio McDyess, and second round pick DeJuan Blair has been tearing up the pre-season.  But don't kid yourselves - as always the Spurs will be all about Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. Who knows if any of those guys will actually play in this game.

For the Clippers, it's a chance to see if they can play well away from home.

Maybe Roberson should get a lot of run tonight...

No need to run Baron into the ground during the preseason.

I’d like to see some of the bench players get a lot of minutes tonight.

Starting lineup

PG:Baron
SG:Gordon
SF:Ricky
PF:Griffin
C:DJ

should be a fun group to watch

In Gordon we trust

Thornton isn't starting?

Are they already prepping him to be the 6th man energy guy?

anyone have a feed for the game?

yeah it is BS

hopefully they get it working by season, although thankfully no blackouts on TV this year.

We really seem to struggle without Baron and Telfai

I’d like to see the team bring in a true 3rd PG.

by Hooch20 on Oct 14, 2009 6:41 PM PDT reply actions  

yeah

I don’t know how many true 3rd PG are still available

In Gordon we trust

by bestclipfan on Oct 14, 2009 6:43 PM PDT reply actions  

can McNeal play PG?

either way he won’t be a true one.

halftime…still no roberson looks like IF another guard is coming aboard..its either rush or mcneal, with a slight edge to rush. lets see who gets more “time to shine” in the second half.

by KidJustin on Oct 14, 2009 6:55 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't think McNeal can play the PG

He’s more of a shooter, I don’t if he ever ran the PG in College

by Qlippers on Oct 14, 2009 7:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

However,

Roberson should get a look, the Chris Broussard look a like.

by Qlippers on Oct 14, 2009 7:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

wow better play already

BD steals the ball and passes to BG for the dunk

by bestclipfan on Oct 14, 2009 6:54 PM PDT reply actions  

Steal by Baron

leads to Griffin scoring

It's on radio

just not on the internet radio. The current score is the Spurs leading 68-66 at the end of the 3rd

Me too.. Waive Ricky or Skinner, and sign him

I know Kaman homie wouldn't like it but

I think Skinner is not doing much at all and Ricky seems to be actually into the game and is making his shots

Anyone feel

that the Clips are trying too hard by playing their normal rotation guys so much… i mean compared to duncan or jefferson, davis and butler play 25+mins while duncan and jefferson 16+mins although i do realize theyre trying to keep duncan fresh until playoff time

by Final692 on Oct 14, 2009 7:39 PM PDT reply actions  

Not really...

Kaman, Camby, Telfair, and Gordon all have the night off

by CLiPPz WeRD 12 on Oct 14, 2009 7:40 PM PDT up reply actions  

not really

most of the normal rotation players aren’t playing except for Al and BG none of the clippers rotation players aren’t playing too much. And they need the game time experience

In Gordon we trust

by bestclipfan on Oct 14, 2009 7:40 PM PDT up reply actions  

and if craig smith didn't foul out...

he’d be in and BG would still be on the bench.

by STUCK IN LA on Oct 14, 2009 7:41 PM PDT up reply actions  

It's cool...

They can’t even think about the playoffs right now. They just need to win and get the ball rolling. They have a lot to prove.

by Newton Pham on Oct 14, 2009 7:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

Different Situation

The Clips will benefit from building a higher team confidence with some well fought wins and going into the regular season with momentum. They have a monkey on their back that most other teams do not, so it’s more important for them to take these games seriously.

yeah i see your points

i just feel like baron and butler should not have to play that many minutes

i do want BG to play though, mostly for experience… 2nd most for highlight reel plays haha

by Final692 on Oct 14, 2009 7:44 PM PDT reply actions  

Baron and Butler only played 25 minutes

and without Telfair and Gordon Dunleavy really didn’t have anyone else to play backup for too long.
