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
anyone have a feed for the game?

Good game to see how DJ plays w/ Major mins.
I think Camby and Kaman are sitting
I remember that movie
I remember MJ looking weird next to the animated looney toons
In Gordon we trust
I called 980am today
They said they may be a blackout for online listening(WTF) at least through the preseason
yeah it is BS
hopefully they get it working by season, although thankfully no blackouts on TV this year.
In Gordon we trust
true

is there a link
to a radio broadcast? i actually dont have a radio in the house
Clippz have not made a shot in this quarter.. 3 1/2 minutes in.

We really seem to struggle without Baron and Telfai
I’d like to see the team bring in a true 3rd PG.
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.
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
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
In Gordon we trust
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
In Gordon we trust
yes

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
Not really...
Kaman, Camby, Telfair, and Gordon all have the night off

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
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.
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
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.
In Gordon we trust
If one has a bad night, the other will most likely pick up the slack
Butler last night and Al tonight.
No mercy for Thornton tonight :)

In Gordon we trust
